  1. I like the new python API, but on Blender 2.57 Released — and It's Easy To Use! · · Score: 1

    where can I find a real documentation?

  2. Re:Cool idea, actually... on Free DARPA Software Lets Gamers Hunt Submarines · · Score: 1

    why not? You don't like to lose all appetite towards the end of the game and then remorse the killing of trillions AND a planet, do you?

  3. Re:Breaking Story: on The Simpsons Reviewed For Unsuitable Nuclear Jokes · · Score: 2

    why don't you go on and write six more of that?

  4. papers like those for Traditional Chinese Medicine on China To Overtake US In Science In Two Years · · Score: 1

    believe me, you can make a statistician kill him/herself just by forcing him/her to read them.

  5. Re:mixed feelings and abstract hate. on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 1

    wait, I can see how being black is not choice, but being Christian is not the result of (poor) choice? It's a bigotry in it self to say that being overweight is a disease and there is cure ( when most of fat cases are genetically determined and there is no cure as of yet ), and say that being gay is not a disease and there is no cure ( when prenatal environment and early experience definitely have a role in determining sexuality ).

  6. Re:secure? on University Switches To DC Workstations · · Score: 1

    I thought the security argument is about the grid, no? And the efficiency argument is also about the grid. It really doesn't make a big difference when you switch to DC only locally.

  7. Re:Why can't they power the turbines? on Third Blast At Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    surely you have a point here. But remember these reactors were designed like 40 years ago, and all the conversion you suggested requires extra structure that needs to be designed into the reactor.

  8. Re:Time heals all trends on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 1

    The first use cases, I believe, can be better solved with kinect than voice recognition.

  9. Protestor sympathetizers in the govn't on Libya Blocks Internet Access As Citizens Protest · · Score: 3, Funny

    1. advise the leader to cut off Internet 2. youngling without porn goes to street 3. ??? 4. Profit!

  10. Obligatory: on Scientists Invent World's First Anti-Laser · · Score: 1

    Scientist: Fuck you! Reporter: Scientist rapes journalist. (from SMBC)

  11. Re:Removing a feature? That I PAID for? on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    bad analogy destroys sarcasm. But since you get 5 funny, I have to admit that sometimes bad sarcasm can still be funny sarcasm.

  12. Re:Removing a feature? That I PAID for? on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    Trolling? Window update is NOT mandatory. You can choose not to install a specific fix and then it will not prompt you for it in the future. It's not like PS3, where you have to update to play online.

  13. Re:Insect Brains on How Machine Learning Will Change Augmented Reality · · Score: 1

    you must have never heard of Janelia Farm, the home base of HHMI foundation, where they have a huge project of reconstructing fly brain http://spectrum.ieee.org/biomedical/ethics/reverse-engineering-the-brain

  14. Re:Still the future? on How Machine Learning Will Change Augmented Reality · · Score: 2

    I wouldn't call Watson pathetic. Also, how far have we already pushed the boundary of 'intelligence'? I mean, playing chess or basically anything easier than go is no longer considered intelligence, limited parsing of sentences is no longer considered intelligence. How long before we find out that nothing is left to be called 'intelligence'?

  15. I would really like to see another space race on Iran's New Space Program · · Score: 0

    so we can soon see a real Orion spaceship up in the orbit, if only just to spite of all the hipsters. but seriously, how is an Orion continental destroyer more dangerous than the thousands of missile silos on the ground? while the development of the former will finally grant us large scale human existence outside earth and the technologies to fly to and colonize moon and even Mars.

  16. Re:Trouble in the national casino! on Hackers Penetrate Nasdaq Computer Networks · · Score: 1

    And you are aware that finding the price of stock does cost money and a high temporal resolution and precision of the price is useful and may worth the additional cost?

  17. Re:Trouble in the national casino! on Hackers Penetrate Nasdaq Computer Networks · · Score: 1

    yeah, because ARM is selling nothing and Google is giving away its product for free, and for some reason not so obvious to your level of IQ they are bringing home boatloads of money. They are apparently using magic to make money, which should be banned.

  18. Re:Openleaks is not what we need... on Openleaks Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks had it right? About what? Actively promoting its father's political view?

  19. Re:Unix is a pain in the ass on Inventors of Unix Win Japan Prize · · Score: 1

    4. It has the worlds's worst - and I do mean worst - text editor - VI. VI requires 3 or 4 keystrokes that better editors can do in 1 or 2. Yes I know you can use others. .

    As far as I know, 1 or 2 keystrokes with broken finger joints are way slower than 3 or 4 normal keystrokes.

  20. Re:"Unsinkable Carrier" on Does the Moon Have Military Value? · · Score: 1

    And who's fleet was sunken at last? And Yamamato's carriers have much more aircrafts than midway, guess you need Orion ultimate version to bombard a moonbase in that way.

  21. Re:Jimmy Wins on The Biggest Hoaxes In Wikipedia's First Decade · · Score: 3, Informative

    The problem here is that Rosalind, at that time, was a technician. Though her x-ray techique was extraordinary, it's not a scandal but just a common problem with scientific credit attribution.

  22. The only use of this thing on Wireless GeForce Graphics Card Announced · · Score: 1

    Is for LCD glasses or similar stuff, so you can walk around the room with your desktop level power and more convenience than netbook/ipad.

  23. Re:Humans in the loop. on NJ Server Farms Remake the US Financial Markets · · Score: 1

    Then you'll have less liquidity, which is the exact cause of the (first) Great Depression.

  24. Re:Why give them the publicity on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    You mean against Clinton, right? Isn't this the (supposed) reason Obama won presidency in 2010?

  25. Re:Who pays for this? on The French Government Can Now Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    It's already being done... in China. So never underestimate the power, and stupidity of the government.
