  1. Re:How about some nice menus instead? on Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org · · Score: 1

    It sucks the big wet titty

    I'm confused. This sounds like my idea of an evening well spent, but from context I get the impression that you mean it derogatory.

  2. Re:Bye, bye. on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 1

    So, yes, most information is free. Having someone gather it up for you is not

    Increasingly it is. Newspapers rely less and less on press photographers for instance. No need to when you can put up camphone pictures from bystanders for free.

    Sure the quality sucks, but the readers don't seem to care.

    Eating your soup cold out of the can is even more efficient. Cooking != physics.

    Natural Language Processing is the cornerstone of any relationship.

    But can the guy who suggested Neuro Linguistic Programming recommend some introductory books on the subject? I'd rather not spend $$$ on a Bandler seminar only to find out that it is bunk. (I'm guessing that NLP is Ericksonian hypnosis + overblown hype, but that some of it might prove useful.)

    Then again he may be on his period, or have problems with his colon.

  7. Re:What's so special about green? on Finally, a True Green Laser · · Score: 1

    Green is very visible, plus the fact that 1064nm->532nm crystals were already in production for frequency doubling the output of Nb-YAG solid state lasers. (These crystals only work efficiently over a narrow range of wavelengths)

  8. Re:True green laser? on Finally, a True Green Laser · · Score: 1

    You forgot dye lasers. Those babies can be tuned to any color you want (within the range of the organic dye used of course) although CW dye lasers require powerful pump lasers and plenty of plumbing.

  9. Re:Yeah, let's do the math... on English DJ Claims Wi-Fi Allergy · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am slighty allergic to WiFi but only to packets that have their evil bit set.

  11. Re:It is a common misconception about evolution on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whay about efficiency? It like standardization. One god needs only one type of prayer one type of priest and only one myth. Think of the gains our theological monoculture will bring!!!

    And you can wake me when it (or it's prospective owner) actually transforms into a sentient humanoid.

  13. Re:two possible improvements on OLED Breakthrough Yields 75% More Efficient Lights · · Score: 3, Informative

    Those are silver salts (mostly nitrate and halides). Metallic silver isn't affected by light. That's why it makes excellent mirrors (until oxygen gets to it of course)

  14. Re:Going back to old games on US Videogame Sales Have Biggest Drop In 9 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Diablo 2 ... Baldur's Gate 2 ... Diablo 3 ... the new Monkey Island

    Ahh back to the golden age of gaming where every game wasn't a sequel or a remake of an older game.

    Why call it a flip-flop when you can give it it's proper name: an astable multivibrator?

    A classroom full of sniggers is guaranteed.

  17. What would happen... on Navy Spends $33 Million For Hybrid of the High Sea · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If 30 tons of Lithium batteries burst open on the high seas? After,say, a torpedo strike?

    I bet it would be spectacular.
