  1. Re:latency badness on Intel Developers Demo USB 3.0 Throughput On Linux · · Score: 1

    Is firewire a good alternative without that problem?

  2. Breast-feeding illegal? on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1
  3. Size? on Oil Exploration Leads To Video of a Mysterious Elbowed Squid · · Score: 1, Informative

    I missed any mention of the approximate size of the squid. Does anyone have an idea about how large this creature might have been?

  4. Re:Can you really patent food preparation? on McDonalds Files To Patent Making a Sandwich · · Score: 1

    Their own style? Impossible! There will be no anarchy!

  5. Re:Market Forces on How Politics Interacts With Games · · Score: 1

    I love that game (and Bomberman in general. Still looking for a nice OSS version). I used to play it on Kali, which to my surprise is still in business. IPX might not be required for Kali, I am not sure it's been so long. Where do you find your opponents?

    Original PC? What's that, Win95?

  8. Re:But on MTV Bleeps Filesharing Software Names In Weird Al Video · · Score: 1

    Oh yea, and that's why you hear so much about german teens going nasty sex crazy all the time on the news. Germany, a country of pervs. Totally.

  9. Social networking privacy on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 1

    I use most of those services and only as much as I find them useful, which isn't much. It's a real time killer if you really want to engage in socializing online and there are more rewarding things to do in real life. I still protect my privacy, because if at all I only use fake credentials, highly distorted photopgrahs and tounge in cheek profile. Of course this way someone looking for you cannot find you and it isn't useful for online dating, but if you know someone on any of the social networking sites you can just browse their friends of friends of friends list or whatver for people you know and add them yourself. For me it is only a tool to keep in touch beyond email, telephone and Skype so others MMV. Mainly it seems to me you just need to keep out personally identifiable information. This is getting difficult though since your friends will (and may have already) post pictures of you passed out at parties or other situations which certain parties, like your (future) employer, might not appreciate. That is what I am more scared of, information that I do not have control over getting distributed online.

  10. Re:that link is not safe for work in some places on Malaysian Blogger On Trial For Sedition · · Score: 1

    I really hope you are not serious.

  11. Eight year old news on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    Am I missing something here or is this really, really old news. Here is an article from 2000 (in german): http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,107405,00.html

  12. Re:Original article on Genetic Glitch May Prevent Kids From Learning From Their Mistakes · · Score: 3, Informative

    So woud I, but since it's pay-per-view that's impossible.

  13. Re:Registration required? on US To Get EU Private Citizen Data · · Score: 1

    Have you even tried the link?

  14. Re:Mine is more than 4 digits... maybe on Crooks Nab Citibank ATM Codes, Steal Millions · · Score: 1

    They can, however, take a baseball bat to your head once you are outside again. Actually, most crooks will just install fake card readers in front of the real one, which records the pin stripe, at an ATM and film the keys pressed on the keypad to gather the pin number.

  15. Re:three warnings? on Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband · · Score: 1

    Nowhere does it say that you won't still get sued if caught. This is a seperate, government mandated, measure and has no impact on the possibility of media companies sueing the infringer.

  16. Re:happened to me - WEATHERBUG sold you out on How To Clean Up Incorrect Geolocation Information? · · Score: 1

    Sounds plauseable, but do you have any sources/proof ?

  17. Re:I write code like that guy on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there. You obsfucated your comment using a phonetically similar word to "sight". //unnecessary and nitpicky comment. why did i write this?

  18. Re:Worth waiting for... on nVidia Preview 'Tegra' MID Platform · · Score: 5, Informative

    Then have a look at this little machine: http://openpandora.org/

  19. Re:FUCK STEAM THOSE FILTHY COCKSUCKERS on New Free-to-Play, FPS-Centric, MMO Hits Closed Beta · · Score: 1

    I'll aggree that Steam is a piece of donkey crap. Unfortunatly CS is still one of the most playable and fun FPS games around IMO. Or have I overlooked anything?

  20. Re:Still No TimeMachine On Remote Drive on Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.3 Has Landed · · Score: 1

    Bad idea. TimeMachine cannot tell when the remotw drive is full and will act unexpectedly putting your backed-up data in danger.

  21. Re:Java???? on Scalable Nonblocking Data Structures · · Score: 1

    I just pictured 700+ worker(-threads) in front of a huge panel with 700+ switches. I think that is where assembly(-line) coding came from.

  22. Re:another os gpu project on Open Source Graphics Card Available For Advance Orders · · Score: 1

    Very interesting and much more relevant to the original article summary. I am surprised you are not modded up.

  24. Re:Not a bit afraid on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 1

    Funny, that fact alone makes me come to the completely opposite conclusion.

  25. Re:In lieu of uploading.... on Elude Your ISP's BitTorrent Blockade · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That sounds like it would track only private tracker users at best and have lots of false positives.
