  1. Good job on Billions Face Risks From Climate Change · · Score: 1

    You've managed to get a global warming skepticism comment up to +5. It's pretty hard to do that kind of thing.

  2. Good idea on Amazon Patents Humans Assisting Computers · · Score: 1

    That's actually a very good idea.

  3. Re:What the bug is on Flying the Airbus A380 · · Score: 1

    Whoops.

    It was actually my brother who told me that, I blame everything on him.
    Meh, I still got Karma for it though.

  4. What the bug is on Flying the Airbus A380 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Overflow. If it's a signed short then 32768 + 1 = -1 :P

  5. Misleading headline on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Children don't find heavy metal comforting because they're gifted. They find heavy metal comforting because they've been socially screwed over.

  6. Well... on John W. Backus Dies at 82; Developed FORTRAN · · Score: 1

    He didn't exactly create LISP or anything...

  7. Re:Try Hornet music on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    A yes, Modarchive. That's where nifflas is coming from. It's just that he's gotten big enough that he's kinda branched off from there.

    If you didn't notice a lot of the stuff on the link I threw was not by nifflas, but by Modarchive people and used in nifflas' games.

  8. Here's one site with awesome free music on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    This guy Nifflas makes some pretty sweet music and games that are freely available. Check out the music section of his fanpage.

  9. Havn't I seen this before? on Rails Cookbook · · Score: 1

    I've seen so many slashdot book reviews with "rails" and "cookbook" in the title, that I could swear this book has been reviewed here already.

  10. Well duh on DRM Causes Piracy · · Score: 1

    I brought stuff from iTunes until the DRM started to piss me off. Then I learned to use utorrent.

  11. Yes on Does the Internet Need a Major Capacity Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    I pay 40$ a month for "high speed" internet and my upload to youtube is going at 9kb a second.

    'nough said.

  12. Moderation on January Game Sales Explode, Wii Dominates · · Score: 1

    70% Overrated
    30% Funny
    100% Astroturf

  13. Re:"Free" Market on U.S. Copyright Lobby Out of Touch · · Score: 1

    You people take life too seriously. BTW I was talking about the internet market, and using the term free market in a lose sense. Also the ":P" smiley means that I wasn't being too serious. I should have probably said "yay for market forces" instead. *sigh*

    I know quite well that America etc isn't a free market. I mean you can't even buy Cubans here in the states. What kind of free market is that?

  14. Re:Shameless pimping on U.S. Copyright Lobby Out of Touch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, knowing the free advertising he's going to get gives him some incentive to spend so much time writing such a wonderful and insightful comment.
    Yay for the free market :P

  15. America bashing on Suppressed Report Shows Cancer Link to GM Potatoes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This should be +5, but funny not insightful.

    America bashing != insightful.

  16. About Valentines day on Write Your Valentine On a Spacecraft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Mod this up if you dislike Valentines day. Mod this down if you like Valentines day.

  17. Re:All Aboard the FUD Train on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 1

    Ya, I agree with you there. XP SP2 is pretty damn stable and sweet. I'm typing this in it right now.

  18. Comment of the month on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 1

    I nominate this comment for comment of the month.

    I really hope it gets archived as +5 funny. Some whiny mac fanboys are modding it down.

  19. Re:Think of the children! on Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos · · Score: 1

    The gall of the two judges who wrote this opinion is incomprehensible, and their hypocrisy is sadism.
    Fixed. Or at least I can think of no other explanation.
  20. Well the truth is on Verizon Rejected iPhone Deal · · Score: 1

    They all suck.

  21. DRM can't work though on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 1

    A technical solution to piracy cannot exist, short of giving up complete and total control of your PC to the content publishers.
    DRM would be wonderful if it deterred piracy just one bit. However the truth is that DRM encourages piracy. I didn't start pirating music until I wanted to switch to another music player and found I'd been locked in.
    The principle of DRM doesn't matter because perfect DRM is impossible. It's time people just fucking realized that copyright is a stupid concept to begin with. You can create information, but you can't control it and trying to is simply destructive.
  22. Teh awesome on The Birth of Quantum Biology · · Score: 1

    The direction that the parent should be modded is up.

  23. Damn on Mossberg - Vista Is Worthy, Largely Unexciting · · Score: 1

    You win I guess. No one ever told me about Tomato Torrent though...

  24. I win on Mossberg - Vista Is Worthy, Largely Unexciting · · Score: 1
    I use a Mac, I have no need for third-party spyware hunters or virus protection.
    I use Windows. I have no need for third-party spyware hunters or virus protection. I just don't download spyware or viruses. I can also run utorrent and you can't.
  25. Graphics get easier and easier to render on PCI SIG Releases PCIe 2.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Slower than they get easier to create.
