  1. Methods to avoid detection. on Big Six UK ISPs Capitulate To Music Industry · · Score: 1

    Is this the only method to avoid detection or is encryting your bit torrent traffic enough to stop them?

  2. Orange Member? on Big Six UK ISPs Capitulate To Music Industry · · Score: 1

    If you are a UK Orange member, you can write to them directly to complain and tell them you are unsubscribing here: http://www.orange.co.uk/knowledgebase/webforms/contactus/formWBO.cfm

  3. Difference? on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There appears to be a very fine line between a ransoming malcontent and a fanatical whistleblower. I wonder with which brush he will be painted with when all the dust has settled.

  4. Inconceivable!! on Scientists Solve Riddle of Toxic Algae Blooms · · Score: 1

    Phosphorus which can be found in fertilisers causing algae to grow?! What next? The sun is hot?

  5. Anarchy! on Oyster Card Hack To Be Released, In Good Time · · Score: 1

    Once the London Underground is extended to Holland there will be anarchy!!1!

  6. Hello! on Watchmen Movie Trailer Is Out · · Score: 1

    ...and welcome to last week.

  7. Re:uh, wtf? on China Races To Clean Up Olympic Air · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What most people forget is that the Olympic Games isn't an alturistic event run by the goodness of people's hearts. It's a commercial event run by a very money hungry organisation. People question impartialness of judges.. but the judges are really no more than members of a very large board of a very lucractive company.

  8. an average of up to 4,000 stars on Newly Discovered Young Galaxy Creates 4,000 Stars Per Year · · Score: 1

    Either it's producing UP TO 4000 stars or it's producing AN AVERAGE of 4000 stars, surely?

  9. Re:Lesser evil on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The United States DID vote for the lesser evil. Unfortunately the Greater Evil's relative had appointed the judges in the crucial state!

  10. Re:Bills on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 1

    If you're given a pie that's _only_ 10% poisoned, would you think it's ok to eat it?

  11. If it's like any other Google beta product... on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 1

    Expect it to get better in about a year and a half.

  12. Re:Choose them all under one. on Same Dev Tools/Language/Framework For Everyone? · · Score: 1

    Have you heard of knowledge transfer? If you get hit by a bus, who else knows about what you've been working on? One of the best skills an analyst/dev can have is risk management. You have been measured and found wanting.

  13. I'm a /.er reader and ... on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    i think c# and M$ products are rubbish.. blah blah blah... Get a new line guys.

  14. Also on Prominent Mathematicians Rebuke Recent Riemann Hypothesis Proof · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough, this rebuke has also disproved what is known as the "Reindeer Effect"

  15. News just in... on Using AI With GCC to Speed Up Mobile Design · · Score: 1

    ABCs are using XYZs to further their ability to RSVP that are SWALK ASAP.

  16. Thank kermit for this one... on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    I guess we take all our minerals for granite.

  17. Re:Impressive on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    Can you just image what Japan would be like if murdering midgets with slices of pizza made from the kneecaps of unicorns was legal there? TEH AW3SOME!!!1

  18. The solution.. on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 1

    Just never leave the States. It worked for G.W.Bush... until he became president.

  19. At last! on Probable Water Ice Sighted On Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Astronauts will be able to make Long Island Ice Tea on Mars without having to ship expensive ice all the way from earth!

  20. Re:Wow, What A Revelation. on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's also good to see that they can think the same. Both can spew sexist rubbish.

  21. Don't buy an Aeron chair... on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    If you fart while sitting on one, you will quickly discover there is no seat cushion to absorb the smell.

  22. Re:Does RSI exist? on Microsoft Study Says Repetitive Strain Injury Costs $600m · · Score: 1

    She's not unsympathetic to their obvious pain, just that a lot of what is labelled "RSI" isn't RSI. However I understand what you're saying about historic RSI. I heard the real reason King Arthur couldn't find the holy grail was because of RSI.

  23. Re:Does RSI exist? on Microsoft Study Says Repetitive Strain Injury Costs $600m · · Score: 1

    I think the long-and-short of it is that a lot of it is something else that is blamed on RSI.

  24. Does RSI exist? on Microsoft Study Says Repetitive Strain Injury Costs $600m · · Score: 1

    A psychiatrist friend of mine has a whole section in her website on whether RSI even exists. http://www.lucire.com.au/writers_cramp_main.aspx

    ...fasting cures fattiness.
