  1. Re:just boys? on Study Finds That Video Games Hinder Learning In Young Boys · · Score: -1

    Stereotypically, boys don't like video games as much as girls do.

  2. Observation on NY To Replace IT Vendors With State Workers · · Score: -1

    IT has two letters. /. has two shapes.

  3. test on University of Wyoming Studies Video Games · · Score: -1

    post

  4. Fact zero on Dot-Com Craze Peaked 10 Years Ago This Week · · Score: -1

    You still think you are a software developer.

  5. Block the foreign programmers. on US Immigration Bill May Bring a National Biometric ID Card · · Score: 0

    They are taking our jobs!

  6. This again! on 8-Core Intel Nehalem-EX To Launch This Month · · Score: 0

    I get enough hate of x86 in the supermarket tabloids--it's every other story!

  7. Singularity on Law Prevents British Websites From Being Archived · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There's no law after the singularity.

  8. I am from India. on Microsoft Spends $9 Billion On Research, Focuses On Cloud · · Score: 0

    Where is the place to go for cloud research job in India for Microsoft???

  9. Soju with oxygen? on Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover · · Score: 1

    I'm sold! I'll go check the local Uwajimaya (Asian superstore) for some of this. I don't even remember Soju being in liquor stores. Beer or sparkling wine have carbon dioxide, which it looks like doesn't count.

  10. Here is an example. on Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Slashdot has programmers who will feel superior. This one, Rik Sweeney, used this code directly to signal coding superiority. I had commented on this just awhile ago, and it came true!

  11. Slashdot has programmers on Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Probably many of them will feel superior for never having made a logic bug in something as clear-cut as leap years (it's not even the year 2000 leap year problem). Just because they feel superior doesn't mean that they aren't actually superior, though!

    I think we should all use TAI and stop messing around with both leap years and leap seconds.

  12. x86 and DirectX on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA Over the Next 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Let's look at x86. It's dominant because of mostly inertia. Millions of chips must be taken into account when deciding whether to try a new architecture. A personal supercomputer--a self modifying brain--will not have limitations on trying new things.

    Or look at directX--this is a cooperative library for ensuring games can work with Windows. Personal supercomputers will be able to establish higher level descriptions when interacting with other supercomputers (posthumans). Without burned-in chips or IP (intellectual property will seems silly in this era), it's about the stories you can tell.

  13. The Singularity? on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA Over the Next 10 Years · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    With greater personal power, we won't have Microsoft dictating what 3D features we can have. With individuals become supercomputers, these three companies will be out of business. However, personal survivability and power will be sufficient that former employees will be fine.

  14. Prince of Persia didn't sell? on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    I bought this (the latest 3D one) on DVD after I heard it had no DRM at all. The box actually said it did, but it appeared not to. I think it's the only example of a major game without any DRM (no cd check) on disk.

  15. Career goals for you: on What Is Time? One Researcher Shares His Exploration · · Score: 1

    May I suggest nursing home aide or politician?

  16. Uncompressed on Avoiding a Digital Dark Age · · Score: 2

    You'll have to go to .wav (not FLAC)--just straight bits. This does away with both copy-protection and compression.

  17. Real talk. on NHTSA Has No Software Engineers To Analyze Toyota · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hate to break it to you, but you got "laid off" because you were probably useless even if you worked for free. You got fired. Try nursing home aide.

    It's a lot easier to blame the economy than admit your own shortcomings, isn't it?

  18. Hm, thanks. on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    I was sort of in a bad mood and thought it was flamebait myself.

  19. Wow, it's like the infancy of civilization. on Open Source 3D Nvidia Driver Is Ready For Fedora 13 · · Score: 1, Funny

    I remember at Intel those silly locked up books detailing the trade secrets. We have constrained bits flying through constrained hardware to make a game. Anyone looking in from the outside will wonder what game we are all playing for this state of affairs!

    I don't think we'll get either religion or IP out of the way before the Singularity hits anyway.

  20. Oh, you must be young. on New Bounds On the Higgs Boson Mass · · Score: 1

    Such idealism. Problem is, the young don't vote as much. They are also outnumbered by older people anyway. I don't see the democracies that support the collider dropping funding anytime soon. You'll grow up.

  21. 1/4 way through... on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    I'll get to the rest :).

  22. Re:You probably think you are more intelligent. on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    You think you are more intelligent than religious people. You actually are more intelligent than religious people.

  23. Eat religious people. on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    Religious people are animals who don't even think they are animals. What better way to treat them than by eating them like you would any other animal? When they see clearly that they are nutritious, maybe they'll get the point.

  24. True, but... on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    The compromisers and people in the middle get more social karma. This can lead to more reproductive opportunities.

  25. You probably think you are more intelligent. on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    However, your probably ARE as well. Thanks for the post.
