  1. Re:The real summary on MIT Finds 'Grand Unified Theory of AI' · · Score: 1

    "... a legitimate AI researcher, not some kooky fringe AI."

    What's the difference? What are some good definitions of AI, something that's not a semantic trolling?

  2. Re:Slow news day on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 1

    Stupid name, too.

    But hey, who am I to get in the way of another dead horse flamefest.

  3. Slow news day on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ugh! Naked troll story.

  4. FOOLS! on Taking Apart the Energizer Trojan · · Score: 3, Funny

    it even lists what appears to be the author's name -- 'liuhong' -- in the source!

    That's what liuhong wants you to think!

  5. Re:it failed because it's bullshit technology on 15 Years of Microsoft Bob · · Score: 1

    "Bullshit technology is defined as tech that appears to be doing something useful but you end up wasting more time with it than you'd ever save."

    All of us who implemented status bar are guilty. Oh, you know it's true - it shoots from 0 - 99.999% in 2 second, and then hang for 5 minutes for the last bit.

  6. Re:To quote the great Bob Saget on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    Hence we need to ban more stuff.

  7. Re:Hmm... on Rapidshare Trying To Convert Pirates Into Customers · · Score: 1

    You don't need to "try". It just happens when you get old.

  8. Re:Israel, not Turkey, deserves the European Union on Israel's Supreme Court Says Yes To Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Whatever. Cut off our aid so that they can do what they'd like, and we won't have to care.

  9. On the other hand on US and Russia Conclude Arms-Control Treaty · · Score: 1

    Russia agreeing to reduce nukes may mean they have become more confident in their conventional weapons capacity, unlike in the 90s when their economy was in free fall.

    Still nuke reduction is a good thing, I suppose.

  10. Nice headline on China's Great Firewall Infects Other Countries · · Score: 5, Informative

    The headlines now tell you absolutely nothing about the actual stories.

  11. Re:This is hilarious on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 2

    Or at least blow it on hookers. And blow.

  12. VMWare alternative on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    Similarly, you could build an customized VMWare image and package it with free VMWare player offering.

    But you'd need a Windows license if you want a Windows image.

  13. Re:Many other explanations on BC Prof Suggests Young Children Need Less Formal Math, Not More · · Score: 2, Funny

    "It is humbling to have a PhD in Engineering, and not be able to understand Grade 6 math homework."

    Information economy only works if you have mega army to enforce it.

  15. BUT THERE IS MORE! on Millions Continue To Click On Spam · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I continue to complain "SLOW NEWS DAY!" like that makes any differnece.

    On the other hand, taco can post a "new" story pointing out this comment: "oldhack continues to complain."

  16. Re:Targetting on First Anti-Cancer Nanoparticle Trial On Humans a Success · · Score: 1

    Do normal cells have the receptors on the surface also? If so, are they distinct from those on tumor cells?

  17. Targetting on First Anti-Cancer Nanoparticle Trial On Humans a Success · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How do they direct them into tumor cells?

  18. "Minor" correction on Child Receives Trachea Grown From Own Stem Cells · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The headline would be correct if we can synthesize the collagen molding and do away with the need for donor organ.

  19. Logical progression on Indian Military Hopes to Weaponize the Searing "Ghost Pepper" · · Score: 2, Funny

    India had weaponized chili peppers long ago - it's called Andhra cuisine.

  20. Re:OMG on China Hits Back At Google · · Score: 1

    Yep, cuz, you know, we would nuke the motherfuckas from the orbit, I swear.

  21. PR Stunt on China Hits Back At Google · · Score: 1

    The whole thing smells like a PR stunt. Google still maintains sales office and R&D center in China. What, those won't get hacked by the Chinese?

  22. Stinks of sales bullshit on Scientists "Print" Human Vein With 3D Printer · · Score: 0, Flamebait
