  1. Re:Another Easter Egg I found on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    I think he meant, B-A-B-A-up-down-B-A-left-right-B-A-start. Figure out where that one is from.

  2. Re:Good or whack? on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Ignore all the /.ers who think their opinion is the ultimate one and go see it for yourself. In all honestly I loved it, and plan on seeing it a third time. It's full of action and it is engrossingly entertaining. Of course it isn't flawless and whoever expects it to be shouldn't see it because they'd just disappoint themselves. Just go in with an open mind to see a great film and you'll thoroughly enjoy it. Kudos Lucas.

  3. Re:Bush on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 2, Interesting
    You forgot about the references to Bush in the Darth Vader dialog.

    You mean, "If you aren't with me, then you're my enemy!" of course. (right before he and Obi-Wan go at it/also a Bush quotation)

  4. Re:Nothing really on Sober.P Worm Accounts for 5% of all Email Traffic · · Score: 1

    I recently had a virus that disabled the BITS service, among others (even Event Log which screwed up a bunch of stuff). It took me a while to figure out as I hadn't had a problem like that before. Sneeky virus, but yeah, I hadn't realized BITS was disabled until I went to do a Windows Update and had Microsoft tell me that BITS was disabled. I guess this goes to show you even downloads off the M$ update site uses the BITS.

  5. Bolero seen again... on Legend of Zelda: Needs A Subtitle Previewed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If anyone recalls in Ocarina of Time one of the songs you had to learn as grown-up link was the Bolero of Fire. It would transport you to the fire temple.

  6. Re:uniqueness on The Philanthropic Arm of Google · · Score: 1

    It is a word. Also, uniquity is a word. It would be refering to the unique qualities that differentiates one thing from another. There are varying degress of uniqueness (it IS a word) when looking at an object for its parts.

    Is theft a kind of fraud? Fraudulent use of stolen goods???

    Someone here is a troll and it isn't me. What was stolen? As far as I know, downloading music is only copyright infringement. When was the law changed to make it theft?

    ...I don't know...

    This is the only part of your post I agree with. You don't know.

    I think someone's been watching too much RIAA propoganda.

    And anyway, this post is hardly insightful. If you were trying to make a point you could at least research the conditions of the "Cable Act". Without that, the whole thing is pointless.

    As always, IANAL.

    I'm sure what they mean is that the logic used in math corresponds to the logic used in coding/hacking/cracking. Maybe?

  10. Re:Minimum wage? on Google Founders Cut Salaries to $1 · · Score: 1

    So you would rather a guess-and-check method rather than going at it with the best logical guess? You need theory before practice, otherwise you may end up costing more to the people you're trying to help.

  13. Re:Minimum wage? on Google Founders Cut Salaries to $1 · · Score: 1

    The point of the minimum wage is to employ people who have no useful skills whatsoever. If you expect to get paid more, learn how to do something. The more skillful someone is, theoretically, the more they should be paid for it. If you don't have any usefull skills, too bad, you deserve to be paid minimum wage.

  14. Re:Bring down the government on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    Saddam was a ruthless leader. Does that mean you can kill innocent people just to get at him? It's heartless people like you that make people suffer. And I guess you never heard the mentioning of WMDs (that would be weapons of mass destruction in case you haven't)?? Talk about my false pretenses all you want; you're only lying to yourself.

    Maybe there wouldn't be so many terrorists if the "global citizens" (typical american arrogance, assuming everyong wants their "help") stopped invaded countries under false pretenses.

    Did the Liberals scrap the GST?

    No, they didn't. People have learned to live with it. It's not so bad. We're paying off all the debt Mulroney (a conservative) piled up with the revenue.

    Decide when they'd admit to Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan AND Iraq?

    No, because they shouldn't admit soldiers to Iraq. It would just make us Canadians a possible target and it would lose Canadian lives for a pointless cause posed by witchhunters (eg. Bush) in the states. Why would we want to follow in their idiocy?

  17. Re:The NDP isn't in power. on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1
    That scandal is a media farce. Much more money was wasted on the gun registry program, which does nothing. The media is just blowing this all out of scale.

    They should focus on something that actually has some relevance to our lives. I have no idea what Quebec is p*ssed about. They have no reason to be. They ended up with a bunch of money into their economy and got to stay a part of Canada.

  18. Re:I'm downloading the petition now. on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    Those channels are banned because Canada wishes to keep it's culture somewhat separate from the US. It's to protect our sovereignty from a valid threat that is the United States of America. It's such an overwhelming source of media information that these guards (censors if you will) are put in place so as to keep Canada as Canada.

    $1 million is pocket change to a gov.

    I have many pennies, nickles and dimes in my pockets. It doesn't mean I'll go and buy a bunch of penny candies just because that's what they cost. I'd be more likely to put them in a jug and save them up just like a government should. Or have people forgotten that a penny saved is a penny earned?

    Up to a point a parent must control what their children view, but as soon as they begin to choose an identity for themselves, I think that is the point when censoring them from non-traumatizing information should cease.
