    Clearly you've never been to Belgium and had to deal with Belga-fracking-com (www.belgacom.be) - anything they can do to make your day any worse, is worth doing in their book.

  3. Re:Outstanding. on UK National ID Card Cloned In 12 Minutes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I understand correctly, a U.S. Goverment Official (e.g. Police person or personette) can demand you show your ID if you aren't a U.S. citizen. How they're to know, I've no idea.

  7. Re:obPublic Service Announcement on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    I will say this: if you're fat and you don't run 5 miles a day then don't whine "it's genetic, I can't help it". You can help it, you're just not trying. Until you can run 5 miles in a hour (12 minute miles, a slow run) everyday you can't say "I can't help being fat" because you're not even trying.

    I am fat (250 lbs), got a bad knee from soccer, a permanently broken collar-bon and a pair of crushed vertebraes from a high-speed bicycle accident - I cannot run 5 miles, cannot swim, cannot go to the gym. What I can do, is eat very small amounts of food, stay constantly hungry (I tried) and still have issues loosing weight.

    Am I a fringe example? Perhaps, but you were just being an arse with that last statement!

  14. Re:Price per player on More Americans Play Video Games Than Go To Movies · · Score: 1

    I think you are on to something there - We license the games to gamers, so each player in split-screen should really purchase his/her own license and type in the license-key everytime they join a game to verify it....

  16. Re:Ownership? on Open Source's Battle In Africa · · Score: 1

    ...unless you purchase a boxed copy of you MS product in a modern, civilized country, where shrink-wrapped EULAs aren't enforcable.

    In that case, you actually OWN that box and the content and can do pretty much anything you want, except give away/sell copies of it (note: In some countries you CAN give away a copy of it, as long as you don't use the original!)

    Having seen HP getting confused when you mention HP NonStop to them (even some US/Canadian HP people contracted to support the thing), I'm not sure HP themselves really know anything about this platform.
    Then again - after 4 years, I'm pretty sure that I still don't know much of anything about it either.

    You will have some potential problems there.

    One is clock-synchronicity, where the women may eventually synchronize to a single clock, effectively removing the delay between overlaps. Another one is where the women will set up Mutexes resulting in less execution-time than if there was just 1.
