  1. Re:Stability on Linux? on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 1

    Even with the very few bugs that may pop up, Firefox 3 beta 5 was still much better than firefox 2. that's why it was included in Ubuntu, at least, that's my assumption.

    Admit it. If tequila is a virus, you don't want to be virus free.

  4. Re:Everytime something like this happens... on Swarming Ants Destroy Electronics in Texas · · Score: 1

    Okay I have to stop you there.

    Small swarming insects are not more adaptive just from being small and swarming.

    In fact right now the honeybee is quickly going from high population to endangered, and there's still no explanation why. That is only compounded by a significant number of new threats to their species.

    When a "small swarming animal" like that can go from obscene levels of population to nearly nothing so fast it's very clear that they are NOT more adaptive. rather, they have simply filled a niche by nature, and are no longer there (or will be soon) since the niche is gone.

    At least they wiil appeal the ruling.

    You could make that argument for most weapons that have killed people.

  7. Re:And who.. on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    The problem with your "problem" is that it isn't a problem.

    It's the same fallacy that dictates that the rabbit will never beat the turtle in a race if the turtle gets a head start, because by the time the rabbit catches up to where the turtle was, the turtle has since moved forward, even if he's moving slower. and ad infinitum, you can argue this case until the universe has collapsed in on itself, never actually passing the point at which the turtle gets passed by.

    As long as you view things from only one perspective it is impossible to be sure of anything. Your argument isn't any less circular than theirs.

  8. 140 Years old on Youngest Galactic Supernova Found, But No Aliens · · Score: 5, Funny

    Younger than America, that's actually really impressive.

    Hmm, perhaps someone should try to get a bill passed that would create one.

  12. Hmm? on USAF Considers Creation of Military Botnet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No good can come of this.

    A botnet is like a disease. Not a bomb. Deliberately infecting your own computers is a horrible idea.

  14. Re:Explain this, then on US Lawmakers Propose New Net Neutrality Bill · · Score: 1

    This is because companies put people in charge of finances who only care about minimizing costs. Eventually they'll realize that this is a horrible idea, but it's a mistake they have to learn not to make.

    On the contrary, It's people like NewYorkCountryLawyer who are ruining the perfectly good reputation of lawyers by giving people hope.

  18. Re:Explain this, then on US Lawmakers Propose New Net Neutrality Bill · · Score: 1

    How about showing you the history of it, and the good and bad that's come of it?

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/

    the downside from deregulation came from the fact that people's wages were artificially high from barriers to trade. when those barriers were removed they thought that they'd still be earning the same amount of money because people would naturally want to buy higher priced goods believing them to be higher quality.

    Turns out that reputations for quality have to be built, and tend to be significantly more important in smaller economic communities, and are significantly weaker in global markets. Cost matters more when there are no barriers to trade. Naturally many people have issues with this, but it does eventually work out for the better.

    In the demo for Alien Vs Predator 2, there's a part where the floor falls out from under you.

    Keep in mind that there hasn't been a single alien in the game prior to this point.

    I unloaded a full clip of ammo and several grenades into the walls.

    That wasn't scared?

    I don't think that's it.

    I think they recognize that getting the information was as easy as walking through a door, and so they don't trust any security measures other than physical security.
