  1. Re:Religion vs Reality on Is Ubuntu Selling Out or Growing Up? · · Score: 1

    The Distro of Null-A.

  2. DOS on CNS on Griefers Assault Epileptics Via Message Board · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I hope that this despicable assault can be, and shall be, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the applicable laws. An interesting case... It's a sort of neurological trespass and vandalism, or a DOS on one's own CNS.

    Incidentally, Coeur d'Alene is in Idaho, not Ohio.

  3. YouTube Addresses on The Coming Digital Presidency · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if an Obama White House released occasional YouTube Addresses, much in the spirit of FDR's famous Radio Chats.

  4. Re:Applications? on Road Coloring Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    The Crimson Hexagon in the Library of Babel is only reachable in such a fashion.

  5. Re:I personally on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 1

    will.i.am (of the Black Eyed Peas) and Jesse Dylan, basically; the Obama campaign had nothing to do with the production of this masterpiece of hip-hop gravitas.

  6. Re:The military's been testing rail guns forever on World's Most Powerful Rail Gun Delivered to US Navy · · Score: 1

    Along those lines I vaguely reading that after Desert Storm there were only a handful of (destroyed) Iraqi T-72s left in decent enough shape for any sort of intelligence analysis, inasmuch as anything the M1A1 had hit was thoroughly, but thoroughly, demolished. I can't find the reference, though.

  7. Mensan Psephology on Western-Style Voting 'A Loser' · · Score: 1

    Around the beginning of the last election cycle the Mensa Bulletin had an interesting article on psephology. Each of the voting methods were voted on using each method, with the weirdly negative result that no voting method won using its own methodology.

  8. Re:SETI... on Citizen Science and Grid Computing · · Score: 1

    I still run SETI for old time's sake, albeit at low priority (along with SZATKI and ABC) at 100, whereas Einstein and Rosetta are at 200 and World Community Grid has the lion's share of CPU cycles at 400, so for my part it's mostly biology and astronomy.

  9. LibraryThing on The Home Library Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Curious... there's no mention of LibraryThing or its CueCat!

  10. Re:See Books, Albums, etc. on Why Do Games Still Have Levels? · · Score: 1

    Alexander Sokurov's The Russian Ark (2002) was filmed in one take. Truly magnificent, but the cadence takes some getting used to...

  11. Re:Nature of Things on Famous Criminal Opines that Technology Breeds Crime · · Score: 1

    I concur. Technology certainly provides the opportunity for crime (given the motive), and furthermore the law of large numbers is in play here. Some people shall always gin the system, it's just that the system is global now.

  12. Command Economy on The Story of Baikonur, Russia's Space City · · Score: 1

    I'm appalled and impressed: I've always liked the design philosophy of the Soviet-cum-Russian space program. Keeps a licking and keeps on ticking!

    Bruce Sterling noted on Nightline some years ago that NASA was a command economy. Overall the Russian space program seems to have adapted better. Oh, the irony.

    Next up: China.

  13. A Plethora of Bad Guys Get Leverage on Profile of the Russian Business Network · · Score: 1

    A plethora of bad guys, rather.

  14. Re:Nothing to see on Dragonfly-Sized Insect Spies Spotted, Denied · · Score: 1

    Occam's Razor says "Apophenia."
