    Spaceballs?! There goes the planet!

  2. Re:Um, no on Should There Be a Sci-Fi Category At the Oscars? · · Score: 2

    Never having seen Dances with Wolves or Ferngully the Last Rainforest, I even enjoyed the plot of Avatar when I went to see it. I was convinced it would be the new Star Wars, then I came out of the cinema and everyone thought it was shit. I still thinks it's brilliant though, in my own little world...

  3. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Maybe you're more of a pushover,but if some random stranger tried to kick me in the nuts, I'd be at his throat.

    Of course I'd defend myself. You don't seem to be able to seperate out self defense from violent retribution / an excuse to kill people.

    It's certainly not entitlement to expect to be able to protect oneself from bodily harm.

    Which is not what I claimed. There are plenty of circumstances where protecting yourself from bodily harm does not necessitate shooting at people.

    I'm always up for kicking other people in the nuts if they're going to exercise "self control" and not retaliate.

    The fact that you enjoy assaulting people that you think won't defend themselves speaks volumes about your attitude towards this.

  4. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The unstated major assumption here is that if someone gets pissed, they are not only entitled to shoot guns into populated areas, but that it is an uncontrollable response. Kind of like rapists aren't at fault if women wear short skirts.

    If someone kicked me in the nuts, or prevented me from killing a pigeon, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel that entitled me to fire bullets towards a busy highway, because not being 5 years old, I've learnt basic self control. Lack of self control is one of the fundamental reasons children aren't allowed to wield firearms.

  7. soup-to-nuts on Linux Of the Future May Be About Which Environment, Not Which Distribution · · Score: 1

    The phrase "soup-to-nuts" sounds like a category of porn based around a genital scalding fetish.

  8. Re:10000 sheets per workbook? on LibreOffice 3.5 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    i find when i get up to about 100 sheets of no more than a screen full of data each, it takes so long to save the workbook, i just start a fresh one to break it into manageable chunks. 10000 would probably take longer than the heat death of the universe to save.

  9. Re:Astronomical distances and poetry on New Horizons: One Billion Miles From Pluto · · Score: 1

    This assumes that whatever medium the universe exists in is subject to entropy and causality as we understand it. There could very well be no meta-clock. The metaverse may be infinite and timeless. Our universe could exist, fixed and determinate with it's entire timeline laid out like a 4 dimension film reel. We experience movies one frame at a time, but the entire reel exists no matter what frame you're looking at.

  10. Re:Astronomical distances and poetry on New Horizons: One Billion Miles From Pluto · · Score: 1

    I heard the visible universe is 13.7billion light years across, and the full universe is finite but boundless (toroidal in 4 dimensions, total number of dimensions unknown) with a 78 billion light year circumference. I think I got that from AstronomyCast and I can't remember how certain that hypothesis was.

  11. Re:Astronomical distances and poetry on New Horizons: One Billion Miles From Pluto · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Time isn't infinite. When the universe was at minimum entropy, time began. When the universe reaches maximum entropy, time ends.

    Good god, you are an ignorant fuck. I could tear this bullshit to pieces, but what is the fucking point.

    Strange how an immature jab is indistinguishable from an earnest profession. It's almost as if the beliefs themselves are patently immature.

    if the server is doing the decryption, then all you have is their word that they won't access your decrypted files, or allow authorites to sniff their network for encryption keys. I thought the idea is that the client does the encryption/decryption, and all the server sees is encrpyted blocks.
