  1. Re:Translation on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 1

    How is Google punishing anyone? All they're doing is now choosing to follow their own rules.

    Bad Google *slaps self*

  2. Fanboys on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 2

    Though the existence of the cloaked pages at all is somewhat questionable, at least Google has responded with integrity and consistency.

    Sounds like the fanboys aro out in force again, but this time on the main page.

    Google is God, whos with me?

  3. Re:Google devotion on Google Adds News Personalization · · Score: 1

    BLASPHEMERS! How dare you challenge your God Google! Burn in the fires of HELL!

  4. Re:This dpesn't seem likely on Open Source Tax Products? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I doubt that anyone finds doing stuff like that fun. At least TurboTax has people who are paid to read tax law, it removes some of the pain from their jobs and there is the incentive to not mess up otherwise they loose it. [their jobs].

    Even if there was an OSS product, I dot know if I would trust it, comercial software is still better in some cases, and this is one of them. If you get audited by the IRS/CCRA and it was because of the software, who are you going to sue? sourceforge? freshmeat? not likely.

    Thats my 2c.

  5. Yes, in fact on Has P2P Influenced Your Music Tastes? · · Score: 1

    I do. Normally, someone with vastly superior music taste to myself will recomend to me a band, and I shall go and download a whole bunch of songs from them. Next, I woll procede to buy albums from them if I like it. Mostly bands that most people have never heard of in their lives, but still.

    The most recent band to do that to me was The Weakerthans.

  6. A Pong Paddle on Mario and Link Get Their Stars On the Walk of Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    How would they get the pong paddle as a picture on the star? I mean, a vertical pipe?

  7. Re:It really depends... on Best Format for Archive Distribution? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Winrar can open tar.gz files

  8. Re:Change of Venue Requested on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    Posts like this make me realize that /. needs a "Score: -1, Bad Pun" rating.

  9. Re:Write Only Memory on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    Modded as iformative? thats at least +3 funny

  10. Re:Only one thing though... on Windows 2003 and XP SP2 Vulnerable To LAND Attack · · Score: 1

    The last time I was at an airport the terminal screens had the BSOD on them. Airports use home computers on home OS's.

  11. Re:Gnome Optimization on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 1

    I dont know, but ill let you know in 9 days, besides, I rocognized a legit site on the list of ones it rotates through (www.swirve.com).

  12. Re:Slow news day? on Debris is Shuttle's Biggest Threat · · Score: 1

    I remember learing about this at least 5 years ago in science class. This is why the space shuttle rotates backwards around the earth, not forwards as it used to.

  13. Re:Gnome Optimization on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 1

    As we all know, the red hat is not a fedora.

  14. Re:why? on Firefox-Based Netscape 8 Beta Goes Live · · Score: 1

    If I am not mistaken, the article said that the the browser comes with trusted sites it it already, and that AOL auto updates this list to protect against pishing.

  15. Re:why? on Firefox-Based Netscape 8 Beta Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I knew that, but its updated from AOL, and AOL might sell those trusted sites.

  16. Re:Google knows all on Webcam Jigsaw Solver in 200 Lines of Python · · Score: 1

    And all this time I thought Google was god cause it could tell what I really meant

  17. Re:why? on Firefox-Based Netscape 8 Beta Goes Live · · Score: 1

    How much does it cost to buy a "trusted site" rating? After all, AOL wants money, so can "Click yes to install Inc." buy a trusted rating?

  18. Re:What about quality ? on Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge · · Score: 1

    He happens to get paid to do that...

    Though it is a fantastic strip, funny, well drawn, etc. It reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes (though Bill Watterson had a hard time with even getting the 5x daily + Sunday out).

  19. At the risk of sounding like a moron on DC Power distribution - Nix the Transformers? · · Score: 1

    Here is my 2c worth.

    Buy a bunch of little extension chords (or shornten them yourself). You take your chord, plug one device in on either side of the end, and the other end into the wall/powerbar. You can now hide the worts in a big clump out of sight, and can also free up space in your power bars.

    Basically, you want to just move the plug onto a smaller footprint, so, extend the plug a bit

    |device|----wire----|wort|---minichord---|powerb ar |

    hope that helps

  20. NFL? on Ubisoft to Enter the Sports Gaming Market · · Score: 1

    Did not EA sign an exclusive deal with the NFL meaning that there will be no Ubisoft NFL game? Unless they mean NFL Europe, like anyone cares about the NFL:E league, though EA probably has that locked down too.

  21. Re:What about on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Only an hour? Couldn't have been that bad then. I Spent 7! hours fixing a windows XP system that had collected spyware for months just from having cable internet and using IE. She had installed nothing at all in months, this was all stuff that made it through the windows sp2 "firewall", spybot's immunize, and spyware blasters activeX.

    Half ot that was user stupidity, but most was just windows crappieness (auto updates were enabled too)

  22. Re:I'm curious about game balance, has anyone play on Red Orchestra Team Interviewed · · Score: 1

    If you had RTFA you would have noticed this:

    "The main inspiration in creation of Red Orchestra is realism, but realism without sacrificing gameplay."

  23. Re:Give Inmates Skills on All Games Banned From MO Prisons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Without video games and TV, maybe inmates will have to resort to... reading.

    To this example, one of the greatest short story writers of all time, O. Henry was imrpisoned, he read almost constantly. I dont think that a video games in prison will help develop the next O. Henry, unless you count memorizing the books of text in Morrowind to be reading.

  24. Re:emo on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    omg, like noone like so totally omg uses the whole like actual name of LiveJournal to like omg describe it. Its just lj

  25. Cool on MIT Researchers Grow Beating Heart Tissue · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It certainly has a lot of "wow" factor to it. But it will probably not be ready for humans for several years. When they start doing things like this with human hearts start getting excited. After all, while rats are similar to humans in that they are mammals, its not like you can use rat heart cells in humans, at least, and have it work well.
