  1. Re:hrm on Man Convicted For Helping Thousands Steal Internet Access · · Score: 1

    you are actually taking something someone else paid for, i.e. theft.

    Are you sure it wasn't more like a free ride? It's not dissimilar to taking what somebody else invested R&D money to develop.

    And "foamy" layout of matter in the universe.

  4. Re:Complicated? on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 1

    "year % 400" will execute in the same time as "year / 100"...

    I wouldn't be so sure. AFAIK x86 CISC is actually RISC + macros, so MOD is actually DIV + MUL + SUB, therefore slower than DIV + ANL.

  5. Re:Complicated? on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 1

    No, it's just dumber and slower. You have one division instead of way faster bitwise AND, a bunch of unnecessary comparisons and longer boolean logic.

  9. To the point: "reality bias?" on Evidence For Antimatter Anomaly Mounts · · Score: 1

    Could be because we use "ordinary" matter to study the phenomena?

    [...] the nav system is to die because of.

    That appears to be un uncited FTFY. If so, then Grammar Nazi fail. "Of" is also a preposition.

    Actually this is a bit whoosh back at you, because I was quoting Jack O'Neill (note the double "L"), going for ironic twofer.

    With given differences in the modes of access [to the hardware] there really is no comparison.
