  2. Google was first on Pigeons to Blog Pollution · · Score: 1

    Google was the first to implement pigeons into their technology.
    Remember Pigeon Rank?

    What most people are unaware of, is that most pigeons ALREADY HAVE GPS TRACKING!

  3. I agree! Gameplay is everything! on Duke Nukem Forever in Production · · Score: 1

    I wholeheartedly agree!
    Although Jedi Knight was cool, I didn't experience real online gaming until I got my hands on QuakeII CTF2 with MM^DarK's config.
    After that, the first thing I do when I get a new game is turning textures and special FX off. If the game sucks then, it's not a game but an advanced pass-time. Atm, I only play Nexiuz: http://sigg3.net/b2perma.php?p=760 (Yes, I'm young.)

    So, now that we have that all cleared up, how 'bout heading over to the pub for a Guinness?

    Your comment was too long to read, but I'll get the first rounds!

  5. Obligatory.. err.. on Police Restrict Public Photography · · Score: 1

    In North Korea, only old people have got no place restricting public photography.

    Calligraphy, on the other hand, is totally kewl.

    so who really benefits if everyone drinks more water?

    Come on, don't keep us in the dark! Tell us!

  7. Re:Sex? on Thirsty People Feel More Pain · · Score: 1

    Well, it all comes down to what kind of sex one prefers. You apparently prefer the painful kind.

  9. Man in the middle on Cross Site Cooking · · Score: 1

    "Right, but hijacking a session should require at least a man-in-the-middle attack."

    I'm starting with the man-in-the-middle,

    I'm asking him to change his ways

  10. Re:The power of suggestion on 7 Myths About The Challenger Disaster · · Score: 1

    Actually, alot of people are seriously wounded, even killed, by airbags who didn't "open" during the crash. They pack a mighty punch, mostly towards the rescuer than the rescuee.

  11. Google to Compete with iTunes? on Google to Compete with iTunes? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't surprise me. They've been competeing with God since 1998.

  12. The power of suggestion on 7 Myths About The Challenger Disaster · · Score: 1

    Ahh, the power of suggestion.

    Those astronauts practically sat on a bomb. Knowing, and acknowledging, that something could go wrong was definitely part of their training.
    People seem to forget this whenever they ride the plane, though. It's the Fight Club effect. All the safety folders, small warning stickers and superficial routines make mr. and mrs. Traveller forget that - sh*t - I'm sitting on an airplane!
    In the case of the Challenger disaster, the political optimism that ruled the western world made it a tragic incident.

    People tend to forget that they're in reality.

  13. Re:1/2 Million PC's - is that a lot? on Botnet Brain Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    Sure 500,000 PC's is quite a few - but does this really stack up as a MAJOR botnet? I would have thought multiple millions of devices would be involved in the really major league events. No?

    Heeey! I know you!
    You're the guy from the cinema, right? In the middle of King Kong you stood up shouting: "What?! There's ONLY ONE MONKEY!?! AND HE DIES?!!"
    I knew there was something familiar with your nick, Dave.

    I'm sure your signature is less humorous if you explain it, but I still don't understand it.

  16. But does it play music? on Homemade Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    A bit off topic, but do these cameras still have the PLAY TUNE command?
    "The HP ScanJet 4c's SCL (Scanner Control Language) command set includes an unofficial PLAY TUNE command."
    Check it out: Scanjet Music :) Check out the video!

  17. Re:Jump a head to the end goal on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Try talking out your problems like civilized people do.

    I'm reading through the World History from 4000 B.C to the 20th century. From what I've read, it seems to me that all civilized people do is kill each other, or go to extreme lengths in discovering new ways of killing each other.

    There's a difference between 'civilized' and 'intelligent'. But I wholeheartedly embrace your opinion.

  18. Re:more evolving and changing business models on Search Engines Leech Value from Web Sites · · Score: 0

    I think you're missing the point.
    This doesn't have to be a boolean situation. There are alternatives to copyright, and if they aren't interesting, there's nothing stopping you from making one.

    toilet seats are cleaner the most other surfaces(or the top part at least;) in a house.

    I think you misspelled 'a' with 'my'.

  24. Dark matter or black holes in theory? on Dark Energy May Be Changing · · Score: 0

    Even Einstein admitted that theory is theory, and that reality is far more silly than any metaphysical construction made by man. (On quantum theory)

    It's epicycles. It's dark matter. It's God vacuuming.

    The question is: Whose appendage, exactly, were you touched by? Was it noodly?

  25. Re:Accidental empires? on "St Lawrence of Google" · · Score: 0

    Heard about it, but never read it. I'm not that much into computer books, but it was a complete revelation reading about the Xerox PARC team and their Xerox Alto "desk computer".
    And I didn't know that everything, including the research and development, was so accidental. That we could, with the proper basic research (Cringely's term), found entirely new ways of computing. That's a challenging thought, and one for consideration when imposed technological empires like Microsoft and Apple.
