  1. Re:Perl still used? on mod_perl 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Depends on how you ask. I know russians who would
    never dare utter the equivalents in russian but they
    have no qualms about using english.

  2. Re:Be careful what you wish for on Using Wikis to Catch Outdated and Bad Laws? · · Score: 1

    Your statement does not make any real sense.
    Unless your point as there are bigger to fish
    to fry, in which cash you can have phrased it more cogently. In any event "The journey of a thousand miles..."

  3. Re:Isaac Asimov on Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 · · Score: 1

    Considering many states are larger than England itself that's not a very apt analogy. See also
    the Tenth Ammendment.

  4. POET on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only thing I could fond on their site POET. Apparently stands for Power Over Ethernet Touchscreen.

  6. Re:This is ridiculous on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 1

    You do have a right to it, and you can get ahold of it, after a "suitable delay" of a few decades.

  8. Re:Those French on Ubi To Open New Quebec Studio · · Score: 1

    en francais, and France already does it, with only "a few million" people as well. But what's that,
    they could share content?

  9. Re:That's particularly sad on The Shuttle Mission No One Wants · · Score: 1

    Not the program (per se), but the politics.

  10. Re:semi related question on Would You Pass the Information Literacy Test? · · Score: 1

    You could take the ACT, but not all school's accept it.

  11. Re:news for americans stuff that 191 countries don on Caltech Pranks MIT's Prefrosh Weekend · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Approximately 1/4 of Engineers are foreigners, so it may just be that some of the people who run your country or it's large companies went to MIT.

  12. Re:MIT pranks on Caltech Pranks MIT's Prefrosh Weekend · · Score: 1

    Very little of these "advantages" exist as all of the information is online, and you can bring your own materials.

  13. Lame copycatting on Caltech Pranks MIT's Prefrosh Weekend · · Score: 1

    The T-shirt concept has been used in the MIT-Harvard rivalry for *years*. Can't fin a picture but here's a reference.

  14. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    No, it's not. It really really is not.
    It wasn't before with the true greenbacks,
    and certainly isn't with the cartoon heads
    or the fvcking monopoly money. The only
    individuals who coul reasonably claim to have
    difficulty are the blind, but for all I know
    there's Braille markers somehere on the bill.

  15. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    NO it sucks a$$. First, counterfeit coins or slugs are passed off to the consumer easier
    (I got stuck witha 500 Lira coin because it's nearly identical to a 2 euro piece) and secondly
    when vending mahines mis(or fail to)register your payment you loose a lot more. With bills it simply spits it back out.

  16. Re:Photo Age on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    These photos are usually the product of "private " ventures. In Massachusetts the state does it about once every ten years. Occasionally a city like Cambridge might do it every 4 or 5 (usually only in conjunction with and prodding from a local heavy-weight that needs the data, like MIT)

  17. Re:I am serious here ... on Longest Chemical Name: 64,060 letters · · Score: 1

    I actually I take that back, while it tells you what it is, it's only a semi-systematic name. A Truly systematic name would; not use the names of amino acids, contain lots of numbers, be much longer and more difficult to understand.

  18. Re:I am serious here ... on Longest Chemical Name: 64,060 letters · · Score: 1

    Because that's a systematic name, it tells you what it actually is.

  19. Re:Logical problem with their "evolution" on Evolving Lego Mindstorms · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You need to revisit some coursework because selection doesn't care if it's "bad" or "good", just that it works. And if it works once it might work again, but it may lso be too haphazard and peter out in the long run.

    She's almost a fvcking adult for cryin' out loud.
    17 ain't a kid. Besides, her parents could have
    informed her, kept a land-line plugged in (even
    disconnected phones can dial 911) etc. etc. etc.
    Put the blame where the blame is due please.

    Not a french /. but an american in FR and they do in fact try .com (besides it being the default built into various browsers). They also generlly don't happen to know that other US TLDs exist.
