  1. That's a relief. on Armed Robots Not Actually Gone From Iraq · · Score: 1

    I personally would hate to see this technology shelved for 10 years. The original story seemed like an overkill reaction.

  2. Re:Get your lawyer ready.... on Oklahoma Leaks 10,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    That information is already publicly available, right?

  3. Re:Get your lawyer ready.... on Oklahoma Leaks 10,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Get your lawyer ready. He was probably notified along with all the other offenders.
  4. Routine Maintenance on Oklahoma Leaks 10,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    ...the site went down for 'routine maintenance' on April 13 2008. The Reality Distortion Field is weak with this one.
  5. Re:BWAHAHAHAHA! on Microsoft Accommodating Eee With Lightweight XP · · Score: 1

    Considering that Windows 7 is being written from scratch, anything they learn here probably won't apply. Hopefully they design it right this time around, though.

    You would probably find this similarly useless.

  8. Re:Left out of the summary on Building a 5-Ton Calculator From 19th-Century Plans · · Score: 1

    Remember, Earth itself is really a giant computer. Although to be honest, it isn't really useless. Just Mostly Harmless.

  9. Re:Only the difference engine? on Building a 5-Ton Calculator From 19th-Century Plans · · Score: 1

    Could some explain what Turing-complete is? I don't find Wikipedia very clear on this.

    TFA? TFSummary

    Make an emulator and try it ;-}

    Literally (for a star)

  14. Re:This is /. on Psystar Offers $399 "OpenMac" Computer · · Score: 1

    If they stopped licensing to other OEMs, maybe.
    I wonder what HP, Dell, & friends would do if MS did that.

  15. Re:This is /. on Psystar Offers $399 "OpenMac" Computer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what does Apple care if you use their OS on a PC?

  16. But... on Psystar Offers $399 "OpenMac" Computer · · Score: 1

    Does it run Windows?

  17. Re:OH WOW on Eco-Marathon Team Hits 2,843 mpg · · Score: 1

    Modern cars get better mileage with the windows rolled up and the AC on than with the with the AC off and the windows rolled down. Only over 50 MPH.

    Probably # of Joules.

  19. Re:Not Eligible on Eco-Marathon Team Hits 2,843 mpg · · Score: 3, Funny

    while drivers had to weigh at least 50 kilograms. You still qualify. You just can't drive two cars at once.
  20. Re:Way forward on ODF? on ISO Calls For OOXML Ceasefire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ISO certification means that Microsoft Word is just as open as ODF or ASCII for purposes of government and business contracts. Hmm. Can they require OOXML or simply "an ISO standard document"? If they can only require that you give them something ISO-approved, just give them ODF.
  21. Re:Formulas in spreadsheets on ISO Calls For OOXML Ceasefire · · Score: 1

    Spreadsheet formulas are probably more important than a car's paint color, but you did say it was a bad analogy.

    go back to WoW OK
  23. Re:First looks at gimp 2.5.... on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 2, Informative

    if it had 16-bit support I would use the Gimp since I don't care about CMYK

    the integration of GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) which will finally get support for higher color depths
  24. Ironic on NASA Selects Landing Site for Phoenix Mars Lander · · Score: 3, Funny

    We land these things in rock-free regions so that they can look at rocks.
    (Yes, I know this one is looking for ice)

  25. Re:One question. on Internet Sites Biased Towards Supporting Suicide · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of 'Freaks' when I made the GPP.
    And just so you know, I don't apply a point filter to friends/fans/foes/freaks. It's more of a heads-up that I have vehemently disagreed with something you said in the past.
