  1. Re:Um No. on Carbon Dioxide and Water Found On Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds.

    This is where that argument falls apart...

  2. Re:If it's really thinking.. on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    "Reading" implies, that the reader understands the meaning of the words. Those algorithms understand nothing. They would have no problem building a correctly written sentence out of that mess though.

  3. Re:the art of posing problems on The 23 Toughest Math Questions · · Score: 1

    Discovering the Secrets of the Human Brain gives us one free extra tech.

  4. Re:has anyone experienced the following: on Why One-time Passwords Suck For MITM Attacks · · Score: 1

    Uhm... if she was doing a search at Google, she was most likely not using the VPN connection, unless your wives employer happens to be Google and you're talking about their internal search mask or something...well I'm no Google insider. ;) Or maybe she used a client on the other side to access Google and your employer happens to be with the same provider?

  5. Re:For what value of 'year'? on Newly Discovered Young Galaxy Creates 4,000 Stars Per Year · · Score: 1

    There is definitely something odd with the timings in these deep space stories. If this event occurred in a 1.3 Billion years old universe, then our own point in this universe (or the point of whatever would become the milkyway later on) could've been only 2.6 Billion light years away from it max.
    So the wave front of this event should've passed us 5.2 Billion years later at most.
    The fact that we see this NOW means that either the light was delayed quite a bit (did it take a round trip?), or relativity is playing a trick on me once again.

    This must be a common thing for astronomers, so should be easy to answer for them, but I just cant figure it out. ;)

  6. Why Warhammer Fantasy... on Warhammer Online Sees Massive Content Removal To Make Launch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...and not 40k?
    Who thought we need yet another fantasy MMORPG with swordswinging, arrowshooting, fireball casting humans, orcs, dark/notsodark elves, undead etc etc etc?
    They had access to the Warhammer franchise and chose this... I couldnt care less about their deadline, or if they ever make it at all.
    Its not a Warhammer MMORPG for me, unless you give me a bolter and a power-armour.

  7. Look on the bright side of... on Bye Bye Bananas — the Return of Panama Disease · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will this finally be the end of "Peanut Butter Jelly Time"?

  8. Re:What next? on Five Days Locked in a Room With GTA IV · · Score: 1

    The near future! A remake of Syndicate (Wars) by Rockstar would be great.
