  1. title title on New Font Uses Holes To Cut Ink Use · · Score: 1

    what's the different between an emo and an eco?
    an eco uses less ink; otherwise they are the same.

  2. possible on Australian Court Lets Lawyer Serve Papers Via Facebook · · Score: 1

    we need cryptology based authentication, signature and receipt.

    none of this OpenID or Facebook Connect crap. God damn it it has been 30 years since they solved the problem theoretically.

    also, what is his favorite color?

  6. Re:Predictive power of evolution! on Convergent Evolution Upends Honeyeaters' Taxonomy · · Score: 1

    it's safe to question about Gravity Theory at the time of Big Bang; or the Bang itself.

  7. sure on Computer Models and the Global Economic Crash · · Score: 1

    at this speed of money supply, all the computers deal with money will soon overflow.

  8. Re:But.... on Australian Court Lets Lawyer Serve Papers Via Facebook · · Score: 5, Funny

    some time traveler screwed it up.

  9. recent examples on The End of Individual Genius? · · Score: 1

    Andrew Wiles (Fermat's last theorem)
    Grigori Perelman (Poincaré conjecture)

    they had to isolate themselves, because the problems are too hard.

  10. B.S. on The Economist Suggests Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 1, Troll

    What kind of economists are they? Never heard of the "Broken Window Theory"?

  11. Re:Obstruction == Fired on Does Obama Have a Problem At NASA? · · Score: 1

    You mean Democrat governments must be quite good. How about California? How about Chicago? Etc. Etc.

  12. Re:Frankly on Does Obama Have a Problem At NASA? · · Score: 1

    we don't know what the optimal climate is

    the climate of the 70s.

    DUH.

  13. it's all coffee's fault on Waste Coffee Grounds Offer New Source of Biodiesel · · Score: 1

    If we ban coffee, the world energy demand would drop to 10% of current value.

  14. heh on Canadian Groups Call For Massive Net Regulation · · Score: 1

    In Capitalism, men exploit men.
    In Socialism, it's the other way around.

  15. really? on Nobel Winner Says Internet Might Have Stopped Hitler · · Score: 2, Insightful

    if Hitler had the technology we have today, maybe he would've conquered the whole world.

  16. Re:Unconstitutional on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    that(tax stamp) was overturned for being unconstitutional, and weed was legal for a while before they found another way to ban it.

  17. Re:I take a Libertarian POV. on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    and if you don't mind doing some blow, you might become the President some day.

  18. Re:No, how about... on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    Funny that you mention it. To pass the Prohibition they had to amend the constitution, because CLEARLY it would be unconstitutional otherwise. There is absolutely no question to anybody in that era about the "Enumerated Powers". Feds wants new jurisdiction? Put it in Constitution first.

    However later the Supreme Court found that the "Interstate Commerce" clause is enough to grant Feds unlimited power. You grow some grass in your own backyard for personal consumption - yep, that IS Interstate Commerce. Because nine walking corpses somewhere said so.

    Therefore you can kiss your "State Rights" goodbye for good. There is hardly anything that is not "Interstate Commerce" if the standard is so low.

  19. Re:Watergate is a God Damned Hotel You Turds on Obama's "ZuneGate" · · Score: 1

    Language evolves. Where do you think all those -ing -ed -s -tion -ly -est etc. etc. come from? If -gate becomes an inflextion of the English language, so be it.

  20. pot and kettle on What the Papers Don't Say About Vaccines · · Score: 1

    Slashdot charging others with selection bias? LOL.

  21. Re:not able to be used == not useful on A Quantum Linear Equation Solver · · Score: 1

    At the very least it can be regarded as pure math, and it can be quite interesting.

    On the other hand, the fundamentals of quantum mechanics are still very muddy, quantum measurement is very un-well-defined, nobody has any idea how many qubits you can put together before the system becomes a decoherent macroscopic classical system. Are quantum computers even *theoretically* possible? Or are there some basic laws of nature that deprive Human the access to the computing power that Universe obviously posesses?

  22. Re:Google workforce on the extreme left on Google's Gatekeepers · · Score: 1

    when Fed is talking about directly planning the economy on the scale of trillion dollars, it's very socialist.

  23. Jealousy on Google's Gatekeepers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Before internet, the gatekeepers to information were powers like NY Time.

  24. Re:Duh? on A 1941 Paper-and-Pencil Cipher · · Score: 1

    Actually he was a computer - that's what they called people who did mundane computations before machines took over their job.

    I doubt that his job was mundane or his title was "computer". Cryptanalysis is more than just some algorithms, you cannot crack the codes by using computers (meat or electronic) alone without human insight and intelligence(which we don't know how to program yet)

  25. Re:July 1940 != prewar on A 1941 Paper-and-Pencil Cipher · · Score: 1

    To be fair, it's pretty hard to count all the wars in Europe.
