  1. hmmm on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    I think you got some Idle on your front page.

  2. Spiderman on Building a Homemade Nuclear Reactor In NYC · · Score: 1

    Didn't Dr. Octopus do this? You see how that turned out.

  3. Re:Different leader, same old party & policies on Australia Gets Its First Female Prime Minister · · Score: 1

    Emphasis on those issues? Or expressed an opinion similar to your own on those issues?

    I have no issue whatsoever with women in positions of power. But when special interests start to cloud judgment, incompetence is shown. It mirrors my sentiment toward my own president. And hes a man.

  4. Overwhelming YES from this peanut gallery! on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    My reasons for support of this aren't because XP is a bad OS. I still use it for some things. My key reason for being in support of dumping XP off of corporate networks is that I won't have to turn perfectly good websites into abominations of cat's cradle code just so they will render properly in IE6.

    Later versions of IE still suck; but they are a ton easier to deal with than IE6.

  5. Re:Problem isn't the units on 2 In 3 Misunderstand Gas Mileage; Here's Why · · Score: 1

    Especially when it comes to wires. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to just start adding zeros when the girth of the wire got so big?!

  6. Re:Grandma's Future on Canada's Largest Cities Seeing the End of the Phone Book · · Score: 1

    My grandparents are all dead. So what now?

  7. Re:Idiots on Bangladesh Blocks Facebook Over Muhammad Cartoons · · Score: 1

    Muhammad is not an idol or a god figure. As is said "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His prophet."

  8. hmmm... on CERT Releases Basic Fuzzing Framework · · Score: 2, Funny

    The worst case scenario is talking about worse case scenarios thinking about worse case scenarios and letting them possess you.

  9. Re:in other words on Random Hacks of Kindness · · Score: 1

    How the hell is this modded Flaimbait?! They did it under a non AC name and the poster just after this one said the same thing only posed as a question and was modded +4 Insightful.

    Aside from the housekeeping, it's a coder's prerogative to add to their own library.

  10. hmmm on US Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Confinement · · Score: 1

    All of this is based on the faulty assumption that the prison system is really all about "rehabilitation". Yes, there are in fact people that are insanely perverted that are in prison. But will a few more months or a few more years added to their sentence really do any good?

  11. Re:Note to the President on California Moves To Block Texas' Textbook Changes · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Considering in California red is the new green in finance and whole neighborhoods of houses sit empty and derelict I think you are misinformed sir.

  12. Re:Technical schools? on Too Many College Graduates? · · Score: 1

    They are called Community Colleges and Trade Schools.

  13. A quote comes to mind on Supermassive Black Hole Is Thrown Out of Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Think how you'd feel if a bacterium sat at your table and started to get snarky. This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy that's barely out of its diapers...

    So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you.

  14. Cheap solution for the future... on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 1

    Tin foil... lots of it.

  15. hmmm on Ancient Comet Fragments Found In Antarctic Snow · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The panspermian theory seems to be a paradox. If organic matter came from somewhere else to here, how did it get to that somewhere else? And more importantly, how did it form?

  16. hmmm on Win7 Can Delete All System Restore Points On Reboot · · Score: 1

    I don't mean to troll, but in order to recover from something incredibly bad, normally FORMAT C: is the only option to be 100% sure. Then I use my version of System Restore called "Ghost" and I'm back up and running in 20 minutes.

  17. hmm on World's Fastest Robot Versus the Wiimote · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that if the conveyor being controlled by the Wiimote could possibly go faster than the robot could track, then this would be kind-of interesting. My $0.02

  18. Re:What rights? on ACTA Treaty Released · · Score: 1

    In a court of law, as a defendant, they may say the burden of proof is on the prosecution. When in fact, you have to prove your innocence. I don't like it, but that's the way things really are.

    Also, if you don't like someone, all you have to do is accuse them of something like copyright infringement and that could equate to instant financial ruin from having to pay attorneys and court costs. EVEN IF THERE IS NO PROOF

    What I would like to see is someone anonymously accuse a phantom of copyright infringement and have the RIAA waste their time and resources on prosecuting a fiction, or a dog, or a dead person.

  19. Re:apple will not be able to do this on a desktop on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    Apple would not be able to do this on a desktop / full laptop. {sentence deleted because it made no sense}

    Apple hardware lock in is bad, but an app store lock in with fees for people to make free apps and a 30% cut of sales for payed apps will KILL MAC OS X.

    Fixed it! Damn you make my OCD itch!

  20. Re:Exercise some self-discipline and keep... on Gonorrhea As the Next Superbug · · Score: 1

    Syphilis. That one's been around a while. And I do believe that there is no cure.

  21. Re:I was all like, "Take pictures of the surface" on NASA Mars Satellite Snaps 1st Public-Picked Photos · · Score: 1

    Where the hell are my mod points? NASA made satellites easier to use because I told them some vague thing. I did that for Microshaft once! THE SYSTEM WORKS!

  22. Re:Exercise some self-discipline and keep... on Gonorrhea As the Next Superbug · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hehe... You said OVERCOME. Didn't know that was possible.

  23. Novel Idea on Best Way To Land Entry-Level Job? · · Score: 1

    I hand HR my resume. I hand my prospective future boss the resume and the source code for it in the language the job is for with documentation.

  24. Re:I hoped they tracked the IP in real time... on Disgruntled Ex-Employee Remotely Disables 100 Cars · · Score: 1

    It was at that moment I turned off 24 for the last time.

  25. Re:Question on Toei Animation Thinks Mobiles Could Save Anime · · Score: 1

    Hell, if you want to be very strict with the definition of what a cartoon is, Avatar was half cartoon and half live action. Just a bit better made than Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
