  1. Re:Everyone keeps saying... on Linux Has Better Windows Compatibility Than Vista · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are you saying linux isn't a religion?

  2. Re:Thought crimes on EFF Takes On RIAA "Making Available" Theory · · Score: 1

    Tell that to demonoid.

  3. Re:Hmmm... on Can Time Slow Down? · · Score: 1

    No, they're assuming that the memories are why people feel this way, that's in no way proven by the test. It does say "the answer" in the article, but one has to see the fnords.

  4. Re:Is Netscape still taken serious? on Netscape 9 to Undo Netscape 8 Mistakes? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It's more used probably by most geeks, but I've been suprised to find it (Netscape) the corporate [well, university, they're screwy] standard in alot of places. 4.7, usually. Also worked in a variety of decent-sized places (3000ish computers) that haven't gone from 2000 to XP yet. It works, don't break it. At least in the corporate world. Personally, I'm happy with Firefox 1.5.something. Tried 2.0, it screwed my bookmarks, various other things. Instructions were available to fix that, such as a clean install, deleting the program directory first, etc., but I'm not upgrading .5 versions of something that works fine until the upgrade is seamless. Anway, back vaguely to the topic, if you've stuck all your eggs in the Netscape basket for the last 15 years, it might be more expensive to move them to a different/multiple baskets? (I don't agree, but I haven't tried.) IANASP

  5. Re:Recipe for BSG Success ... on Battlestar Galactica DVD Movie In the Works? · · Score: 1

    Can't imagine where this is coming from, either, it has no basis in reality. I skipped the history classes in school that covered the crusades, nazis, or any of the modern muslim conflicts. "I should state that the humans interest me less than machine intelligence, but religious nuts? Where did that come from? Mass murder followed by the tepid attempts to show the humans the right path, that's just too hard a sell."

  6. SCO buried on SCO Asks Court To Reconsider IBM's Dismissal · · Score: 1

    How far does their stock have to be buried before IBM just acquires them, and just releases all their (SCO's) IP under the GPL (or BSD, or whatever)? Acquisition was obviously the original plan, but when will it happen in reality? IBM obviously has the cash, but how far does SCO have to sink until they do something about it? One would think they'd do it sooner just to stop Darl's salary.

  7. Re:Not the only scientist trying this on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    IIN-anything-useful, but if you could avoid the causality issues, and this actually worked, couldn't you design an almost infinitely capable computer processor? Every clock cycle could send it's results back in time, and any problem would be solved instantaneously.

  8. Re:In other news.. on YouTube Removes Comedy Central Clips Due to DMCA · · Score: 1

    Fortunately for Comedy Central, Stewart, Colbert, etc., the world is bigger than your parent's basement. I'm not arguing that removing this isn't a bad idea. But "watching their channel since well... nobody does anyways?" Monkey, pleaze.

  9. Smaller hand on World's Smallest Robotic Hand · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IINAMHS, but the world's smallest hand be used to build a yet smaller hand?

  10. Re:DRM on Television For an Audience 45 Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    They're lucky in that case, as in 90 years, the copyright on the film will have been bought by some media company, and they'll be liable for 45 years of licensing fees, with interest.

  11. Volvos on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, us low-scale Volvo fans will still support them.

  12. Re:Crap on Space Elevator An Impossible Dream? · · Score: 1

  13. Re:wimp on Torn-up Credit Card Apps Not So Safe · · Score: 1

    According to Ripley, the only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit.

  14. Re:Much more than cocaine on Cocaine Biosensor · · Score: 1

    That sounds like the perfect thing for overdose protection. The sensors could detect the percentage in your blood, and not allow you to inject any more than neccesary. All coke-fiends could then max out their shots without fear of death. Suddenly, it's safe again. Aside from the required burglaries and such.

  15. Your location on Google Maps vs the Rest · · Score: 1

    It's all about where you live, and how much you care. Personally, I use it mostly for novelty, and I imagine that's a fairly common use for these things. And I use google maps for directions, just because it seems to have less crap on the page, and I like to just zig/zag around the ending location, for the details I really need. Where I am, I just tried zillow, live, and google. Live and google have almost, if not exactly the same rez, but google appears to have run a sharpening on it. Zillow didn't even come close.

  16. Re:Further Study on Glass Shapes Can Make Us Drink Too Much · · Score: 1

    Bartending schools? What about variety? Is there some section of the country that doesn't have ALOT of bartenders that are just alcoholics/potheads that just like the job and figure it out on the way? I've not actually encountered a bartender that went to bartending school. Maybe it's because I don't use gel in my hair?

  17. Re:PHP: CREATED BY FAG JEWS, LOVED BY DIRTY NEGERO on New 'Mighty Mouse' Formula Found · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This whole crazy nazi racism shit's starting to get annoying. It's increasing more and more over the last few weeks. Isn't there some mechanism that can be put in place to make it go away?

  18. Re:Good idea, wrong use on High-Tech RepoMan · · Score: 1

    Actually, miss a mortgage payment, your ATM card doesn't work anymore is true in a couple of states, to some degree. Somewhere NE, don't recall quite where, mortgage companies are allowed to take delinquent payments straight from your bank accounts, whether you like it or not.

  19. Re:Audio books... in general on Gaiman on MP3 Audio Books, Mirrormask · · Score: 1

    There are alot of DVD players, and a few (too few, it seems) car CD players that support MP3 cd's, and probably mostly don't speak ogg. I have one in my car, it allows me to have alot less disc switching going on. This is especially helpful for a book. My sister is in the process of going blind, so I've been burning her Stephen King's Dark Tower series for her cd player, and it'd save me alot of time if it could stay in MP3.

  20. Fog-X on Nanotech Coating Prevents Fogging · · Score: 5, Informative

    The people who make rain-x, which works rather well itself to deflect rain, also make fog-x, which I've tested on a steamy bathroom mirror, and it works perfectly.

  21. Re:Planetary acne cream on Ice Lake on Mars · · Score: 1

    That's not CO2 or Oxy5, it's Ice-9.

  22. Hurling day on Power Armor For the Elderly · · Score: 1

    I'd hate to suggest something that I think was produced by disney, even though it was a henson creation, but the tv show Dinosaurs had a great idea with hurling day. On their 60th, 70th, don't recall which, birthday, old people are hurled off a cliff. It's an old tradition, keeps them from slowing down the pack. Not neccesarily a bad idea, in the grand scheme of things.
