    I got all my clothes before the whole "Anti-carcinogen" fad, I only wear fire retardant pajamas.

  2. Order of events... on Chuck Norris Backs Down On Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I wonder what happened first, Chuck Norris changed his mind about Spector's musings, or a lawyer told him about The People vs. Larry Flynt.

    Fuck "the official F1 games". Make me a GOOD game, I don't give a shit what it is "the official game" of. Those three words are almost always an indication of a terrible game.

  6. Re:My eBay feedback 1000, still rooting for Google on Google Accidently Revealed As eBay Critic · · Score: 1

    Not to mention, enforcement of basic rules is atrocious. I *rarely* use e-bay, and yet almost every time I have a bad experience with:
    1)horrible mis-listings
    2)auctions that actually are not auctioning or buy-it-now'ing anything, but just link to a non-ebay e-retailer, or
    3)redirection to pornographic malware sites.

    If ebay wants to not suck, they could start with some of those issues. Also, fixing the damn categorization structure and ENFORCING it would be nice, instead of having ...>Phones>Accessories being 50% phones and 20% random totally unrelated shit, and ...>Phones>Phones being 80% accessories and 20% random totally unrelated shit.

    That is only true to a small degree. Usually, Nexon resists selling items of actual use, so a player who does not pay will not be too significantly disadvantaged.

    Oh, poo. I'm sure plenty do, and I've read the nfo's, but ALWAYS is a stretch. I doubt anyone buys those PopCap shareware games before they crack them.

    So now, crackers will actually have to buy the game and then dump the decrypted content. Atleast that guarantees another purchase.

  13. Re:Yes I'd like to see that on Group Wants Wi-Fi Banned, Citing Allergy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While it always bugs me when people talk about chemicals and how scary they are, GP has a point. Potatoes, castor beans, the sun... we HAVE long term data on all those things. People have been eating potatoes and beans and being exposed to the sun since prehistory. We can look at disease data for different populations that have these foods as staples.

    We do not, on the other hand, have any data for synthetics with no other presence in nature. We know Wild Almonds can kill you because they've been around forever and documented. Why should we have MORE faith in substances for which we have NO historical background information?

  20. Re:Using bots in S.American countries on USAF Considers Creation of Military Botnet · · Score: 1

    Good rant, but that interpretation of 29(3) is wrong. Someone's actions flaunting the "purposes and principles" of the UN Human Rights treaty are not protected by said treaty. It does not state that they are no longer protected in all other actions/states of being: They still have human rights, it is just the defiant actions that are not protected. The right to, say, life would never be withheld under that clause unless living itself was "contrary to ...".

  21. Re:I'm Suprised on USAF Considers Creation of Military Botnet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For your botnet to be uncompromisable, you'd have to make it centralized, and that means you have a nexus point susceptible to DDOS attacks itself, which kind of defeats the purpose. If you want a formidable botnet, you are going to end up tracking hundreds of thousands of bots. AFAIK, the only botnets that have managed to grow to this size utilize P2P bots, which (I believe) will always be susceptible to malicious corruption.

  22. Re:hmm on Hiding a Rootkit In System Management Mode · · Score: 1

    The rootkit has to be installed from something. Unless you get victims to boot from a CD to install your rootkit, Norton has the opportunity to catch it (not saying it will).

  24. Are they on crack? on Google To Be Sued in UK For Trademark-Linked Ads · · Score: 1

    Seriously. When someone searches for Tesco, and they are looking for Tesco (a safe assumption), they'll click the SEARCH RESULT that matches, not the AD for Safeway. Tesco shouldn't want people clicking their ads (and if theirs is the only ad, it is easier to confuse with a search result) - because they are then paying Google for hits that they were already going to get.

  25. Re:Gumstix on MiniOn ARM Microcontroller Programming System · · Score: 1

    Good to know, but the motherboard is kind of the key factor. The difference is paying a minimum $100 dollars for the lowest end board, or making your own MiniOn at $5 dollars a chip (buying a single chip - http://www.componentsuperstore.com/store/SearchResult.aspx?PartNumber=LPC2141FBD64-S&SearchType=ByID&ManufacturerName=NXP) and a bunch of very standard components that should be cheap as hell.
