  1. Music does help on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    I recently did a study skills programme at my university. They insist that listening to music is helpful and helps you keep your concentration. Your boss does not sound very open minded, perhaps it is correct that other employees have been whining. I also recently worked in a laboratory. I was told portable music players are fine and sometimes helpful but however, I was not allowed to use them when working with hazardous chemicals and such.

  2. Quoting Sagan on The Science Credibility Bubble · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. But to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact..." "If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones." Then again he spoke for rather than against global warming. But he makes a damn good point. Everyone is demanding that the world be gullible and people who (healthily) doubt things are apparently terrible individuals. This is not what science is about.

  3. Safer to go outside on "Accidental" Download Sending 22-Year-Old Man To Prison · · Score: 1

    For a paedophile, it is probably a lot safer to actually go molest some kids nowadays rather than look for pictures on the internet. They should use all these resources to hunt down real criminals (bankers) instead.

  4. Black market on New Aliens Vs. Predator Game Doesn't Make It Past AU Ratings Board · · Score: 1

    There will be a black market for AvP now. You will go down town and find a drug dealer and be all like "yo homie, can I have a pack of death sticks? - Oh, and do you have a copy of AvP as well?"

  5. Turning a bad thing into a good thing... on SETI@home Project Responds To School Firing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The school should take pride in assisting with research and promote itself on the idea that it is the leading school in searching for alien life on other planets.

  6. Business is complicated on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    This says more about business rather than anything else. Even Somalian pirates can do it.

  7. Groups of people on Online "Guilds" Mirror Real Life Gangs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find that WoW guilds often resemble political parties. They have drama, scandals, split ups and disbands, just like in politics. Then again, it's a group of people, and a group of people is a group of people, regardless of location.

  8. Re:Yeah, April Fools... on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    Icelandic ATMs actually run Windows NT, some of them at least.

  9. 100 ISK are not notes on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    100 ISK are coins now, not notes. It has been that way for quite a few years but the notes were changed out for coins.

  10. Re:Recap of event on New Speed Record Set For Wind-Powered Vehicles · · Score: 1

    "Richaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!"

    "Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeenkins!" Reporters also claim witnessing consumption of Gallus gallus.

  11. WinFS on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 1

    I heard they had announced the release of WinFS...

  12. Alien? on Alien Comet May Have Infiltrated the Solar System · · Score: 1

    So all the other comets are not alien?

  13. Re:spiders on a spaceship! on Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station · · Score: 1

    I'm so sick of these mothaf*cking spiders on this mothaf*cking spaceship.
