  1. Re:What do they consider a user? on Opera Picks Up Webkit Engine · · Score: 1

    I might actually use it again if I can use it with Adblock Plus.

  2. Re:blanket statement: evidence please on Researchers Opt To Limit Uses of Open-access Publications · · Score: 1

    Hang out with computer science or math people for a while. It'll blow your mind. A culture that produced RMS would have to ;)

  3. Re:blanket statement: evidence please on Researchers Opt To Limit Uses of Open-access Publications · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and what field are you in? Sharing culture varies radically depending on discipline.

  4. Re:Economy is not a science. on Australian Economists Predictions No Better Than Flipping a Coin · · Score: 1

    Most Austrian economists get really worked up about the evils of central banks for a reason.

  5. Re:Prosecute, Prosecute, Prosecute on Andrew Auernheimer Case Uncomfortably Similar To Aaron Swartz Case · · Score: 1

    MSNBC ;)

  6. Seems like on New Asteroid Mining Company Emerges · · Score: 1

    they're following a similar roadmap to Planetary Resources, but skipping the harvest-volatiles phase?

  7. Re:Koch Brothers? on BEST Study Finds Temperature Changes Explained by GHG Emissions and Volcanoes · · Score: 1

    Incidentally, the Koch's are typically considered libertarians, not conservatives (although more than a few libertarians consider their influence to have "tainted" the Cato Institute).

  8. Re:Thanks to the jokesters on We The People Petition Signature Requirement Bumped To 100,000 · · Score: 1

    Perpetual kittens, for every citizen. You'll probably crash their site.

  9. Re:WRT54GL? on Remote Linksys 0-Day Root Exploit Uncovered · · Score: 1

    WRT54G is not WRT54GL.

  10. Re:Can't get worse on Star Wars Live-Action Show Could Still Happen · · Score: 1

    As 20-something nerd, II was the only one that really grated on me, and even so I think it would be redeemable by cutting around 1 or 2 of budding-romance scenes. I've heard the Phantom Edit is quite good, and III was enjoyable even without any chopping.

  11. Re:Only this on Star Wars Live-Action Show Could Still Happen · · Score: 1

    Say what? Han Solo is Correllian.

  12. Re:Working with his father... on Teenager Makes Discovery About Galaxy Distribution · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That depends on the university and the lab. I've heard all sorts of horror stories.

  13. Re:Working with his father... on Teenager Makes Discovery About Galaxy Distribution · · Score: 1

    It's a continuum and it depends on the parties involved. I've collaborated on undergraduate research with my father (paper ended up being accepted to ISVD a couple years ago), and the work I did with him at 18/19 was definitely not beyond my abilities at 15, and was probably more creative and challenging than the work I did this summer on a DOE fellowship.

  14. Re:Homesteading on Property Rights In Space? · · Score: 1

    Sure, but the theory is based on natural rights philosophy (independent of government meddling) and is a prescriptive theory of how legal systems should operate, rather than descriptive theory of how they do operate.

  15. Re:Homesteading on Property Rights In Space? · · Score: 1

    You're confusing homestead grants with the Homesteading Theory of Property Rights.

  16. Re:End fiat currency! End THE FEDERAL RESERVE!!! on Is It Time For the US To Ditch the Dollar Bill? · · Score: 1

    Don't have to make it a gold standard. Just abolish legal tender laws and let the market sort it. Or wait for Google ("Planetary Resources") to dump one of those shiny new asteroids full of platinum and gold a few years down the line.

  17. Re:lol on Blizzard Has a Version of Diablo 3 Running On Consoles · · Score: 1

    Probably didn't take that much work either, since most of the hard stuff is being done server-side with D3.

  18. Re:UDP ... on Linux 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Presumably the reduced overhead of UDP was considered by the developers to be a worthwhile tradeoff against the convenience and stronger guarantees afforded by TCP.

  19. Re:waste on USB NeXT Keyboard With an Arduino Micro · · Score: 2

    Any Mac user worth the name should be proud to have NeXT hardware.

  20. And this is why I gave up watching football on Brain Disease Found In NFL Players · · Score: 1

    Get my real time strategic sports viewing kicks from watching professional Starcraft now, knowing that the worst injuries being inflicted on the players is maybe a case of CTS, and only if they aren't careful about posture.

  21. Re:This is a job for Extreme Makeover Home Edition on Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica · · Score: 1

    Look guys, I found another one. I'm pretty sure the 501st aren't even connected to Disney.

  22. Re:Great potential on Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One problem, and the great attraction of this way of doing things, is that most software companies don't have too many programmers worth $120k. Lots of $50k-$80k, but not so much on the higher end of the pay scale until you get into research divisions at big companies like Microsoft or Google or IBM.

  23. Fink is like Mac Ports but less well-maintained. I'm not really sure what the point of Homebrew is.

  24. This might kick the crap out of your browser: but sure.

    Wish I had modpoints. The -1 on this comment is a sign of some serious denialism on today's batch of mods.
