  2. Wrong. on Is the Concept of 'Cyberspace' Stupid? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's a big NO. The concept of cyberspace is not stupid. It's some people's understanding of it that is. As is the concept in some undeveloped minds that a "hacker" is a term for cyber-locksmith instead of cyber-craftsman. Eastasians alltime unknow and badsay words.

  3. Re:Christ... on Judge Invalidates 13 Motorola Patent Claims Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Concerning our comment, I have no strong opinion one way or the other. (It looks like "neutrality" is apathy in transparent disguise.)

  4. Re:why? on Russian Univ. Launches Course Based On ReactOS Led By Alex Bragin · · Score: 1

    Yeah, yeah, but really no need for braggin'.

  5. For example, the holocaust still isn't funny.

    This lady says otherwise.

  6. The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is, as has been remarked before often and accurately, a pretty startling kind of a thing. It is, essentially, as the title implies, a guide book. The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizeable portion of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this.

    The previous sentence makes sense. That is not the problem.

    This is:

    Change.

    Read it through again and you'll get it.

    I congratulate you, sir, on beating Mr Douglas Adams.

  7. Re:I have a better idea... on Richard Stallman's Solution To 'Too Big To Fail' · · Score: 1

    Even without further employment these people will be wealthy their entire lives.

    Let's make that period as short as it is prosperous.

  8. The future. on Why It's So Hard To Predict How Caffeine Will Affect Your Body · · Score: 1

    Caffeinated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? ADMIRAL Crunch?

  9. Re:Economy is not a science. on Australian Economists Predictions No Better Than Flipping a Coin · · Score: 1

    [the theory of evolution by natural selection] doesn't have (yet) predictive power

    It has. Otherwise it wouldn't be used in computing for finding near-optimal solutions to problems.

    From BEANS (Battlefield-Accessible Entertainment Network Systems).

  11. Re:Economy is not a science. on Australian Economists Predictions No Better Than Flipping a Coin · · Score: 5, Funny
    Trend prediction is statistics, not economics. As for econometrics, this illustrates how it operates:

    Three econometricians went out hunting, and came across a large deer. The first econometrician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second econometrician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third econometrician didn't fire, but shouted in triumph, "We got it! We got it!"

  12. Re:Economy is not a science. on Australian Economists Predictions No Better Than Flipping a Coin · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, the same way "Intelligent Design" is science.

  14. Re:Yea. Me Too. on Washington Post: We Were Also Hacked By the Chinese · · Score: 1

    U.S. Defense Secretary Warns of a Possible 'Cyber-Pearl Harbor'.

    So, no, it's simple. The USA declared "Cyber War" on the USA so some "attacks" are required to be reported. These don't have to be real though, just reported.

  15. Re:D Stover is not convincing on Will Renewable Energy Ever Meet All Our Energy Needs? · · Score: 1

    negative growth

    I'm sure there was a single word for this. Even several depending on context.

  16. Re:This is fantastic on Public Domain Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 1

    It's exactly opposite. It doesn't matter what you've been brainwashed to believe. Captalism doesn't hold water.

    Capitalism opposes progress (I am being serious).

  18. Re:Open Door Policy on Four At Once: Volcano Quartet Erupts On Kamchatka · · Score: 2

    potato-and-vodka farts can be pretty damn toxic themselves.

    Sorry, carbohydrates and ethanol don't produce highly toxic fumes. Proteins do. Very little in potatoes. None in vodka.

    Agile Brogramming? SC and a bottle of RUM?

  20. Re:This is fantastic on Public Domain Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 2

    This is wrong. Giving stuff to the public domain should be forbidden. This way of life is communist!

    'smelly feet' doesn't make sense.

    It seems it's no small feat for you to understand that pun.
