  1. Re:Intuitive User Interface on The Future & History of the User Interface · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because when you're looking at a girl while shaking your head up and down it's like saying: "hmm nice breasts, nice legs. YES, I want to fuck you". Shaking your head left/right is like "NO I don't want to fuck you, I am not even looking at you. I'm searching left and right for a better prey."

  2. Re:Proxies? on Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace · · Score: 1

    Indeed, with mind bending articles like "Dude Wheres your B: Drive?" it is no wonder digg is becoming more and more the technology website for the masses.

  3. privacy concern? on Microsoft Adds Risky System-Wide Undelete to Vista · · Score: 1

    It can be disabled (and should be by default or asked for on first boot) If it's easy to locate the enabled folders (like your shared folders) then I don't see a problem with privacy.

  4. Re:I used to wonder just this on Why Have Movies Been So Bad Lately? · · Score: 1

    Fight Club, memento and toy story are o.k, the others you name are too mushy for my taste.

    The most recent o.k movies I've seen would be 'land of the dead (2005)' and 'the island (2005)'.

    Another annoying thing is seeing the same actors over and over again. Who on earth wants to see 'the lake house' (2006) with Sandra Bullock when there is the excellent Korean version 'Siworae' (2000) ??

    Here are some movies that I found quite enjoyable:
    The thing, alien, aliens, screamers, apocalypse now, full metal jacket, videodrome, avalon, Predator (I), There's Something About Mary, The Thirteenth Floor, Where Eagles Dare, An American Werewolf in London, Angel Heart, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, eXistenZ, Near Dark, Photographing Fairies, Reindeer Games, Road Trip, Stark Raving Mad, Waterworld, Mad Max 2, Stark Raving Mad, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bladerunner, Scanners, Split Second, Fucking Åmål, Napoleon Dynamite ;), Space Truckers ;).

    Feel free to extent this list :)

    boring movies:
    Lawnmower Man *, The Matrix *, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Hulk, ET, DeepStar Six, Spider Man, Project Viper, The Hole, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

  5. Re:Hmm... on Solar System in a Can May Reveal Hidden Dimensions · · Score: 1

    And if they find no deviation from the real solar system, would that mean that our solar system is inside a gigantic spacecraft?

  6. Re:I'm confused on Toxic Moondust Bounces Like A Cannonball · · Score: 1

    You know, we used to do lots of Newton excersises and it's depressing to find out that I've forgotten most of it; Well, it was fun while it lasted.

  7. Re:I'm confused on Toxic Moondust Bounces Like A Cannonball · · Score: 1
    Maybe... but is this also the case when:
    1.The balls have same sizes (and thus the rubber ball less mass)
    2.They bounce 'up' countering 1G of gravity. ?

    That's why I said (between parenthesis) that weight reduces the bouncing effect of a cannonball compared to a rubber ball.

  8. Re:I'm confused on Toxic Moondust Bounces Like A Cannonball · · Score: 1

    I don't think they refer to it's mass (heavy balls don't bounce up because of mass&gravity) but to their (supposely similar) elasticity. Hard metal spheres when they collide in a pendulum style arrangement will carry on 'clicking' for a long time.

  9. Re:For their next trick... on First Silicon Laser · · Score: 3, Funny
    they should start working on a silicone laser.
    You know...to make bigger boobies.

    That would be a silicone pump laser.

  10. Insightful?? on The Role of the Operating System In the Future · · Score: 1
    If every application runs on any OS .. [problem omitted]

    Diversity is good. Lets just have two or three major operating systems in the future, probably running the same applications, but not on exactly the same code base on a nice interactivity layer

    Why is the second paragraph (2 or 3 OS) better than the first (having applications run on any OS)? Is '2 or 3 OS' more diverse than 'any OS'?

  11. Bummer on Requiem for Usenet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shit! If it's already on digg for two weeks then it's probably all over the net. It really looked like a hot release and I was hoping to trade it. I could really use a boost in the rankings. I remember the days when slashdot had all the 0-day newz first, it's now just fakes and dupes. I think the scene is dying and slashdot is just the first to go down.

  12. Re:You know what that means, don't you? on Microsoft to Require 64-bit Processors · · Score: 1

    That's why I burn my excess money at the end of the month, no point in keeping it if I don't use it.

  13. Re:From first-hand experience, it doesn't on Gaming Fanatics Show Hallmarks of Drug Addiction · · Score: 1
    I have lost several friends to overdose and hiv as a result of drug abuse. I have lost no friends to "gaming addiction".

    That's because it's really hard to overdose with gaming. I don't know if gaming addiction is less serious than drug addiction (I tend to believe so) but what you wrote there is not logical at all: something is not less addictive just because it's non lethal.

  14. Re:WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN, "TEXTMODE QUAKE"? on Loyalists Preserve Past Through Text-Only Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am the only who feels a sudden urge to ask him for the source code of Quake?

  15. Re:Audiophile response on Fiber Optic vs Copper · · Score: 1
    I use special oxide free copper wiring and power cords to eliminate excessive "power banding" that produce a grittiness to the intenet.

    "Connecting wet" also helps reducing external influences: make your data communication equipment water proof and submerge it in water. Make sure there's at least 3 inches of water on all sides, place it on a mug or something to have enough water below. Never use tap water, instead use distilled water, which can be easily found in your supermarket or drugstore.

  16. Re:fiber speeds over copper on Fiber Optic vs Copper · · Score: 1
    DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing [protocol]) which allows each wavelength of light (aka each color) to be it's own data channel on the same fiber line.

    Sounds like "multi mode fiber". The problem with it is dispersion which makes it unusable over long distances.

  17. Re:One reason TO upgrade ASAP on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Vista, supposedly, fixed the nasty "ALT+F4" bug in XP. The bug, in case anyone wants to check their system, causes a system crash when you press "ALT" and "F4" at the same time. Go on... Try it now...

    Well done, that's a very confusing comment. It did made me laugh but I am not sure what it was supposed to be.

    Yeah and a bit later there was countless stuff like:

    So what? Specifics regarding Microsoft's contributions are not welcome here, therefore the moderation is correct. Note that insightful/interesting and certainly funny are subjective.

    I think the "start -> shut down..." GUI design is pretty innovative.

  23. Re:How about speeding it up, now on IBM Slows the Speed of Light · · Score: 1
    Another way to think of it is that the theory models a subset of the universe. If there is a way to speed up light then the theory is right/wrong depending on whether the method to speed up light is within that subset or not. Defining the subset is the tricky part ofcourse.

    Newton is inaccurate when describing gravity under normal conditions on large scale, Einstein seems to be correct on this. Teleporting light (for example) isn't going to make the theory wrong because if this does appear naturally on quantumn scale then it's not 'large scale' and I don't think it can be concidered 'normal conditions' when it does happen on large scale.

    And what is it about us criticising MS that scares you?

    The duplicate comments.

    You just bought a product from a corporation. They're not even paying you. And yet you leap to their defence?

    You really assume too much, but you're right in that they're not paying me.

    I was just observing, you know that I am right if you don't read more than there is. I used to be a zealot myself, that's why it's so great to read all the comments of the *nix zealots making fun of MS. One day when you're old and wise you'll understand.
