  1. Re:OK on Steam Music Now Accepting Beta Signups · · Score: 1

    That would be a great feature.

    ON the plus side, with steam it looks like you will be able to set playlists to games.

    Rumor is you will be able to do that based on tempo as well

  2. Re:The More "Questing" for Domination the Better on Steam Music Now Accepting Beta Signups · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, Valve only deals in a currency knows as 'Hats'.

    heh

    That just tells me that if this where 1920, you would still own a horse becasue cars wouldn't have enough range.

    "The bottom line is that Automobiles will remain a niche market until advancements in gasoline technology bring down the costs enough to be competitive with hay "

  5. Re:But Does it Scale? on Tesla Touts Cross-Country Trip, Aims For World Record · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just like they built all the gas station before putting cars on the road.

    Come on, with popularity charging stations will be built.

  6. Re:Is It Safe? on Researchers Try To "Close the Nutrient Cycle" Through Better Waste Recycling · · Score: 1

    It's a shame no well blinded study has ever fact your belief that 'organic' tomatoes taste better.
    It underscores your ignorance of what organic is.

    " We humans like to simply our understanding of things and then we act on them based on our simplified models."
    think upon that before posting.

  7. Re:I use one of these... on Researchers Try To "Close the Nutrient Cycle" Through Better Waste Recycling · · Score: 2

    Wow, bring back all the crap that use to kill thousands of people a year. Well done on your drive to take us to the dark ages.

    Urine is NOT sterile. That myth needs to die in a fire.
    There are many disease that can appear through urine, even in health people.

    Untreated solid waste also carries many disease. I"m not sure why you think the magically go away.

    already do this.

  9. Re:Scholarships, you mean on James Dyson: We Should Pay Students To Study Engineering · · Score: 1

    Overlooking the fact that the Wookies didn't not design or engineer the death star, they where manual labor. It's like congratulating a bridge welder on the great engineering design of a bridge.

    Which begs the question: Why? They had droids.

    "'re-factoring' (code for rewrite)"
    No.
    Code rewrite and refactoring are different things. Stop mixing the two. If you don't understand that, please don't touch any code... ever.

  12. Document the code on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Do If You're Given a Broken Project? · · Score: 1

    give logical reason why it's a POS,and why each issue cause other issues.
    Explain to them the cost.
    Use examples.
    Then they will either ask you to keep on it, or to rewrite it.
    Unless the point blank ask, never mention rewrite. Always let them come to the conclusion to rewrite it.

    Always worked for me.

    her name isn't Alice. ;)

  14. Re:Paper has some cool pictures? on Flying Snake Mysteries Revealed · · Score: 1

    hmm, no.
    A photograph is an out of context snapshot of time. They need context for accuracy.
    Written descriptions can be far more efficient at communicating information.

    Better yet, use both.

  15. The only mystery about the flying snake is on Flying Snake Mysteries Revealed · · Score: 1

    why haven't we killed them all yet?

    the stars are globe shaped.

    There is no reason they can't exist, nor have many of the ways to look for them been completed.

  18. Re:Contradicts current theory? on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 1

    no, it' does not contradict it at all. What it seems to have done is underscore the fact that you don't know what a scientific theory is, or is not.

    It's new information that in no way changes what we know, only ADDS to it.
    It's not like it broke Ohm's law.

    Just like Einstein didn't make anything Newton discovered incorrect.

    It was discovered by Dr. Monopole, duh.

  20. Re:Monopole Magnets on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 1

    There is no enlightenment, there is only acceptance of a narrative..an often incorrect narrative.

    "...but concrete and profitable applications as well."
    which is the stupidest thing you can say about science, and the stupidest way to measure scientist success.
    Great way to kill research, tho.
    I suspect anyone who says that is just looking for an excuse to kill scientific investigation.

    No one knew electricity was going to lead to iPhones.

    You use science to find out how things work and publish it. Engineers use those finding to build things.

    Nano tube winding are possible.

    The group that find a way to mass produce long nano tube will be rich and will change the worlds.

    Unless you built the compiler, review the code in everything on your Linux system, wrote the BIOS on your machine, then you probably shouldn't trust any computer.
