  1. Re:Pain in the ass on Senate Passes Patriot Act Renewal · · Score: 1

    Just stop buying medicin for stupid things. You don't need drugs for treating a cold. There is no fucking cure...

  2. MOD PARENT UP! on Minnesota GOP's CD Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    This is so true.

  3. Re:Point(s) of interest on Physicist Claims Time Has a Geometry · · Score: 1

    10x is not 9.99999... if x is 0.99999...

  4. Re:Protecting an obvious target on Holograms Help Protect Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you, but it's not like we are watching the super bowl all over the world. We don't care much for your silly sports.

  5. Re:Save the whales... on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Narwhals are whales.

  6. Re:You're kidding me! on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1
    Bullshit, there are other reasons for not doing stuff.
    Are you seriously telling me the reason you're not a rapist (so I hope) is because you're afraid of prison?

    You should try empathy some time. I heard it's what people think differentiates us from other species.

  7. Re:So then... on Pandora Radio from Music Genome Project · · Score: 4, Informative

    Pandora and LastFM are two very different services.
    LastFM is recommending music you might like from a social perspective.
    Pandora builds on the music genome projects, and lets you hear music that actually sounds similar, not music that other people who like your music might listen to.
    It's kind of a double edged sword I guess, since you arguably get to listen to more new music through LastFM, but with Pandora you get to listen to stuff you would never have found through your social channels at all.

  8. Re:But on Pandora Radio from Music Genome Project · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's not how it works, it lets you hear bands that sound similar, not bands within the same genre.
    So the label people put on bands doesn't matter, it's how they sound.

  9. Re:all there is to really know is.... on A Continued Look at Linux vs Windows · · Score: 1

    To compare Windows to Linux is like comparing carrots to meat and potatos....
    As in, you need both?

  10. Mod parent down, FUD on Unleashing the Power of the Cell Broadband Engine · · Score: 1
    This is in fact not the "DRM the heck out of everything Sony" we are talking about, this is another part of Sony.
    The part of Sony that has been providing Linux kits for the PS2 since 2002.

    The console homebrew scene is rather big, and Sony and Microsoft can do nothing about it.

  11. Re:11 years well spent? on The 11 Year Soap Bubble · · Score: 1

    And what are the useful applications of that site you link to in your sig?
    Can't people spend their time however they want to?

  12. Re: Microsoft is in for the long haul on Xbox 360 Launches In U.S. · · Score: 1
    Why did you get a top of the line computer to play that game?

    If you haven't guessed it by now, you are not the target audience for this machine.
    You can configure your color-depth and get new drivers all day if you want to. I'll be playing my video games while you're at it...

  13. They are two different entities. on DVD Jon's Code In Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1
    Sony is not one company, the guys working on the playstation has nothing to do with the guys distributing the music.

    So stop you FUDing and realise all the next gen consoles will have copy protection. The PS3 will not have anything to do with this root-kit.

  14. Re:Am I just olde? on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 1

    All you smug Nintendo heads are ticking me off..
    There are great games and new games available for any console, Nintendo does not have more of them.

  15. Re:Doesn't add up. on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: 1

    Maybe it would be worse, but as that's not how the world looks right now.
    MS IS the monopoly, Apple is not.

  16. Re:Stupid Question: on Storing Liquid CO2 in the Oceans? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be kind of stupid to send all the oxygen away from our planet instead of recycling it somehow?

  17. Re:That's funny... on First-Gen Xbox 360 Games Single-Threaded? · · Score: 1

    Argumentum ad hominem?

  18. Re: Left Wing Education == Declining Education on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    This is just disgusting, you have no concept of left wing politics, there is none in your country.

  19. Re:Doing Without the UN's Vaunted Integrity on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    I was going to post a reply about the US in the same fashion, but I got a memory overflow when I tried to paste it...
    Seriously, it's really silly when you post these things.

    The UN does a heck of a lot of things, and only the US seem to be the ones not seeing they do a lot of good.

    Or... You could boil it, and not risk setting your pillow on fire.

  21. Re:Taikonaut to confirm GreatWall is visible in Sp on Another Taikonaut Launch This Week · · Score: 1

    Also, once some country lands on the moon, can they just claim it as territory and start building on it in any fashion?
    Sure they can, it's how the world has always worked. Just get a piece of land and more guns than the other people wanting the land.

  22. Re:The best music store on Online Music Stores Compared · · Score: 1

    Are you really that obsessed with doing something that feels legal?

    You buying songs from allofmp3.com helps the artists as much as buying fake rolex watches and gucci handbags help the designers.
    You're basically doing the same thing as the pirates do, but you get to pay for it.
    No-one is gaining anything except for the russian mob.

    I'll stick to my illegal torrents thank you.

  23. Re:Extremely cool, but... on MIT Unveils Prototype for $100 Linux Laptop · · Score: 1, Informative
    There was this thing called Colonialism. You see, we kind of screwed these people over earlier and I think we owe it to them to help out as much as we can. Somehow humans did prosper there for hundreds of thousands of years.
    I'd blame religion and corporations for what's happened in the third world. I'm sorry but you can't just call them lazy and be done with it...

    And who's to say they should be developing like we did. I think people can lead perfectly good lives without technology, and if not, they will invent things to help them. We don't have to poke our noses everywhere and make people dependant on western corporations.

  25. Re:Oh goody... on European Students to Put Microsatellite Into Orbit · · Score: 0

    I fail to see how this thing would take up more space in orbit than down here on the surface.
    Granted, I know nothing at all about how much junk is in orbit.
    But if they've managed to get it crowded like traffic in rush hour up there I'm really impressed and I'd like to know much lighter the earth is now.
