  1. Re:Note from a VIM user... on Vim 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Using spaces as tabs is evil.

  2. Re:NSFW on Graphics Advances Make Identifying Real Images Difficult · · Score: 1

    The article is about child porn.

    Exactly what did you expect disturbing pictures in a not safe for work article about child porn would be?

    Hint: not a gunshot wound.

  3. Re:This machine replicates itself ... on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 1

    And replies about how this story is a dupe are also replicating themselves. I think we're doomed.

  4. Even real signatures are not safe on Schneier Asks Why We Accept Fax Signatures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I could easily forge my parents signatures when I was 9 (And did it a couple of time). I don't trust a penned signature, why should I trust a faxed one?

  5. SMB2... on Microsoft Giving SMB2 Talks At SambaXP · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I came here thinking I could post an easy Mario Bros joke, but it seems a gazillion Sexdecillion other /. readers thought the same, so i'll just go with a Dassault Super Mystere B2 instead.

  6. on windows? on PHP Optimized for Windows Server 2008 · · Score: 0

    Previously, PHP 'didn't run as well as it should' fixed that.
  7. Re:Not That Tough on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    Ehhh, GGP said something about color shifting between blue and yellow. I think GP is right, GGP wasn't referring to the original Game Boy. Between blue and yellow is the fucking color I call green, precisely the color of the old game boy screen.
  8. Re:4 points, in which any two vertices are connect on Mathematician Theorizes a Crystal As Beautiful As A Diamond · · Score: 1

    There was a study about old stained glass in european churches, which showed that such glass is slightly larger on the bottom. Conclusion was that glass is not stable. however, it was mentionned that maybe stained glass anufacturers just made it larger on the bottom.

  9. Good on The Future of Love and Sex - Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can't wait to get my own Lucy Liu bot!

  10. Re:Huh? on Yahoo! Answers, A Librarian's Worst Nightmare · · Score: 1

    What do Librarians have to do with this pointless rant?

    I would argue that a Librarian's worst nightmare is a book worm.

    Interesting question, you should ask it on Yahoo! Answers.
  11. Re:Road Signs? on British Village Requests Removal From GPS Maps · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Why don't you let some air out of the tyres?"

    This kid did not realize it was the top of the truck that was stuck, not the bottom!
  12. Re:Neo1973 on The Death of the Greenphone · · Score: 1

    If current estimates suggest it will be shipping in december, I think one can reasonnably suppose the next delay is scheduled for the end of november.

  13. Re:Encryption? on First 'Quantum Computer Chips' Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Ok, next time I'll include a couple smileys when trying to be funny.

  14. Re:Encryption? on First 'Quantum Computer Chips' Demonstrated · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because, in theory, quantum superposition can be exploited to provide keys of arbitrary length; since each qubit can be 0 and 1 simultaneously, put enough qubits together and you ALWAYS have the right key.
    But enven if you find the right key with this method, you can't use it because it would change the key the file was encrypted with.
  15. Re:The Orange box insult to existing HL2 owners. on Valve Reevaluates Episodic Gaming · · Score: 1

    I felt exactly the same way ten years ago, when I bought Duke Nukem 3D and there was duke nukem I & II included in the box, and I already had both. I wanted to buy only one game for a third of the box price, but it was not possible. Greedy bastards. More recently, I wanted a refund for a cd I bought, because almost every single note had already been used by the same group on they previous album. They said I could not buy only the new notes.

  16. Re:Not shabby on Google Launches Powerpoint Competition, Web Ads for Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Yes. Because the only purpose of other people using transitions and effects is to show it to me afterwards.

  17. Re:Not shabby on Google Launches Powerpoint Competition, Web Ads for Mobile Devices · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It also doesn't support transitions. Actually, I think that's a good thing. If there's one think I hate more than poorly designed powerpoint presentations, it's poorly design powerpoint presentations with over-animated special effect transitions.
  18. Re:The Neo 1973 is freer than anything motorola ha on The Rise of the Linux-Based Cellphone · · Score: 1

    And maybe this will not all be obsolete once it comes out. There has been great advance in openmoko development recently, but it is still far from being a finished product.

  19. Re:Huh? on Debian win32-loader Goes Official · · Score: -1, Troll

    Who care what it does? It has a domain called goodbye-microsoft.com, it MUST be good!

  20. Sonic on Games Had Nothing To Do With V. Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    The report, which includes a mental health history of the shooter, Seung Hui Cho, notes that during his childhood he had 'played videogames like Sonic the Hedgehog,' All Sonic games should be immediately banned from the entire world, for the safety of our children.
  21. Re:Unless on NID Admits ATT/Verizon Help With Wiretaps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We've liberated the French two times and they were selling Stinger missiles to Saddam during the arms embargo via the 'oil-for-food' program, promulgating the largest fraud in world history. Can you please remind me who put Saddam in place at first?
  22. Re:Average vs. Typical on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    to join the Army... just to get through the door, men have to do 14 push-ups. Women: 1 push-up. Boobs are a lot of weight.
  23. Re:Source on id Resolves DOSBox/GPL Issue · · Score: 3, Informative

    But you still need the original game to do this in full legality. This offer is for people who don't already own the games and want to buy it. After that I think they can use any port they want to play them.

  24. Re:Welcome on 8 Million Year Old Bacteria Thaws, Lives · · Score: 2, Funny

    I for one welcome our very very old microscopic overlords. better that way.
