  1. Send all the volunteers on Mars Journal Issue Inspires Hundreds of One-Way Trip Volunteers · · Score: 2

    Send all the volunteers. Send several ships with greenhouse and housing building materials. Eventually we will build the technology to rescue them. For now, they can just Tweet us from Mars.

  2. we have a choice? on Some WikiLeaks Contributions To Public Discourse · · Score: 0

    'while veiled in secrecy, profoundly affect the lives of people around the world and can play an important role in a democracy that chooses its leaders.'

    Wait, last time I checked you can only choose from 2 people as our leader - both of whom were never our first choice.

    That's what I am worried about, I want my Minecraft landscapes to be rendered better.

  4. The Scientology approach on Disempowering the Singular Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    In our IT department, root admins are required to sign a notarized document telling their deepest, darkest secrets in order to be given the password. This keeps them in line for eternity, and seems to be working quite well...

    ...were used to actually play games?

    Neither do I.

  6. It was already free on Hosting Company Appears To Be Violating the GPL [Resolved] · · Score: 1

    So it still is free, is it not?

  7. vital liberties on Anonymous Organizes Global Protests For WikiLeaks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Members of a free society must not allow information to be suppressed simply because it inconveniences those in power. We share the responsibility to defend vital liberties.

    The vital liberties of being able to max out your credit card at Walmart, watch reality tv, become obese, go into debt slavery and work for the rest of your life.

  8. We know the stupid grid... on Securing the Smart Grid · · Score: 0

    ...which is burning stuff with huge inefficiency and high cost, and ruining our environment and our standing in the world with unnecessary wars in the process.

    Green, renewable energy is LONG overdue.

  9. Indispensible Jerks on When Smart People Make Bad Employees · · Score: 1

    Who cares who's daughter is who's and who's DNA is in whomever? Who really gives a hoot?

  12. Cheap games on For Mac Developers, Armageddon Comes Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    As of tomorrow, games priced at $20-60 will be competing against games priced at 99 cents to $4.99. The most expensive iOS games are around ten bucks. In effect, game pricing will drop by 90-95% — on average — overnight.

    HOORAY! Now when do I have time to actually play any of these games?

    Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
    Okay. There's not a whole lot to it. Well, let's see, we'll start with the—Let's start with sports, what the heck. The Astros survived 8 to 7, the Braves got five or six runs in the—five runs in the ninth inning, but they just made it; and in the other important game of the day, the Cubs were rained out. I have all the rest of the scores, you can tell me if you want any of them. They had earthquakes in Manila and other areas of the island of Luzon. There were three tremors and they kept the buildings shaking for about a half an hour or so, and it was about a 5 on the Richter scale.
    Okay, let's see. The Beatles have announced they will no longer perform as a group. The quartet is reported to have made in excess of a half billion dollars during their short musical career. However, rumors that they will use this money to start their own space program are false. 01 00 17 24

  14. New Rule: Detachment on Spoofed White House Card Dupes Many Gov't Employees, Steals Data · · Score: 1

    New Rule: NEVER open an attachment.
    OR - Never open an attachment to an email (or any file sent to you) unless you know who sent it to you, and you have confirmed that they did send it to you, and they did send it at a certain time and date with the same file name.

    This should be mandatory for all employees who do not understand the danger of phishing, trojans or malware attacks.

  15. Remember when you were young... on Pink Floyd Give In To Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    Everyone has already downloaded Pink Floyd's entire discography already.

    Personally I have bought several of their albums and tapes, so they made money off me already. Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour should be knighted.

  16. Star Wars Galaxies anyone? on Why BioWare's Star Wars MMO May Already Be Too Late · · Score: 1

    What happened to Star Wars Galaxies? Wasn't that supposed to be the best Star Wars MMORPG?
    Never mind Jedi, you can be Boba-Fett or Han Solo type of character if you want to. If they just put a bit more effort into marketing and design, it could be a LOT better I think...

  21. iPhone phishing on Mobile Users More Vulnerable To Phishing Attacks · · Score: -1

    iPhone users are 8 times more likely to engage phishing websites than Blackberry users. iPhone users account for 26% of the mobile market, Blackberry is 36%.

    So the lesson is, if you use an iPhone - don't click on that link until you check it out the full email header on a PC. Unless you like living dangerously.
