  1. Re:Poor Comcast on Comcast Sued For Giving Customer Info to RIAA · · Score: 2, Informative

    no, dead would do: it's much easier to sue an estate: they tend not to defend themselves so well.

  2. Re:I'm Impressed on Minority Report UI For The Military · · Score: 1

    you have to bear in mind the application of that technology: they were manipulating tiny fragments of corrupt video data. this inteface is very good for viewing graphical fragments, but i see less of an application for - say - word-processing.

  3. Elbows on Minority Report UI For The Military · · Score: 1

    less so if you rest your elbows on the table. it's a lot like pottery, actually.

  4. Re:Johnny Mnemonic on Minority Report UI For The Military · · Score: 1

    cruise. as in top gun.

  5. Re:Almost on Blogs Latest Source of PC Infection · · Score: 1

    i see two 'websense' [connotation: knight in shining armour] 'blog' [connotation: tool of evil]

  6. Re:Blogs or websites? on Blogs Latest Source of PC Infection · · Score: 1

    a blog is pretty much any site with dated entries. and a journalist is pretty much anyone who attempts to report or comment on things that happen. that's pretty much all there is to it.

  7. Re:Social engineering seems to be the key on Blogs Latest Source of PC Infection · · Score: 1

    in other words: there are now another 200 websites that want to trick you intto installing malicious software, or use loopholes in your browser to do the same. and this is news why? oh yes, it contains the word 'blog'. that makes it interesting. and new.

  8. Kill them All on MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 1

    i'm still praying for myxamatosis

  9. RIAA Regulation on Online Freedom of Speech Act Introduced in House · · Score: 1

    but the riaa isn't a regulating body? oh wait, they have the riaa 'enforcers' who dress up like swat teams and 'storm' premises where they belive there to be breaches of riaa doctrine.

  10. $0.02? on Online Freedom of Speech Act Introduced in House · · Score: 1

    'That will be awful waste of taxpayers money. my 2 cents.' probably something like that, maybe a few more, depends how tax evasion works out.

  11. Faith? on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 1

    because faith is absolute and immutable, even in the face of the strongest evidence.

  12. Colours? on IBM to Hire Firefox Developers · · Score: 1

    firefox is quite clearly orange and blue. of course it will work. everyone knows that blue works with orange styling.

  13. US 'science' on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 1

    'It may be different in the U.S., though.' no, in the us, the scientists aren't less logical, it's the senators: the need to posses som - ah - 'faith sympathetic viewpoints' to be elected in certain states. thus, their votes lead to funding for some less-than-objective scientific studies.

  14. Re:You do know that gravity doesn't exist right? on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    'I'd seriously question the statement "Many scientists are creationists" though.' no, i have no doubt that they're creationists. i'd just question whether they're scientists. once you start discarding evidence in face of faith, you're not really qualified to interpret the results of your experiments.

  15. Re:evolution is "just" a theory because.... on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 0

    but it's a caonjecture based on faith, and faith is immutable, even in the face of the strongest evidence, especially when the faithful believe that there's a reason for the sentient universe to trick them into making mistakes.

  16. Re:Means nothing on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 0, Redundant

    exactly the quote that i was going to cite

  17. Re:P2P + UK only ? on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    did they?

  18. Re:Proxy, anybody? on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    but it's nonetheless restricted

  19. US Only - Bloody iTunes on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    and iTunes. we had to wait ages for it. and then we had to pay twice as many pounds as you do dollars (£1$2). the US is by no means an open web service.

  20. Re:downloads will be limited to UK only on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    'a UK based proxy' - like - for instance - highly-focused english-english translations on google.co.uk?

  21. Foolish BBC online radio on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    who, oh why did they choose real-player. could they have made a more foolish decision?

  22. His? What about Mine? on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 1

    his universe! dammit, i want a universe all to myself (and the films that my fans make there).
