    Whatever you do, stocking up on non-perishable food as the feds advise should not include buying "meals ready to eat" since that, too, is potentially suspicious and means you might be a terrorist.

    You shop at Costco!

  10. Re:N = 13? on Exposure to Backlit Displays Reduces Melatonin Production · · Score: 2

    OK so they did a couple t-test and apparently, based on my limited understanding of how they calculated degrees of freedom, one or two people were dropped from the sample for each test, most likely because they were outliers (I would RTFA but the site appears to be slashdotted). And this is supposed to prove what?

    What the hell do you expect Samsumg to do? Make a damn oval phone? A TRIANGLE?

    A triPhone? That sounds close enough, so they'd still get sued.

    Too late, there's a kickstarter project for that.

  13. How many stories? on Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The June 2010 issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry published a study of 18,300 Army soldiers screened at 3 and 12 month intervals following deployment in Iraq. The study found that using “the least stringent definition” for PTSD, rates now range between 20 and 30 percent, and depression rates are at 11.5 and 16 percent.[2] Together this accounts for almost a third of our troops now suffering serious functional mental impairment. source

  14. Re:Ex-military, current paranoid schizophrenic on Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 5, Funny

    The guy seriously believes that George W. Bush is living in a secret castle in Colorado where he rapes and sacrifices children. He also believes that Bush not only planned 9-11, but serves a world shadow government who also seem to spend most of their time raping and sacrificing children (when they're not planning world domination, I guess).

    So he's probably a frequent AC on /.?

  15. concluded? on Music Memories Stored In Different Part of Brain Than Other Memories · · Score: 1

    researchers in Berlin think that they have concluded that theory.

    What exactly does it mean to conclude a theory, and how does this happen when your sample size is 1?

  16. Re:Boy, does this have the potential for bad on Intel Team Takes On Car Hackers · · Score: 2

    Not to mention the ability to charge for different levels of performance using the same underlying hardware, kind of like ATI & Nvidia do, and Intel was planning to do with their value-priced CPUs.

    They already do this to an extent, it's called chip tuning, and it usually costs a couple hundred bucks for a high-performance shop to do it. Or you can buy a plug-in chip or your own programming device, but these are pricey too.

    How I miss the days of timing lights, carburetors, and cars that actually let you tinker with them on the weekend...

    I work at a ~100 person privately-owned consulting firm, I work 24/7 for the benefit of the partners. My salary is but a drop in the bucket compared to what they make.

    Note: I don't believe he was astroturfing, he has 677+ articles to his account, most of which have nothing to do with MS. My comment is just being a general over-the-top ass, nothing to do with what I believe. But isn't that most of the posts on /.? I digress...

    That means he pays slashdot. So he can see such articles 10 minutes or so before they post. He had plenty of time to write that up.
