  1. Engrish on Gentoo 2005.1, Experimental Live CD Released · · Score: 1

    One Fewer reason. Less describes when something is measurable, fewer when it is countable. 12 items or fewer.... 12 items or less is incorrect.

  2. Apple is never wrong on Apple's Colossal Disappointment? · · Score: 1

    I don't want every ding bat in the country running MacOS. I want them to stay on windoze so that they can continue to draw attention from the malware authors and scammers away from me. I like being left out when it comes to the BS windoze users face every single day they interact with their machines. People choose to use shitty software, so let them. If you want a mac, buy a mac. Apple branded hardware has been pretty good. Intel made great networking cards, of which I can't find anymore. I hate the cheap cards out now. The CPU should not handle networking, that is what a network card is supposed to do.

  3. orbit the shield on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    so really we only need to put a small pile of crap in orbit so that it stays between the sun and the earth. It would block light only on part of the year, but should be easier to implement. Or we can just admit that global warming does not exist. It appears to exist due to bad data analysis.

    YEAH YEAH.. Us American s better bomb them for-en-ers. They caint be allowd tuh do better than us.

  5. Re:Einstein: The exception to the rule? on Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says · · Score: 1

    He also had a higher than average (not sure if abnormal) glial cell count. So is neurons were not losing transmission as frequently as other individuals. Glial cells aid the transmission along axons of neurons. They also provide a protective barrier that supports the connections.

  6. Exactly why businessfolks are dumb on Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says · · Score: 1

    The largest brains in human heads belong to severly retarded individuals. Larger total brain mass = slower transmission of the mind.
    It has been shown over and over again that the higher the density of neural connections as well as the higher the number of glial cells(not neurons) determines higher intelligence. Brain size does not directly correspond to intelligence. Women have on average a slightly smaller brain mass, yet ARE as smart. Perhaps not in all areas as compared to men, but are not significantly slower overall.
    So professor. Nice try but real science exists and those of us who are enlightened in such matters will not be fooled by you.

  7. tree on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 1

    I prefer the dead tree model. I am forced to see it as I walk out my front door.
    I also like... cough... sort of like apples iCal or whatever it is called.

  8. JAP on Tor Named One of the Year's Best Products · · Score: 1

    I remember when JAP did this function. Then the German Gov't forced an upgrade to let them snoop. I get the feeling that this network isn't as secure as many seem to believe.

  9. marijuana and other national bullshit on Many Scientists Admit Unethical Practices · · Score: 1

    Marijuana causes chromosomal abnormalities that will kill the user. It also causes violence and crime. It has been "proven" in a study by American scientists. Power lines do not cause birth defects and cancers. American studies proved it. Removing guns from individuals will reduce crimes. Pit bulls are not viscious. Providing free money to the indigent will encourage them to improve themselves to the point of no longer accepting welfare. Sex offenders won't attack again after spending a few months in prison. Honestly! who didn't realize that you can't believe everything you read. Especially in the nations mass media, which pontificate truths unchecked by scientific peer review. And even groups of scientific peers can be coerced to agree on mistruths.

  10. idiots on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 1

    I'm glad so many idiots are allowed to speak. It would be too beneficial to society to shut them up or shoot them.

  11. virii on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    All the windozers will now have the potentially soon to end experience of a computer without virii or virii detectors. When the masses all use OS X, it will become the target for the hackxorckers. I still want reliable hardware. Intel is good, but the other cloners that unite into such units as eMachines are total crap. My macs all run well. They have been running well for many years. I always wanted to pay less for a computer, but I haven't had to repair the machines at all.

  12. yes.... its minnesooota on PGP Ruled as Relevant For Criminal Case · · Score: 1

    These people elected Jesse Ventura as their governor. Arkansas now has a competitor for most back assed state.

  13. Good! on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Once people's brains are stored on hardware, we will be able to run a programs to search for worthy intelligence. If an individual is too dull, rm -R /Johnnys_brain Also this means that we can prove that someone is an idiot and there is nothing they can say about it.

  14. Re:Where can we get it now? on UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video · · Score: 1
  15. JAP did this, and had to shut down on CMU Professor's Rebuttal Against RIAA Propaganda · · Score: 1

    someone might remember the same idea, it was the program called JAP. It worked so great that the german gov't decided to force the operators to add a backdoor for them and force an upgrade upon all users. The idea works great, but it will be shut down immediately. Too bad rotten eggs spoil anonymity for the rest of us. But the child molestors, real terrorists, and those pesky music downloaders must be caught. I don't see why people aren't convincing their senators and congressmen to vote out the laws. The number of people against these laws surely outnumbers those for them. How many /.'ers have actually written to local papers to spread the word, or talked to their legislative representatives?

  16. Re:Tyger Tyger - Copyright Violation on Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The American dime used to have a lady liberty with a winged head, dubbed the mercury dime. It was supposed to represent America's freedom of thought. The dime was discontinued a long time ago. There is nothing free any longer in this country and gosh darnit that's the new American way. Go USA . Watch more TV and shop at WalMart

  17. walmart sucks on Wal-Mart Parody Site Censored by DMCA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So I will not shop there. Target also sucks so I will not shop there either. It's amazing how I can find what I want off the internet or from a grocery store or smaller shops around town. It is easy not to shop at WalMart so why bitch and scream. Just don't go there.

  18. who cares on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 1

    Television is dumb. Every joke has already been told, the news sounds the same every day. If my television no longer pickes up airwaves, I will just hook up a camera outside my house and use the tv as a monitor. I won't miss broadcast television at all.

  21. ethics... people seem to have it wrong on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I see no unethical action by students here. Who was injured by this action? So someone found out that they were not accepted or were accepted a few weeks early. Big deal! The school was not injured. Other applicants were not injured.(other spots are still available and unknown, unless this hack was really a list of all accepted individuals which according to officials was not the case) The applicants however are being injured, by the school. The company was embarassed, but rightly so. Actually they should be ashamed of doing their job poorly. It is their job to make sure "hacks" do not happen. But what do they care. As long as the 200 dollar application fees are paid by 5000 applicants, they are all set. I bet there were no screw ups in the billing aspect of the site. The school is acting unethically in this situation, not the applicants. There was no injury to the school, yet they injure applicants who for some reason wish to better themselves in the presence of Harvard. Why harvard? who knows?

  22. grow it yourself on Online Cigarette Customers Get Bill from State · · Score: 1

    Tobacco grows like a weed. If people really wanted to save money, they can just grow their own. It takes a lot of work to cure the tobacco so it stinks the right way, but it can be done.
