  1. Re:Where's the applications? on Fermilab Experiment Hints At Multiple Higgs Particles · · Score: 1

    Disregarding the whole boring soccer thing, you seem to imply that if time travel becomes possible, then it already "happened-will happen"
    This is wrong because even in a time travel enabling universe there would still be the concept of "first time" and also because time travel might have many different dynamics that void this argument.
    (that being said I am not really deffending the idea of time travel being possible at all, I'm just telling you that you are not disproving it with those arguments)

    I think she's related to ZZ Top

  3. Re:Whaazzaaaa? on How To Destroy a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    In fact, our own universe could very well be a black hole !
    So we might have a super uper duper extra gallactic "everybody jumps at the same time" technique at disposal to actually get an understanding of the uiniverse inside an 'over/über/multi'-verse thing :)

    that would be 'to quoque filli'

  9. Re:Finally.. on Researchers Create Graphite Memory 10 Atoms Thick · · Score: 1

    half twelve times is less than 7 times.
    this is not very convincing

  10. Re:I don't get it on Vista To XP Upgrade Triples In Price, Now $150 · · Score: 1

    I disagree
    What do you mean by 'semantics '?
    I am sure you can have a rational argument over it

    Or at least a real one
    :)

  11. Re:Implications on A Quantum Linear Equation Solver · · Score: 1

    What an excellent reply !
    I don't think this is nitpicking at all, on the contrary, this is absolutely essential
    It is one thing to wonder is P=NP, another thing to not be bothered by whether it is true or not by 'magical' quantum tricks that will basicaly void the interest of the P=NP question for practical ends, and it is yet an entirely different thing to use this to conclude the original question.
    Your reply is very insightful, I got confused by the previous answer because I fell for the same trap in confusing the interest of the question with the question itself. thank you very much for putting me back in the right track, really !

  12. Re:Yurp on French "Three Strikes" Law Gets New Life · · Score: 1

    No you miss the point
    Most of us european don't speak french, but it's because we don't care or are too lazy to learn it or some combination of those reasons
    This guy has been denied the joy/privilege of learning french because of google !!!
    (he said 'blame google' not 'thank google' so I guess he takes it as something bad where, again, most of us european would be most thankful for it).
    This is yet again google doing evil !!! (although it probably started with the best of intentions).
    sad times, sad times
    Also it would translate better as "Un changement en lequel nous pouvons croire"

    (undoing moderation)
    sorry was supposed to be insightful, I am mouse impaired :)
    I tried to mod interesting a simpsons quote before 'just for fun' and it got insightful but I didn't care.
    yours was getting 'insightful' but I just have to undo the redundant mod.

  14. Re:Optical Character Recognition is the Correct Te on Optical Character Recognition Still Struggling With Handwriting · · Score: 1

    your code will put anything not java into perl
    Yeah I know you sort of meant it
    But even if you succesfuly recognized C code, you are going to make it perl code.
    Oh well...

  15. Re:You meant the wrong way on Founder of the Secret Society of Mathematicians · · Score: 1

    Wow, either you troll, or your version of a good mathematics textbook is some Dora's "let's do Maths" version of it.
    Either way, this should not be modded insightful but troll or maybe flamebait.

  18. Re:Perpetuating old myths on Bizarre Properties of Glass Allow Creation of "Metallic Glass" · · Score: 1

    This is not nit-picking IMO and furthers the doubts on the article's validity
    Or maybe they are just geosoccermetricaly challenged and got a bit confused about a truncated icosahedron having some (twelve) pentagons :)

  19. Re:Thats what they get on Mass Effect DRM Still Causing Issues · · Score: 1

    All Americans suck at some point because, well err they're mammals ? (sorry :))
    I agree with what you are saying but I think YHBT (HAND)
    beyond the fact that it was indeed a different point being made, the issue does exist, but really, if we are so not trusting the game provider and thinking about this requirement as a way to spy and what not, then
    1) why consider the game at all to begin with ?
    2) why trust it could not spy and/or do any other kind of evil things anyway without this obvious 'phone home requirement' ?

  20. Re:Microsoft's Official View of the Situation on Half a Million Microsoft-Powered Sites Hit With SQL Injection · · Score: 1

    No
    It could just be disabled by default as it is most likely not what most calls intend to use
    And of course have an option, or a separate call to allow it as such

  21. Math is hard on Valve Responds to Steam Territory Deactivations · · Score: 1

    Ok, this is very hard math now so I hope you can follow.
    Assume you, as a (not in thailand nor russia)er make enough a year to spend each year the monney on
    - a DX8 capable PC
    - 20 50$ games
    You will probably spend this monney differently anyway, but this is what you can do
    Well, for this market, it will be like this:
    - a DX8 capable PC every three or four years
    - about 3 50$ games a year
    There... is the argument adding up already ?

  23. Re:Sigh on Magnetic Wobbles Cause Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 1

    Just how many people did read that as pure windows bashing the way you imply it was ?
    I read it as (because obviously this isn't a windows issue) as:
    next time windows fails (c'mon, you know it will, *wink* *wink*) consider it might actualy not be windows fault but a genuine and documented magnetic 'wobble'. I took at as something funny which isn't really windows bashing.
    Apparently you read it the other way around: next time your hard drive fails, if you run windows it will also fail (because it is windows) and you will know the true cause behind general protection fault.
    If the summary bothered you because you would think linux or any other OS fails just as much as windows (for whichever reason) then you would have a point.
    But you seem to complain because for this particular fault just any OS would be in trouble. this is ridiculously obvious and not even worth taking into account, what troubles me is that so far everyone seems to take the same path (???)
    Oh well :)
    Cheers...

  25. Re:Woot on Orbital Express Launches Tonight · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, I just didn't get your parent's comment. really didn't. I don't speak english very well and I tend to get (or misunderstand) vocabulary thanks to the context. I had no idea what run-on meant and I couldn't get it from the context (I was looking for something obviously wrong in it but.... I didn't find anything weird about it)
    Then I sort of got it from its first answer, but I wasn't yet too sure... I was still looking at some possible other kinds of mistakes, logic errors mostly.
    Thank you for clarifying that up, I have been told already to fall in your classmate's category but I always took it as unimportant/funny/not really meant comments (but I did, did something about it I review my mails to those guys and 'clarify (?)' them several times breaking up sentences and 'making up paragraphs' before hitting the send button (I'm doing the same thing now posting here)). For some reason your answer to your parent and your sibling's make me feel it's more of an issue than I had previously cared to think:I really don't see anything wrong in this sentence you make fun of !!!
    Oh well...
