  1. Re:It is always strange for me... on Pink Floyd Give In To Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    I hate it when on the radio they play "Another Brick in the Wall Part II," without including the previous track "The Happiest Days of Our Lives." They fit together perfectly.

    About as interesting as spinning top made of clay.

  4. Re:Unofficial History of Ebonics on Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Evolution is defined as a 'process of change in a certain direction.' Whether its evolving for the better or worse is not the point being made.

  5. Unofficial History of Ebonics on Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Oakland, CA, ebonics originated because some educators were making a point that language was evolving in some communities, and the education system must recognize that the common language young people are speaking is changing. The goal of these educators was to get the educational funding they need to teach these students English and English grammar, not to legitimatize yet another language the California educational system would have to support.

  13. Re:Slashdot makes my day on Scientists Reverse Muscular Dystrophy In Dogs · · Score: 1

    Beautiful. Is this the first time we have had a real overlord on Slashdot? Bow down to me! But seriously, what I have is a single point mutation, so skipping errors is a reason to be optimistic. I do not know if skipping a single point will increase dystrophin in people with Becker's MD, but skipping an error and running execute something else would be the winner. Actually, what I need is a substitution regex.

  14. Slashdot makes my day on Scientists Reverse Muscular Dystrophy In Dogs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As one diagnosed with Becker's MD, a milder form of DMD, I, for one, welcome my new exon-skipping overlords. For those of you who are wondering if you should go to the gym, run, jog, shoot hoops, or play soccer today. I give you the same advice that I give to my three boys: Run, because you can.

  15. Re:Silly person. on Spiraling Skyscraper Farms For a Future Manhattan · · Score: 1

    Oh I get it. The building itself is like a human Venus flytrap. New Yorkers go into the building and they get Soylent Greened. Think 'green' my ass, I know what 'they' are up to now.

  19. Re:Anthropomorphism on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 1

    Thanks to President Bush, I have been calling it "The Google." Thanks to you, from now on, I will call it "him."

  20. The Button at the Top of the Screen on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you all, but when I looked at the picture of the control room, I incorrectly through the banner ad was for a Fart Button was part of the picture. This of course struck me as funny as I was wondering why would the scientists at the LHC need a Fart Button?

  21. Re:The first try . . . on Software To Provide Astronaut Counseling · · Score: 1

    The other issue NASA wasn't too fond of were the fact that every time the software encountered an error, all the instruments would turn blue and the spacecraft would crash into the Pacific Ocean

    So is that the same blue used in the blue screen of death? I always love an interesting root cause analysis story, especially when they come from NASA.

  22. Re:A license for Blanket Music? on Support Grows For Blanket Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    Blanket Music. Wasn't that some Brian Eno or Alan Parsons concept album from the 1970's?
