    At first I thought you were being serious. Then I realized you were trying to be sarcastic. You have no idea what you're talking about, and your sarcasm just happens to mirror reality.
     
    So you back to your ignorance, I'm gonna go play some Quake 4.

  5. Re:The information needed to rebuild my life on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1
    Zip your stuff, encrypt it if you want, and put it on a couple of servers that are in two different cities.

    What about a large-scale terrorist attack, or some sort of war? Or even two natural disasters at the same time (or just a really big one)? If it's on your person, then it's probably ok unless you're dead, and then you don't need it anyways.

    Yeah, yeah. Probability. You could say the same about Katrina. But it's all just a matter of time.

    Thanks for the mental image :(
  8. Re:Cut. Try another scene. on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    My uncle is friends with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. They are famous enough to be on MTV, in movies, commercials, and TV shows, and headlined Lollapalooza once. My dad has a normal job, and he told me once he makes more than Wayne does.

    I don't really know if they're retards. They could be asshole geniuses, because they're milking thousands of dollars out of anyone who buys anything.

    I've never encoded to Matroska before, but if you're comfortable with the command line it's pretty easy to rip a DVD with mplayer/mencoder. Subtitles can also be dumped easily using the "-dump__sub" options. The manpage can tell you how to dump subs quickly around line 7150. IIRC on a dvd you should use -slang en instead of giving it a source file.

    Hmmm....
    1. Like Harris and Klebold... Well, I'm a geek in high school and I play video games. Close enough!
    2. Black clothes... Check! I got like six shirts at QuakeCon.
    3. Scary music... Yep, my baby sister is terrified by MC Hawking!
    4. Guns, lots of guns... Well I don't actually have any, but once I downloaded a book on how to make one!
    Awesome. I'm a real live terrorist.

    Either a very very large subwoofer or a very very small black hole.

  15. Re:No fat kids on Full Body Dance Dance Revolution · · Score: 1

    It really depends on what level he's playing at. If he's playing the wimpy beginner stuff (step... step... step... step...) then he's probably not burning any calories. He'd be better off walking. But if he's playing the insane difficulty levels (you know, the ones where it's physically impossible to stand upright unless you're holding on to something) then he'll be doing good.

  18. Re:They're just protecting us from the terrorists. on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    I did that with an MRE heater and some water in a coke bottle in the bathroom at my school. A friend and I were deaf for an hour (small room + hard walls + loud sound = Bad Thing) but I don't think anybody noticed except a few guys standing outside. It was kind of funny - for the rest of the day we were nervous every time someone walked into our classroom, thinking it was finally the note calling us to the principal's office.
     
    Heh, the captcha for this post was "summons".

  19. Re:No blood flow... on U.S. Military Developing Ultrasonic Tourniquet · · Score: 1

    They taught me in the Boy Scouts that a tourniquet should only be used when you've given up hope for saving the limb, and are willing to let it be amputated. They don't need to bother with removing clots if they're just gonna cut it off.

  20. Re:Eagerly awaiting on Cedega and Linux Games · · Score: 1

    If you're going to be under KDE try using Kopete as your IM client. It's got a couple really nice features I haven't seen anywhere else - instead of popping up a window when you get a message or just having an unnoticeable icon blink, it can open a little speech bubble from the system tray with part of the message. It has two buttons; Chat and Ignore. It doesn't steal focus, doesn't get in the way, and is generally awesome. Kopete will also stop you if you recieve a message within a second of trying to close the window, a feature that has been useful for me a few times. You can turn all of this off of course, if you prefer.

    No, you can't get bitten by tarantulas or scorpions. The only thing that can bite you is a mosquito and you can get stung by a bee.

    And if you time it right, you can hit the animals with an axe.
