  1. Re:Restriction of Freedom for China is Freedom its on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that Funny is what I'm thinking of when I read that post. Maybe, (Score:5, (Accurate) Dire Predictions of the Future)?

  2. Re:Is this true? on eXeem Lite Public Beta Released · · Score: 1

    No, trust me, every version of eXeem has Cydoor in it. And are you saying that you downloaded the lite version of it? Or the version off of the eXeem website?

  3. If it wasn't dead already... on Phrack E-zine Comes To An End · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems to have been killed now...CONGRATULATIONS, you've slashdotted the body into its grave!

  4. Re:Well... on Exeem Open Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Hey! WinMX is NOT long lost, you can find almost anything you need there (if it's a song of course), and I use it regularly.

  5. Re:Reminds me of several Stephen Baxter novels on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1

    Are you thinking about his novel Ring? Just bought it and read it (again), very good book. A wormhole through time sounds like a good idea to me...

  6. Re:what's going on with Gillian on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    Don't like her with the blonde hair, but since she's probably the one that got me turned onto redheads... But if you take a look at the first page of Google Image results, well, I think if they bring THAT Scully back, everything will be all right in my world.

  7. Re:Boo on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    Let me guess...Farscape fan?

    (Please note, I do like Farscape, but I LOVE The X-Files)

  8. Wish... on MyDoom Strikes Again · · Score: 1

    I wish enough people had learned the first time through.... Sooner or later, enough people are going ot get pissed off that something FINALLY gets done.

  9. Re:What is the Point? on Introducing Asteroid 2004 MN4 · · Score: 0

    It's a problem of motivating people to non-immediate problems. Like environmental issues, these are not things that engage us now. OTOH terrorism and SARS puts people in an acute panic. With something like asteroids, environmental damage people have to start working on problems now even though there appears to be no good reason to do so.

    For an interesting read about something like this, I suggest The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Although the impact is a side note in the book, it does mention the apathetic view of the people when the realize that everything is going to end in X years.

  10. Re:Equates Linux with Cheap?? on Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire · · Score: 0

    So...its all just an evil plot by Micro$shit?

  11. Re:Which would work great, except... on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    What are they going to try next? Snooping on people's personal net connections at home?

    Say goodnight to your telephone....

  12. I am a high school student (too) on What Interests High-School Students? · · Score: 1

    Just have a couple fighting robots, then show they can be done for other stuff, etc, and you're guaranteed to garner interest IF it is promoted right. (Link up with the school's student council to get them to promote it.

    Sorry, but playing with a calculator won't appeal to that many people.


    I fully agree with this. That simple, and from reading a few posts below, someone else said as well, that if you start something like a robotics club up, people will join. I personally would love to have a robotics club (team, whatever) in my school. The most that we have right now is a small group of people who play Doom Friday afternoons (with gore turned OFF), and that's only if the sysadmin decides to show up. And although electrically charged harpoons aren't exactly "legal" in actual tournament competition, I'd still love to build a bot that has some, and turn it loose on some of my teachers. But that's just me.

  13. Re:Push on Is RSS Doomed by Popularity? · · Score: 1

    There seem to be lots of people who freak out way to quickly about a few bytes. RSS sends to unnecessary data, but if you've configured things correctly, it's much smaller than lots of other things we do on our networks...

    Like...downloading porn?

  14. Re:adult consent on How to Fix U.S. Patents · · Score: 1

    Or bartenders who serve alcoholics, for that matter? Friend?

  15. Another Day, Another Page on Too Many Computers Hurt Learning · · Score: 1

    ...That I can't let my parents see. Great, juusst GREAT.

  16. Re:MPAA has obsessive-compulsive disorder on MPAA Looks to Sniff Internet2 Traffic for Sharers · · Score: 1

    It will probably just fade as embarrassment when the MPAA actually examines the real numbers involved and comes to its senses. Isn't this what people said about a certain war?

  17. Re:I'd be careful... on Excel Registered as Trademark, 19 Years Late · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and it comes with shit already attached to it.
