  1. Re:You Forgot to Mention the California Class Acti on Slashback: OpenDocument, Intelligent Design, More DRM · · Score: 1

    I would hope Sony recalls these (I would call them infected) CDs and replaces them with a clean copy for free. Maybe Sony could even pay for someone to come over to the customer's house and manually remove the rootkit Sony so generously installed for you. Now THAT would be justice.

  2. Re:So far as open-ended goes... on Grand Theft Auto Retrospective · · Score: 1
    In the Maxis games you never were just one person, making one city Hell On Earth.

    I dunno about that... thanks to Sim City I've been the mayor of several "Hell On Earth" cities. Now if you would excuse me, I have to raise the taxes to 15% and set some more buildings on fire.

  3. Re:To the sarcastic Americans on Significant FBI Abuses of the Patriot Act · · Score: 2, Interesting

    People complain about government all the time, but the truth is, things really aren't all that bad... yet.

    Things are eventually going to get worse, and it's gonna take another Rosa Parks (R.I.P.) to bring these wrongs lots of attention, and it's going to take some new, strong leaders to guide those of us who are just complaining to get up and actually make a difference. There isn't enough momentum to really "do" anything. We feel powerless and our efforts go to waste without any real leadership to guide us.

    When it comes time for a change, it'll happen and those who want to make a difference will know what to do and will start acting. Until then, we'll just keep on complaining. :)

  4. Re:All of a sudden on Zotob Worm Hits CNN and Goes Global · · Score: 1

    The concept of a computer virus has been around a lot longer than the concept of a computer worm, so it's only natural people commonly make this mistake, myself included sometimes. But really, it's not that big of a deal to get upset over.

    You have me figured out! Damn you, Google!

    That's amazing! I was able to find my phone number in pi. Check it out.

    'As they say, you learn more about a man from his enemies than his friends.'

    Unfortunately, enemies often are convinced of the truth of half truths, so they are not good sources of information.

    I agree. But I think what he means is that you'll get more of the truth when talking to a former member of the LDS church than an active one. I think there are two reasons for that. Reason number one is that there are no worries. It's like a retired politician saying everything he ever wanted to, but didn't before in fear of not being re-elected. The second reason is that many opposers (certainly not all, however) typically spend a great deal of time forming opinions and even more time doing the research to back it up.

    But it's always good to get as many sides as you can. I'm glad to see Mormons who are supportive of their religion throwing in their two cents.

  8. Re:Metric porn measurements on Samsung Unveils 82 Inch LCD · · Score: 1

    82cm is about 32 inches. So yeah, I definitely would say a penis that large qualifies as a "meater". ;)

  9. Re:Will this defeat the marker DRM exploit? on Coating Promises Scratch-Proof CDs, DVDs, LCDs · · Score: 1

    I thought the shift key defeated copy protection. ;)
