  1. Re:waves? on Harnessing Vertical Sea Temperature Gradient · · Score: 2

    I keep reading harness as harass for some odd reason.

    "Harassing Vertical Sea Temperature Gradient"
    "Why not just harness the wave enery?"

    Yeah check out those nice smooth bumps! It sure does make me wet...

  2. Re:Depends on your timezone... right? on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 1

    No.

    The time is shifted, not the amount of time it takes to rotate through a timezone. Your comment basically made no sense. :P

    Lots of songs have separate tracks playing on each side, but I also noticed this...?

  4. Re:Typical Americano-Centric post on Podcasting Censored by Government · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It is not and should not be left to the government to decide our country's morals or values unless it is necessary in order to secure itself or its citizens. I cannot see how disallowing people (not necessarily whites) to publically slur others would have ended segregation sooner or protect citizens. Hate crimes would still be commited. Stopping the prejudice would be more effective than limiting its exposure.

    Perhaps people that care about such issues have better sources or prefer discussion over reading biased news reports.

    VERY, VERY NICE.

    I've been tired of having to use AIM Express, a Java client, on computers that do not have a desktop AIM client. It gets even worse when Java is not installed.

    This website is amazing. Even the GUI looks pretty. :)

  7. Re:Software Piracy Rate? on Software Industry Shifting Piracy Strategy · · Score: 1

    Just because you can apply an analogy to a situation does't mean that it'll be true. In your case my post agrees.

  8. Re:A better version of the answer :) on New Ocean being Formed in Africa · · Score: 1

    Is it really necessary to post that more than once, or are you just attempting to get better karma?

  9. Re:simpy on Yahoo! Buys del.icio.us · · Score: 1

    I occasionally upload my bookmarks file to my personal server, to access at multiple locations. Lately I've realized that I tend to bookmark sites that I rarely ever visit again, so even the bookmarks I have I probably don't need at another place anyway.

  10. Re:I agree, too! on Bloggers create Press Plagiarist Of The Year Award · · Score: 1

    Because its parent was the one that copied it from the blog linked in the summary. Its child was just sort of adding another iteration.

  11. Re:overhead on Firefox 3D Canvas FPS Engine · · Score: 1

    I have a 1.67 GHz Athlon XP 2000+ and 512 MB of RAM, and it runs fine.

    2 years old is not old for a computer. I've been able to run every game I've had, with minor tweaking, and they still look good.

    Still, I don't see the point of having a Firefox-only "FPS" on a website. Flash and Java are much better suited for jobs like this. I suppose it's only to test the capabilities of the code and browser, so no complaints from me.

  12. Re:People who live in cramped quarters on Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String · · Score: 1

    Duck tape is named after what the army used to seal ammo boxes, making it waterproof like a duck, so the name would be right. Later the tape was used for sealing ducts. Both are etymologically correct. However, there are different brand names. 3M produces a brand called Duct Tape, and Duck produces a brand called Duck Tape.

  13. Re:Get your $#!^ together on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 2, Funny

    This article is about urinals. Urinals are used for urination, not defecation. If your urine requires a heavy flush mode then I suggest you see a doctor.

  14. Re:Absufuckingly incorrect. on Ubuntu: Best Linux Desktop for Business? · · Score: 1

    Version numbers have nothing to do with decimals, which is why there are versions such as 2.10.95. In most cases, 5.1 would refer to the first minor version on 5, and 5.10 would refer to the tenth minor version of 5. It might be easier to call it version 5 revision 10.

  15. Re:OT, but reminds me of.... on U.K. Says Botnets Good Sign · · Score: 1

    I get your joke, but it's not funny unless it's the other way around.

  16. Re:Does this violate the terms of the DMCA? on Sticky Tape Defeats Sony DRM Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    I think his point was that 3M produces a brand called Duct Tape, and Duck produces a brand called Duck Tape. His parent was implying that 3M made "duck tape". Although then the joke doesn't work, and it's just a joke anyway.

  18. Re:AIN'T nuthin nobody can ever do . . . . . on Handwriting Recognition on DS · · Score: 1

    This applies to me also. I take pride in having illegible handwriting. You'd think I'd be able to read it, with me being the writer and all, but nope.

    It shouldn't cost millions to make a movie. Personally, I don't know why you would pay an actor over a million dollars to act in a movie. It's not that hard of a job, and they don't need that much money. Perhaps if they paid the actors less, the movies would cost less to buy or see. You could say that having a person like Tom Cruise in a movie will sell it more, but that shouldn't be the case. He's actually not that great of an actor, and I couldn't care less who was in what movie. The person should fit the role.

    Replace the first BitTorrent with Azureus and there's my post.

  22. Re:It's all about the community on Fortune Takes a Look at Bram Cohen · · Score: 1

    BitTorrent runs like horse shit on my computer. I'm not saying it runs slow on all computers, or that Java is inherently slow, but one of the nice "features" of the official BitTorrent client is that it isn't overloaded with features.

    It says right in the second paragraph, "Simply plug your USB key into any Windows computer in the world and boom." Plus, the download is an .msi file.

    But nobody is selling it to them. Anyway that's like saying that there's a loophole because he could break into the store and steal the game (I'm not implying that piracy is(n't) stealing).
