  1. Re:Their lives are too stressful to pay attention! on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    mh, somehow im thinkin the number of reps /. has in the gov. won't bring about any of those.... (speaking of which, do we have any?, lol)

  2. Re:It's so much worse.. on Groups Slam FCC on Internet Phone Tap Rule · · Score: 1

    not very practical(possible?) to monitor everything.

  3. Re:It's so much worse.. on Groups Slam FCC on Internet Phone Tap Rule · · Score: 1

    Theres so much data flying around on the internet, all they need to do is grab some severless p2p phone program like picophone, punch in their mateys IP through an encrypted tunnel, and voila. The FBI may be able to grab every last piece of stinkin data, but it won't know that crap from the rest of it on the internet. They can easily put it on a common port, like 80 or 21 and make it even more confused... ;)

  4. Re:Scary. very scary. on Blu-Ray to Include New Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Problem is the only people who'd do that would be the people they're worried about bein pirates. So they'd probably come up with some authentication thing online... ugh. I say it has a fair chance of getting into the market, people are too stupid when buying stuff.

  5. Re:not too soon on When Should You Buy Your Kid A Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Been a computer junkie since the 5th grade, my parents never watched me, but somehow I miraculously turned out alright ;). To this day they still are clueless when it comes to computers/technology. If you teach your kids to have values and ethics, hopefully they'll make the right choice.

  6. Re:Crystal Ball Hackery on Bacteria Used to Create Nanowires · · Score: 1

    Rofl, how mallable are these wires? Perhaps (they've gotta be really weak right?) if they're strong enough they can just yank the wire out of the end of the lil pooper and put it where they want with something else.

  7. Re:SourceForge proposal... on Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World? · · Score: 1

    I could see how that could be helpful... Don't know how many times i've tried to search for something and gotten clobbered with a more common meaning of the word.

  8. Up to the user... on Yahoo Passes Google in Total Items Searched · · Score: 1

    Its great and all that they're trying to develop search engines to be so complicated, but really just give us users searching things like them handy dandys ""'s and do NOT includes, and we can do a good job ourselves :P. We don't need a search engine trying to tell us what were searching for. Hail Google!

  9. Re:SourceForge proposal... on Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World? · · Score: 1

    I've always thought google adequately searched for me. AFAIK there isn't anyone else with the same amount of resources dedicated to searching...?

  10. Re:They aren't the problem here... on Full-Motion Ads Come to Videogames · · Score: 1

    Well, if spamming is profitable, apparently the world wants it. . . . Wow were screwd....

  11. Re:The Innocents? on SpamSlayer - should we DDOS spammers? · · Score: 1

    if the bomb only killed the murderer ;)

  12. The Innocents? on SpamSlayer - should we DDOS spammers? · · Score: 1

    I hear alot of comments saying this would be a good idea, if it weren't for the innocents who would be harmed. Well guess what, Blue Security sends the ISP a notice that they have a spammer site. If they don't remove it (illegal to be hosting them anyways), then they simple have thousands browse the site and drive up the spammers bill. The ISP has every chance to protect its legit customers.

  13. Re:What shall we do? on SpamSlayer - should we DDOS spammers? · · Score: 1

    Do note, any sites that happen to be on the same node..etc won't be charged for the extra bandwith, unfortunately they will be *temporarily* slowed down. But haven't civilians always been killed in war? Hardly a sacrifice to give up your site for an hour, any site that would take major damage being down for an hour is probably so big it wouldn't be on the same network as a spammer.

  14. Re:But why hack SpreadFirefox? on Firefox Community Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    The sick thing about spamming is it wouldn't be profitable if people would stop clicking them and actually buying from them. %/ When will people learn.

  15. Re:a few starting ideas on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    I agree that children will learn when they want to. But they also learn when you DON'T want them to ;). If children have lazy parents it seems quite likely they'll learn to be lazy just like mommy and daddy. On the other hand if the parents continue their education (you can educate yourself without going to school) past their formal education, the children will follow suite.
