  1. Re:Google is biased... on Google Announces Summer of Code 2008 Projects · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My UID is prime too!

  2. Re:A 100% requirement is not achievable on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    Right, I believe the courier layer is what I was talking about. I was referring to 'original seeders', not people that have merely completed downloading the file.

  3. Re:A 100% requirement is not achievable on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    Broadcast TV/radio, purchased DVD, purchased games, etc :) Any number of sources outside of the torrent systems in general

  4. Re:A 100% requirement is not achievable on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    What about people that seed almost exclusively?

    Their "download" came from out of the system.

  5. Re:Imagine an infinite-length wire "track" on IBM Creates Working "Racetrack Memory" · · Score: 2, Funny

    If I had an infinite length track, I'd sell it for infinite money.

    The cake is a lie.

  8. Re:It's not the ultimate meaning... on Hitchhiker's Guide Turns 30 · · Score: 1

    The universe operates in base 13!

  9. Re:The answer.. on Hitchhiker's Guide Turns 30 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The answer isn't that it's impossible to know both the question and the answer... because the universe wasn't replaced by one more infinitely strange. :)

  10. Re:WTF? on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    I thought ICBMs were delivery containers?

  11. Re:Kids have it lucky these days on Google Announces Summer of Code 2008 · · Score: 1

    Summer of Code is college level :)

  12. Re:Careful with the cheering on Analog Cell Phone Network Shuts Down Monday · · Score: 1

    I've noticed that if I switch my phone to Analog only mode it will extend the battery life GREATLY in those analogy only areas... mostly because it doesn't keep trying to find a digital tower to connect to.

  13. Re:Sugar is Free. Cream is Free. WiFi SHOULD be to on The Starbucks/AT&T Deal To Change Perception of Public Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    They would probably make a lot more money if they stopped putting your money that is going towards water and electricity into the coffee.... I also imagine the coffee wouldn't be that great either

  14. Re:NameCheap. ICANN has made a mess of management. on Drop-Catching Domains Is Big Business · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they do, but first you get a free (year?) of it.

  15. Re:What needs to change on Drop-Catching Domains Is Big Business · · Score: 1

    I personally recommend Namecheap (namecheap.com), as I haven't had any difficulties with them yet (and free WhoisGuard :) )

  16. Re:It's also a cause of the problem described on Corporate Email Etiquette - Dead or Alive? · · Score: 1

    I think all of us know how annoying it is to get disturbed during our DnD, never knew there was a special status for it though!

  17. Re:Am I getting this right? on EFF Takes On RIAA "Making Available" Theory · · Score: 1

    Right, but in your examples you're the one being stolen from, not the record companies.

  18. Re:Am I getting this right? on EFF Takes On RIAA "Making Available" Theory · · Score: 1

    The only problem with your logic is that you are using physical copies... after they've been taken they are no longer in your possession.

  19. Re:boring on Assassin's Creed And the Future of Sandbox Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just use it once in a while to tow the random unsuspecting person at the stop light and drive them into the water.

  20. Re:boring on Assassin's Creed And the Future of Sandbox Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    It works well if there are a lot of fun distractions and "sidequests" to do. Just look at GTA: San Andreas... "I'm taking my towtruck to the do...AIRPLANES! LETS GO FLY AIRPLANES!"

  21. I'm sure... on Mathematician Theorizes a Crystal As Beautiful As A Diamond · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that the women won't think it as beautiful as a (natural) diamond!

  22. Re:Newspaper comics on Online Cartoonist Finds Financial Success Offline · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the one where he was all ready to kick that football, but it was pulled away!!! Oh boy that one never gets old

  23. Re:What's the point here? on CES Scorecard 2007 - What Came True; What Didn't · · Score: 1

    Actually the 1080 in 1080p/i refers to height, the resolution is actually 1920x1080

  24. Re:I'm sorry on Crime Wave Thwarted in Second Life · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On a weird side related note, after posting that I noticed Firestarter was flashing red and 16 attempts on various ports from an IP that resolves to slashdot.org were recorded... What gives for that?

  25. I'm sorry on Crime Wave Thwarted in Second Life · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I run the Linux client, perhaps you could deliver this streaming video.... so I can more easily turn it off.
