  1. Re:My statement of cooperation on FBI Planning New Net-Tapping Push · · Score: 1

    It isn't so much that we are humor-impaired, it's that, yes, there actually are people stupid enough to make that post and believe every word of it.

  2. Re:Who should be saved? on Back to the Bunker · · Score: 1

    And what about the other slightly-less-than-one-half of the voters? They're guilty for other people's idiocy as well?

  3. Re:I think you mean Jobs's on Jobs' Glass Elevator Locks in Group Customers · · Score: 1

    And neither is Job the guy's last name.

  4. Re:Why the US has a lower piracy rate than others on BSA Claims 35% of Software is Pirated · · Score: 1

    Umm, the income rate may be lower, but saying it costs three times as much is just bullshit logic. If the exchange rate is 3 pesos to a dollar, it's because the peso is valued as being worth a third of a dollar, not because things cost three times as much.

  5. Re:Whaaah? on Paint-on Laser Brings Optical Computing Closer · · Score: 1

    Well, since electrons are matter, and there happen to be various laws of the universe that are unfriendly to matter moving at the speed of light, I'd have to say probably.

  6. Re:I cannot understand???? on Is Microsoft Silent Before a Deadly Storm? · · Score: 1

    Not flaming you per se, but one has to wonder, if you're wrong, and people flame you for it, how in the hell does that prove you right?

  7. Re:It's fairly simple on DRM More Important Than Life or Security? · · Score: 1

    Everything in life is a calculated risk. Some people simply decide that the probability of them being in a fatal car acident outweighs the near-certainty of dying from starvation when they can't buy food.

  8. Re:what is the problem with .xxx domains on DoJ Following Porn Blocker Advances? · · Score: 1

    Because, it is entirely possible for a URL to resolve to an IP address the URL owner has no connection to, and it's too hard to police whether every one only sets their URLs to machines they have control over.

  9. Re:Your comment on Google Avoids Surrendering Search Info · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he was intending to imply that the correct ruling was so obvious that no higher brain functions were needed?

  10. Re:The Pirate Bay is identical in nature to Google on The Pirate Bay is Here to Stay? · · Score: 1

    if you don't want your content indexed, either:

    A) add it to your robots.txt file

    or

    B) don't put it on a publicly accessible directory on your server

  11. Re:VB anything stings my eyes on Visual Basic 2005 Jumpstart · · Score: 1

    That could depend on what you want to do with it. The best idea I've come up with is writing a brainfuck chatbot, then porting it to C, to try and win the obfuscated c code competition. Besides, maybe Brainfuck is a good language, made by a bad programmer.

  12. Re:So that means... on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 1

    Sure, the symptoms are evangelizing and stupidity.

  13. Better idea on Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    A few of the comments on here have been saying that the game will come out on the same day as the PS3. Wouldn't it be smarter, maybe, to release it the day before? Then, everyone will have just bought a game, so they won't see the point of buying a whole new console have this new game here to play. This will cause less initial sales, and after the hype has died down, many of the people who would have bought the PS3 the first day will have decided not to in favor of something else. Just an idea.

    By the way, who are we supposed to hate more here, Microsoft or Sony?

  14. Re:Welcome to the wide world of litigation on Liability for Data Breaches are Minimal · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, mine will be ROT-26 encrypted! Beat that!

  15. Re:A step backward on Are Vertical Mice The Next Ergonomic Trend? · · Score: 1

    Do you hold your hand in the air, or does it rest on the handles? I'm suspecting you rest your hand, because otherwise you couldn't steer. The parent is talking about holding it out in the air unsupported for hours.

  16. Re:Russians eh? on WMF Exploit Sold Underground for $4,000 · · Score: 1

    Your comment is rated at 0!?

    Does no one here watch the Simpsons?

    what is the world coming to...

  17. Re:Google To Cure Cancer! on Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google · · Score: 1

    anyone want to bet Google announces it's cancer-curing feature next April 1st?

  18. Re:1234 on Generic Passwords Expose Student Data · · Score: 1

    Or LESS?
    What purpose could limiting the length serve, other than simplifying bruteforcing of passwords?

  19. Re:The American Antibiotic Addicts on Bacteria-killing Pencil · · Score: 1

    That sounds like my doctor. Never prescribes antibiotics unless strictly necessary, and usually just gives homeopathic remedies. I'm sick maybe 3 days out of a year, and never take anything except Sudafed (only when I have to).
