  1. Re:So let's see if I got this straight... on US Reneges On SWIFT Agreement · · Score: 1

    Just wanting to be sure I know where things stand.

    We have more bombs than you do.

    but are you smart enough to know how to use them? the US is well known for "friendly fire".
    and p.s most of the bombs dont work :p

  2. Re:they should buy the rights to SGA, SG1 and SGU on Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly · · Score: 1

    why? because SGA and SG1 have hundreds of episodes, SGU died as it didnt follow the SG mantra.
    Firefly on the other hand had SG1 potential but was cut short due to incompetency, with only 10 episodes (i think) it had gotten a huge following, with a movie aswell... this plainly shows there is a HUGE demand for it, buying the rights to this show would be a winner, just get in there before someone makes a try hard copy and ruins it for everyone.

  3. Re:Huh. on GeoHot Asks For Donations To Fight Sony · · Score: 1

    the question i would ask, what consitutes a trade secret in a commercial electronic device using mathematic algorithms to protect content? whats the secret? is it patented?

  4. Retreive Winning Cells on See How Tough Your Immune System is With "Blood Wars" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    i wonder if you can retrieve the ultimate winner cells (your cells) and it will boost your immune system? where is the database stored so the cells know which foreign cells to go after, is it the white cells itself or a chemical reaction?

  5. Re:My question is... on RIAA, MPAA Recruit MasterCard As Internet Police · · Score: 1

    true, they should not be interfering with legitimate transactions unless indicated by the government not to do so due to illegal activity, unfortunately in America the gov has gotten out of control and is trying to control everything, business must obey the gov else they will be shut down (great democratic process there).
    Unless the BoA has a document stating its required to stop transactions, its interfering with a legitimate transaction and should be accountable as wire fraud (deny of funds).

  6. Re:My question is... on RIAA, MPAA Recruit MasterCard As Internet Police · · Score: 1

    actually its not YOUR money, your getting credit for a purchase, which you then have to pay (if its a credit, not a debit card). so they CAN do this but legally its grey area, but does open up doors if they start selectively denying transactions, more people will move to other credit providers or be sued for denying a legitimate transaction.... we shall see

  7. Re:Why not just use Polymer notes? on Banknotes Go Electronic To Outwit Counterfeiters · · Score: 2

    they actually did a trial run in the US using 'our' notes, the polymer ones, AKA Securency.
    a huge portion of people using the notes didn't like the way they felt, therefore the stopped using them. it wasn't because there were sturdier and easier to distinguish (colour coded)
    Americans are very stubborn and slow to take things up, so don't expect too many changed with their currency, i bet they would invest billions in making their money feel the same but change everything else, great 'money management' there.

    sexy information and the trusted wikipedia

  10. Re:What this shows us on The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords · · Score: 1

    all the forums and blogs that require me to register i just create a general user account, and simple password, i dont care if it gets hacked cause all i used it for were comments, being forced to register just to post a comment these days is pointless... required to register on a blog i'm only going to post once... yeah waste of my time and reduces people posting cause they cant be stuffed registering

  11. Re:Okay that's some funny shit on Anonymous Now Attacking Corporate Fax Machines · · Score: 3, Informative

    pointless
    since most of the major corporations have moved from hardcopy faxes to digital ones, easier to handle, less waste.
    i would assume since Amazon...paypal are large enough and have enough corporate structure (rules) that they would have moved to digital faxes, expecially to fulfil their archive responsibilities

  12. FireFox has a Do Not Track Addon on Microsoft Adds 'Do Not Track' Option For IE9 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I use Ghostery and Adblock Plus to stop all my tracking and doesnt slow me down one bit, in fact not having to load all those ads speeds up your browsing.
    If websites wanted to make money from advertising DO IT FROM YOUR OWN SITE and dont take the cheap way out, and people relying on generic advertising for an income better get some business sense and stop complaining your not making any money.

  13. Re:A correction, if I may. on Australian Telstra Monopoly Dead · · Score: 2, Informative

    from what i've heard the greens and others wants a law preventing this, i hear its going through its motions, this will prevent one party from selling it off like it did with telstra. it had to ask parliament for permission.

  14. Re:Now maybe we can get some decent internet limit on Australian Telstra Monopoly Dead · · Score: 1

    i'm with TPG and i have unlimited internet, no caps for $75/mo :p

  17. Re:I Wont Travel to the USA because due to Privacy on British Airways Chief Slams US Security Requests · · Score: 1

    I agree, i try to avoid US from all my travel plans.

    in fact if you own your own jet you still have to go through the security procedures, yeah like i would blow up my own plane... its ridiculous.

    stop bitching and moaning about another grab for cash... blame someone, blame Avatar for another re-release so shortly after it was shown.
    people will still see it cause its star wars, cause you get to re-watch it on the big screen like it was originally shown and feel immersed.
