  1. Space Debris on India Shoots Down Satellite in Test (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Thanks for contributing. Have a nice day!

  2. A first order dimwit.

  3. It would have been... Glorious.

  4. booyah

  5. Not sorry.

  6. They said, "fuck you."

  7. [turns it off]

  8. Looks at phone...

  9. Already being done... on Key West Moves To Ban Sunscreens That Could Damage Reefs (miamiherald.com) · · Score: 0

    Hawaii has already banned such sunscreens, as has Palau. It makes sense to do it, it's easy enough to do it. Maybe it's just buying time for the reefs if climate change continues unabated - but it's worth trying, at least.

  10. LOL! Same as it ever was. This site is teh sex! :D

  11. Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

  12. The problem... on GPU Accelerated Realtime Skin Smoothing Algorithms Make Actors Look Perfect · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This technique has been used for still photography for years now, and has the same issue under video (even more so)... There's a very fine line between skin smoothing - and making it look like plastic. When it's overdone, even slightly, you do notice it, and it doesn't look right.

  13. VLC 3.0.5 is Unusable on VLC Passes 3 Billion Downloads (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    On my Mac at least, it crashes on launch. Ditching prefs doesn't help. Went back to 3.0.4.

  14. Quicktime Player... on VLC Passes 3 Billion Downloads (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    ...does it very easily - and quickly.

  15. Long live RISC!

  16. Re:The Nobel Prize Committee blew it on No Nobel For Nick Holonyak Jr, Father of the LED · · Score: 0

    How is this moderated to -1?!

  17. Re:The Nobel Prize Committee blew it on No Nobel For Nick Holonyak Jr, Father of the LED · · Score: 0

    Exaaaactly. And for the reading impaired, I was talking about Holonyak.

  18. Re:The Nobel Prize Committee blew it on No Nobel For Nick Holonyak Jr, Father of the LED · · Score: -1

    Umm... He's STILL ALIVE.

  19. Certainly gives a new meaning to BSOD... Oh, my.

  20. Pilot Error on For the First Time Ever, the FAA Is Trying To Fine a Drone Hobbyist · · Score: 0

    That guy shouldn't be allowed to pilot a balloon, much less a drone.

  21. Helpful Command to Remove Ubuntu One on Canonical Shutting Down Ubuntu One File Services · · Score: 1

    Remove all the Ubuntu One stuff installed by default:

    apt-get remove deja-dup-backend-ubuntuone python-ubuntuone-client python-ubuntuone-control-panel python-ubuntuone-storageprotocol rhythmbox-ubuntuone ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client-data ubuntuone-control-panel ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

    And for good measure:

    apt-get remove unity-scope-musicstores

  22. Nonsense on The Mystery of the 'Only Camera To Come Back From the Moon' · · Score: 1

    Like all Hasselblad V cameras, the rear features a detachable magazine, which in turns holds the film; either 120 or 70mm. An internal darkslide allows you to change magazines mid-roll if you wanted to (say if switching from color to black and white film or for changing to a slower/faster ISO film).

  23. Re:Close call on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 0

    LOL! :D

  24. Here's what I'm thinking... on Quadcopter Guided By Thought — Accurately · · Score: 0

    Snatching pizzas out of thin air!

  25. Re:Define "Survive" on Can Microsoft Survive If Windows Doesn't Dominate? · · Score: 0

    So now we're supposed to cheer for Ballmer to stay?

    Depending on your point of view... Perhaps. :)
