  1. Re:Not recommended?!?!? on An Open Source Guide For The Average PC User · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, because there are so many great open source games out there.

  2. Not surprising at all. on The Tech Used to Catch Vegas Cheats · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let's face it, their goal is to stop people from cheating. Catching people that cheat is one part. Convincing the rest that cheating is a bad idea is the other. It's a deterrant.

  3. Re:The question is why do they exist? on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    A large part of the criteria seems to be lack of empathy or concern for the effects on others. Surely desensitization and environmental conditioning could play a large part in these traits.

  4. My boss isn't but I appear to be. on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    ...explains a lot, actually.

  5. Re:Lead chip design? on AMD Lures IBM Veteran to Lead Chip Design · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'll assume that this was a serious post and point out that in this context, lead is a verb.

  6. To Summarize: on PHP 5 Objects, Patterns and Practice · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...blah blah blah. Who cares.

  7. These dudes all have smart sounding names. on One Hundred Years of E=MC2 · · Score: 1

    You don't usually hear of a genius physicist named "Chuck Miller"...

  8. Re:Did you read the article summary? on Wi-Fi Times Sixteen · · Score: 1

    Yes, did you read the article? GP is referring to the number of APs that won't have to be plugged in.

  9. Firefox stability varies on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 1

    I use FF exclusively, whenever possible. At home I don't have a problem with it (on 3 PCs) but the install I have at work crashes randomly every hour or so. I suspect that it's a Flash issue (I run flashblock across all installs). My point is this: If my first experience with FF had been the same as my PC at work I would have uninstalled and left FF behind long ago, regardless of how good it really is for others.

  10. Lost its case, huh? on Google Loses AdWords Case · · Score: 5, Funny

    Should have had a Case Else.

  11. Business as usual. on Real Worried About Apple Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I guess what Real will have to decide is whether potential sales will be worth the risk of a lawsuit. It's a risk/reward situation, just like any other business decision.

  12. Re:Its just a minor delay on Mars Orbiter Launch Delayed · · Score: 2, Funny

    ESL, I hope.

  13. Favorite quote from article: on Do We Really Need Space Weapons? · · Score: 1

    Objects traveling in low Earth orbit--even those as small as marble or grains of sand--are traveling at a speed equivalent to a 1-ton safe being dropped from a five-story building

    Wind resistance aside, wouldn't that be the same speed as a marble or grain of sand dropped from a 5-story building?

  14. The problem is... on Do We Really Need Space Weapons? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who is going to keep these weapons safe? These will have to be remotely fired, and with the state of system security these days I don't trust the government to keep their satellite weapons under control.

  15. Cool, but... on Open Source Replacing Books in Kenyan Schools · · Score: 1

    ...you can't eat a Pocket PC.

    Well, I guess you could...

  16. Re:Wow on Original Lightsaber Goes For 3x Expectations · · Score: 1

    Dick.

  17. True eBay security is... on An Inside Look at eBay Security · · Score: 1

    writing in italics, so you know it's really me.

  18. ...even Internet Explorer will still work... on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hmmm. Define "work"...

  19. Hummer went 200 miles without a problem... on DARPA Grand Challenge A Real Race At Last? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was it refueled on the fly?

  20. Screenshots on Small but Mighty:The Bricolage Story · · Score: 2, Informative
  21. Bricolage Defined. on Small but Mighty:The Bricolage Story · · Score: 1, Interesting
  22. And iPods do the same thing. on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    Take a look sometime. iTunes changes the filename and distributes your mp3s across hundreds of folders. Try dropping some mp3 files directly into one of the folders. The iPod won't even find them.

  23. Re:I swear by my Hauppauge on Hardware MPEG2 TV Tuners Compared · · Score: 1

    I'm running a Hauppauge 250 as well, using GB-PVR onto striped 160 gig SATA. Clearer than watching it on TV.

  24. Huge DNA repository... on Global DNA Project to Study Human Ancestry · · Score: 0

    Hmmm. No thanks.

  25. What's wrong with this sentence? on Loophole found in Internet Domain Naming · · Score: 1

    (from here.)

    Discussions continue among ICANN Board and Staff regarding the evaluation of five additional proposed sponsored Top Level Domains (sTLDs): .ASIA, .MAIL, .TEL, .TEL, & .XXX.
