  1. Re:So much for pirate ethics on How Piracy Affected the Launch of Demigod · · Score: 4, Funny

    Eventually, they will stop playing. Just wait!

  2. Re:I have a feeling.... on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    I don't just 'say' it. A while ago, none of my colleagues used Linux (i'm working in IT).
    Now, that Vista is looming, all of them use (or tried) Linux.
    Maybe not an 'explosion' among the Joe Sixpack public, but most people i know are nerds too :D
    Also, this is the first time, my government said they will support FOSS in government contracts.
    (See the reasons why Ballmer was thrown an egg in his face a while ago in Hungary).
    I use Windows (XP) only to play games, i believe i can give up playing games if they become Vista (Win 7 or whatever) only.

  3. Re:Away! Into our submarine! on Using Net Proxies Will Lead To Harsher Sentences · · Score: 1

    Yes, practicing criminals surely sell their dirtied laptops dirt cheap on eBay.

  4. Re:I have a feeling.... on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Correct.
    I commend Microsoft for doing an OS which no one uses (therefore it is the safest).
    It is also a reason for wider Linux adoption (which is a very positive thing).
    So, we all owe a big thanks to their developers for creating such a wonderful OS.

  5. Re:Update So much for ass sass ination... on Flying Micro-Robot Takes Off · · Score: 1

    Magnets are expensive, simply make the bottom of the elevator let loose.

  6. Re:other potential things on Nine Words From Science Which Originated In Science Fiction · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nah, portals exist in fantasy too.

  7. No,he is very clever :) on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    By the end of the projected total nuclear ban, there will be much stronger weapons than nuclear. Why stick to some outdated weapons?

  8. Re:2nd Paragraph. on Attempting To Reframe "KDE Vs. GNOME" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    >Incidentally, the fact that Windows is the most widely used OS, suggests that backward compatibility matters.

    No, lock-in, monopoly and inertia what matters.
    If you have those, you can force anything on your customers.

  9. My guess on NVIDIA Countersues Intel Over License Conflict · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He did it on purpose.
    INTC is not the same as Intel.
    INTC a greedy bunch of shareholders.
    Intel is a company with great products.

  10. hmm on Mythbusters Accidentally Bust Windows In Nearby Town · · Score: 2

    Here, if i accidentally blow out three windows with 500 pounds of ammonium nitrate i would be labeled and handled as a terrorist.
    Even if i volunteer to repair all damage.
    Come think of it, i would be handled as a terrorist there too...

  11. Re:At least this is better than the legal system on AT&T Has Begun Issuing RIAA Takedown Notices · · Score: 1

    Haha, so avoiding the 'legal' system and taking a curve around it, makes it more 'legal'?
    If they use the same arguably 'illegal' methods on determining their victims, this is probably even more 'illegal' than before.
    This just removes any 'legal' supervision and keeps all the 'illegal' parts (from what we know).

  12. Re:GREAT! on .CA Registrar Trying To Preempt Conficker · · Score: 1

    Well, it could be changed just as easily.
    If you already own a control server, you can also 'update' your zombies.
    By telling that they will monitor the .ca domain, the controller can easily avoid hitting the previously predicted names, and either avoid .ca (very easy), or generate new names.

  13. Re:Colbert trumps Scientology; everyone wins. on Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All scams and/or religions started with but a few people believing them.

    Are you sure, Coward?

    Or you say it won't be released under ms-pl?

  15. A real milestone on It's Not the 15th Birthday of Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe Linus' birthday would be a clear cut milestone?

  16. Re:thats nice on Solar Panels Reach $1 a Watt · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wow, one pound on the whole Earth?
    That's pretty much not existent.

  17. Re:Hypocrisy as the norm... on French President Busted For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    Our planet would be very empty suddenly.

  18. Re:Count me... on Is Flash Really On 99% of Net Devices? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well, i hate flash as website menu and eyecandy.
    But some flash games are really nice.
    If you never played ANY flash game, you miss something.
    There are so many different games, one might be good for you.

  19. Why? on Ballmer Pleads For Openness To Compete With Apple · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    M$ didn't make the PC - it was made by IBM.
    iPhone was made by Apple.
    Fatty Steve should first meditate about how they screwed the PC market.
    So, before iPhone is opened in any way for them, they should get the fuck out of their PC monopoly.

  20. Re:I saw this in a B movie on the sci-fi channel. on DARPA Creates Remote Controlled Insects · · Score: 3, Funny

    I saw a bugged cockroach in Fifth Element too.
    I hope one day they will be able to reconstruct a person from fragment DNA too :)

  21. Re:Next time . . . on Mars Winds Clean Spirit's Solar Panels Again · · Score: 1

    What about adding panels on both sides, and if it gets dusty, rotate it by 180 degrees.

  22. Re:3 months for satire? on Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More · · Score: 1

    Philadelphia is geographically far from China.

  23. Nice on Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More · · Score: 1

    We are just one step from similar judges sending people to slave camps and another to a soylent green processing plant.

  24. fourth option on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    Put the poison directly on the cable.
    If they eat it --> good, that was their last dinner.
    If they don't eat it --> good, your cables are protected.

    Just don't lick the cable!
