  1. Re:Yuk! on ISS Gets New Recycling Gear, Ready For Larger Crew · · Score: 1

    All the water on Earth is essentially recycled urine at this point.

    I didn't think that many people peed in the pool or ocean.

  2. Re:Huh on New Olympics Scoring: No More Perfect 10.0 · · Score: 1

    Because no one makes them all the time. If you look at his post...

    then everyone will just learn to perfect the move with the highest y and then you will just see a chain of them for the lenght of the event..

    If we make an assumption that the FG % for 2 pointers is 40%, and the FG % for 3 pointers is 25%, then:

    Average points per 3 point attempt: 3*.25 = .75
    Average points per 2 point attempt: 2*.4 = .8

    Where 2 pointers are slightly more efficient. If someone could make every 3 pointer they tried (higher Y), then they would take every 3 pointer and would win every game.

  3. Re:So welcome them in.. on Microsoft's Open Source Guru Faces Tough Fight · · Score: 1

    However, it could be worse. Imagine if Apple was in the dominant position.

  4. Re:Average Consumers? How about average internet.. on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 1

    Reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from Scrubs:

    J.D.: Okay, that's it. I-I-I'm sorry, Sean, I'm a doctor, okay? I-I'm teaching humans, not dolphins, okay? So it isn't really helpful for me to know what works on fish.
    Sean: They're mammals, actually.
    J.D.: Oh, well, Sean! Unfortunately for me, my interns aren't mammals!
    Sean: J.D., they are

    And in doing so, all hopes of achieving the message will be gone.

    We slashdotted it :-(.

    Or you can ask your mom for a dollar fifty a day for a bag of Doritos and a can of Mountain Dew.

  8. Re:Voice Messaging on Call Someone – Without Having To Talk To Them · · Score: 1

    I believe they meant sending them, not receiving them (in the context of driving or doing something that requires concentration).

    But additionally, listening to a voice message is probably safer than reading a text message.

  9. Will this be turned into a movie? on Watchmen Movie Trailer Is Out · · Score: 1

    They appear to be doing something similar to what they did with Iron Man. There were many skeptics but it turned out well.

  10. Dissapointed on Listen Online To Last HOPE Conference · · Score: 1

    I'm disappointed they changed the date from the conference from 2007. I needed an excuse to use that time machine I bought :-(.

  11. Re:Shorts on Wall-E Supervising Animator Tells His Story · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it was Pixar, but which movie had the short in the beginning with Goofy setting up his home theater? I always thought that one was humorous.

  12. Re:Liberate the Spectrum. on HD Radio Recording In the US? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    + ted is even better. http://www.ted.nu/.

    It's more or less a cronjob that will check for your shows (new uploads to tvrss.net or other sites), and download the torrents for you. Poor man's tivo, and you don't have to do anything if you set up your shows and let it download for you.

  13. Re:Oh, Steve *Jobs* on Inside Steve's Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's make a list of the things you didn't read in coming to that conclusion.

    1) TFA
    2) The first sentence of TFS
    3) The table giving more information about the book
    4) Any comments on said TFA

    Quite impressive.

    At least I know I'm safe because I run... Oh, crap.

    I'm sure AMD fans will make a point that they are protected in this case.

    But on the flip side, they run AMD. :-).

  20. Re:Spoilers eh on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hey, at least they're being honest.

    Bah, they're being paranoid. Why don't they just engrave a message in our corneas that reads "Warning: Life causes Death."

    Does it really? Someone should do a study.

  21. Re:Why a potentially explosive aspect? on Viacom Looks For Google Staff Uploads in YouTube Logs · · Score: 1

    Crap, modded redundant, undoing. There should be a confirmation for all mods, but especially negative mods. Meant to mod interesting. Turnabout being fair play and all.

    I wouldn't play the durability card against the iPhone. If we want to go anecdotes, mine fell down a flight of stairs (full drop, no bouncing) screen first and you can't tell. No scratches.

    However, if you would like something a little more formal: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/iphone-review.ars/13

    The US (Golf) Open did a great job with their online coverage. Full following of a couple marquee groups, coverage of a couple holes for all players that came by, simulcast of ESPN coverage, all of it in both SD and HD.
