  1. Re:Non fighting, non loot games... on Non-Violent, Cooperative Games? · · Score: 1

    I work 9h, plus 4h of commute. Put 8h of sleep and thats 3 hours I have at home. And I don't have that entire 3h to fuck around. And I intend to have a child yet, so yes, I don't have free time for a game that envolves politics. And nobody is complaining, we're just saying some games are for teens with lot of free time, and we're not going to play those ones.

  2. Re:*squish* Just like grape. on 1/3 of Amphibians Dying Out · · Score: 0, Troll

    There is no other solution or possible future than some sort of population control or letting huge populations of people die. It may suck, but it is inevitable. So, just relax and let it be.

  3. Re:eDonkey/eMule anyone? on Researchers Decentralize BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    There doesn't need to be someone idle awaiting. If I'm already uploading, someone should already be paying me back. ed2k is just dumb.

  4. Re:eDonkey/eMule anyone? on Researchers Decentralize BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    with ed2k I enter in the 2000th position in 2000 different queues. with torrent my download starts almost immediatly at the top speed my connection supports. I don't like the work of emule developers at the protocol, and they aren't very receptive of suggestions. I think the users voted with their downloads.

  5. Re:Bollocks on Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email · · Score: 1

    And who defines what is right or wrong? The extremes seems clearly defined, but there's not a line that divides both them. And it gets complicated when there is a trade-off.

  6. Re:I think this is a great idea. on Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And why a site like this have to be run in the USA? They could even drop these documents in a file sharing network.

  7. Re:Why is it that ... on Making Statements With Video Games · · Score: 1

    And when a corporation does something wrong, there is a lot of newspapers that hide their name if it's not already out for the public, wich I find a lot worse.

  8. Re:I can give the poor of the world energy ... on Solar Cells — Made In a Pizza Oven · · Score: 1

    If said poor is in the middle of nothing, there is a high cost to distribute energy from the coal plant to his home, making energy that can be produced localy, in smaller scale, like solar and wind, more affordable.

  9. Re:No surprise here really.. on Scientists' Success Or Failure Correlated With Beer · · Score: 1

    I wonder why someone didn't invent some drug that makes you depressed, so that your brain compensate in the other direction, and you get happier when you stop taking it.

  10. Re:No worries, mate on Linux PCs Discontinued at Wal-Mart Stores · · Score: 1

    They bought one samsung in my work because the box said it runs linux, and it had a linux driver. Then figured out it had a sucky driver installatino that only worked with some redhat distro, and only with X installed. In the end, we made it work without help of the included CD, but I'm not very happy with Samsung's support of linux.

  11. Re:How interesting.. on Microsoft Had Doubts About the 'Vista Capable' Label · · Score: 1

    In my fucking country, this bullshit mixed gas is enforced trough law. And most people don't even know that the gasoline that is sold here is different.

  12. Re:OLPC is tanking on Microsoft Wants OLPC System to Run Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Poor people don't own crops. And 3rd world doctors can pay for a normal computer.

  13. Re:NDA for patch? on Erratum Plagues Quad-Core Opterons, Phenoms · · Score: 1

    If you can pass a patch trough the gpl this way, dynamic linking should be a non-issue. I never believed that something dynamic linked was a derived work anyway.

  14. Re:Question on Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue · · Score: 1

    Why the hurry? It's been there for millions of years, it's not like it's going anywhere.

  15. Check the forum policy on How to Deal With Stolen Code? · · Score: 1

    By posting in most foruns, you have to agree that everything you post is in some type of license.

  16. Re:That's silly on How to Turn Your PC into a Mac · · Score: 1

    I only bought a whole computer once, too. Some upgrades kept very few parts of the original, like the hard disks and the monitor. Parts used to be a lot cheaper than whole computers in my country, with the way the gray market and the taxes work here.

  17. Re:Crazy Idea on YouTube Video Warned About School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Just shoot the one with a red circle/square around him.

  18. Re:Supply and Demand. on The Science Education Myth · · Score: 1

    Trust more into government? So the can steal or invest on something that isn't going anywhere just to tell they're researching.

    There is a lot of very useless researchs being done with government money. You just doesn't see these ones on the news.

  19. Re:I, for one, welcome these overlords: on Brazilian Pop Music Scene Thrives on Piracy · · Score: 1

    They are not. People dont vote for laws. A lot of them doesnt reflect the will of the majority.

  22. Re:Yes, actually. The cat does "got my tongue." on Brazilian Pop Music Scene Thrives on Piracy · · Score: 1

    Our ethics should be based on what makes our life better, and things that people can agree on.

  24. Re:American Agri-business Versus DOD on Pentagon Urges Space-Based Solar Power · · Score: 1

    Ethanol is widely used in my country and its common knowledge that an ethanol car needs something like 1.3l to replace 1l of gasoline. This is the math most people do before fueling their multifuel caras here.

  25. Re:Military needs local resources on Pentagon Urges Space-Based Solar Power · · Score: 1

    Use cars that accept multiple types of fuel. These are already the majority of cars sold in Brazil.
