  1. Re:Which little boy would that be? on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 0, Informative

    Now I've seen everything. Ok, the ID has one digit more than the automatic mod-up threshold, but this comment is genuinely insightful and funny and it deserves better than this.

  2. Re:Ob: on Apple to Unveil New Leopard OS in August · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Whoever modded this down is a gay phaggot mac fanboi shirtlifter with no sense of humor.

    1) Tell us that you weren't smart enough for college.
    2) Tell us that you weren't smart enough for highschool either, but managed to blag your way through by sheer dumb luck.
    3) ....
    4) KARMA!!!!!!

  4. Re:another good idea. on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 0

    It's a matter of degree (if you'll pardon the pun). Increasing the number of graduates by 5 or 10% might not make much difference. Doubling the numbers will.

    So, insightful my arse.

  5. Re:Uh, no surprises here on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 0
    You show up at a major countries statehouse

    One, it's "a major country's".
    Two, they probably don't call it a statehouse.
    Three, it isn't a major country's statehouse, it's France's.


    Informative? I don't think so.

  6. Re:Never? on Space Elevator An Impossible Dream? · · Score: 0

    The fact that this tripe got modded up seems to indicate that it's ignorance that's exponential.

  7. Re:How is this anti-DRM? on France Considers Anti-DRM 'iPod Law' · · Score: 0
    There used to be a market for those who would go up mountains and cart down chunks of ice, in fact such services were quite often used by the elite. Ice was difficult to make and people paid well for it. Of course, now that everyone's got an icemaker in their freezer, there's no longer a future in this business.
    Mod up: +1 didn't use the buggywhip analogy.
  8. Re:The Problem Is The Credit Card on The Economy of Online Crime · · Score: -1, Troll

    Some retard quotes US law as a response, on the assumption either that the parent poster lives there or that US law applies everywhere and it gets modded up? Fuck, fuck, fuck. IANAL indeed. Perhaps TFUSINTWFW and ATFWINTFUS too?

    I bet he's fat.

  12. Re:and... on Low Emission Cars Continue to Gain Popularity · · Score: 0
    Insightful in the sense that it can be cleaner - because it's easier to put one big air cleaner (S02 absorber or whatever) at the power station rather than one per car. That's assuming you use fossil fuel - such things as nuclear reactors don't scale down too well anyway. But you're probably right about efficiency, in general more conversions = more loss.

    Equally, it could just be insightful because cliffski has a 5 digit ID.

    You do have an ID in the mid 600000 range, so you have not been around here long, have you?
    Do you think you got modded up on the basis of what you wrote, or your 5 digits?

    All you "Look at me, I got a low ID" brigade are just fat useless twats who were already unemployed and bored before the dotcom crash.

  15. Re:Force Field? on Mysterious 'Forcefield' Tested on US Tanks · · Score: 2, Funny
    A sci-fi forcefield covers a large area, and will require an investment of some kind of energy and matter proportional at least proportional to the area of the protection surface.
    Wrong. A sci-fi force field will not exist. Because "fi" is short for fiction.

    Seems that Pretentious * Mathobabble + 5 figure ID = mod up.
  16. Re:More reasons for repudiating copyright and IP on Blizzard Sued By Game Guide Creator · · Score: 0
    why is it OK to protect the overall look of a game or the name when pieces of the game are taken directly from thousands of games before it?
    Perhaps because the whole is more than the sum of the parts? I think that if you write an original song you should be able to copyright it - but not the individual notes & chords in it.
    Making a knockoff or a product that supports another is the best part of competition -- it gives the market a choice in goods of varying prices and quality
    If the original product requires considerable investment of time, money or any other resources to develop then anyone making a knockoff is nothing but a parasite. They're riding on someone else by getting free R&D. You claim to be an entrepreneur but you don't seem to understand what investment is, let alone return thereon.

    However, this is not a knockoff. It's a complementary product. What next - a bakery suing someone for making butter? Blizzard are stupid asses, but disagreeing with them doesn't mean that you aren't one too.

    How the heck your smoke, mirrors and handwaving got modded insightful is a mystery.

    Seconded. PC-PHIX (888080) is the sixth biggest asshat in, like, the whole world totally forever - after the five who modded him up.

    Way to go with the strawman arguments. The point you're replying to didn't say that people should narrowly specialise, but that science should be about science and not who's best at PR.

    Maybe you think it is fine for one person to eat 2900 calories a day, do little exercise, and stay thin; while another person eats 2000 calories, walks six miles and gains weight. But how is the second person going to control their weight in the long run?
    People are different and life isn't fair; get over it already, or sue someone.

    How this crap got modded up to +5 is a mystery.

  25. Re:Obesity comes from a simple condition... on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 0
    Different people output different amounts of energy. Some people burn hundreds of calories just sitting in front of the TV, because they are jittery. Others can work out every day and still just barely keep up with the caloric intake of a healthy diet.

    That's insightful? What next - there are, like, short people and tall people?
