  1. Bloat... on Firefox 3.0 Makes Leap Forward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Pointless extra bloat (like this) is the reason I still use Firefox 1.5. It's fast, and has all the features I need, and unless these conditions improve, I can't imagine why I would try to fix something that wasn't broken.

  2. Re:Early in the late 1910s? on World Population Becomes More Urban Than Rural · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Um... Sometime in between the later part of the 1910s (1915-1919) and the earlier part of that (1916-1917)

    I don't see what was so hard to understand about that...

  3. Empirically on Where Do You Go For Linux Training? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you really want to be proficient with an OS, the only way to really do it is through experience. In school, I took a class where I learned how to use MS Office (I've been to hell and back a few times), and after the semester, do you really think I understood how to use it?

    Same goes for Linux. The only reason I know how to use it (fairly) well is because I've been using it for a few months.

    I suggest you have your teams just start trying stuff and looking online (I know, I know) for reference.

    I would like you to take a look at the very first comment to your journal.

    Thanks,

    I really wish I had mod points. Mod parent up! I don't care if it's an AC, that was teh funney =)

  6. Owned on Fake E-Mail Results in Angry Apple Shareholders · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think an 'owned' tag would be appropriate. =)

    Oh Yeah? Well, take THIS!

  9. Re:You gotta wonder... on Disney - Blu-ray's Fair Weather Friend · · Score: 1

    Quite frankly, I never would have noticed that had you not pointed it out. That being said, I don't think it would make a difference anyway.

    Retirement? This kid isn't even 30.

  11. Trial on Reiser Murder Case Gets Stranger · · Score: 1

    It's interesting that this news should come out only 3 days before his Trial is set to start back up.

  12. I wonder... on Wally Schirra Dead at 84 · · Score: 1

    The Treating the Dead article just popped into my head upod reading this, and I though to myself: I wonder if those ideas could have been applied here to help save him.

    RIP, Wally.

  13. Re:CNN Did a story about this ... on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    Well, 640 calories should be enough for anybody.

  14. Re:Ever hear of the "Sixth Sense" on DARPA Working on Spidey Sense for Soldiers · · Score: 1

    I realized I phrased my post poorly. I meant for the examples in parentheses to both be attributed to thinking about the game. The former idea (thinking about something other then the game...) was too broad, so I didn't provide one for that. I see how my sentence could, however, coould be misconstrued.

  15. Re:Ordinary and obvious? on Vonage and Verizon — Prepare for Round 2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Aren't they basically the same thing? If it's obvious, there will probably be prior art, just because of its obviousness. And, if there's prior art, and these two companies developed systems parallel to each other, as well as other companies, it's probably an obvious invention/solution.

  16. Re:Ever hear of the "Sixth Sense" on DARPA Working on Spidey Sense for Soldiers · · Score: 1

    For instance, If three kids are playing hide and seek, statistically, the kid who thinks of something else other then the game will be less likely to be found then the one who is thinking about the game (Why it's taking so long, or "OMG HES RIGHT ON TOP OF ME!!11")

    I'm young enough to pretty much confirm this, though I don't have a link to prove any of it. Anybody?

  17. Nothing New on Buildings Could Save Energy By Spying On Workers · · Score: 1

    This tech has been used in my high school since I was a freshman. It's basically just a bunch of motion sensors (In my case, attached to soda machines. They turn off when nobody's around). The article is making this out to be a lot more high tech then it really is. It's nothing new.

  18. Re:a couple questions on New Submarine Cable Planned Between SE Asia and US · · Score: 1
    Why must such a link be terrestrial/oceanic? Why not use satellite links?


    A low tech solution is almost always better then a high tech one, if possible. Not only does this make it reliable, but also easier to fix, etc, etc, etc. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)


    Also, as an added bonus, it's faster and less susceptible to interference, etc., and, therefor, the better tech in this case anyway.

  20. Re:the real solution made apparent on Human Blood May Contain A Cure For AIDS · · Score: 1

    I concur. I've been on a low carb diet for 10 weeks, and I've lost 50 pounds. I'm in great health, put on muscle, etc, etc.

    Although, I am only 16, and the stress of losing that much weight this early in life may not be good, but the diet definately works.

  21. Re:Settle != guilty on Details of Microsoft's Settlement With Iowa · · Score: 1

    I read that as "Warm up your penis."

    Although, getting money from Microsoft does seem rather Orgasmic ;-)

    If we could get these things to cover the heart or lungs, we'd have a nonstop flow of electricity that we could use. Just a thought.
