  1. Re:Advice for my 12 year old self on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ha! I can't tell you how many times I regret having sex with someone. The problem is that when I do turn it down (or not take the opportunity) I always regret that.

    Now that's a paradox for you

  2. Re:Hyperbaric chambers on Alternative Hyperbaric Chamber Use · · Score: 1

    funny, being a dive instructor I always thought that elevated pressures caused bone necrosis. In fact, I am sure they named a condition for it, dybaric osteonecrosis.

  3. Re:Deep sea for everyone! on Personal Submarine Cruises SF Bay · · Score: 1

    So true...

    My favorite part is +5 informative.

    I love to dive so much.

  5. Re:why based on your listening habits? on Discovering New Music? · · Score: 1

    Funny, that's how I discovered Apocalyptica, too. Now, they are one of my favorite groups.

    Yes, the correct saying would be "The truth is out there, mate!"

  7. Re:First two lines of the article.... on Fact and Fiction Behind Bond's Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Obviously a nerd would mod this "insightful."

    ha, perl. God, I am such a geek.

  10. Re:Traditional game content on Retailers Won't Sell New Acclaim Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, that's why there are no more Puritans!

  11. Give Up? on Streaming DVD Video over the Internet · · Score: 1

    At what point do we give up and realize that we can fit more data than real life on a DVD?

  12. Same Here on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P · · Score: 1

    What a coincidence! Tomorrow I am delivering a paper on just the same topic here at UNC. We have an OC-48 connection (2.4 Gb/s) and they have limited all P2P traffic to T1 speed (that's less than 0.1%) because they found that 65% of their traffic was from these programs. The port changing technique tends to work rather well because no one checks 80. The easiest, however, is to just switch programs (they can't block 'em all) or use them at non-standard times.

  13. Re:patriot? on Effects of the Patriot Act on Librarians · · Score: 1

    Dannon, thank God we have people like you in our country. It gives me hope for American Politics after all.

  14. Karma Whore on Taking Issue With The Outer Space Treaty · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For those unfamiliar, the Moon orbits the Earth. Mars, like Earth, Orbits the Sun.

  15. Re:Punishment??? on Copy That Floppy? Go To Jahannum (Hell) · · Score: 1

    That is an excellent point. Though antiquated, mostly ineffective, and cruel, how does software piracy fit into the Hamurabi's (sp?) Code? In reality, no one is stealing, or missing anything.

    our survivors must build a hovercraft out of the surrounding flora and fauna. you have ten hours. begin!

  18. squeelers on When Students Become Informers · · Score: 1

    In my school, underclassmen are not allowed to leave campus for lunch, though many do it everyday. Allegedly for a $5 gift certificate to a local Wendy's, I must now spend twenty days of my lunch locked in a room. The innocent victim of a squeeler. Most sadly, I was the only person in my car that was reported (four others remain unscathed). On a lighter note, the detention has been put off for four weeks because it is full of other kids that were squeeled upon.

    sympathize with me people,

  19. Re:we need to take up a collection on Build Your Own Set Top Box · · Score: 1

    i can't speak for the other languages, but for spanish you would most likely use "tu" rather than "usted," changing the "es" to "eres." you also would drop the "un" unless you are modifying "idiota." Now, "idiota" probably wouldn't be the best word, but we won't get into that

  20. NAS on Information Poisoning · · Score: 1

    now how long before we get NAS (ie johnny pneumonic and neuromancer) and start living william gibsonesque lives?

  21. SI on Monolith Appears In Seattle · · Score: 1

  22. voltaire on Nazis on Napster · · Score: 1

    "i may not like what you have to say, but i'll defend, to the death, your right to say it."

    voltaire is my role model. his caustic pen and cunning wit have helped me through the monotony of public high school.

  23. Re:You make me ill... on Bone Marrow Can Grow New Brain Cells · · Score: 1
