  1. Re:Always be saving. Dont ask. on Microsoft Patents OS Shutdown · · Score: 1

    This is true to some extent. When I started using linux, a lot of stuff in the GUI config program saved automaitcally. I made my changes and then spent about a minute looking for a "Apply" or "Save" button.

  2. Smells funny... on Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine · · Score: 1

    "uses the sugar rich urine or elderly diabetics to make his high-end single malt whisky"
    So not only will it smell of wee, it'll also smell of... uhh... well, more wee!

  3. Re:Why not... on Machining a TI-89 Out of Aluminum · · Score: 1

    He could've just used duct tape and be the envy of his class mates! Besides, it'll give him the same grey finish that he wants..

  4. Much higher on Autism Diagnosed With a Fifteen Minute Brain Scan · · Score: 5, Informative

    its actually much higher than that. What you're quoting is that 1 in 10 people with autism and given a false negative. Its actually much worse. Out of 10,000 children, 1980 would be found positive, out of which only 90 would have the disease. So only about 5% of people who tested postive would actually be autistic. It says this in TFA.

  5. Re:Doesnt solve the problem. on The Coming Onslaught of iPad Competitors · · Score: 1

    I bet I could make one for cheaper if I had a hoarde of chinese people in sweatshops working for me!

  8. Lost money on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    they will no doubt discover that it's just as easy to lose money as to make it. When they do, the security of their old, relatively low-paying gigs might start to look pretty good.

    Probably not. While they will lose money, they'll probably already madk a couple years salary by that time, so its still worthwhile to do it.

  9. Re:pay not always linked to income on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    Oh that's right, you can't DO that, can you?

    Not only did you not read the article, you also didn't read any other comments. If you had, you'd find that they can do it. From now one, v1, everyone will KNOW you're an idiot...
