  1. Re:I have a bunch of these on Niue WiFi Network Gone, .nu TLD May Follow · · Score: 1

    I knew that Sweden was very liberal, but
    *Radium* dental floss? Do you have the new
    Plutonium douche products in stock as well?

    > If they want self rule they should have self financing, period.

    Why?

    By that reasoning, every homemaker spouse is
    a prostitute.

    There is no truth, therefore I can lie all I want?

  4. Re:Check the links, editors on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    Who gives a shit what shape the landscape is, I just want to know what fucking color stuff is.

  5. Re:Check the links, editors on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    No, the general public wants to see what's there,
    as opposed to some photoshop nerdboy's notion
    of what it would look like to be on mars if
    you were a bee.

  6. Re:I'm an idiot. on Sony X505/SP Notebook Review · · Score: 1

    You may be an idiot, but I'm the confused one:
    Should this be -1 Troll, or +1 Insightful?

    > I suggest you go through the following

    > write an FFT using that complex number class...

    I suggest that you don't. It would be very
    unrepresentative of how one would solve the
    problem in Java. Instead, write a complex
    *array* class, and an FFT using that complex
    array class.

  9. Re:Speed or accuracy? on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    Those complaints are now obsolete.

  10. Re:Would like to see... on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    According to this
    , GCC is faster than ICC for
    some purposes (like 64-bit arithematic).

  11. Re:Java Performing worse then C on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    It's not a surprise, but your reasons are
    mistaken. Note that Java 1.4.2 performed
    on par with Visual C++ for everything execept
    trigonometric functions. The reason why its
    not surprising is that the JVM on Linux
    stinks. Use IBM's JVM for linux, Sun's for
    Windows.

  12. Re:Trig functions... on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    Inlining, and "loose" results relative to IEEE-758.

  16. Re: Hmmmm... on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 1

    Activities favored by the wealthy are
    legal because the wealthy define the laws.
    I believe it was Anatoly France who observed
    that the law, in the blindness of its justice,
    forbids both rich and poor alike to sleep
    under bridges, or to steal bread.

  17. Re:IP Address Verifier == web bug on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 1

    I don't get how this is extortion or fraud.
    There are lots of people who charge businesses
    a consulting fee for identifying security
    flaws in their systems. It is a perfectly
    legitimate line of business.

    Is there another kind of physics? A kind
    that doesn't use all that pesky math?

  21. Re:She's been posting EVIDENCE, for heaven's sake! on Woman Ticketed For Nude Pics On Internet · · Score: 1

    It's more apposite to ask whether a place can
    be "public" if there is no representative
    of the "public" present.

    Simply being in open air does not make a
    place public.

  22. Not the new radio, but the new CD on Game Music Continuing To Gain Recognition · · Score: 1

    Videogames are not the new radio (a free
    distribution channel which provides exposure
    to bands to sell a distinct medium), but the
    new CD (primary delivery vehicle for content
    licenses).

  23. I've got one of his notebooks on Happy Birthday, Von Neumann (And Linus!) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not quite my proudest possession, but I've
    got one of his notebooks. It doesn't actually
    have any writing in it, however. A friend
    works at the Library of Congress manuscript
    division. When papers are donated, any
    non-archival materials are discarded, so she
    gave me one of his *blank* notebooks.

    [This is an amusing anecdote. Had this
    been an actual troll, you would have felt
    cold steel piercing your lip.]

    Dogs (including wolves), horses, and rabbits
    are notably resistant to TSE prion diseases.
    Nobody knows why, yet.
