  1. Re:Collector's Item on Unboxing a 1984 Atari Peripheral, 25 Years Later · · Score: 1

    Then why do people like buying new cars? Using a new device can be better than using a well-worn device.

  2. Re:#irc.trooltalk.com on 17,000 Downloads Does Not Equal 17,000 Lost Sales · · Score: 1

    This looks like a Mad-Libs entry.

    Good Lord. I don't know where to begin with your science.

  9. Re:Which is part of why.... on Russia's Mars Mission Raising Concerns · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Some, like me, believe that capitalization, punctuation, and proper spelling are valuable.

  10. Re:Spock cares! on Russia's Mars Mission Raising Concerns · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's just wrong. It's not the relative amount of carbon dioxide which is important. It's the absolute concentration of carbon dioxide which is important. Mars is so cold because its atmosphere is so thin. Adding a thicker atmosphere will cause Mars to become warmer.

    The last thing I expected is that spam would "run rampart".

  22. A good thing? on Wall Street's Collapse Is Computer Science's Gain · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you can count the influx of all these idiots as a good thing. CS could be better without them. The worst thing about the tech boom was the influx of all the inept yutzes calling themselves programmers.
