  1. Re:You guys complain about a cap of 250GB? on Sony Put Video Service on Hold Due to Comcast Data Caps · · Score: 1

    You dream of 1.544Mb/s?

  2. Switching on Gecko-Inspired Tape Can Be Reused Thousands of Times · · Score: 5, Funny

    I could probably save 15% on my dry adhesive bill by switching to this new tape.

  3. Re:Suits, obviously on The Ongoing Case of Rakofsky vs. Internet · · Score: 2

    It is intellectually dishonest to see an unambiguous, clear-cut chain of events and announce the cause to be somewhere in the middle of the chain, don't you think?

    This is hardly a clear-cut chain of events. For example there is no casual link between "You get fired" and "You show up to work anyways". The actual chain of events is more like "You trespass" > "You get in trouble for trespassing." To pretend that calling your boss a name is absolutely intellectually dishonest.

  4. Re:Democracy needs smart people on Too Many College Graduates? · · Score: 1

    I guess I missed the part where my ERA prof's lecture on uniform continuity was an allegory designed to force me into secularism. Thank's for letting me in on the Conservative Agenda.

  5. Yes, it does run on Linux.. on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    Dragon's age does run in linux. I am playing it on wine 1.1.32 in Ubuntu 9.10. When it hangs at the end of installation you have to quit out and download the nvidia physx driver's from their site and install them first. I have played all the way through the mage tower segment. It doesn't run perfectly though, cinematics show blank screen (even though audio works) and all visual effects had to be turned to the lowest setting so it didn't wonk out. Otherwise it runs great on linux. (Note, in-game cutscenes work fine, cinematic ones don't.)

  6. Banks on A.I. Developer Challenges Pro-Human Bias · · Score: 2, Funny

    The banking system is another example of a system much better than human intelligence for survival and resilience. Oh wait...

  7. Re:I think its infected my car. on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    That study shows "Newshour with Jim Lehrer" to be the fairest news show on TV, not anything on Fox...

  8. Less ridiculous than it sounds? on IPv6 Over Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Even though this seems like another April fools joke, isn't one of the purposes of making IPv6 have *so many* possible address to make things like this possible?

  9. hi, how r u 2day? on Is Your IM Buddy Really a Computer? · · Score: 2

    I have a feeling that the first chatbot to pass the Turing test will mostly talk in shorthand, I already have trouble telling some forum posts from a poorly programmed robot.
