  1. Shit summary on DHS Injects Itself With DDoS · · Score: 0

    "Here's a story about an IT disaster. No, we're not going to tell you what's actually in the article. Now please allow me to reference some trite television show. No kidding!" Worst. Summary. Ever.

  2. Re:Not really surprised on Verizon, Copper, Fiber, and the Truth · · Score: 0

    It's nice to think that would work. Unfortunately, all major-party politicians (read: the only ones who are ever going to win until we do away with this damned two-party system) are the corporations' bitches. The corporations have millions of dollars to lobby politicians with. Us peasants don't.

    I'm sot sure what's going on here - who's peeking at your gaming hours?

  4. Populus, not populous on New Zealand Police Act Wiki Lets You Write the Law · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Populous is an adjective meaning heavily populated.

    The word you're looking for is the noun populus.

  9. Re:It's called UCSD or on U of CA Constructs 220 Million Pixel Display · · Score: 0

    I'm an American, and I can't immediately tell what the fuck either of them mean. What's wrong with calling it by its name, "University of California"? Or must we use illegible, and frankly retarded, abbreviations for a goddamned proper noun?

    I just had a revelation: Porn is a way to use something, not an object.

  12. Crazy Taxi on Advergaming to Hit $4 Billion in 2008 · · Score: 0

    Sort of off topic, but I'm pretty sure the Pizza Huts, FILAs, and Tower Records didn't accidentally placed in Crazy Taxi. That's the way in-game advertising should be: non-intrusive. In Crazy Taxi's case, I think having recognizable stores added to the experience.

  13. Re:What has happened to the Discovery Channel? on MythBusters - The Lost Experiments · · Score: 0

    TLC has gotten way worse.

  14. Re:They were low level players. on Why Do Computer Games Claim Lives? · · Score: 0

    I won't have THAT kind of theate in MY neighborhood!

  16. Re:The crime is in getting caught... on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 0

    You need to grow up and realize that breaking the rules/law is wrong whether or not you get caught.

    The crime here is cheating the store, not breaking the law. In this particular case, the law is just, but that's not always the case. Blanket statements like "obeying the law is the right thing to do" encourage only blind acceptance of government policies. Martin Luther King said in his Letter from Birmingham City Jail:

    "The answer lies in the fact that there fire two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the Brat to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all"

    If racially discriminatory laws hadn't been challenged and broken in the 1960s, negroes would still be sitting at the back of the bus. I could find other examples of positive law-breaking, but this is what I thought of first.

    I'm saying it again, to clarify: I don't condone stealing or cheating, and in this situation the law shouldn't have been broken, but making a statement like "breaking the rules/law is wrong" is false.

    I'd be surprised if the passport's RFID chip used any standard frequency, or was without any sort of encryption.

  24. Re:What does on Insect Substance Synthesized For Science · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You never know, they might start making Resilin Personal Lubricant. I don't know how it feels though, and how it would compare to more popular brands like KY or Remmington. But this product does have a lot of, as you would say "tallywhacker" potential. I prefer to use the word "pecker" though. It makes you sound more distinguished.
