    There, fixed that for you... oops... I may be in violation of my Diebold employee nondisclosure agreement
  3. Re:Oh god yes, the best idea ever on A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers · · Score: 1

    I disagree. I think it is a terrible idea, and so would you if you thought it through. Can you imagine a beach in Hawaii crawling with pasty-white blogger union delegates once a year?

  6. title wrong on Brains Hard-Wired for Math · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've co-taught an undergraduate mathematics course. Based on this experience and many others, I assure you the human mind is not hard-wired for math.

  7. Re:Keep it a Secret on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...why let it out? The enemy's perception of threat is almost as useful as a genuine threat. They'll never deploy enough of these things to be 100% effective, so scaring them away is a good strategy.
  8. Re:Not all games are a riot of colours and violenc on Today's Gamers, Tomorrow's Leaders? · · Score: 1

    Not all games are a riot of colours and violence... Yet for some reason after only 11 comments the dicussion is already focused on these... what does this tell us about the slashdot readership? We pwn.
  9. Re:If they don't hurry up... on Metal Gear Solid 4 Delayed To 2008 · · Score: 1

    I've always thought that MGS4's storyline continues from the themes of MGS2 I don't much care what the story is as long as I don't have to play as that fruit cake Raiden again.
  10. Re:Hurrah! on The Kremlin Tightens Its Grip on the Internet · · Score: 1

    Yeah, cuz I need more spam from them than I'm already getting...

    RIAA: Yes, we do.

  15. Re:Nefarious? on Echeria Coli Co-Opted To Make Gasoline · · Score: 1

    Nefarious implies intent. It means evil. E. coli (you capitalize phylum, class, order, family and genus, but not species) is not sentient, therefore not evil. Lighten the fuck up, Socrates.

    Call me a troll... You're a troll.
  16. Re:Extending the "mainstream state-of-the-art"? on DARPA Develops Dolphin-like Tail For Divers · · Score: 1

    I watch BFM Paris news stream The researchers will have to rerun their fluid dynamics simulations with wine as the transport medium and make some adjustments before this will serve your needs.

    (BTW, not hating on the French--they account for half of my ancestry.)

    "Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here." Who gave this guy E?
  21. I approve on NSF Announces Supercomputer Grant Winners · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm glad we have the NSF out there supporting the development of faster and faster supercomputers. Pretty soon these machines will be able to locate the correct Sarah Connor in the phone book on the first try.

  22. Re:Enough with the bible motif on OpenGL SuperBible · · Score: 1

    The bible cliche is as old, worn out, and overused as SoCo. Typo corrected. Admitting it's overused is the first of twelve steps. Stay strong--maybe Superjesus can help with that.
  23. Forget the big problem; important smaller problem on Surviving in Space Without a Spacesuit · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe, but once they retrieve you, if your clothing needs to be removed for any reason (e.g. medical), you're going to have shrinkage like you just did the polar bear plunge... and all in front of your unreasonably hot female costar. :(
