  1. Re:Fire that marketroid! on Google Introduces, Then Scraps, Bing-Style Background Images · · Score: 1

    Hey Slurm is very honest and direct in their marketing.

    Slurm, it's highly addictive.

    As opposed to Coke, it's the real thing. Bah, if it was the real thing it would be highly addictive.

  2. Re:Why so long? on FTC Bombs Massive Robocall Operation · · Score: 1

    I know jail is not a good solution except to keep harmful people away from society ( and its over used for that even ), but not sure a month or two of probation would really hit home to anyone.

    Oh, you mean the ones at the top, yea buy the bullets and maybe find one of their old employees to do the deed, they'll probably do it for peanuts or in exchange for real job.

  3. Re:Why so long? on FTC Bombs Massive Robocall Operation · · Score: 1

    How do they find workers for this, and why are the workers not turning in the company?

    I know it may be hard to find work in some parts of the country, but damn get some morals.

    I would support jail time for all involved from top to bottom. Maybe just a month or so for those at the bottom, but at least something, and of course years for those at the top.

    No, greys as in grey hair, he got the joke.

    How did you get informative for that one?

    Just because someone may be good at breaking in, doesn't mean he knows how to secure the systems he is entering.

    They need to use him for breaking into stuff, it's what he's good at apparently.

    I guess its just not PC to state that he is a complete raving lunatic who believes in aliens.

    Not that you need to be a complete raving lunatic to believe in aliens mind you, but that is basically his defense.

    Like the US would have control over any aliens that stop by.

  9. Re:Doing in a lab is one thing on Cloth Successfully Separates Oil From Gulf Water · · Score: 1

    Making a bigger kaboom is much easier than trying to figure out how to plug up a hole in the bottom of the ocean spewing crude oil.

  10. Re:Making Shit Up on RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion · · Score: 1

    It's funny how made up numbers always seem to round out.

    There were 200,000,000 not 193,064,901?

    I think it shows that they really have not done their homework and they are pulling these numbers completely out of their ass.

    I think they should be required to justify every single penny that they are requesting. Every penny, hell with that $750 per violation, actual damages, not punitive damages.

    Here is why BP needs to be boycotted beyond what the other oil companies deserve.

  12. Re:Let's summarize the summary a bit on Military Taps Social Networking To Hunt Insurgents · · Score: 2, Informative

    If blowing things up in Afghanistan solved the Afghan problem, there wouldn't be an Afghan problem anymore. It didn't work for the British, it didn't work for the Russians, and not it's not working for NATO.

    It worked for the Afgans with foreign invaders. They blew their enemies up and eventually the enemies left, but then they went after each other.

    Perhaps the Afgans should quit blowing people up in general. Someone needs to stop, and if the Afgans had stopped then the US probably would not have had a reason to invade. If the US stops blowing up the Afgans then they will just go back to blowing up each other again/still.

    Pff, well I'm going to patent water. Try having your rain without any water. =P

  14. Re:"Splunk"?!?!? on Human Gene Patent Challenged In Australian Court · · Score: 1

    Way to keep perpetuating the stereotype that geeks can't make a worthwhile argument and tend to get upset about relatively trivial bullshit like product names.

  15. Re:Absurdly obvious on Venture Capitalists Lobby Against Software Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lots and lots of them actually.

    Just the venture firms invest in what those companies would purchase instead of investing directly into the big names.

    Now if those little firms did not hold patents would the large companies just copy the little guy?

  16. Back to the Future 2 on HP Gives Printers Email Addresses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now when you are fired your boss can let your kids and wife know by printing out You're Fired from all the printers in the house.

    Next step, make this the plot the line of the next James Bond film. After that you'll have a real hard time convincing the general public that its not true.

  19. Re:Validation or desperation? on Lord of the Rings Online To Go Free-To-Play · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cause if you can charge, you will.

    Much like Everquest ( yes it is still around ), they charge a monthly fee, but you can also purchase ornaments and other items that don't majorly change the game dynamics. It's not like you can buy a sword of awesome +5, just something that makes your sword look more awesome.

    I haven't ran across step 9 yet or for that matter step 5.

    I tend to do step 4 prior to the install so its ready for when I do connect to the net then I do step 2.

    I also don't go to the extend you do on step 4 considering that malware and spyware are the same damn thing and tend to be incorporated into the anti-virus now.

    Simple answer no.

    They are not taking everything that makes up a video card and putting it all on the chip, they are just integrating some GPU like functions into a CPU.

    There should be a constitutional amendment that makes recording of public servants a protected right.
