  1. Re:grep .*revolution.* wars.txt on Making Small Steps Against Censorship · · Score: 1

    how long ago did those revolutions happen? i dont think a violent uprising by the people is going to produce results - particularly in china where the government has a considerable army at its beck and call. large demonstrations and enough unrest - possibly.

  2. Re:Offtopic Warning! on Halo Movie Deal Moves Closer · · Score: 1

    interesting. i only saw it in the theater. do any of the games have that much in common? other than mechanics and charater archtypes?

  3. Re:This is why Hollywood pisses me off.... on Halo Movie Deal Moves Closer · · Score: 1

    a fourth? i liked the tv series but wished they would follow a random immortal until he/she was taken. then follow the victor for a few episodes. i hate how the main characters can never die. if you need a consistent character to draw an audience, use a watcher.

  4. article makes a good point... on Making Small Steps Against Censorship · · Score: 3, Insightful
    ...laws dont get changed by people breaking them because they disagree with the law. change within the 'system'.

    small steps, it is how we loose freedom, it is how we get it back.

  5. Re:This is why Hollywood pisses me off.... on Halo Movie Deal Moves Closer · · Score: 1
    wasnt the same said about the lord of the rings? thats appears to have done well.

    i never saw mario brothers. is it worse than the highlander trilogy? (i was amazed they concocted a sequel after the first one, not to mention a third)

  6. Re:ugh on Halo Movie Deal Moves Closer · · Score: 1

    not really. i see it the same as the final fantasy movie. intersting story and state-of-the-art cg.

  7. obligitory.... on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 3, Funny
    ...yes, but does it run windows?

    ;P

  8. i understand now.. on SETI Disrupted By Cell Phones in Airplanes? · · Score: 2, Funny

    this is why the aliens gave us cell phone technology.

  9. now all we need... on The Formula for a Successful Sitcom · · Score: 1

    soooo, what is the formula for a *bad* sitcom?

  10. Re:Hmm.... on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    i understand the multiple labels, but how does that help me? if i need to search for something i will use a keyword. just looking at the label can give to broad of a result.

  11. Re:Hmm.... on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    i really dont understand how gmail labels are different than folders. i still click a word and there are all the files associated w/ that word. just no nifty folder icon next to it.

  12. Re:Hmm on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    as a side note to your comment: my wife runs a tutoring business and recently received a request for tutoring from a parent who says the teacher wont teach their child spelling and grammar becuase "those things are checked by computer". its amzaing.

  13. i dont get it... on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...if they have to do know how to do it by hand, why do they even have a calculator available during the test. back in the olden days (90's) we had to take an exam w/o calculators to prove compentency before we could use them in class.

  14. Re:Sign me up for the monastery on Monks See Through Optical Illusion Games · · Score: 1
    the point is to not see the other two dots. the swirling blue dots makes your eyes move without you telling them to. the monks are able to focus on a single dot, causing the others disappear due to the blind spot in the human eye. they have greater control over the subconscious things their body does than you do. that is the point

    your eye is twitching around a lot. the monk can cause his eye to *not* twitch.

  15. Re:Cognitive gaps are more signficant on The Science of Star Wars · · Score: 1

    intelligent design baby! problem solved ;)

  16. i think things will change... on iTunes More Popular Than Most P2P Sites · · Score: 1
    ...the music and movie industry will eventually realize what a cash cow pay per download / subscription music and movie services will be. i browsed p2p during the days of napster and found it to be a waste of my time. poor quality / incomplete songs. i would much rather pay a buck or two per song for something complete and high quality.

    a decent printer is easy to get. liner notes etc. could be bundled in.

    i am just surprised it is taking so long.

  17. Re:Might as well make ripping audio CDs illegal!!! on DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order · · Score: 1
    i think you inadvertantly just made the best point against DRM. i currently have my entire music collection of 3 seperate devices: home computer, office computer and mp3 player.

    i should be able to have my entire movie collection stored on a couple devices as well. that way if i have multiple tv's or residences i can watch a movie that i purchased, in different locations. my bedroom, tv room, beach house, etc. (not that i have a beach house, but someday...)

  18. Re:Red light cameras on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 1
    not to be paranoid but, what proves that the time stamp isnt faked? also, it would take me less than 5 minutes to change a green light to a red light in photoshop. that would be a pretty good profit margin for a company and the police. this assumes the pictures are digital, i doubt that there is a roll of film attached to that camera.

    i much prefer that an actual person stop me and hand over the ticket.

  19. Re:Are CRTs on the way out? on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    hell, i am playing UT2K4 on my notebook without any blurring. some people must be more sensitive than others.

  20. all very well but what is IPv6? on IPv6 for the Linksys WRT54G · · Score: 1
    i've seen a couple articles about IPv6 lately and was wondering if someone could explain it to the 'unwashed masses' such as myself? i am a shade-tree computuer person - knows enough to get in trouble.

    what is it?

    what is the benefit to the average user like me?

  21. Re:Terminology is chosen to generate emotions on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 1

    The definitions of words change. Gay is no longer just 'Happy' and a Faggot is no longer just a 'bundle of sticks'. Don't forget Cunt!

  22. Re:Oh crap! on Deleting Emails Costs Morgan Stanley $1.45B · · Score: 2, Interesting

    of course the sys. admin. could have been told to lose the old email or just not retain it...

  23. this is lame... on Library to Require Fingerprint to Use PCs · · Score: 1
    which library employees relative works for the bio-metrics company?

    seriously though, an account linked to a library card easily found a criminal, why tie it to a fingerprint?

  24. Re:If you want the most unique visitors on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 1

    did somebody say: free lesbian porn?

  25. from TFA on Illinois Senate OKs Violent Games Bill · · Score: 1
    "require store owners to determine which games are too violent or sexually explicit for anyone under 18."

    so as a store owner i can determine that no game is too viloent or sexually explicit and just sell it to anyone?
