  1. Re:Not necessarily on BD+ Successfully Resealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just curious, but why did they hate MUDs so much? It's not like they are traffic intensive or anything? Was it because it wasn't academic?

  2. Re:Congratulations! on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 1
    Famous last words: "Nobody will ever need more than 64 bits."

    I kid, I kid...

  3. Re:Exactly on 21 Million German Bank Accounts For Sale · · Score: 2, Informative

    Trust me, nobody even uses them here.

  4. Re:Old News. on Copper Thieves Jeopardize US Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    Obviously the price of copper has only recently dropped because so many people are recycling it. Way to go recyclers!

  5. End of Eternity on New Asimov Movies Coming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not sure how I feel about a Foundation movie/s. Perhaps it could be done but I think the epicness of the books might be hard to match though. However, if ever there was an Asimov novel that I thought would make a good movie, it's End of Eternity. Incredibly awesome plot, while still small scale enough to easily make a good movie. In any event, I highly recommend the book to anyone who hasn't seen it.

  6. Re:not anime friendly on Triple-Engine Browser Released As Alpha · · Score: 1

    You are full of horseshit. VLC or mplayer are capable of handling MKV with subs just fucking fine. Truthfully, if you're using something other than VLC or mplayer, regardless of your OS, you're an idiot.

    Touché good sir.

    Oh the irony is sickening. All he did was state his apparently uncommon opinion and he gets modded troll?

  9. Re:I always look forward to new Fedora Core's on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 1
    From my other post down below:

    Just a little pet peeve, but it's just F10, not FC10. ie, Fedora 10, not Fedora Core 10. The "Core" was dropped quite a while ago.

  10. Re:Distro comparison? on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

  11. Re:Why can't I use my hardware? on Apple DMCAs iPodHash Project · · Score: 4, Informative

    FYI, if you install Rockbox on your ipod you can use it to play oggvorbis and flac files too. That's what I do myself, and it's also the reason I'd never get a new ipod.

  12. Re:Jet tehcnology can't do it ever on MIT and NASA Designing Silent Aircraft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the problem with setting an unrealistic goal but still achieving *some* progress is what?

  13. The question we should all ask... on Most of Woolly Mammoth Genome Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    Sure cloning a mammoth would be cool, but I think we all need to ask ourselves some important ethical questions beforehand. For instance, will it run linux?

  14. Re:Why go after Mozilla? on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 5, Funny

    Damn, I was hoping that'd be a link to the wikipedia page for wikipedia.

  16. Re:1 out of top 10 runs Windows! on New Top 500 Supercomputer List · · Score: 1

    That's a fitting signature if I ever saw one.

    While you are indeed correct, anal retentiveness has no place in humour...

  19. Icecream. on Distributed Compilation, a Programmer's Delight · · Score: 2, Interesting
    If you are interested in distributed compiling, you may want to check out icecream. http://en.opensuse.org/Icecream

    It's similar to distcc, but with some notable benefits.

  20. Re:What the fuck? on (Useful) Stupid BlackBerry Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Hell yes, superb idea. I bet more people would be able to take the time to respond insightfully on fridays too.

    Please stop personifying nature. Seriously.

  22. Re:What Rights? on EU Will Not Divulge Microsoft Contracts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The mere fact that so many people have a reversed understanding of who works for who when it comes to government is scary.

  23. Re:What Rights? on EU Will Not Divulge Microsoft Contracts · · Score: 1

    If you prefer not having rights, then move to fucking china and stay out of our way already.
