  1. Re:freaking me out on Who won? · · Score: 1

    Adolf Hitler won the popular vote. Actually, this isn't true. He lost three elections, and finally conviced the winner of the last (Hindenburg) to appoint him chancellor. Then, when Hindenburg died, the cabinet didn't call for an election, but appointed Hitler as the new president.
  2. Re:GC, No Vm or performance hit on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Garbage collection has no requirement for using a virtual machine. They usually show up together, but there's no technical requirement.

  3. Re:Totally useless on Quantum Cryptography Ready For Wide Adoption? · · Score: 1

    Amen. This is definitely "security by obscurity", since the quantum physics involved are obscure to pretty much everyone, including the people builing the encryption! Integer factoring is obscure, too, but it's been obscure for a very looooong time.

  4. Re:Show me the report on UN Report Downgrades Human Impact on Climate · · Score: 1

    Aerosols in this context refers to liquid particles in the atmosphere such as clouds. The reporter for the article reworded that erroneously as "aerosol sprays" because he or she only knows about aerosol hairspray.

  5. Re:Boston Commons problems on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "Tragedy of the Commons". Boston Commons is a park, and I'm pretty sure its fish stocks are already depleted.
