    WOOOOSH!

    Pantsu is japanese for panties

  3. Re:Because programmers can be fired if they disobe on U. of Chicago Law School Blocks Internet Access · · Score: 1

    If a hundred new types of the common cold could push out AIDS, Ebola, and Cancer...sure, why not?

  4. Re:Reality mirroring Science Fiction on Swiss Bank Secrecy Under Renewed Attack · · Score: 4, Funny

    A war against Switzerland?! That's crazy! They can do ANYTHING with just their pocketknives!

  5. Re:Experience it first hand on The Wrath of the Apple Tribe · · Score: 1

    Well, either I just used 5 points, and had mine run out again, so it's not for everybody

  6. Re:They are forgetting. on Scientology Injunction Denied Against "Anonymous" · · Score: 1

    True, but they're above average. Also, while this started with *chans, it has indeed expanded beyond just them.

  7. Re:black bochs upgrade on FAA Mandates Major Aircraft "Black Box" Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I'd wondered that until a few minutes ago, too. After a quick google search, the answer turns out to be that they'd be far too heavy. Also of note is that they DON'T just survive any crash, even with all the precautions, they can STILL get destroyed. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_001.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_data_recorder have more info

    While a spelunker isn't likely to be going to explore underwater wrecks, they very well may be going to explore underwater caves.

    You don't have to shop at that store. You do have to go to that school, though.

  10. Re:But they're huge... on Identity Theft Rates Among Top Banks · · Score: 1

    and...I didn't read your post or the article fully, summary should say divided by the total deposited amounts. Statistics before coffee is apparently a bad idea.

  11. Re:But they're huge... on Identity Theft Rates Among Top Banks · · Score: 3, Informative
    No, you didn't even read the summary properly.

    When the estimated events are divided by the total deposits, the data show that HSBC, Washington Mutual, and Bank of America have the highest rates of identity theft.
  12. Re:"Making Available" kinda like... on Judge Rejects RIAA 'Making Available' Theory · · Score: 1

    As I understand, libraries are protected, but if a patron uses the photocopier, said patron is liable for copying. More info here: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter7/7-d.html

  13. Re:$19,462 on Geek Wins Copyright Lawsuit Against Corporation · · Score: 1

    A fool who gets lucky and ends up rich is still a fool, and if he remains so, he will generally be parted with that money quite soon.

    Zealots of any kind are prone to stupidity, be they for religion, operating systems, gaming consoles...

    Perhaps The Snorks now work for Microsoft?

  17. Re:A bit of misinformation helps sometimes on How to Convince Non-IT Friends that Privacy Matters? · · Score: 1

    The trouble there comes if they find out it's not as bad as you said, in which that plan can backfire quite nastily. That said, leaving your computer as a botnet zombie is helping organized crime. as it's one of the things they've branched out into.

    Well, when in doubt...search Google. First result has plenty of info http://www.patswayne.com/kiki/

  19. Re:IBM and Novell Will Object on Darl McBride Leaving SCO? · · Score: 1

    It's really hard to tell if this is calculated malfeasance or serial incompetence. With Microsoft it's sometimes hard to tell the difference.
    The thing about a corporation is that it can in fact be both, each from different people.

  21. Re:an easier yet better method on Canon Files For DSLR Iris Registration Patent · · Score: 1

    That would be trivially viewable on a computer, I've yet to see a monitor where a single pixel different wouldn't make a difference.
