  1. IP Theft Alert! on New Reality Series: Be the Next Microsoft Employee · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Duh on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 5, Funny

    The red is all that is left of the pigment as the soul leaves, it's science.

  3. Duh on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's what happens when you are without a soul.

  4. Re:NASA budget is two days expenditure by the US on Is the OMB Trying To End Planetary Exploration? · · Score: 1
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22184921/ns/nightly_news/t/blatant-medicare-fraud-costs-taxpayers-billions/#.TpXbYd6In3o

    The article says 60 billion USD. The google search said 100 billion USD. The article is also from 2010, so the estimate more than likely would only be higher.

    Happy day, eh?

  5. Re:I appreciate the warning on Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game · · Score: 1
    All we know...he's called the Stig!

    so, not the most interesting gamer, just some desperate driving instructor?

  6. Laws are so hard to follow on The Dirty Little Secrets of Search · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems these companies, J.C.Penney, BMW, on and on, are as interested in keeping up with Google's "Laws", how to adhere to them, how to avoid them, how to get around them, than they are with actual civil laws of employee treatment, customer safety, and societal taxes.

  7. Not good enough already? on Pandora Files For IPO · · Score: 1

    Pandora has seemed to grow ever worse at delivering the music i enjoy on a regular basis, so for when I'm not in a particularly discovery-type mood I've already moved on to Grooveshark. Wish Pandora had their features too, maybe the IPO capital will allow them to absorb grooveshark? hmm...

  8. Re:Piracy on Game Devs On the Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    I have always had the idea of an uber-cyber world where something like Second-Life is where you go to access all your games and applications. This way you have a single avatar whose reputation carries from one game to the next. It seems like this idea I had from at least the mid-90's is starting to get all the pieces needed to actually work: cloud-based games and apps, Second-Life itself (though I'd hope something fresh and better would be created at some point), and the demand for such an experience. And since the online authentication seems to be a pretty good way to combat piracy, this system would work for the developers. The idea expands farther than this simple skeleton, certainly, but I'm surprised it hasn't happened quite yet. EA seems like they are trying parts of the idea, I'm sure there are other companies with similar approaches, but none so far have hit every point and made it seamless and reliable. Still waiting...

  9. Re:While slightly humorous on 2009 Darwin Award Winners Announced · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is not the dead that are being insulted, it is the manner in which they decided to become so.

  10. The Sun? on Dad Delivers Baby Using Wiki · · Score: 1

    Is anyone other than The effing Sun reporting this?

  11. Re:Parkinson's laws on Harvard Says Computers Don't Save Hospitals Money · · Score: 1

    Or, just go with what you want, you have a choice: fast, good, cheap. Pick two.

  12. Re:Don't wanna on The Gathering Storm Discussion · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Burned. Bummer.

  13. Re:Stop Taking Notes on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think many people miss the point of the OP. This teacher wishes to give his/her students the maximum amount of exposure to the material. Verbally with lecture, visually with preprinted notes, and tactically with the, hopefully recommended, practice practice practice of the material. OP might have neglected to say this in the post, but that's the accepted practice of teaching these days. And if OP is not doing this, then OP should start immediately before I start having the same complaints.

  14. Wrong SeaMonkey on Mozilla Releases SeaMonkey 2.0 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was so excited for a new version of the copyrighted brine shrimp. Imagine my disappointment when I click to view TFA. *sigh*

  15. Re:Really on Study Says US Needs Fewer Science Students · · Score: 1

    I always think people are making some crazy reference to quantum electrodynamics when they don't specify Q.E.D. and instead just put QED. Very confusing. Sorry. Oh, and I think we should start our proofs with 'if' statements and end them with 'then' statements, but that might just be me being a jerk.

  16. Re:Good grief.. on Save the Planet, Eat Your Dog · · Score: 1

    Too late, in the hands of the enemy already: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,569218,00.html

  17. Yard Sales on The Science of Irrational Decisions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is exactly why I never buy anything that is not previously labeled with a price. I will negotiate but not if I have to contemplate a starting value myself.

  18. Uhh... on Are Software Developers Naturally Weird? · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  19. Re:I Learned All My History from Civ2 on History In Video Games — a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    And then you got a blue screen of death just prior to world domination. Am I right? Folks? I'm sure I wasn't the only heartbroken Civ player here.

  20. Re:not many use it substantively, though on History In Video Games — a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    God, I love Oregon Trail.

  21. The industry needs new consoles on The Changing Face of the Console Wars · · Score: 1

    I, for one, chose to largely skip this generation of consoles. So, if the industry wants my dollars they better get that new generation in production.

  22. One variation on a given option. on What To Do With a Free Xbox 360 Pro? · · Score: 1

    Give it to a favorite niece, nephews get their video games without asking all the time, its the females that need spoon fed video games now.

  23. Forgive my spelling but... on Andromeda Devouring Neighbor Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Bowwww-chickaaa-bow bow.

  24. Re:Ya, so... on Monkeys Show Language Recognition · · Score: 1

    Co-evolution.

  25. Redundant research on Asperger Syndrome Tied To Low Cortisol Levels · · Score: 1

    After reading the article, and absorbing the researchers' suggestion, I would like to point out that caregivers of people with AS, and other issues, have been doing the redirection technique for quite a while now. Publish something when you have something to publish.
