  1. Re:We already knew it worked for mice on Scientists Build a Smarter Rat · · Score: 1

    sweet! better memory *and* a weight loss treatment in one. :-P

  2. cellphones replace much of this in Africa... on Developing Nations Crippled By Broadband Costs · · Score: 2, Informative

    That'd be why telecos are gearing up for big business including cellular banking in Africa http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0826/p07s01-woaf.html.

  3. Re:Explained by a Simple Formula on When Libertarians Attack Free Software · · Score: 1

    You're confusing the seizure of power by the colonial elites from the King of England with with something more noble.

  4. legal analysts too stupid for number crunching? on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 1

    This isn't hard core number crunching or anything, but why does it take an econ PhD to figure out something's wrong with the criminal justice system?

  5. Re:Legal Malpractice on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Holy sh!t. So 1 of every 10 cases in Maryland should result in malpractice suit? That's a stunningly low quality of lawyers in this PhD's sample.

  6. Re:Faster... on Sneak Preview of New OpenOffice 3.2 · · Score: 1

    I'll have to ask how the fonts, formats and reviewing comments keep changing and/or disappearing going back and forth from my client (Office 2007) and our company (Office 2003). Certainly, it's less than 100% backward and forward compatible, which is all the screw-up needed in highly technical writing.

  7. Re:Computational Problem on The Problem of Shards, Servers, and Queues In MMOs · · Score: 1

    Wow! I had no idea Central Michigan's program was so well regarded. ;-)

  8. Re:All your base... on EU Funding "Orwellian" Artificial Intelligence Snooping System · · Score: 1

    At first I thought this was going to be a haiku response to the topic. Oh well.

  9. Re:THIS .... on NASA Robots and Rovers At Play In the Desert · · Score: 1

    Typo in my post. I meant "appropriated", not "appropriate". I'm not trying to make value judgments on what missions NASA should and shouldn't do.

  10. Re:THIS .... on NASA Robots and Rovers At Play In the Desert · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While I agree with the premise of NASA doing more basic research the privatization remark is a non sequitur. NASA has consistently had its funding slashed since the 60's. Increasing funding to allow them to do basic research should be the aim, not maintain a budget which doesn't allow them to perform their current appropriate and mandated missions.

  11. Re:Liar. on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 1

    To some degree perhaps, but the fact that there is so much documented language, etc. both spoken (video) and written has actually acted as a unifying factor in language--not a differentiating factor. So yes, language evolves, but cultural and linguistic isolation are less and less possible. So, we are all becoming more alike while while our languages merge. It's a fascinating paradox.

  12. Depressive Realism... on Depression May Provide Cognitive Advantages · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is well known and documented already. Knowing about reality can be a real downer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressive_realism.

  13. Re:I bomb too on New Species of Worms Found To Release "Bombs" · · Score: 1

    Skadoosh.

    if that's the only disease that went back in that direction... I think the native american got the short end of the stick... so to speak.

  15. Re:Is he actually the first person who has died? on Teen Killed At Chinese Internet Addiction Camp · · Score: 1

    doubtful... the market is too big, apparently.

  16. Re:age discrimination on Andreessen's Secret Plan To Find the Next Netscape · · Score: 0

    Brilliant people *get* the money from other people. Big difference in terms of ethics and salesmanship.

  17. Re:One hell of a statement on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    Never done or always in beta,... that is the question. Probably the answer, too, since continual improvement (or so it's said) is a good thing.

  18. Re:Apt on Novell Ponders "Open-Source Apps Store" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    making FOSS more consumer friendly is not a bad thing. giving people freedom of choice the can understand versus paying for limited choice seems to be pretty good. who cares if it's just a web-based on downloadable interface for apt?

  19. Hanz and Franz... on Hydraulic Analog Computer From 1949 · · Score: 1

  20. Re:ZOMG hackers crash plane! on SGI's Open Source Performance Co-Pilot · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Really mods? Troll? Not your sense of humor I guess, so mod me off-topic. Pretty sure I'm not picking a fight with anyone but myself, though.

  21. Re:ZOMG hackers crash plane! on SGI's Open Source Performance Co-Pilot · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Otto Pilot was definitely hackable, too. Though physical access would then be required.

  22. ZOMG hackers crash plane! on SGI's Open Source Performance Co-Pilot · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Alright, I'm an idiot, but I first read OSS as a co-pilot and thought we were replacing someone in the cockpit with something hackable.

  23. Re:not that i necessarily believe monsanto, but... on Biotech Company To Patent Pigs · · Score: 1

    The fact that the company is named "Newsham Genetics" may be a hint on if to believe.

    "No one cares about open sores software exact Nazis, Communists and pedophiles or any combination thereof."

    Um... I care about open sores. I don't want them.
