  1. Re:How does this happen???? on Microsoft Zunes Committing Mass Suicide · · Score: 1

    Prolly some damn intern!

  2. Re:My education on Race and Racism In Video Games · · Score: 1

    Hung Way Low..?

  3. Re:godelstheorem? on Achieving Mathematical Proofs Via Computers · · Score: 1

    What if you can't prove a negative by contradiction?

  4. Re:Congratulations on making a historic event happ on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    I was in my small bed in my small dorm room. Nothing but joy.

  5. Re:version? on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Because Windows 6.55 doesn't have any special meaning.

  6. Re:And nothing of value was lost on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 1

    It's not the pictures alone being online... it's that they're being linked to you.

    If you're just some guy in the photo like your bank and store example, you really have nothing to worry about. It's when you get your picture taken at the bank and it brings up your name, date of birth, blood type, sperm count, girls you dated in high school, etc. that it begins to be an issue.

  7. Re:Lack of GBA slot easily solved (and improved on on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Yeah, can't wait to pay for my Advance games again!

  8. Re:Intended purpose of hacking the e-mail on "Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email · · Score: 1

    Who says they haven't tried or aren't trying? Maybe Palin was just the first to be hacked because it was easier.

  9. Re:FITD vs DITF on Researchers Find Racial Bias In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    But what would happen if you did the same thing with four people, two of them black, two white?

  10. Re:overtaken by new technologies on High Cost of Converting UK To High-Speed Broadband · · Score: 1

    Apart from retaining the bottlenecks present at the sites people visit (what point is 1GB to the home, when the site you're downloading from is limited to 300KBit/S) isn't this simply the last throes of "old" technology?

    You can visit sites simultaneously, or download stuff in the background, have the entire family accessing the Internet, etc.

  11. Re:Liquid Cooled! Awesome on One Data Center To Rule Them All · · Score: 1

    What I don't get is why they cool the entire room. Why not have duct work leading from the AC to the bottom of a server shelving unit, with duct work on the top leading outside, and sucking the hot air out, then pulling cool air in.

  12. Re:terrible idea on Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key · · Score: 1

    Except now I have to set aside my time to do such a project.

  13. Re:So much for unlimited internet on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 1

    Does Cable TV use a fixed amount of bandwidth? Aren't all the channels broadcasted to everyone, so there is no unique traffic?

  14. Re:First Post on Game Developer's Response To Pirates · · Score: 1

    I'd pay if they removed CD-in-the-drive protection.
    Hell, I can tolerate CD-in-the-drive protection if they remove it after the first patch (Epic did this with UT).

    Key based protection is hardly a nuisance, and you can easily store it in a text file.

  15. Re:Fucking Awesome! on Digitizing Rare Vinyl · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You could always store the raw audio in FLAC, and then use digital filtering when you convert to MP3.

  16. Re:what do you expect? on Massive VMware Bug Shuts Systems Down · · Score: 1

    I didn't know the binary distribution did support USB. Jumping ship now. Thanks for the info!

  17. Re:what do you expect? on Massive VMware Bug Shuts Systems Down · · Score: 1

    I run a Windows VM with VMWare Player so I can use my Zune. As soon as VirtualBox supports USB I'll jump ship.

  18. Re:Refusing to learn from mistakes? on Genetic Glitch May Prevent Kids From Learning From Their Mistakes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those next few people are always followed by some karma whore looking for that Insightful mod for pointing out those next few people.

  19. Re:Need more evidence on Get Ready For the Nerdlympics · · Score: 1

    Trauma to the skull can negate any benefit exercising has.

  20. Re:News? on Microsoft's Annual Report Reveals OSS Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Well, when you have five times as many employees you can focus on more things.

    Besides, why do they have to be turned into products to be considered results?

  21. Re:News? on Microsoft's Annual Report Reveals OSS Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Whoops, didn't take your perspective into account.

    Why wouldn't research projects (finished or in progress) qualify as results? Just because they aren't marketable products doesn't mean they aren't results.

    I wasn't replying to GP, was I?
