  1. First thing I do on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    is remind everyone that I'm a know it all douchebag...again!

  2. Lies! on Canadian Coins Not Nano-Tech Espionage Devices · · Score: 1

    It's a cover-up

  3. Re:No OS X Port? on TrueCrypt 4.3 Released · · Score: 1, Redundant

    o rly? How can you download source code for a utility that isn't open source. "Disk Utility" is not an open source program.

  4. Extra!, Extra! Read all about it. on Billion Dollar Handout To Upgrade TVs · · Score: 1

    The government just wants to ensure that everyone gets their recommended daily dose of propoganda.

  5. Re:You've gotta be shitting me on Canadian Copyright Group Wants iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    So by that analogy, if I go into a supermarket and regularly stuff filet mignion's into my jacket becuase I would never actually pay for it, it's o.k. right? They should just let me walk right out the door, right? Even supermarkets adjust their prices for the cost of "shrink" (shoplifting). That's part of the reason everything costs as much as is does.

  6. Re:Live bacteria on Something in Your Food is Moving · · Score: 1

    Sterilizing milk is required by law in many coutries in order to kill brucellosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brucellosis and other zoonotic diseases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis . That is why pasteurization was started. The healthy bateria are added afterwards for obvious reasons.

  7. Were the parents ever suspects? on Fighting Porn Vs. Ruining Innocent Lives · · Score: 1

    They say there were 9 images of child porn on the computer. The kid got nervous and fessed up about the playboy porn and unknowingly took the rap for one of the parents who had intentionally downloaded the kiddie porn. Just a theory, but quite plausible.

  8. Re:No problem? on The Snoop Next Door Is Posting to YouTube · · Score: 1

    So if I call all of you bitches and you mod me "troll" am I also granted forgiveness. :P Google says no!

  9. Re:What's law breaking about this? on MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents · · Score: 1

    Did you actually read through the link you provided? It applies to music and music only. http://cpcc.ca/english/privCopKey.htm anything outside of that, including movies, software, etc. is considered infringement. Careful what you advocate to people, you could land people in court.

  10. Re:I hope you're kidding on Premiere Back on Mac · · Score: 1

    "What worries me is that (especially in software) comparisons made on such archaic versions of a product are almost never relevant to the current one."

    True. But at that time that I switched to FCP there really was no comparison. So I have stuck with it since. Like I said I will buy the suite for the other apps and at least give it a try, but unless they've got some tricks up their sleeves, I will stick with Final Cut which should also have an updated version out at around the same time.

  11. Re:I hope you're kidding on Premiere Back on Mac · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree with you. My first video editing experience was with Premiere 5 on OS 9 and I was very fond of it. When OS X was released and Adobe came out with carbonized version 6? iirc, that's when I abandoned it. Ton's of crashes and instability. Making the move to Final Cut wasn't an easy one due to the familiarity that I had with Premiere, but now that I know Final Cut there's very little chance of me switching back. I will probably buy the suite for the other app's and at least try it, but I think it's too late for Adobe to make a comeback in video editing on the mac. Everyone's already moved on.

  12. Where did they get their stats? on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    If you ask any doctor if they take the word of their patients on how much alcohol they consume the majority will tell you "no" In fact most doctors automatically double the amount that their patients claim to drink. Given that, does this equal 8/day for men and 4/day for women? Something to think about...

  13. virgintracker on Cleanfeed Canada - What Would It Accomplish? · · Score: 1

    My mother-in-law once asked me about where to get some bridge games to try out on her PC. I said "just go to versiontracker.com and look around" She replied "virgintracker?" I laughed and said " NO!.....VERSIONTRACKER!" Now what would have happened if she never qustioned me and went there? She would be thinking "and that dirty bastard married my daughter!" from her jail cell right now.

    finally..., first post!

  16. Axis of Evil? on U.S. Publishes Guide To Building Atom Bombs To Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now that they have provided potential terrorists with information they might require, the U.S. has added themselves to the "Axis of Evil". George Bush wasted no time in acting and immediately attacked himself by knawing at his right hand :P

  17. Re:Open revolution?? on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 1

    Son?, is that you? Time for some target practice :P

  21. It figures! on Humanoid Robot Serves Beer · · Score: 1

    Why couldn't they have come up with this before I got married?

  22. Mac OS X Tiger on Homeland Security Uncovers Critical Flaw in X11 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Tiger shipped with (X11 1.1 - XFree86 4.4.0) and X11R6.9.0 and X11R7.0.0 are forked from that. So it could well affect Mac OS X. If it does it will be interesting to see how long it takes Apple to provide an update if at all, given that it's open source

  23. Script Kiddies on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's what kids today think is programming.
