  1. Re:My opinion of bloggers (and WGA writers) on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Oh wait, did I offend a whole swath of lower humans there? Are you referring to bloggers or being anti-Semantic?
  2. Re:What?! on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    1. Your sarcasm detector must be broken.
    2. /. is (or at least was) a blog.

  3. Re:And in Redmond.... on Google To Offer Free Database Storage for Scientists · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hide the chairs./quote. Nah. Programmers might write smaller code if they can't sit until they are done. Easy way to prevent those features nobody wants!
  4. Re:there's one problem with your cunning plan.... on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    I would think that telescopes and binoculars would be more useful for searching than goggles.

  5. Re:no value so no leverage on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Where, exactly would a group of bloggers create enough value that "we" would be prepared to pay extra to have them continue? 18+ blogs?
  6. Re:Raiding party! on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    The article speaks of IP, but the vast majority of blogs definitely don't deserve the "intellectual" part of it The "I" is for "Imaginary", remember?
  7. Re:Blog? on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    You mean intertubes.

  8. Re:Not Really on AI Taught How To Play Ms. Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    Too easy to check up on that. It lied about it's top score.

  9. Re:then the FCC would decide everything on FCC Will Test Internet Over TV Airwaves, Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    Clearwire isn't bound by those laws. This broadcasting will be happening on the same frequencies as TV, but it won't be in a format a TV can make sense of.

  10. Re:Makes Perfect Sense on FCC Will Test Internet Over TV Airwaves, Again · · Score: 1

    Is the TV spectrum fast enough to carry more than just IPTV?

  11. Re:Species 2M1207B... on Aftermath of Distant Planetary Collision? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you want total compatibility, you should consider XP, too.

  12. Re:Just in time... on CIA Claims Cyber Attackers Blacked Out Cities · · Score: 1

    Federal US Democratic elections.

  13. Gnome on Trolltech Adopts GPL 3 for Qt · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the complaint that KDE is not as "open" as Gnome is no longer valid?

  14. Re:Which superpower would you want? on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Never needing sleep is also good.

  15. Re:Which superpower would you want? on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the movie "Next"? Precognition is a pretty good contender.

  16. Re:Chop chop on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    These are geeks too. So it is too much to ask them to talk to a pretty girl in order to get her permission to set up the receiving equipment.

  17. Re:disassembly never made sense on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Roddenberry & Co. didn't have the budget for establishing shots with shuttle craft and planetary atmospheric flight. They could have done something like the Stargate, except with controlled exit points rather than only to other gates.
  18. Re:wouldn't in animate objects be easier then? on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    (replicators?) Star Trek or Stargate?
    Jokes aside, in the mythology of Star Trek, weren't transporter originally (pre-TOS) pad-to-pad only?
  19. Distance? on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How much does distance affect this? Is two miles near the theoretical limit something can be teleported before degradation sets in? Or is that just how far the scientists have bothered to try at this point?

  20. Re:They are right on New Firmware Fixes Previously Bricked iPhones · · Score: 1

    That depends on your definition. (see #7)

  21. Re:It doesn't unbrick all iPhones on New Firmware Fixes Previously Bricked iPhones · · Score: 2, Funny

    And if Apple bought AOL, we would have the iFrisbee.

  22. I, for one... on New Firmware Fixes Previously Bricked iPhones · · Score: 0

    welcome our unbricked (undead?) overlords.

  23. Sooo... on State of US Science Report Shows Disturbing Trends · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...we spending the most money, on the dumbest researchers?

  24. Re:Does it catapult everything? on Industrial Robot Arm Becomes Giant Catapult · · Score: 1

    About as well as it would catapult you.
    Unless you are a very small shell script.

  25. Re:Planet of the Apes on Green Light for Human/Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1

    You're thinking Roach/Shark/Weasel hybrid. Note the lack of any trace of humanity.
