  1. Re:I don't like digital-only periodical subs on Linux Journal Goes — Surprise! — Digital · · Score: 1

    That would be the exact reason they decided to stop publishing the print version; it's damned expensive to do so, even in bulk.

  2. Re:Makes sense... on 13-Year-Old Uses Fibonacci Sequence For Solar Power Breakthrough · · Score: 2

    This takes prior art to a whole new level.

  3. Re:Shut it all off! on BART Keeps Cell Service Despite Protests · · Score: 1

    The FCC can prevent jammers from being used, but can't prevent the owners of a repeater from shutting it down. AFAIK, BART didn't jam any signals, only shut down the repeaters they had installed.

  4. Re:only gadgets on Which Company Is the Largest? · · Score: 1

    Said entertainment delivery business is so well integrated with their hardware business that it boosts the hardware business; you can't really separate out the effect.

  5. Re:What's better consumer value? on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    It's an awesome game, but doesn't provide the sheer amount of time or depth that a real game provides. That's the difference between casual and "real" games, and it's not subtle to anyone who is paying attention.

  6. Re:"About to close"? on L.A. Artist Contemplates Future Traffic Flow, With Hot Wheels · · Score: 2

    I imagine it has something to do with this design involving cars on set tracks, rather than free-to-navigate roads.

  7. Re:Will any investors care? on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 1

    Because you're bullshitting, China's GDP is nowhere near $10T according to the CIA World Factbook.

  8. Re:Easy solution on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 1

    Let's do both, then cut down Medicare and Social Security to manageable levels too.

  9. Re:are these the same scanner in use in the usa? on In German Trials, Airport Body Scanners Easily Confused · · Score: 1

    I could have sworn you're correct. I think the article was on here recently.

  10. Re:Inflation on Seigniorage Hack Could Resolve Debt Limit Crisis · · Score: 1

    Are you retarded? You're slamming people for not understanding economics while claiming that having phone service, electricity and roads have no effect on GDP. Again, are you retarded?

  11. Re:WHO?? and Why?? on OK Go Goes HTML5 · · Score: 1

    They didn't just use an HTML5 Codec, they used some features of HTML other than the video component.

  12. Re:Will it make a difference? on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    They are pyramid schemes that depend on an exponential population growth that hasn't been happening because people just aren't fucking like they used to.

    Just make condoms illegal, and this problem will disappear, you say?

  13. Re:Massacre on The Oslo Massacre and Violent Video Games: the Facts · · Score: 2

    He's confused as to the technical sets that massacre and terrorism overlap on, but he's right about one thing. It is a terrorist attack, as he did try to affect a change via fear. The media has also shied away from the term, which makes it seem like they're reserving the word for "those people".

  14. Re:But you cant use it without getting too hot? on Build Your Own 135TB RAID6 Storage Pod For $7,384 · · Score: 1

    With those gigantic fans, and the track record they have, it's probably ok.

  15. Re:Again ? on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 3

    They probably, for the most part, really want the lawsuit to go forward, as they have no problems with corruption being punished.

  16. Re:Why Isn't Anyone Slagging Cell Carrier's Securi on LulzSec Target the Sun After Phone Hacking Scandal · · Score: 1

    Because the people reporting on the stories know nothing of security...

  17. Re:A Tale of Two Countries on A Tale of Two Countries · · Score: 1

    Why should the government bother to collect taxes from people it pays? It would make much more sense to cut their pay by their effective tax rate for their salary, and save the paperwork of taking that portion of the money back from them again...

  18. Re:Meaningless gibberish isn't meaningful on Chain World — Innovative Game Design Sparks Debate · · Score: 1

    You've gotta be honest, though, even if it were slapped together, the situation that came out of this was quite extraordinary, and provides a good deal of insight into the way people think.

  19. Re:Weird indeed on Chain World — Innovative Game Design Sparks Debate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The entire thing about this has basically nothing to do with the game. It's Minecraft with some custom scripts; it says so in the article. It's the events surrounding it that make this completely fascinating.

  20. Re:Prior knowledge of the language is used on Computer Learns Language By Playing Games · · Score: 1

    They do use separations, but in their own way. Each character is a self-contained unit, separated from the others by being a different character. Each character is comprised of 5 or so different sections, each with its own function.

  21. Re:Not sure I see the point of this. on Anonymous Releases 90,000 Military E-Mail Accounts · · Score: 1

    He was appointed by Paul von Hindenberg, who was the president of the Weimar Republic and had the authority to appoint the chancellor - Hitler's official title. He was not directly voted into office.

    The US has had, and will have, bad presidents who muck around in shit they shouldn't be. That doesn't make the US an evil regime; it makes the people idiots for electing people willing to get us into sticky situations.

  23. Re:not fair to ask you to rat on yourself on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    Good luck getting a jury to agree with that assessment.

  24. Re:I don't recall... on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    Proving the existence of the note in the first place might be hard, though.

  25. Re:Cheap theater on New IMF Head Says US Must Raise Debt Limit, or Face 'Nasty Consequences' · · Score: 1

    It would not be wonderful if the US defaults on its debt. That could literally mean a worldwide economic collapse worse than the great depression.
