  1. Re:Not conclusive on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Is Driver Error · · Score: 1

    What would I do? Oh I don't know, Learn to drive maybe?

  2. Re:Yet I still pay for CDs... on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 4, Funny

    Master of Overkill, I think you are.

  3. Re:Bargain? $200? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Maybe we can call them "Gaming video cards" in which case $200 may well be bargain priced.

  4. Re:What's so liberal about it? on Claimed Proof That UNIX Code Was Copied Into Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're not a programmer are you. The header files are pretty much just a bunch of definitions. there is no programming to speak of in either of those files. From reading the Posix standards you will end up with the same code but with your own comments. The header files are a lot like the ingredients section of a recipe. So it's like looking at two recipes for omelets then complaining that both have eggs listed in the ingredients section.

  5. Re:"sex" is too vanilla to sell on Regular Domains Have More Malware Than Porn Sites · · Score: 4, Funny

    Porn sites have words?

  6. Re:The Planets' Symbols on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 2, Funny

    So the next time I see a sun tattoo between a girls shoulder blades it is safe to ask "Can I see Uranus"?

    I think the line was crossed when he could not explain why he had them. If he said he was coming back form camping, I'm sure he would be at home by now, with a personal escort until Monday.

  9. Re:Neat on Building a Homemade Nuclear Reactor In NYC · · Score: 3, Funny

    There seems to be a lot of humor impaired moderators this week.

  10. Re:Cross Browser Compatibility? on IE9 Preview Touts Cross Browser Compatibility · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Right, so how is a Browser development team working towards cross-browser compatibility? Me thinks it is market speak for "embrace extend extinguish".

  11. Cross Browser Compatibility? on IE9 Preview Touts Cross Browser Compatibility · · Score: 1

    Is that a euphemism for standards compliant?

  12. Re:In a stunning announcement on New Fossil Sheds Light On Lucy's Family Tree · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity has links to 50 some odd references and a few references to publications of tests including B. Bertotti, L. Iess and P. Tortora, "A test of general relativity using radio links with the Cassini spacecraft", Nature 425, 374 (2003).

  13. Re:In a stunning announcement on New Fossil Sheds Light On Lucy's Family Tree · · Score: 2, Informative

    NO it is not. The funny thing about science is you can test your theories. The theories of Creationism all fail basic testing. Or are stated in such a way that they are not testable, therefore they are not science.

  14. Re:The gap is permanent on Struggling To Bridge the Casual-Hardcore Game Gap · · Score: 1

    Let me just add from all us older casual gamers. Many of us are happy to part with $100, or so, a year for a few games. Do you want the money or not? Cause I sure ain't going to become a hardcore gamer or even dedicated to any one gaming system. Keep making games that don't involve too much dedication but are not too childish and I'll keep giving you my money.

  15. Screen versus print. on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    HTML should render adequately in any browser - or your doing it wrong. In print I thoroughly suggest very literal html/css as in absolute measurements for everything. Or if warranted pass the HTML through princeXML on its way to becoming a PDF, you will have much more consistent results that you can count on.

  16. Re:It's a real risk for Zuckerman on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 3, Informative

    When traveling outside your own country it is a good idea to plan for court systems that use the guilty unless proven innocent system.

  17. Re:look, i like making fun of star trek technobabb on How To Destroy a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    More of a Giant than a Dwarf from what my scarred psyche remembers.

  18. Re:Well, just you just keep on driving on Cloth Successfully Separates Oil From Gulf Water · · Score: 2, Informative

    Deepwater Horizon drilled a hole under 5000 feet of water. The depth of the drill hole through bedrock is 30,000 feet. While the bole hole is a feat, the trouble capping the well is more related to the depth of the water above the well not the depth of the well itself.

  19. Re:1.5 Trillion?! on RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hey, we pay a tax, on all recordable media, to them already.

  20. Re:Story is from The Sun on Doctor Slams Hospital's "Please" Policy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    To the moderator: Given Fox News earned the moniker Faux News after going to court to defend it's right to literally lie in it's news casts, I fail to see how Troll is an appropriate moderation.

  21. Re:Story is from The Sun on Doctor Slams Hospital's "Please" Policy · · Score: 3, Informative

    The sun is affiliated with Faux News?

    NO, I'm not. I know a few Russians, but you are being far to cryptic for me. Care to elucidate your thoughts?

  24. Re:Head down in shame on Reproducing an Ancient New World Beer · · Score: 1

    Erm, What? I think the Russians are also rather into experimenting with alcohol.

  25. Re:How about some metric figures? on New Estimates Say Earth's Oceans Smaller Than Once Believed · · Score: 1

    The original article is in Metric, Fox just buggered with the numbers. http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=7545&tid=282&cid=74755&ct=162
