  1. Re:Goldilocks? on More on the Waterworld Goldilocks Planet · · Score: 1

    You will instantly sink in the water, but if you manage to come up to the surface, your inhalating of the helium atmosphere will make you sound funny and dead.

  2. But... on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 3, Funny

    But Ballmer is damn fat as well. Why stop at games? They should deny access to all services for fat people, starting with HIM.

  3. Re:not surprising on DRM Flub Prevented 3D Showings of Avatar In Germany · · Score: 1

    Sure it is. It makes the film two components.
    If something is made up from several components, and it is 'assembled' on site.
    Then all components must be on site in time.
    The more components the more chance of failure to deliver.
    Directly comes from this DRM model.

  4. Call me a cynic on CRIA Faces $60 Billion Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I doubt they will pay. Only the small men pay.

  5. Re:Yes... on Scientology Charged With Slavery, Human Trafficking · · Score: 1

    I asked about the difference between "Cult" and "Religion".
    Scientology is not a religion, nor a cult. It is a tax evasion scheme.
    So, while your note is correct, your answer implies i am not correct.
    Christianity started as a cult, grew into religion.
    Mostly by the actions of Constantine I who saw the opportunity in it.

  6. Re:Yes... on Scientology Charged With Slavery, Human Trafficking · · Score: 1

    What exactly is the difference, other than size?

  7. release it! on Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is an important milestone in the Linux to the Desktop campaign.
    Without a "healthy malware ecosystem", Linux isn't mature enough to be called a desktop operation system.
    Think about the AV industry!

  8. Re:No collisions yet, right? on LHC Reaches Over One Trillion Electron Volts · · Score: 1

    Nah, we just need to divert some energy into the beam deflector field.
    I mean, you don't have to move the accelerator ring, just manipulate the beam at the exit point.

  9. Re:The Vengeful crazies on Hacker McKinnon To Be Extradited To US · · Score: 1

    For the same reason criminal US citizenry is never extradited?

  10. Re:Church of Scientology on Prison Terms For Spammer Ralsky, Scientology DoS Attacker · · Score: 1

    I guess you didn't find it because if Skutnik used that text, he would be have been sued out of his skin.

  11. Re:Virus warning on New Attack Fells Internet Explorer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, it detects the code on display, not an actual exploit.
    It is crappy AV software.

  12. Re:Is it trickery? on Bing Gains 10% Marketshare · · Score: 1

    I don't like Microsoft at all, but their search engine is giving about the same results as Google.
    That isn't good enough for me to switch, though.

    The "Java virtual machine download" gives sun's site on second place.

  13. Re:Can you actually do anything useful? on Commodore 64 Runs Again On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    What programs could be written in about 38k Basic???
    And how would the non-basic version of the c64 emulator hinder you to run arbitrary machine code on it?
    It is easier to write useful code in c64 machine code.
    And what use of a c64 emulator is there if you cannot run neither basic nor machine code on it.

  14. wow, the beginning of the end on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft 7 legally contains GPL code.

    We go back to stone tablets. Wow.

  16. from Linus' viewpoint... on Microsoft Buys Teamprise, Will Ship Linux Tools · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...it is irrelevant.
    Stallman might not like it, though.
    But we are talking about Linus now.

  17. Re:Even a stopped clock is right twice a day on Bing To Use Wolfram Alpha Results · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Alpha's concept is good. It just needs more data and computing capacity.
    I'm surprised Google didn't find it before M$.

  18. Re:Sounds (somewhat) good on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    There is DRM. You cannot even continue a saved game if you started it with premium content (like Stone prisoner) enabled, unless you are connected to the Net.

    Some encounters are insanely difficult, even on Normal.
    For example, a "random" encounter with a dozen tough archers. http://daforums.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=705371&forum=135&sp=0

    There were numerous problems with the social site/game registration, patch and toolset cause serious trouble for some people. This isn't a news for games of this size, but BioWare and EA apparently are not up to the task to support this game smoothly. Information from them regarding the problems were scarce. Usually you had to decide on better informed fellow players' tips.

  19. Re:Fine? on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Scientology is not religion. It is a tax evasion scheme.
    And i'm pretty sure there are quite many people on Slashdot who follow some real faith.
    You are only partially right about this doesn't mean anything.
    It really has not much effect on Slashdot readers, as they are most likely not fell prey of this scam.
    But i'm pretty content that Europe doesn't let this scam going too far here.
    One cannot say France is intolerant to faith. As far as i know, they got all major faiths represented.
    So, i think the case had some positive effect, even if it doesn't really affect most of the Slashdotters.

    How would you DRM singing?
    Armed patrols would shoot you if they catch you humming a tune?

    If there is no game why bother downloading a game driver?

    Why do i have to install and configure noscript and adblock when i go to a site, instead of they asking me politely at first visit, if i want to see their crappy ads?
