  1. Re:Not patenting all life... on Venter Institute Claims Patent on Synthetic Life · · Score: 1

    Well no, only American companies or those selling in America. I'm sure China won't be too bothered.

  2. Re:nothing to see here on USPTO Increases Scope Of Amazon's 1-Click Patent · · Score: 1

    Ah the beady eyed troll strikes again. :P

  3. Re:Not the first ion thruster propelled spacecraft on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 1
  4. Re:To play devil's advocate... on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    No you're clearly not trolling and one hundred percent correct. Polititians will almost always take the easy option. "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

  5. Re:I don't know what's worse on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why are we allowing people to pass laws on things they completely don't understand? It seems politicians are even worse than children in their propensity to be manipulated with scare tactics. I guess it's the only language they recognize.

  6. Re:You got it! on Thompson Declines PAX Debate, Blames Penny Arcade · · Score: 1

    You honestly think JT has any sort of logical atom in his brain?

    Logical Atoms? Yes. Any more complicated structure of which these are comprised? No.

  7. Re:er, huh? on Safemedia's CEO Tells Congress He Can Stop P2P · · Score: 1

    So wait, it blocks P2P sharing, but not BitTorrent, or it only allows legal torrents?

    By setting the evil bit on your illegal shit.

  8. Re:Evolutionary Adaption? on Forgetting May be Part of the Remembering Process · · Score: 1

    Hopefully by now she's moved house and you don't have to worry about slipping up. :)

  9. Re:What's all the fuss? on AT&T CEO Attacks Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    They might be getting paid what their market worth is but somehow this doesn't seem fair on a human level. Don't get me wrong, I love global capitalism as much as the next guy. It's just that the divide between rich a poor seems to be getting bigger through unnatural corruption of the system.

  10. Re:functionality vs design on iPhone Release Date Is June 29 · · Score: 1

    How can you know this yet? Do you own one?

  11. Re:Official "In Soviet Russia..." thread on Putin Threatens US Missile Bases In Europe · · Score: 1

    That's pretty naive of you. Iran is decades off from the kind of technology you're talking about. The weapons are being placed in those countries because the cold war has had a bit of resurgence lately. Aside from that, I'd be pretty sure that Moscow is already targeting most of Europe anyway.

  12. Re:Wouldn't the better question be... on Can Blizzard Top StarCraft? · · Score: 1

    It clearly hasn't been a waste to keep Starcraft going. They've maintained a massive userbase and strong brand loyalty. That's an enormous asset.

  13. Re:Credit where due department (Yeah To Jeff Han) on Microsoft's Multitouch Coffee Table Display · · Score: 1

    Lucky you. Posting biblical stuff usually attracts flamebait, troll and redundant mods.

  14. What is Spime? on The Internet of Things - What is a Spime? · · Score: 1

    A stupid name for something.

  15. Re:Labtop as an instrument? on The Laptop as an Instrument? · · Score: 1

    I did something very similar at my high school. I used something called fasttracker 2 which played the majority of the sound and I overlayed samples and beats by pressing stuff on a MIDI keyboard. There was also a drummer, MC and someone scratching to fill out the sound (and stage) a bit. It was good fun although completely unrehearsed and a bit of an abomination. The highlights being the MC slagging the teachers of the school. It exists on tape to this day somewhere... :P

  16. Re:The T-Shirt on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    It should say "Registered Hex Offender".

    Woo! I hope the government maintains a list so we know when an offending neighbour moves in. Then I can go round and borrow his hd-dvd's! :)

  17. Re:Always late... on Microsoft To Open Source Some of Silverlight · · Score: 1

    You're new here ar... aww forget it.

  18. Butt Munch on U.S. Puts 12 Nations On Watch For Piracy · · Score: 1

    "In addition to Russia and China, the 10 countries that placed America on the priority watch list were Argentina, Chile, Egypt, India, Israel, Lebanon, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela. Their administrations said it was concerned by a range of issues including a 'deteriorating respect for other nations and generally being a butt munch.'"

  19. Irrational on U.S. Puts 12 Nations On Watch For Piracy · · Score: 1

    the administration said it was concerned by a range of issues including a 'deteriorating protection for patents and copyrights.'

    This would carry more weight if the American patent and copyright system wasn't so screwed. Emulating American policy in this regard is probably the last thing the poeple of these countries would want their governments doing.

  20. Re:I wonder what level they are blocking? on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Never underestimate the ability of college students to solve a problem like this.

    Yah. My little brother is a student and just tunnels hit bittorrent client over http to an external proxy. Job done.

  21. Re:wait a minute on EU Moving to Ban Online Hate Speech · · Score: 1

    The kid spent his most formative teengage and young adult years in America. He mostly has an American background. For all intents and purposes he was ingrained with American culture. Get over it.

  22. Re:Instruction set != architecture on Does Moore's Law Help or Hinder the PC Industry? · · Score: 1

    I still think we could have dual mode processors that have 100% native mode performance with x86 code and on top of that a separate new architecture

    That's really an excellent concept. Perhaps it would more flexible to just implement a motherboard with two sockets, one for each architecture. That might be easier than trying to integrate them on to the same chip. This is along the lines of having both PCI and PCIe slots on todays motherboards since we're still in a state of transition with those too. Sign me up for a dozen!

    Oh dear. Slashies. Got bored of Fark did you?

  24. Re:And, as we all know... on 25th Anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum · · Score: 1

    I loved my speccy. Its the first computer I ever used (at age 5) and probably part of the reaosn I'm a software professional now. Manic Miner is still fun to play now and its amazing how you never forget how to get through the first few levels. Like riding a bike...

  25. Re:Three letters on Learning More About Linux? · · Score: 1

    Yes I don't why men have such problems just saying those three little letters to each other.
