  1. Re:Why "fortunately"? on Prominent Mathematicians Rebuke Recent Riemann Hypothesis Proof · · Score: 1

    And then half of them that think they know don't actually know the correct definitions. As it doesn't mean Polynomial vs. Not Polynomial (common belief). It means Polynomial vs. Non-deterministic Polynomial time.

  2. Re:Great, one more distraction... on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 1

    I don't know how I would react if a guy rear ended me, and when we were getting out of the cars to exchange information, his pants were down and there was no one else in the car. I'd be a little perplexed to say the least. And then jealous.

  3. Re:Ditch diagrams. I'm serious. on Software Diagramming In Embedded Systems? · · Score: 1

    About the only case where diagrams are helpful are FSM diagrams.

    What the hell does "response" mean?

    (Family Guy Reference)

    Dennis Miller: I don't want to go on a rant, here, but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first battle of Antietam. I mean when a neo-conservative defenestrates it's like Raskolnikov filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate...

  8. Re:Spam for McCain! on McCain Asks Supporters To Campaign On Blogs · · Score: 1

    You have to call them shallow and pedantic.

    In a real world example: "I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic."

  9. Re:Correction on Apple Cracks Down On iPhone Unlockers · · Score: 1

    My iPhone has fallen down a flight of stairs, and you can't tell. No scratches, no nothing. It is very durable.

    And we'll call it Digg. And there will be blackjack, and hookers.

  11. Re:read the interview on Games and Music, the New Book Burning · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's because red and blue states are a terrible way to reference individual states.

    If you look at the electoral votes in all the states in the various elections, the majority of most are between 51% and 55%.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2004#Election_results

    In 21 states the difference was less than 10%, and its this red state/blue state electoral college delineation that I believe is a huge polarizing factor on the country and isn't good for our political system.

  12. Re:I told you so on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    A Russian mother would NEVER abandon her children


    That's generalization, and as most generalizations it is also incorrect. It's disproven by existence of orphanages in Russia (and Ukraine).

    BTW, I'm Russian currently living in Ukraine. Not necessarily, as the mother could have died, but it was a generalization.
  13. Re:reasonable doubt on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    The paper is an interesting read, but your results from it were wrong.

    According to page 109, radio listeners had the best detection with 73.4, then print with 64.2, finally television with 51.8 (just better than chance).

    You have to be nice to it, it's its birthday :-).

  18. Data Mining/Predictions on Ask a Studio Head How To Get Into the Movie Business · · Score: 1

    In the book "Super Crunchers", one of the fields they covered was the movie industry, and discussed firms that would be able to predict the success of a movie by reading its script? One example of this was a script that was going to be filmed at too many locations, was predicted to be unprofitable because its filming cost was too high, and the number of locations would confuse the viewer. Have you looked into any of these ideas of using statistics and data mining to predict the popularity/profit of your scripts, and if so, any success/failure stories, and if not, why not?

    while (true) {

    if (isSECWatching = false) {

    }}

    Assignment vs. equality check strikes again! Does that mean you can get the SEC to stop watching by doing assignment instead of equivalence? Because that would pretty cool.

    if (isAboutToCommitFraud == true) {
            isSECWatching = false;
    }

    I like this system. :-).
