  1. Re:"Ask Shatner"..... on William Shatner Answers, in 826 Words · · Score: 1

    He's an actor, that is kind of the entire point.

  2. He can on Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing? · · Score: 1

    I think the conclusion is that he could do it

  3. Re:Jeremy Irons on Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing? · · Score: 1

    This is the single gayest comment, and beautiful.

  4. Re:My thoughts on HP Rethinking Wisdom of Spinning Off PC Division · · Score: 1

    I recommend Brother printers to anyone that asks me for advice. I've never had a complaint, never had a breakdown.

    They are awesome. Ours is 10 years old and still as good as the day it was bought.

  5. Re:Space elevator on UK To Get £50m Graphene Research Hub · · Score: 1

    It's a 2D structure, so no.

  6. Re:Hmmmmm.... on 3 Share Nobel Prize In Medicine For Immune System Work · · Score: 1

    Dude, the protein folding gamers were a slightly better stochastic cog. Significant, not so much.

  7. Re:patent implications on Newly Digitized Film Shows Ed Catmull's 3D Graphics From 1972 · · Score: 1

    None what-so-ever. This stuff is all published - it's Catmull for god's sake!

  8. Re:my thoughts on this on Ask Slashdot: Math Curriculum To Understand General Relativity? · · Score: 1

    Best bloody reply I've seen on slashdot in years. That's coming from someone sitting in front of a general relativity textbook, as that's what I wanted to study this year.

  9. Re:Flash Embedded in Excel? on Was This the Phishing E-mail That Took Down RSA? · · Score: 1

    Dude, once a stream is being parsed, you are always screwed. There will always be a security hole.

    Doesn't matter if the 'executable' code is essentially in the document; or the document itself, running against a parser.

    They're really the same thing.

  10. Re:Computing power allows it now on Microsoft's Looming 'Single Windows Ecosystem' · · Score: 1

    You were literally the problem to the adoption of unix. You still are.

  11. Re:MMMMmmmm on Red Wine Counters Some Negative Health Effects of Microgravity · · Score: 1

    Please mod the parent post up, it's a work of art.

  12. Re:Geeks for Nukes on Engineers Find Nuclear Meltdown At Fukushima Plant · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by 'sad'? Engineering is partially about the machine and process, and partially about navigating the human factor too.

    Any engineer who can't do both is shit, and their designs not worth building.

  13. All 2.0 on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    If you've truly separated your stuff out that much, give us the option to get an entirely text only slashdot - layout, no graphics.

    Previous Low BW option guy here.

  14. Re:Publicity stunt? on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 1

    The internet says.. No.

  15. Re:Shoooting fish in a barrel on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 1

    They're not taking any way. They don't actively seek information, hence the title of their website. And all the american intel they've been publishing, consists of exactly one leak.

  16. Re:Publicity stunt? on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You'd have to be borderline retarded to think it was a publicity stunt. It's pissed off american teenagers, simple as that.

  17. Re:Question: If we had such a computer, or artific on It's Time To Build the Analytical Engine · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This may well be the most retarded slashdot comment I've read. Ever.

  18. Re:what about LATENCY? on Codec2 — an Open Source, Low-Bandwidth Voice Codec · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think he probably means it in a 'how many samples does the codec need before it can send a packet' type of latency.

  19. Re:Polywell on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    Being as it doesn't work, no it won't.

  20. It's dead Jim.. on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But not for the obvious reasons. Flash is going the same way as all of Adobe's other software, this is a trend I first noticed about the time of Photoshop 8 (ooh, history brush, I'll pay for that). Adobe has no good programmers left. I don't know if they fired them all just before that time, or they bailed, but ever since then all we've seen out of them is mediocre point upgrades. They're still living off the reputation they built in the mid 90s.

    Their shit just plain doesn't work, or is old codebases patched into oblivion, and they either don't want to, or can't hire people talented enough to fix and improve it.

  21. Re:Latency? on Rethinking Computer Design For an Optical World · · Score: 1

    Bus capacitance, and the ability of long traces to pick up huge amounts of EM radiation. Not good as your clock speeds increase.

  22. I was right. on Google Kills Wave Development · · Score: 0, Troll

    Fucking stupid, fucking useless and nobody will use it. Said just after I tried my first wave out.

    Why was I right?

    Because it was a terrible bit of software, in both concept (nobody wants collaboration at that level - if they did every content creation desktop app would do it), and in implementation.

    Just awful.

  23. Re:OK Boltzmann down on Boltzmann Equation Solved, the New Way · · Score: 1

    I'm entirely with this guy!

  24. Re:wow on Philip K. Dick's Exegesis To Be Published In 2011 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Err, it wasn't smarts, it was a whole lot of speed that sent him nuts.

  25. Re:If only Obama knew.... on What Happened To Obama's Open Source Adviser? · · Score: 0

    Retard.
