  1. Re:Old Communist ploy gets updated on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    And now the US government has made it quick, easy and automated to do the same.

    *sigh*

    but the US is good and the commies are bad!

    God Bless America!

  2. Thanks, now I know what I'll be for halloween. on Gaiman on MP3 Audio Books, Mirrormask · · Score: 1

    Indeed; MP3 audio books, I think, have given the book publishers the willies because of the DRM issue

    Jimmy, thats a cute costume....but what is it??

    I'm a book on MP3! BOOO!

    >>i have one of the effected camcorders and it just shows and records blackness.

    No camera is guaranteed to work in all conditions. Your camera is optimised to work in the dark.

    >>Newer images. The satellite imagery is about 5 years old in my area, and others are older and lower resolution. They need a consistent plan to update the images.

    Thats really quite new. Higher res would be nice but 5 year old satellite images should be quite accurate.

    no, I WOULD prefer an asteroid the size of Texas hurdling at the Earth.



    So would I, particularly if it was the shape of texas AND hit texas.



    Then again, we're about 5 years too late for it to do much good. :(

  9. Re:What a joke on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    The problem is that as flawed and faulty as the right can be, the left is monumentally worse. Given free reign, the left would soon run this country into the ground. We'd either be a socialist welfare state, or a communist dictatorship.

    This is an excellent strawman argument - form a misrepresentation of your opponent and then tear it apart. First, not everyone on the left is the same, just as not everyone on the right is the same? (remember the republicans before bush?) Stop talking about them like they're the same. Socialists are socialists. Communists....are really socialists. Democrats are democrats. If you don't know the distinctions, thats your fault - they definitely exist.

    The reason why the left represents such a terrible choice is because they keep trying to sell and even force upon the american people the same old policies and agendas that have failed every single time they've ever been tried anywhere.

    Like? I call bullshit. Prove it.

    Bush may not be the perfect president, but which president ever was perfect? At the end of the day he's an honest man with relatively good intentions whose outlook on things is based upon common sense rather than brain-dead ideology.

    Were the WMDs in Iraq common sense or brain-dead ideology? (hint: they don't exist so they're not common sense) What about his religious based opposition to stem cell research? Are religon based arguments 'common sense'??

    I'm afraid you've been sold an intellectual bill of goods by the left.

    Oooooh! Those INTELLECTUAL bastards! Do they get those ideas from THINKING! I'd never trust intelligent thought!

    I'm not an ideologue.

    You at least play one on slashdot

  10. Soviet Union? We have The Leader... on Top 8 Reasons HCI is in its Stone Age · · Score: 1

    I bet you my bunny the former Soviet union could have designed a better operating system GUI than any of the software vendors of today.

    We have The Leader (Steve Jobs) thank you very much.

  11. Sounds like a fairly destructive process... on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1, Funny

    If i'm understanding the process correctly, it involves drilling a lot (A LOT) of holes from the surface. Kind of makes oil wells sound like environmentally friendly devices.

  12. ...and if you call before the dupe is posted... on Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More? · · Score: 3, Funny

  13. Re:There is also a jungle fungus that does this on Parasites That Can Control Insect Minds · · Score: 2, Funny

    VERY scary, very science fiction. What if this happened to people, but the behavior was at least passable, until it was 'too late'?

    I believe it already occurs. People produce spores called 'children'. We are brainwashed into sending them to 'learning centers' where they exchange germs and transport them back home. This also explains why they have trouble preventing various mucous-like substances from escaping their body.

    I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Databases are necessary for any kind of serious sales targetting.

  21. Re:Now is THE Time To be a Mac Developer on Does New Development For Mac OS X Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    WO projects can be deployed in a number of different manners, not just on OS X Server. (although it probably is the easiest)

    for instance, anything you can run a J2EE server can run a WO deployment.

    but yes, you'll still need to pay $500 or so for the deployment.
