  1. Re:Yeah, right. on PDD, Asperger, and Geek Syndrome? · · Score: 1

    Modern medicine has yet to define what pain (or the general cause of) is.

    The FDA is bankrolled by pharmaceutical companies.

    Think about that before you pass judgment on other solutions. They neither know what in fact they are treating, nor do they care.

  2. The parent post is so true. on Digging For Truth Online Is Up To You · · Score: 1

    And redundant.

  3. Re:Unloadable kernel modules are obsolete now? on LKM NVidia Drivers Now Available For NetBSD · · Score: 1

    I call as I see em.

  4. Re:I, too on Speed of Gravity Experiment Challenged · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If there is a difference, the error was already recorded as a specific force constant. Obviously if a body is moving away the average force over a second is going to be less than if it sits still.

    So we already recorded the difference without taking the speed of gravity into account. Our values are good to an extent, they fail where our theory is wrong.

  5. Unloadable kernel modules are obsolete now? on LKM NVidia Drivers Now Available For NetBSD · · Score: 1

    Sorry I'm in redundancy nazi mode now. Redundancy is most common cause of pointless acronyms.

  6. All the whining by parents = murderous little brat on Regulate Your Kids' Gaming With Time Scout · · Score: 1

    No one here is whining about the tool you moron.
    They're whining about 1) the uselessness (some of us complaining are parents) and 2) the very real rise in parental irresponsibility (my 8 year old was almost killed by a neighbor's brat throwing a metal bar at him).

    And 1 more thing, the tool makers aren't honest. Since when is every college website a porn site? Since they installed CyberPatrol.

    Censorware won't let you near any discussion of
    censorware, winter being "hard on" cars, or www.janehan"cock".com.

    There, I said it. You can stick your head back in the sand now.

  7. Metallica provided something worth the price on Slashback: Sorveteria, Rockets, Anger · · Score: 1

    St. Anger quality aside (it's the most unpolished stuff I've ever heard, enjoyable nonetheless). they include a DVD of their rehearsals and the code for the site, which I expect will grow.

    We might want information to be free, but I don't think every artist has reached that pinnacle of Grateful Deadness yet.

    However, I think it was a good response to the lawsuit that will force the RIAA to pay for price fixing.

    Give us something worth the price.

    I'd say Metallica did just that.

  8. Only the learning disabled see TV as education on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    Might want to have a talk with Johnny about violence not with your cable company.

  9. Financial consultant job:Behavioral researchers... on Logic vs. Emotion in Decision-Making · · Score: 1

    need not apply. They're as capable as Commodore Inc. I only say that because they're still considering the results as new info.

    If there was an offer to use the Alpha processor in an Amiga in the early days or to just stay with Motorola's 68000, which would you choose? ...

    Thought so, but then you're not C Inc.

  10. Re:Automated patches for pirated copies? on Microsoft Plans An Overhaul For Patch System · · Score: 1

    Blowing up all the portable toilets at a free town commons concert isn't going to make those people go to a venue that charges more like a stadium.

    The pirate culture is totally different. They're not that bad anyway since the majority of pirate sites are adwhores, unreliable, and clones of each other. Very few of the rest ever use the software so they're not actually getting any direct benefit. Extremely few ever sell CDs of pirated software. Granted the culture for game pirates is probably the antithesis of application pirates.

    So no those who get infected will not buy the software.

  11. Said portion of said mind in sad state on Online Auction Industry In A State Of Limbo · · Score: 1

    The patent document uses the word said so many times to make even the mother of all trolls blush. It's so muddled that I suspect the lamest of all lameness filters on /. could catch it.

    When will we start rejecting technical documents that would keep even the best lawyers up into the wee hours?

    Why not hire communication capable technical writers as patent examiners instead of the morons that fill those spots?

  13. Simple innovations on Boeing Readying Fuel-Cell Aircraft For Tests · · Score: 4, Funny

    No it's the sudden stop.

    The safer you are the longer it takes to come down. Which means you are not really safe on the ground for a longer time.

    So I propose we install rocket boosters in parachutes that bring people down quickly to the a certain point then divert that energy to the horizontal plane reducing the vertical velocity vector to zero. At that height we let the parachute go and people can quickly get to the ground safely. Just watch out for that tree.

  14. Re:One of the reasons I think people hated Wesley: on Dancing Barefoot · · Score: 1

    They hated him because he was such a kiss ass even when he was defiant. It made everyone think that geeks his age had no sense of reality or balls.

    Why does that sound like they're getting rid of crapware so they can use real tools for developing vapourware?

  18. Needy kids, what they need... on Low Resource Distro and Window Manager for Kids? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The computer is fast becoming the replacement of the TV. There's no shame in having a small monitor since the computer can do things where as the TV just sort of sits there.

    Suggestion:
    Create a KidsComp spec and software to build to it. Just giving a kid a computer is just as bad as sitting them in from of Looney Tunes.

    Create a KidsTools spec so that kids can learn about computer technology not just play games. For Gaming, board games, consoles, and outdoor sports outshine the computer market, especially when we're talking about old machines.

    Create a ParentsTech magazine so that parents don't start screaming when the kid opens up a web page at localhost, when they told Computers 4 Kids that under no circumstances would they get the machine if it had Internet access. And then of course the parents go out into the world trying to sue Localhost.com whom they believe is a division of Apache Inc. I can see it now, Dad: "Get them Indians off that computer now, missy."

  19. How is this "making Windows better"? on Microsoft's Athens PC · · Score: 1

    You don't see people designing hardware specifically for Linux?

    How does design a computer specifically for an OS make the OS better?

    Whether it makes the overall PC + OS combination better, that's to be seen.

    However, you won't see me running to get one. Designing a computer for a certain OS instead of fixing the OS is a cop-out.

  20. Damn, it would have been fun to see... on SARS Researcher Files Preemptive Patent Application · · Score: 0

    the world tear a greedy one a new one.

    There's only so much shady stuff that passes under the radar when everyone is danger.

    I say let them try to patent, see what ensues.

    What a missed opportunity!

  21. So any easter eggs like the original? on Metroid Prime Done Quick · · Score: 1

    Fuck it. I only found out about the easter egg in the original, years after it came out.

  25. Re:Did you look in your shoes? on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1

    You missed the pun on the ubiquitous Anon Cowa.
    That's the only reason I was question the "Originality" since anyone can be an Anon Cowa.

    And someone who used to be a regular of said IRC channel did in fact post something like that.

    It reminded me of the old days, so I was curious.
