  2. Re:Busted Mythbusters Experiment... on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Was thinking about the death ray.. why not have all the multiple mirrors aimed at one fixed position. then aim that one fixed position to the target? would that not eliminate the whole "targeting" thing?

  3. If I own the cd can I download the MP3's? on Sony Doing An End Run Around Its Own DRM · · Score: 1

    If I own the CD can I download the MP3's? It's just another way of getting the same files on my computer that I can do without the hassles. If I can't why? How about VHS tapes of movies I own? Can I download copies of them because they are starting to deteriorate? Again if not why?

    Just a question, IAONAL.

  4. My letter of apology. on Charges Against High School Hackers Dropped · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm sorry. I'm very sorry that your network security is a disgrace.
    I'm sorry that your network admin staff is completely braindead.
    I'm sorry that the ADMIN passwords were taped to the back of the laptops by what must have been the single most stupid person on the planet.
    I'm sorry that likely the only thing anyone learned out of this is that 13 kids "broke in to the schools computers".
    I'm sorry that noone will ever think to FIRE the dumbass who taped the passwords to the back of the computers.

    I'm sorry that I had to write this.

    Yet at the same time Kami feels a sense of urgency about lowering the cost, saying that if automakers are unable to lower their pants and give cowboyneal the goatse, they will be a failure in terms of ass-marketability.

    Never knew cowboyneal had anything to do with the ass market.

    "Truly, the only people who deserve a complete helping of blame are the hackers. Let's not forget that they're the ones doing this to us. They're the ones who are annoying an entire planet. They're the ones who are costing us billions of dollars a year to secure our systems against them. They're the ones who place their desire for fun ahead of everyone on earth's desire for peace and the right to privacy."

    Is it just me or does this sound like a Onion story?

    Was about 16 years old, he was playing Soul Calibur, on the Cube. He took a short dirt nap, we called the paramedics, they hauled him out. He's all better now, case close.

    Actually I know people who wish this would happen to them, hell all the recent stuff out there for any platform sucks so baddly least this is somewhat exciting.

  12. You dumb ass bastards. on EB Demands Payment From Victim of Theft · · Score: 0, Troll

    EB buys new games for $45.00 sells them for $49.00. You cannot run a business on the profit of new software or hardware. Cannot be done.

    Microsoft is charging $4.99 for a Links04 update. (after you pay 69.00 per year to sign up to live service.)

    We all hate giving out identification to buy anything, what makes selling things any different?

    Sure if this was my store I would have found a way to get corporate to eat the loss. But there is no freeking way I am going to lose my pay raise for returning stolen property comes out of my store shrink. (shrink is stolen goods btw)

    Parents that drop their kids off in my store and the little bastards rob me blind, as the law protects them. Case in point, if I do not watch the little bastards from the time they enter my store to the time they leave my store with the stolen property I cannot do anything about it.. actually can't do anything about it even if they hold the dam thing up and tell me they are stealing it. Even better, if it's a minor and I were to heaven forbid TOUCH one Jesus I'd lose my house and everything cause this little fucker tried to rob me.

    Sure EB was wrong, but I do believe that asshole parents and bratty kids steal many many millions of times more from us, than this one clueless bitch lost.

    A few other random thoughs.

    Microsoft, Sony, and most PC vendors would LOVE to see EB's and Gamestops all gone. And as soon as downloadable content and broadband make it to the prime time, expect to see mall computer stores gone. Just from a profit point only, 49.00 is more than the 45.00 that eb pays them and they don't even have to press a 5 cent disk.

    When you trade your games at EB for 25.00 and you see the same game priced at 45.00 a few hours later I got some news for ya. THAT'S THE SAME MARGIN THE REST OF THE MALL IS GETTING ON EVERYTHING ELSE!

    She should get her stuff back, but watch who you boycott, otherwise your just going to fuck yourself in to the microsoft xbox pocket.

  13. This might explain some things about NASA on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    Reading about the computer on the rover I noticed this..

    "Unlike people and animals, the rover brains are in its body. The rover computer (its "brains") is inside a module called "The Rover Electronics Module" (REM) inside the rover body."

    Unlike the folks at NASA I keep my brains in my body. Though I suppose placing my brains in a rover would make for an interesting out of body experience.

    Notice one thing. All the fossils are all called "Bats" not half bats. They are all mammals, they all fly. Where is the middle of the chain. Evolution is always missing the middle of the chain.

    And just to be clear. In the same 6 billion years, Life developed in the mud, becake single celled creatures, became fish, crawled onth the land became reptials, became mammals, crawled the water took on all the likenesses of the other fish and became a dolphin? this screws the timetable .. all I'm saying is that we all could be wrong. Can I get agreement on that?

    I'ts early, need to go to work. Please excuse me if my argument was not as clear as it could have been.

  19. Re:Ummm? Faith anyone? on Questioning C-14 Dating · · Score: 1
    Parody, perhaps. But more - just a revelation that we could all be wrong, AND anything believed is done so in faith. Science has not explained creation, there is room for both camps to believe what they want and the freedom in America to express both. In the end neither camp has any facts from 6 billion years ago and other than time travel outside ones own life are we ever going to KNOW the answer.

    What is more disturbing to me is I still don't see how this is Troll material. Perhaps moon dust was disproven. big deal. The timetable still has to be screwd by flying (bats), swimming (dolphins), and duck billed mammals that lay eggs. I'm sorry Darwin WAS WRONG. So you have some new timetable that is better than the last? fine, then that is what YOU believe. but it still JUST A BELIEF, And no matter how we wish to be correct, we MAY be wrong. How many evolutionists will say that? Creationists?

    Three choices here folks.

    1: Religion

    2: Science

    3: Just don't care enough to think about this. aka.. Science. Why? Religion requires effort. It's easier to believe science because at no time are you accountable for what you believe.

    But this is prolly more Troll material. huh.

  20. Why.. Here's why on Ford Giving Free PCs to All Employees · · Score: 1

    1: Ford will lower the time employees spend on-line while at work. In my company this was a big problem.

    2: Lower the training costs, If Ford spends $200.00 (this is low) to train each employee on the office suite, this knowledge (and $) is lost when the employee leaves the company. Now the employee will have to pay for it by buying the computer when they leave.

    3: Lower Microsoft Enterprise Agreement prices for Ford. This could be where a large part of the money is coming from. An average EA for a company with just 2000 users is $190.00. (win/office/back office CAL). How much "rebate" (aka kickback) is M/S giving to Ford?

    Just my thoughts.
