  1. Using Trekkie Naming Convention... on Richest Planetary System Discovered With 7 Planets · · Score: 0

    I wonder which planet of the seven is most like our own m-class planet type? Will it be: HD 10180 I, HD 10180 II, HD 10180 III, HD 10180 IV, HD 10180 V, HD 10180 VI or HD 10180 VII?

    * runs off to see Star Trek *

  2. Re:Master of Orion 2 on Richest Planetary System Discovered With 7 Planets · · Score: 1, Interesting

    One of my favorite games of all time. Boy did I ever play the crap out of that game. Even tried playing multi-player with a friend of mine over modem, lets just say it was not that great, his turns would take forever and I would just sit there waiting for him to click done or whatever the button was called.

  3. Robin on Blagojevich Appears At Chicago Comic Con · · Score: 0

    He might have met Batman, but in jail, he will definitely be someone's Robin...

  4. 2 Faces... on Real-Time, Detailed Face Tracking On a Nokia N900 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hmmm, which face should I record my original video with, my top one or my really white one located lower down... :)

  5. Re:Finally time to get a Mac? on Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update · · Score: 0

    Yea sorry, that was it. Must have been over 20 years ago?

  6. Finally time to get a Mac? on Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update · · Score: 0

    Last game I played on a Mac was a long time ago lol, the original Castlevania.

  7. Oh noes! on 40 Windows Apps Said To Contain Critical Bug · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I better pull my internet plug until all 40 apps are fixed. 'Cause you know, I use windows and my machine gets infected everyday!

  8. It's asian... on First 3-D IMAX Porn Movie Made In Hong Kong · · Score: -1, Troll

    No wonder this was first created in Asia, asian males need all the help they can get if you know what I mean. Adding a third dimension might still not "endow" enough lol.

  9. Crap... on 75% Use Same Password For Social Media & Email · · Score: 1

    Time to go add a '1' at the end of my email password, be right back...

  10. F#? on Microsoft May Back Off of .NET Languages · · Score: 1

    Maybe Microsoft wants to further concentrate on the .NET dynamic language equivalent?

  11. As Teal'c would say on Girl Quits On Dry Erase Board a Hoax · · Score: 4, Funny

    Indeed.

  12. Heretic, Hexen, etc... on Gamer Plays Doom For the First Time · · Score: 1

    Oh man did I play the crap out of those games, and boy were they ever fun. Man did I love Hexen.

  13. In a galaxy far, far away on Intel's Superchilled Test Rig · · Score: 4, Funny

    Judging from that photo, we are still in the infancy of computing. The Millenium Falcon looks like that everywhere!

  14. Going to far? on Vonage Makes Free Facebook Phone Call App · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Is it me or is the Facebook universe getting out of control?

  15. Re:C-sharp on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 0

    Maybe you would like to list those retardations so we can discuss them? I am curious since I bring home the bread with C# (3.5, 4.0 coming soon in our shop). Thanks!

  16. Now that is advancement! on LCD 'Engine' For Spacecraft Attitude Control · · Score: 0

    Good for Japan. Too bad other countries are not collaborating and taking advantage of this advancement, or are they?

  17. Careful now... on Retrieving a Stolen Laptop By IP Address Alone? · · Score: 0

    ...the thief might be a regular reader of slashdot lol.

  18. Re:Hmmm... on Symbian, the Biggest Mobile OS No One Talks About · · Score: 0

    Exactly, it isn't sexy and down the road will dwindle. Just curious, how many smart phones run Symbian?

  19. Hmmm... on Symbian, the Biggest Mobile OS No One Talks About · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Who is going to want to develop applications for tiny arse screens for example? That market is a goner.

  20. Re:Maybe, just maybe... on Climategate's Final Days · · Score: 1

    I hope it is the start of a new meme. Maybe I can "#4 Profit!" from it.

  21. Maybe, just maybe... on Climategate's Final Days · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe they were holding it wrong?

  22. Re:If the public can't understand... on Do Scientists Understand the Public? · · Score: 1

    One thing is to accept GW, and another is the means to fight it. Yes I agree it could be costly but that is not the issue here.

  23. I don't agree! on Zoho Don't Need No Stinking Ph.D. Programmers · · Score: 1

    I really don't agree with his statement as a whole. Yes cases vary and some individuals certainly do well just with a high school degree but getting educated will certainly help you down the road.

    Going to college teaches you how to learn and how to adapt, giving you the tools needed to actually learn material and evolve it, not just apply it. The actual material that you learn is just a bonus. I see code monkeys all the time, folks with no formal education that will never advance. Yes they can code (notice I didn't specify how well they can code), but they can't engineer solutions that will last and be beneficial in the future.

    Code monkeys sure are cheaper than software engineers, but the mess and problems they create cost way more than the salary of said engineer.

  24. If the public can't understand... on Do Scientists Understand the Public? · · Score: 1

    If the public can't understand then we should point the finger to our schooling system and revisit our educational priorities and engagements.

    Seriously, if one can't understand the gist of a scientific dilemma or endeavor, then that person will tend to err against said issue. This is plenty evident in the US with global warming for example. Ask yourself why the public tends to side against GW? They can't comprehend the facts and evidence provided to them so they throw it out the window. A problem that has plagued humanity for like ever, the fear of the unknown and incomprehensible.

  25. Bah... on New Tool Reveals Internet Passwords · · Score: 1
