  1. The answer to Everything on Allen Institute Data Enables Hackathon For the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    Lunkwill: Do you...
    Google X: Have an answer for you? Yes. But you're not going to like it.
    Fook: Please tell us. We must know!
    Google X: Okay. The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is...
    [wild cheers from audience, then silence]
    Google X: Pretty Kitty.

  2. Re:Next up - HD Transistors on Intel Designs Faster, 3D Transistor · · Score: 1

    That's what I'm talking about. Singularity Transistor.

  3. Next up - HD Transistors on Intel Designs Faster, 3D Transistor · · Score: 1

    What other trending marketing buzzwords can we apply to unrelated technology to get attention? Social Transistors? Transistors 2.0? Cloud Transistors? Tablet Transistors? iTransistor. What would truly be remarkable would be to develop a 2-dimensional transistor. Infinite layers of them with no height added to the die - and it'd still be slim enough to fit in a tablet!

  4. Includes the "magic 200-line" task grouping patch? on Linux 2.6.37 Released · · Score: 2

    Looking through the changelog I couldn't find anything immediately evident about whether or not the "200-line kernel patch which does wonders" was included in this release or not. Here is the related original post. Anybody know if it will be in there for certain? I may have to remove my Ubuntu alternative workaround outlined in the subsequent article before doing an upgrade.

  5. Re:I use Dvorak, you insensitive clod... on Unix Dict/grep Solves Left-Side-of-Keyboard Puzzle · · Score: 1

    The longest left-handed word is "okupukupu" - some fern plant. Not terribly interesting because you lose a lot of characters to punctuation

    grep -i '^[pyaoeuiqjkx]\{9,\}$' /usr/share/dict/words

    The longest right-handed word cannot have vowels, but the first results are...

    grep -i '^[fgcrldhtnsbmwvz]\{6,\}$' /usr/share/dict/words
    BSFMgt
    BSGMgt
    crwths
    ftncmd
    MSGMgt
    mtscmd
    SSTTSS
    WWMCCS

    The homerow results are much more interesting.

  6. Re:Because they're not Apple on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 1

    I would probably be there buying it if it had a 3.5mm headphone jack as well. Its pretty sad that is the only reason that I'm not. Silly HTC. I'm also looking forward to seeing what Sprint offers. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the awful GSM buzz/chirping interference on my speakers.

  7. Sirens of Titan on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of how they controlled the martian soldiers in the Sirens of Titan. Soon, maybe we'll be controlled by ice cream truck noises, buzzing bee sounds, and kitty-in-distress samples. It's really just easier to not eat meat.
