  1. Re:All hail on Giant Ribbon Discovered At Edge of Solar System · · Score: 1

    All hail! Ramen.

  2. Yeah, well on The Medical Benefits of Carbon Monoxide · · Score: 1

    The basic principle of the modern medicine is to modulate the poison to kill the ailment without killing the patient, no?

  3. Re:For anyone interested in a real description... on New Nanotech Helps Detect Early-Stage Cancer · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the clarification.

    On a related note, while I don't mean to discourage such research, I've been reading new line of thoughts that, as we learn more about tumor formation, early cancer detection may not be so beneficial because tumors form much more frequently and often in benign fashion than previously thought, and early detection often forces treatment that may be worse than non-treatment.

    No, I'm no medical researcher.

  4. Re:The format is all that matters on Google Takes On Amazon With Own E-Book Store · · Score: 1

    Hey, er... is your company hiring?

  5. Re:more reason for the FCC's Internet neutrality r on Internet Traffic Shifting Away From Tier-1 Carriers · · Score: 1

    "At some point their[multinational corps] power will eclipse that of all but a few countries."

    Hell, they run our country. That leaves, what, Russia and China. Saves us, you commies! You're our only hope! How the heck did this happen?

  6. Re:Advertising these days... on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 1

    Behold, all you unwashed, the spectacles of "service economy". What you expect? We can't all be scientists and engineers and film producers.

  7. Re:I'm over 35 on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 1

    Those girls are hot, though. Crazy, but hot.

  8. Re:I'm over 35 on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lawyers are suing marketers for trying to out-douche them.

  9. Re:Cloud computer on MS Says All Sidekick Data Recovered, But Damage Done · · Score: 1

    Don't buzz me, bro.

  10. Re:Patent if it's practical, publish if it's risky on Should I Publish Or Patent? · · Score: 1

    For lone/small-scale inventors, it's all academic once the lawyers are introduced. Patent system is only for corporations with fat legal dept, and the small players lose once the first suit is filed.

  11. Don't be such a wuss on CT Scan "Reset Error" Gives 206 Patients Radiation Overdose · · Score: -1, Troll

    Little X-ray never killed anybody.

  12. Re:Semi-Vegetarian on Vegetarian Spider Described · · Score: 1

    Yeah, yeah, but what you got against meat anyway? Sum wrong with you? It's cool, I'm judging or anything.

  13. Re:The problem is... on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 2

    So says the emo kid. :P

  14. Re:Semi-Vegetarian on Vegetarian Spider Described · · Score: 1

    Some of them also say chicken is not "meat".

  15. Re:WHAT!! on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    Won't work. Beowolf cluster at that point will be abhorrent to the nature so the nature will one way or another screw with it.

  16. Re:Could happen on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 1

    Well done. Philosophizing in science is usually a deadend blackhole itself.

  17. Re:That's Groovy on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 1

    Hey, a serious question. Is lady gaga a she or a transvestite?

  18. "sendthemtothekitchen" on FOSS Sexism Claims Met With Ire and Denial · · Score: 1

    The subject is one of tags for the story at the moment. ;-)

    Anyway, FOSS realm seem to require extra heavy-duty flame-proof skin, and anyone that stands out, even just by being a female, will attract the flame. OD level testosterone means extra allergic reaction to social issues like sexism.

    Apply another layer of makeup and keep plugging on, GRRRRL HAXORS! (That's how they spell these days, right?)

  19. Re:Even Russians have a mixed view of Europe on First European Commander of the ISS · · Score: 1

    I remember your posts, and I think you're a right-wing nutjob. ;-)

    But I agree, we don't like Russia, but we respect Russia. Some of us like Europe, but we definitely don't respect Europe.

  20. Re:Ted Dziuba on Ted Dziuba Says, "I Don't Code In My Free Time" · · Score: 1

    Once again, it illustrates the first rule of the Web 2.0:

    STFU.

    The second rule?

    I TOLD YOU! STFU!!!

  21. Re:Coding in your spare time shows an interest.. on Ted Dziuba Says, "I Don't Code In My Free Time" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you realize that you also need something like slashdot where you can tell all the punks to get hell off my lawn.

  22. Re:Government at its finest on Open Source Could Have Saved Ontario Hundreds of Millions · · Score: 1

    "When a corporation spends money foolishly you can shop somewhere else or quit or whatever. When the government does it you're just screwed. "

    Will this naive idiotic market-vs.-gov't shit ever stop? Yeah, gov't and market can and often do suck in practice, so we try to mix and twist to get something better/more suited for the particular subject at hand. Stop rehashing the ideological bullshit for the zillionth times.

  23. Re:Wait... on Yale Physicists Measure 'Persistent Current' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hm... I should have wrote CoE is averaged over time/space instead of "statistical"? Otherwise, stuffs can't pop in/out into "vacuum"?

  24. Re:Wait... on Yale Physicists Measure 'Persistent Current' · · Score: 1

    It's QM. Like vacuum is not real absolute vacuum, and shits zap in/out randomly. Conservation of energy will be statistical, is my guess, and they will have a catch against trying to make use of temporary disequilibrium. Like trying to steal energy from the past and the future with time machine.
