  1. Re:Appstore apps are too limited on The Realities of Selling On Apple's App Store · · Score: 1

    Kids these days, with their fancy fart programs for expensive telephones.. Back in my day when we wanted to make a fart sound we had to eat beans, wait few hours and push! Nowadays all you have to do is push a button! Kids these days have it too easy...

  2. Re:China is the real enemy on China's New Military Space Stations Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Two things : Everybody who has a button can have their finger on it, it doesn't make them any closer to pushing it, mostly when they have no reason, furthermore when it would be suicide. Secondly, the Chinese people do have their finger on the button to make their regime go off. Surely it would be no easy button to push, but more and more people are as we speak joining to push it, and it seems that 2009 is the year we'll see how far these guys can push it.

  3. Re:You know whats ironic? on China's New Military Space Stations Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    What shall we call that, "trickle-up geopolitics"? Starve a foreign population in the hope it yields the desired effects on their political regime? Sounds good to me, now if you'll excuse me I have to go undermine the Talibans and weaken Al Qaeda by buying dope from Colombia instead.

  4. Re:The answer is obvious on What To Do With Old USB Keys, Low-Capacity Hard Drives? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Also, load them with a copy of Wikipedia that includes all the historical events and innovations and discoveries of the last 50 years, wait till they find out how to read that, and watch how you modified the course of history, you know, for teh lulz.

  5. Re:Chuck'em out on What To Do With Old USB Keys, Low-Capacity Hard Drives? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nonsense, when it comes to software engineering there's no such thing as obsolescence, and mostly not within a matter of years.

  6. Re:useless! on Cheap Scanners Can "Fingerprint" Paper · · Score: 1

    No, I'm afraid you missed the point of this. The point isn't to identify a leak from a scan found in the wild, but rather to identify the origin of a paper that a forensics team would be in possession of, as to prove its authenticity. If you RTFA you would have read that it actually takes four scans of the document rotated by 90 degrees (so the light angle is different) to build that "fingerprint".

  7. Re:What kind of agenda is that? on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    So why don't other liberals in other countries do the same? Why are "liberals" in the UK this isolated in that regard?

  8. What kind of agenda is that? on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    I really still don't get it, why are the ones who are supposed to be liberals doing such things? I could understand if a douchebag like Cameron wanted to turn the UK into what the Labour party is turning it into, but why does the Labour party do that? Since when is that sort of agenda anything like the liberal agenda? Socialists in France aren't pushing for anything even vaguely similar, neither are the Social Democrats in Germany or the centre-left coalition of Italy, or anywhere else I know of where the main liberal movements stick to a liberal agenda, which, while controversial, is certainly nothing oppressive.

    So where on Earth did these guys get their agenda from? Why the fuck are they pushing for stuff like that? What's wrong with these people? That's not how being a liberal is supposed to be. Someone please explain, and please don't bother with the libertarian drivel about big evil governments who want to enslave mankind, I want a good explanation, not some bullshit feel-good "you see, we were right, they're all evil except us" crap.

    Fuck a dichotomy, Ireland is pretty cool :).

  10. I can *SO* relate to that! on Robot Love Goes Bad · · Score: 1

    Ever had a super needy girlfriend that demanded all your love and attention and would freak whenever you would leave her alone?

    Oh yeah, pfft, all the time, sometimes even more often!

    Irritating, right?

    Sure, the first few dozen times.. Then you get used to it, you know..

  13. Correlation, causation, education... on UK Government Ads Link Games With "Early Death" · · Score: 1

    In other news the education level in the UK reaches a new low, but I'm sure you could tell by this summary already.

  14. Re:Piracy? on Why TV Lost · · Score: 1

    There are like tens of millions of people who pay this fee. Do the maths. Hint : a multiplication is involved. And an equal sign.

  15. Re:VOD on Why TV Lost · · Score: 1

    Yup, same here, we used to carefully VHS some shows and watch them in crap quality, now even tivoing sounds retarded, why even wait for the programme to be broadcasted when you can just find it on megaupload.com, and open the .part file with VLC like it's streaming (yeah, no Hulu here, it's Europe). In a few years from now everybody will be watching VOD online for free one way or another, ditching TV and its boring programming, while however missing the convenience of actually having to choose what you want to watch rather than vetoing what you're being fed.

    ...and one LCD. And buttons. And one D-pad. And speakers. And one power supply...

  17. Pimp My Trooper on Solar Power Pre-Deployment To Afghanistan? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Make him stick a hole bunch of tiny solar panels onto his helmet and chest. Entertainment > your actual job. If I was him I'd hold a solar panel umbrella with one hand and replace my M4 with a stereo and hold it with the other hand. And replace his ammo with mixtapes.

    Also, don't they have, you know, electricity in camps? Or does every soldier who wants to listen to his iPod has to bring his solar rooftop with him?

  18. Re:Gives moral justification to abortionists on Obama To Reverse Bush Limits On Stem Cell Work · · Score: 1

    But if life starts with spermatozoids (after all why not, these are about as sentient and lively as a fertilised egg), then even wet dreams are a crime against humanity!

    And if she swallows it, I guess that's a cannibalistic genocide?

    Now look at the camera, smile and say "OMG is that a real eyeeeee?" *blink!*

  24. Re:this art is lame, and uninspired on DNA-Radio, Tune In To Your Chromosomes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, here's a better idea : play a note, if A is the next note, go down 4 semitones, if T, go up 4, if C, go up 2, if G, go down 2.

    Then elaborate by adding rules, wrap around min/max notes (you don't want it to end up too low or high), and if a certain sequences appears then do something special, or even use pairs of letters to have more options.

  25. Re:Quite a long and interesting article... on The Lower Atmosphere of Pluto Revealed · · Score: 1

    Yep, it's kind of sad someone should think they're not as worthy as other men, mainly when the other men in question are like this!

    Actually, the funny thing is, a lot of girls who are in a serious relationship with some of these douchebags have themselves self-esteem issues, and believe they already have more than they deserve, which is why they'll stay with the scrotewanks they've got.

    Ah.. the discrepancies between what people perceive of themselves and what people actually perceive of them..
