  3. Re:NIH on Russia to Search For Life on Europa · · Score: 1

    This would only strengthen the arguments for panspermia.

  4. I'm european and on Russia to Search For Life on Europa · · Score: 2, Funny

    With a population of over 710 million, life is abundant in europe. There is however no strong evidence for intelligent life. I kid. ;)

  5. This is stupid on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    The idea is hillaryous

  6. DVD/CD on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 1

    Why is this a cheap, plexiglass-like DVD and not a plexiglass-like CD?

  7. Re:One person's loss is another's gain on 3.2 Billion Dollars Lost to Phishing in 2007 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm deaf and blind and I find that offensive!

  8. Re:Newsflash. on Can Time Slow Down? · · Score: 1

    A phenomenon known to social psychologists as "hindsight bias".

  9. Metal Gear Solid on Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping · · Score: 1

    The music for Metal Gear Solid, especially that for Snake Eater, is awesome.

  10. Re:What would happen if... on NIST Opens Competition for a New Hash Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it take a very long time to create a decent algorithm? Like, for example, generating a random piece of music that was not only generated at random but also good to listen to? Or like generating random strings and combine the ones that aren't rubbish into crap, like a Harry Potter book or something?

  11. Re:Use a cat! on Quantum Cryptography Slowed by "Dead Times" · · Score: 1

    I think some people reason that it is not contributing anything useful to the discussion so they mod it redundant.

  12. Re:PS 3 USB Mouse Support on Valve's Orange Box For PS3 Delayed, Not Console Related · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Cool on FSF Positioning To Sue Microsoft Over GPLv3? · · Score: 1

    Money can be used to buy anything, including a whopper. This voucher can not be used to buy a whopper, it can only be used to obtain Suse. So your analogy is wrong.

  15. Re:Thank you Microsoft on Storm Botnet Is Behind Two New Attacks · · Score: 1

    Without your poor security record and woeful OS, spammers wouldn't have this huge arsenal at their disposal. Furthermore, companies and people wouldn't be earning billions a year fighting this crap. Hope your happy Billyboy Gates! There, fixed that for ya
  16. Re:can we do this with gw bush? on First Successful Genome Transplant In Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Please... everyone knows 20th century colleges were basically expensive daycare centers.

  17. Re:Think of the germphobes! on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why don't you back some of your outrageous claims up with some facts? I have OCD, and I've got serious problems and worries about money from time to time. Besides that, I'm a student and until recently I had a job in the weekends to support my hobbies and social life, but I had to quit this job because of my disorder. I'm on medication and I'm seeing a psychologist for this. Before saying such idiotic things again, you should know that I know of a person who has OCD, because she has repressed her memories from a childhood rape, and her OCD is a way of dealing with these memories. I wish you could explain to her your ignorant theory, I'm sure she could use your insight..

  18. Re:Think of the germphobes! on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 1

    I suffer from OCD (rather badly), but have always used (plenty of) regular soap. Some other people with OCD I know, they wash their hands with bleach. So if you consider that they'd wash their hands with something that toxic, I don't think they'll care about anti-bacterial soap being better than plain soap.

  19. Re:Unsolved? on 3 Ton Meteorite Stolen · · Score: 1

    Asteroid, meteorite, etc.

    A meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives an impact with the Earth's surface without being destroyed. While in space it is called a meteoroid.

    from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite , and:

    A meteoroid is a small sand to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar system. Larger than that, the object is an asteroid; smaller than that, it is interplanetary dust. The current official definition of a meteoroid from the International Astronomical Union is "A solid object moving in interplanetary space, of a size considerably smaller than an asteroid and considerably larger than an atom or molecule."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid Don't think a meteorite/meteoroid can cause an explosion a 1000 times more powerful than Hiroshima.. Can it?
  20. Re:This will drive the Taliban crazy on DARPA Semifinalists Selected · · Score: 1

    I bet these autonomous vehicles perform really well in the mountains, yes...

  21. The first thing I had to think about was: on Procedural Programming- The Secret Behind Spore · · Score: 1

    How can anyone claim that procedural programming is better at generating dynamic content than object oriented programming? Then I realized this FA was BS.

  22. Re:Well known? on A CIO's View of Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    The only thing I can think of is being a strong firefox supporter. And maybe the Google Desktop search thing.

  23. Re:This may be a really ignorant question, but... on MIT Engineers World's First Schizophrenic Mice · · Score: 5, Funny

  24. Doesn't matter on Can Space Nerds Get Along? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I doesn't matter, Nerds will not get to call the shots -- the people with money will, and they will create policy and direct the nerds, while the nerds will keep fighting.

  25. Uphill battle on How Microsoft Beat Linux In China · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But Linux has always had an uphill battle, the hill just got a little higher.
