  1. Re:Punishments for minors on Creator of Sasser Worm Goes on Trial · · Score: 1

    "He crashed a few windows systems? What's the big deal?" Exactly; those systems practically crash themselves. "This guy just crashed some systems" is really talking up this guy. My grandmother crashes Windows by mistake.

  2. Re:Good luck to all you Europeans... on EU Closer To Rejecting Software Patents · · Score: 1

    You honestly believe that having only one company with safe tires is a good idea? How's this for revolutional;
    GIVE EVERYONE THE SAFE TIRES AND LET'S SAVE A FEW LIVES

    I thought throughout that comment that perhaps this was the first actual intelligently argued pro-patent point I'd ever read. However, the final analogy really showed through that you wouldn't mind if people died, as long as someone, somewhere made a buck; this pretty much sums up the pro-patent arguement - fuck the public interest, someone needs to get rich here.

  3. Re:Popular perception on Cartoon Network Acquires Neon Genesis Evangelon · · Score: 1

    I don't watch a whole lot of Anime, but some of it is really the kind of subject matter that really is in the class of "arthouse".
    However, most of it is pointless crap (note that, like the Debian user I am, I would never consider watching anything other the subtitles).
    Case in point: I heard everyone talking about Trigun, but I hate that kind of boring, unfunny, formulaic saturday morning shit.

  4. Re:The BBC has to save money on BBC to Cull the Cult TV Repository · · Score: 1

    And while we're at it Linus should cut off distribution of the kernel to people who don't pay him donations.

    I pay the license fee for a public service, not just a British public service.

    Perhaps instead of building idiotic and unenforceable iron walls around our intellectual assets, we simply ask for donations from overseas?

  5. Re:Anime subculture on The Business of Anime · · Score: 2, Funny

    Most of us who live in America grew up in a country with entire oceans separating us

    You know, that sounds something like Japan.

  6. Re:Upper limit was actually 4 megs, not 16 on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1

    When you say "a couple" do you mean "every"?

  7. Re:Dumb Question... on The Book of Postfix · · Score: 1

    Seems like you have to be a PhD Rocket Scientist to change the most simplest thing.

    Correct grammar might help.

  8. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    Go learn Kung Fu

    That's almost as convenient a way of answering a question as "God is invisible".

    Why don't you just use playlists, like everyone else.

  10. Re:I have the solution to all of this on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Who has time to go and READ all the cookies that collect.

    Ever heard of the value of shared work? Do you honestly think the objective of this would be to have everyone read the contents of every cookie? It's only takes one OSS project to catalog the functions of cookies, splitting them into;
    Login and setup related cookies
    Advertisment cookies
    Malicious cookies
    From there, its only one more project to make a firefox extension that updates from a central FTP server.

    Microsoft is just trying to make more money, just like every other American corporation would do.

    I'd like to get in first with the obligatry bitch that "this isn't hacking! it's cracking!" post.

    Also: https://www.mealpay.com/UnsupportedBrowser.aspx has "Secure Solution" just above "Microsoft." Oh the irony :p.
