  1. Re:I want to join in! on Respected Developers Begin Fleeing the App Store · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nope, it's been rejected. Even Pre-rejected.

  2. Re:Leaving the mac store? on Respected Developers Begin Fleeing the App Store · · Score: 1

    Sorry, rejected...

  3. Re: Not paying enough on Bing Gains 10% Marketshare · · Score: 1

    It is very simple. You're not paying Bing to get trafic, so you get no trafic from Bing. I guess that anyway, all those visits are from their bot...

    The reason why I'm not using Bing is that everytime I used it, results were irrelevant.

  4. Re:thorium on CERN Physicist Warns About Uranium Shortage · · Score: 1

    Problem is: we won't have enough energy to send miners to the moon by then, we "barely have enough" for us without this "project" of a "Lunaranium" mine

    We should have thought about that years ago, now, we're f**ked!

  5. Before you click! on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the future, the content will be loaded before you click! Unfortunately, it's not like it today, so I didn't make the first post...

  6. Always dreamed about that... on Japan Eyes Solar Station In Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...ever since I played SimCity 2000... But I don't want the beam pointing toward my head when I am not wearing my tinfoil hat!

  7. One thing to say on Congress May Require ISPs To Block Certain Fraud Sites · · Score: -1

    It's about time!

  8. Re:Dam on Transpacific Unity Fiber Optic Cable Leaves Japan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't think women look at how guys spell as a factor for whether or not they're going to have sex. You seriously think that being a "good guy" will get you any sex? Think twice! :-)

  9. Re:Dam on Transpacific Unity Fiber Optic Cable Leaves Japan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your turn will come someday

    Not

  10. Force Feedback? on Toyota Experimenting With Joystick Control For Cars · · Score: 1

    The steering usually gives good feedback of the road. Will there be some feedback in the joystick too? It's essential to the driving experience!

  11. Re:Obligatory on Scientists Write Memories Directly Into Fly Brains · · Score: 1

    The reference to the Matrix is not that bad, but what about "The Fly" and "Total Recall" at the same time? Strange mix though...

  12. Re:Altitude on Australian Student Balloon Rises 100,000 Feet, With a Digital Camera · · Score: 5, Funny

    But you get fewer press coverage without the kid...

  13. Re:Will errors ever go away? on CT Scan "Reset Error" Gives 206 Patients Radiation Overdose · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Mmmmm, anyway, people are always involved if you have a machine. The machine didn't build itself!

  14. Default setting... on CT Scan "Reset Error" Gives 206 Patients Radiation Overdose · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The default setting for an equipment that can be lethal should be "Emit zero radiation". Then for each exposure, set the level of radiation you intend to use. This way, you ALWAYS KNOW the level of radiation the equipment will emit.

    Better investigate "Hey, we got no picture" than "Hey, we got pictures, but everyone dies after that..."

    Didn't RTFA.

  15. Re:Duh, that's what a restraining order is on Facebook User Arrested For a Poke · · Score: 1

    But isn't a poke something sexual anyway? I used to be member of a group called "Enough with poking, let's just have sex". Poking is not what it used to be...

  16. Re:Robots on Front Row Seats To NASA's Lunar Impact · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe it is because of the extremely low temperature at the moon's poles and that any robotic being would not survive. I also understand that any water ice exposed to the sun on the moon would almost instantly sublimate, so I guess that an impact lifting tons of moon regolith is the most logical step in seeing water ice for a short moment, right before it sublimates because of the sun's energy it will be exposed to.

  17. Re:So glad... on Sony Sued Over Bricked PS3s · · Score: 1

    So MS is a lot more eco-friendly than Sony. Save bandwidth, save power, save Earth!

  18. Re:"Improves System Stability" on Sony Sued Over Bricked PS3s · · Score: 1

    Hell no, many bricks are unstable. Depends on the footing.

  19. Re:Copy protection on Sony Sued Over Bricked PS3s · · Score: 1

    I bet only old Playstation consoles like mine (40GB) are at risk. You know what? It's been running for too long at Sony's taste. Time to buy another one, or pay them to make it work again.

  20. Re:FOSS on Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation · · Score: 1

    Knowing a little bit about Websense, I know that you can give access to different types of content based on the user account. So this is what I meant, that a senior executive would ask for (and get) a complete, unrestricted access.

  21. Re:FOSS on Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation · · Score: 1

    I'd take a guess saying that a "Senior executive" would have a bypass for this kind of protection anyway...

    Nope. Shit saves the planet!

  23. Re:Lately on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I just don't think think we're spending the research money that's needed

    No, we're spending on marketing to sell the cheap stuff...

  24. Re:Flying Car on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Well, this is all linked to economy...
    • Supersonic flight costs a lot more than subsonic
    • Flights to the moon cost a lot of money and you don't make a penny out of it

    This is obvious that progress alone does not drive decisions. Money does.

    As for your flying car, you'll start seeing it when we have drivers who can safely drive on 3 dimensional roads, and for that, you have to be able to do it safely on 2 dimensional roads first, which can be far, far away...

  25. Re:How about good samaritans? on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    If I wanted to be a good samaritan, it would not be with a governor who had, by 2007, an average salary of 124 398$. It would be with a poor family, a child, anyone who can't afford it. Not a governor...
