  1. Re:Surprising on Are Console Developers Neglecting Their Standard-Def Players? · · Score: 1

    What is it, a checkbox? "I promise I tried it on an SD TV. Really." See above post re: Dead Rising for a prime example of SD incompetence.

  2. Re:So on Kingston Unveils $1000 USB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    I'd just use the bayonet on my Yugo SKS.

  3. Re:Top Gear Veyron goodness on Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet? · · Score: 1

    Really, only 70 hp? My SV650 produces 72.

  4. Re:Some times you need to be your own advocate on Teen Diagnoses Her Own Disease In Science Class · · Score: 1

    In what ways other than dosage does the canine version differ? I hear it's not unfathomable that one working for or very friendly with a vet might receive a prescription for their "170 pound" dog.

  5. Re:Health Care on Teen Diagnoses Her Own Disease In Science Class · · Score: 1

    You always have to anyway. When I bring my car or bike to the mechanic I don't say, "Something changed in the brakes," I say "Can you please install this new master cylinder for me?"

  6. The enemy's gate is down on 11-Year-Old Graduates With Degree In Astrophysics · · Score: 1

    But how well does he command the other kids in Battle School?

    BTW, that makes me wish I hadn't settled for the AA in Thermonuclear Warfare program.

    Your mom lovesthepython.org.

  8. Users don't understand subdomains on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: 1

    I disagree. People will get the order wrong even if they've visited the site before. They'll type "blah.greatsite.com," not even think about autocomplete not kicking in, and then get redirected to the squatter before they try the other way around. Think about how often you've seen people try "google.translate.com" instead of "translate.google.com."

  9. DVORAK on Keeping a PC Personal At School? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They'll never ask again.

  10. Re:Title on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 1

    Win. But at least L4D2 sounds like a Star Wars character.

  11. What is it we always say? on University Gives Away iPhones To Curb Truancy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Technical solution to a social problem? How about just count the number of names on the sheet, or learn to recognize your students? I don't know, crazy ideas...

  12. Mod for existing vehicles on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Place a brick underneath the gas pedal.

  13. Footrest on Finding a Personal Coding Trifecta · · Score: 1

    For whatever reason, sitting in a chair normally causes my legs to ache. I must have RLS or something. Unfortunately my current desk arrangement doesn't allow for me to elevate my legs other than to put them on my desk... which I do almost all of the time.

    So, I guess:
    Footrest, chair with back support, laptop with mouse.

    Standing up is also comfortable for a while at times.

  14. Re:Mosaic on The More Popular the Browser, the Slower It Is · · Score: 1

    Psht, I call up a dial-up ISP and whistle into the phone handset really fast.

  15. Wall squats on IBM "Invents" 40-Minute Meetings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Guaranteed your meetings will run no longer than 10 minutes max.

    Excellent. I look forward to my motherboard being less than 2 inches in every dimension.

  17. Bzzzzt on Designing DNA Circuits To Brew Tastier Beer · · Score: 1

    Beer is already at MAX_DELICIOUS, any additional incrementation will cause overflow.

  18. Slap bracelet phone? on Kyocera's OLED Phone Concept Charges As You Flex It · · Score: 1

    The alternate universe 80s version of me would totally buy that. But then a competitor will start rumors about it slapping closed and lopping off someone's ear.

  19. Well... on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    We work from home, so about the most hazard we experience would be a cat jumping on the keyboard.

    OTOH, in the realm of just annoying, is that a device emulator we use frequently takes about 90 seconds to load and can't just be left running -- you have to restart it for each recompile. It's like the testing cycle is make as many changes as possible, compile, go get a beverage or take a pee, come back, it should be just about ready to run.

  20. Re:steal it? on "Tweenbots" Test NYC Pedestrian-Robot Relations · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm obviously too easily manipulated by adorable tiny things. Oh, the cats are saying it's dinner time...

    My first reaction was actually that it was so adorable that I'd run it all the way to its destination.

  22. Re:Cool, it practically pays for itself on Tesla Roadster Runs For 241 Miles In E-Rally · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't have that problem with my bike so I have an advantage when accelerating from zero.

    Actually, that's only because they didn't know you were racing. Yeah, you're That Guy. Congrats.

  24. Here's a better idea on New CASMOBOT Lawnmower Controlled By a Wiimote · · Score: 1

    Since it has GPS receivers, one should be able to click and drag the area to be mowed on a zoomed in Google Maps terrain view (just hope there's no cars or babies parked on your lawn now).

  25. Psht. on Twitter On Scala · · Score: 5, Funny

    I program in PDP-11 assembly, which is then translated into C, compiled into Java bytecode, and executed on a JVM. I call it Assemblacava, and it's the wave of the future.
