  1. Re:Ain't one of those either on Why There's No Nobel Prize In Computing · · Score: 2

    "Literature"

  2. Re:Shades of the Foundation! on Phase Change Memory Points To Future of Storage · · Score: 1

    My first reaction, whenever I read about crystalline storage, is "oh boy, Stargate IRL"

  3. Re:Now all I need... on Linux 3.0 Will Have Full Xen Support · · Score: 1

    Last time I tried it, Star Craft ran better under Wine than under 64-bit Vista or 7, so even if you want to do something useful under Windows it probably shouldn't be that.

  4. Re:Just don't try to dial 9 chevrons on Project Icarus: the Gas Mines of Uranus · · Score: 2

    Only if it doesn't involve runny noses.

  5. Re:You don't understand what CS is on Ask Slashdot: Good Homeschool Curriculum For CS?? · · Score: 2

    Given that he has an M.S. in CS, I suspect that he does. Nonetheless, most of what you need to know about Word, Excel and Powerpoint can be found here: http://xkcd.com/627/

  6. Re:Not bad on Doom Ported To the Web · · Score: 1

    Can't be that well dressed. I'm getting 35.

  7. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    Please remind me at which point in my previous remarks I made any comment in support of the behavior of these activists. Thanks, ~Your friendly neighborhood scientist.

  8. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    Have fun fixing the IP laws first.

  9. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 5, Insightful
  10. Re:Glossy screens and sunlight on Users Want Matte LCDs While Glossy Screens Dominate · · Score: 1

    Not if they're bright enough. My glass-covered MBP is as a glossy as they come and I have no trouble using it in direct sunlight unless I'm trying to watch a TV show with terrible lighting (SG-U, BSG), which shouldn't be done anywhere with any sort of direct lighting regardless of the screen.

  11. Re:I will miss the bar on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    Starting you say?

  12. Re:wikipedia on Bill Clinton Suggests Internet Fact Agency · · Score: 1

    Don't we already have this? It's called Snopes. They do it for free.

  13. Re:The question nobody wants to ask.... on Perl 5.14 Released · · Score: 2

    This would conflict with "equality without type coercion" in Javascript and PHP.

  14. Re:We're doomed on ICANN Wants To Change Rules For GTLDs · · Score: 1

    What if we don't want to be protected! My state's economy is largely dependent on tree-hugging turrrists. Oh...wait a second.

  15. Re:Benchmarks! on Gitbrew Releases OtherOS++ PS3 Linux Dual Boot · · Score: 1

    PC: Valve and Blizzard, gogogo.

  16. Re:And here I thought... on Punish Bad Users With Drupal Misery · · Score: 1

    Seems like a situation where a small code base would be much more desirable than some flipping huge monstrosity that could be hiding nasty surprises anywhere.

  17. Re:And here I thought... on Punish Bad Users With Drupal Misery · · Score: 1

    I'm on the board of directors of one, and working for half price for the other. *eyeroll*

  18. Re:And here I thought... on Punish Bad Users With Drupal Misery · · Score: 2

    You're not alone. I'm the webmaster for several 501(c)3's, including one that I helped found, and everyone clamors for Drupal. I looked at the documentation on 4 or 5 occasions and said "No thanks, I'll roll my own much more quickly"

  19. Re:Not so bad to have different systems. on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_Units Am I missing something? I'm presuming that any civilizations advanced enough to be making interstellar contact will know how to figure these out.

  20. Re:Police often violate 4th amendment rights.. on Michigan Police Could Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a FANTASTIC plan.

  21. Re:Don't like it on Officials Say "Capes For the Unemployed" Plan Not Super · · Score: 1

    Mod this man +15

  22. Re:Only aluminum? on An RC Car That Runs On Soda Can Rings · · Score: 1

    Right, sorry, sometimes I forget that suburbia is only a subset of the many kinds of police state.

  23. Re:Only aluminum? on An RC Car That Runs On Soda Can Rings · · Score: 2

    It must suck to live in suburbia. I could probably set off a few sticks of dynamite and no one would be the wiser. If anyone actually heard they would assume they noise came from one of the handful of gravel quarries within jogging distance of my house.

  24. Re:Nothing new to see here on The Decreasing Impact of Death In Sci-fi · · Score: 1

    No, he died a couple times "fo rizzle" but got sarcophagused.

  25. Re:Nothing new to see here on The Decreasing Impact of Death In Sci-fi · · Score: 2

    Daniel Jackson much?
