    I thought she has collapsed into black hole ...

  2. period of passing through the galaxy ecliptics? on Sun's Dark Companion 'Nemesis' Not So Likely · · Score: 5, Interesting

    isn't this the most simple explaination? Most stars in Mily Way arms are known to bounce up and down the ecliptic.

  3. missing story tag on Microsoft Out of Favor With Young, Hip Developers · · Score: 1

    this is where "sudden outbreak of common sense" tag should be used

  4. Re:Look at the numbers first on World Cup Prediction Failures · · Score: 1

    in case of Goldman Sachs its more like:

    1. They recommend betting 12, as 6's have rolled already 4 times in a row ('property prices have been rising steadily for a couple of years')
    2. they sell you a bet
    3. they cover one side of a dice with grease and shake table while dices are rolling.

    I don't know how similar scumbags work in your country, but in my their model is pretty much close to "let the fresh graduates do the thing > graduates compile whatever sh*t basing on whtever they could find in easily accessible sources > senior staff approves it without the proper attentions > invoice > profit"

    If it is so random, how come teams like Faroe Islands, San Marino and Andorra never make it to the World Cup knock-out phase? As a matter of fact, they never make it through eliminations, so never play during the games....

    And how come that some teams dominate (if not every season / world cup) - at least could take pride in winning world cup a few times; while many other nations never did it??

  7. Re:A GUI for the motherboard? on BIOS Will Be Dead In Three Years · · Score: 1

    And your bios does not support USB floppy emulation? Why would you need an extra USB port trimmed to 'floppy' functionality and taking entire 3.5" bay?

    because it sucked?
    I remember a friend of mine have one of these; it was great advertisement for sticking to award bios.

    so .... you really say that thousands of American soldiers should be tried in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and many other places? It is hard to argue with that they fired there quite a lot of ammo.

    Oh, I see. You say that was war. However, in the eyes of people of Iraq, Afghanistan and so on - they were terrorists.

  12. Re:Of course, that assumes the setup changes that on AMD Multi-Display Tech Has Problems, Potential · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a 1995 Doom 1 edition supported multiple monitors (attached to multiple workstations). If one could use 3 PCs for a single player, if worked nicely and gave advantage of sideviews.

  13. Re:Software Recognizes Sarcastic Tweets? on Software Recognizes Sarcastic Tweets · · Score: 1

    It has more chances if guesses "sarcastic" all the time, as 'false positive' is less likely than 'false negative'. After all, 70% of all praise is sarcastic

    It also made me think of Brazil - but a country, not a movie.

    If border searches are imposed, US citizens will have their arses probed when entering Brazil.
