  1. Re:I am offended on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 1

    Weird. Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere.

  2. Re:Any formal training in Comp. Sci. or Comp. Eng. on Intel Details Handling Anti-Aliasing On CPUs · · Score: 1

    Can I get a vote in for "Cromulently Parallel?"

  3. Re:G+ just needs some games on Facebook Is Most Hated Social Media Company · · Score: 1

    Maybe it stands for Dash Slot?

  4. Re:Methinks it be the script-kiddies on Is This the Golden Age of Hacking? · · Score: 1

    In addition to the good points made in other replies, don't forget that many of the hackers are working from outside the U.S. and countries with whom we have extradition agreements. Labelling them a criminal is fine and good, but it may be next to impossible to serve justice without military action.

  5. Re:All bets are off! on Chinese iPad Factory Staff Forced To Sign 'No Suicide' Pledge · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you're right. But I think in that particular instance it would come by way of a "US ALCOHOL == PISS" post.

  6. Re:What a waste of time! on Blue Gene/P Reaches Sixty-Trillionth of Pi Squared · · Score: 2

    Since they're calculating in binary, your taking ten attempts to guess isn't really something to brag about. ;-)

  7. Re:Positions? No, poisonitions. on Google, Microsoft In Epic Hiring War · · Score: 1

    What about Bob?

  8. Re:Black hat SEO? on The Dirty Little Secrets of Search · · Score: 1

    It's not like the AC and I were sitting at a table with a collection of cubes in our hands.

    Or, to be more abstract, a collection of rectangular prisms. ;-)
    Halfway through packing for a move, I really wish more boxen were uniform cubes.

  9. Re:1 zetabyte = 1024 exabytes on The Sum Total of the World's Knowledge: 250 Exabytes · · Score: 1

    I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your banana-powered, zebra byte newsletter.

  10. Re:Sloppy Half-circle on Aboriginal Sundial Pre-Dates Stonehenge · · Score: 1

    I can think of at least one thing. ;-) The fact that there are still little aborigines running around suggests they may have thought of that, too.

  11. It sounds like on Research Finds That Electric Fields Help Neurons Fire · · Score: 2

    This might push back the goalposts for the AI researchers. If neurons communicate over some distance, as well as directly with synapses, that would be several orders of magnitude more connections than we had thought.

  12. Re:Very mixed feelings here... on Giant Archaeological Trove Found Via Google Earth · · Score: 1

    I will restrain myself and not state the obvious joke.

    Come on, man! Why would jew leave us hanging like that?!

  13. Re:Not necessarily... BUT... on Reeves Rumors Reversed · · Score: 1

    Was it this one? (Note: /.'s new and improvised comment system doesn't seem to go directly to the comment anymore. You might have to navigate for it.)

  14. Re:No. on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be a Police Call Box?

  15. Re:Writing on Study Sez Txt Msgs Make Kidz Gr8 Spellrz · · Score: 1

    Righteous! Say "Hi" to So-crates for me, dude.

  16. Re:Writing on Study Sez Txt Msgs Make Kidz Gr8 Spellrz · · Score: 1

    ...called it a thypoon.

    But, there ith no thypoon!

  17. Re:Writing on Study Sez Txt Msgs Make Kidz Gr8 Spellrz · · Score: 1

    But would you give up your kingdom for it?

  18. Re:In English on Euler's Partition Function Theory Finished · · Score: 1

    ...was not the laser considered a usless exercise in physics once? The net of today would be very different without it...

    Right, there wouldn't be any Youtube videos of cats chasing the little red dot from a laser pointer!~

  19. Re:Mr. Ono... on Euler's Partition Function Theory Finished · · Score: 1

    In this case, wouldn't it be striking "Eul?"

  20. Re:Yay! on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    One of the popular Dremel attachments is a thin abrasive disc that can be used to put a new slot in a screw head that has become rusted, stripped, or otherwise impossible to remove.

  21. Re:Yay! on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    What's more, they'll have an iGenius® do it!

  22. Re:Ham Radio is dying about as fast as on NASA Seeks Ham Operators' Help To Test NanoSail-D · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know. Granted I was only 10 years old in 1993, but I still knew AOL was trouble. (FWIW, I didn't personally get online for another few years.)

    The "What?" buried at the bottom of my post was an (unsuccessful) attempt to stave off the whoosh. I suppose I should use the "~" more often :-)

  23. Re:Ham Radio is dying about as fast as on NASA Seeks Ham Operators' Help To Test NanoSail-D · · Score: 1

    The calendar on my wall, and the timestamp on your post both say it's January.





    What?

  24. Re:Quick, the Ink Will Dry While He's Sick! on The iPad Will Get Playboy In March · · Score: 1

    Better yet, the iPad is heavy enough that your forearms won't get lopsided!

  25. Re:Careful watching the video on Bad Science Writer Talks About the Placebo Effect *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    Crap.

    Anybody have any spare drawers? Size *mumble mumble*?
