  1. how... on Rubik's Cube World Championships · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...exactly, does one solve a rubiks cube while blindfolded?

    braille, perchance?

    enlighten me

  2. Re:The whole point of the patent system on Patents Chilling Effect on Science · · Score: 1

    you should only be able to patent things you have developed, or are in the process of developing, IMHO

    then it would be a race to develop things, not think of them

    a retarded 3-year-old monkey with downs syndrome could think up a space elevator, but it takes real brains to make it happen

  3. on that same note... on Patents Chilling Effect on Science · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... a patent was recently issued for "an anti-gravity device"

    http://news.com.com/2061-11204_3-5942862.html

    apparently you can get a patent on something you haven't developed

  4. Re:Hmm on American Newspapers to Begin Carrying Manga · · Score: 1
    It seems like most of the articles in the New York Times cover things I knew about a week earlier.

    surely this has nothing to do with you being a long-time reader of /.

    ...that is thoroughly annoyed by this?

  6. Re:Cheerfulness as a contractual obligation... on German IT Outfit Bans Whining · · Score: 1
    there are few things more irratating than an angry/whiny co-worker


    ironically, one of those things is an overly cheerful co-worker
  7. im wondering... on A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet · · Score: 1

    ...how such a brilliant post has no replies.

    basically what is being said is "you create it, troubleshoot it, and manage it for 30-some-odd years and then hand over control of it."

    the thing i don't understand is, there aren't any complaints about how it is being managed, only WHO manages it. nothing would really change. people just have to complain about something, and they feel they are getting screwed out of something...

  8. yes... on The CISO Handbook · · Score: 1

    ...and i saw it upwards of 10 times

    now THAT is great product association

  9. Re:Security is a myth on The CISO Handbook · · Score: 1

    true, you can never make something "secure," but you can always make it more secure, and this book teaches you how.

  10. Re:DNA Testing... on Search for Copernicus Over · · Score: 1

    i was also wondering how this was going to be accomplished

  11. i think you're wrong on Intel Mac OS X Catches Up With Older Brother · · Score: 0

    i think windows' desktop dominance is actually inversely proportional to it's own piracy

    what i mean is, back in windows 95/98 days, when OS piracy was relatively non-existant, they had upwards of 95% of the desktop market. now, when windows xp is pirated like you wouldn't believe, they are QUICKLY losing the desktop market to Linux, and now OS X.

    thats not to say apple should work harder to prevent OS X being pirated, it's merely my $0.02

  12. Re:Sony is protected by the DMCA on Sony DRM Installs a Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    so if i install it and DON'T try to remove it, can i sue them?

  15. Re:A Note to Creationists on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 1

    its obvious that evolution is very real.

    what is neither obvious nor real, is the idea that such evolution occured without at least a little creation...

  16. A.J. Liebling... on Forbes Goes After Bloggers · · Score: 1

    ...once said "Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one."

    Now, fortunately, nearly everyone "owns one."

    It seems that the select few who are used to being just that (the select few who had their voices heard/published/what have you...), are now part of the great majority and they don't like it none too much.

  17. Re:It's only a matter of time... on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    while visiting D.C. this past summer, i remember having to show my I.D. and walk through a metal detector TO GET INTO A FOOD COURT SO I COULD EAT AT SUBWAY.

    that obviously pissed me off something fierce

  18. Re:and sent 18 million spam messages on Microsoft's Vigilante Investigation of Zombies · · Score: 1

    so you should be prosecuted when YOUR machine becomes infected and unknowingly sends spam?

  19. Re:Consumerism on Everything Bad is Good for You · · Score: 1

    if you replaced "cellphones" with "ipods" i would agree with you

  20. Re:Notice no comment section on Speaker of the House Starts Blogging · · Score: 1

    i think it's a good idea not to allow comments on a "political blog" because no matter what is said, the opposite party will have a hard time agreeing with it.
