  2. Re:SCIENCE! on Russians Find "New Bacteria" In Lake Vostok · · Score: 1

    No, the unclassified and unidentified life form has been called "he added".
    So it should become something like 'additionem dixit'

    But there are many things running linux that are not "computers" and for which /dev/ttyS0 is very important

  7. Re:Uhhh... on New Largest Known Prime Number: 2^57,885,161-1 · · Score: 1

    Well, this is not an epic fail, but there is something epic about it anyway :)
    Looks to me like someone just said 'I think things tend to naturally go up' and you had to explain general relativity in full detail to prove him wrong when dropping a stone was enough :)
    PS: this is supposed to be humorous, not meant to offend you in any way

  8. Re:WHAT BETTER TO FEED YOUR FLAMING DEATH ?? on Peugeot Citroen To Introduce Compressed Air Hybrid By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Nonsense, that would be water, one of the most evil substances known to man
    You don't want to drink it, you don't want to power your car with it
    There must be some good reason they have to bless it after all

  9. Re:How bout a waterless slip-and-slide? on "Superomniphobic" Nanoscale Coating Repels Almost Any Liquid · · Score: 1

    Oh, no you are right ! I'm afraid this could be the end of wet t-shirt competitions (anaquamamaphiliaphobia)
    I have to add this to my fear of heights (vertigo), spiders (arachnophobia), fears (phobiphobia), agoraphobia, claustrophobia, ...
    In fact I was just missing this one last fear to have them all, I am now superomniphobic
    I guess this is how they made their "research", mental torture of the subjects, this is disgusting

    Yes we did try to catch him, then and failed
    Fortunately, it was easy tro trace him as he were escaping because
    There was a motherfucking python in his motherfucking plane :)

  12. Re:Fusion! A/C, Sterling on Manipulating Heat Like Light · · Score: 1

    A sterling engine is a mechanism that allow British scientists to claim that thanks to this new discovery fusion is now almost just a matter of plumbing and a few more engineering details, thereby getting more funding for their research as well as the New Super Mario Bros U.

  13. Re:Biomechanics on Crowd Funding For Crank Physics · · Score: 1

    No, it just trumps intuition

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

    But for every full blown universe popping into existence with a fantastically low entropy and evolving into a state favourable to pizza making, there are infinitely more stand alone / self contained pizzas popping into existence.
    It is therefore not only not necessary to create a universe in order to make a pizza, but it is certainly much easier to make a pizza than to make a universe first, as most pizzaiolos will attest.

  15. Re:Well... on Scary Toothbrush Prompts Shutdown of World's Busiest Airport · · Score: 5, Funny

    - Was it ticking?
    -- Actually, throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick.
    - Sorry, throwers?
    -- Baggage handlers. But when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police.
    - My suitcase was vibrating?
    -- Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor. But every once in a while it's a dildo. Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We have to use the indefinite article, "a dildo", never your dildo.
    - But,I do not own a dildo!
    - Alright, let's just call this a toothbrush, you can use it as you see fit after all why would I care ?

  16. Re:wow on Reexamination Request Filed Against Another Apple Patent · · Score: 1

    Maybe examiners realized that the patents system is too complex and by virtue of being able to make self references, there will always be Gödel attack vectors against it, therefore making the effort to validate any patent as worthwhile ultimately vain ?
    ...
    Nah... there must be a simpler explanation :)

  17. Re:Not real practical on MIT Research Shows New Magnetic State That Could Aid Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    They are talking about entangled states, so yes there is something 'instantaneous' (spooky action at a distance) but it indeed does not violate any law of QED.

  18. Re:Yeah, but ... on Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Cancer · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's the wrong "Yeah, but"
    The real "Yeah, but" is this one:
    Yeah, but my gf thinks it tastes bad when I drink too much coffee, therefore
    Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Sex
    I'm so sorry but the balance is just not there

  19. Re:Great... on High-Frequency Traders Use 50-Year-Old Wireless Tech · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure you can really make a man-in-the middle attack, the summary must be mistaken cause I don't think this technology is 50 years old.
    This is "line of site" microwave technology, I suppose it allows them to communicate insanely fast from "sight to cite", that is to say, allowing them to spread information at the speed of rumor, the fastest known way to communicate in the universe. Any man in the middle attack attempt would add a noticeable lag.

  20. Re:Misleading Summary on Researchers Find Crippling Flaws In Global GPS · · Score: 1

    "Researchers Find Crippling Flaws In Global GPS" is misleading ?
    Oh I see the flaw is not really in the global GPS system, thanks a lot for your post, I don't even have to read the fucking TFA thanks to you
    (I had mod points for you but you are already at +5 (twice) so...)

  21. Re:Massive summary and editorial fail on Belgian Researchers Build LCD Contact Lenses · · Score: 2

    You don't have to RTFA to find out
    The hilarious video makes it quite clear:
    The intent is to reproduce tex avery cartoon like effects over people's eyes showing money signs when they see something valueable or some potential client/victim
    This is huge, the next step it to force car dealers lawyers etc. to wear them, and ideally the dollars signs should be visible at the apropriate moment (when they are just about to screw you), but for a very good and cheap first approximation, it would work by letting them on all the time

  22. Re:The Program is Right There in the Article. on Teaching Robots New Tricks Without Programming · · Score: 1

    You meant teaching I guess
    The difference is quite clear if you see the extremes, that would be like asking what is the difference between white and black when we are observing shades of grey.
    So the difference, as a teacher vs programmer , is your level of expectation toward your student / compiler
    There is a joke that goes like "this damn compiler is doing exactly what I tell it to instead of what I want it to"
    For the student, you do expect it to get what you mean instead of what you say
    But of course, there is a grey area

    On the plus side, this sensational wording borderlining on inaccurate does make your post sound more interesting :)
