  1. Re:Unfortunately for RIM... on RIM Doesn't Want 200 Fart Apps · · Score: 1

    What about the benefit of free-market on apps. Lots of different fart apps means you get farts at the lowest possible price (probably Free)

  2. Re:No. on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 1

    I hope you arent serious....if you are I think I'm going to create 1 Billion small corporations......yay I can now outvote the rest of the USA........well at least until everyone also does this and it becomes are ridiculous shit show

  3. Re:Citizens United on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What also undermines the country is that people are so easily manipulated that more $$$ = more votes

  4. Chess on 1K JavaScript Madness · · Score: 3, Interesting

    impressed that they fit in a reasonable A.I. into the thing!

  5. This is where....... on This Is a News Website Article About a Scientific Paper · · Score: 1

    This is where I make a comment that has nothing to do with the article but is explaining how the current administration "sucks and is gay" and how stupid everyone of the opposing political party is for having been fooled into voting for them. Here I add a crackpot theory about how 9-11 was caused by global warming (or vice versa)

  7. Re:Some people do watch at lot but... on Some Netflix Users Have Rated 50,000 Shows · · Score: 1
    Each SEASON (could be multiple discs) gets one rating......its always sad when I hate an episode of a show I like and I cant let Netflix know :(....

    If you give an episode a different rating than another in the same season they all update to the new value (unless there is a trick I missed in which case let me in on the secret)

  8. Re:Oh yeah? on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 3, Funny

    Those who can do.....those who cant write articles that distort the facts of what those-who-can did

  11. Re:Nice car on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 1

    Whats the chance it passes safety tests.....even if it were safe to have only this car on the road, it will get demolished when crashing into a "normal" car......and I doubt the wheel are going to deflect crashes as TFA says Don't get me wrong, I hope I'm completely off the mark and its the greatest innovation in land-transport since sliced bread, but I am skeptical....

  12. I Rate This Article: 3 stars on Some Netflix Users Have Rated 50,000 Shows · · Score: 3, Funny

    because I liked it

  13. Re:Evidence on Some Netflix Users Have Rated 50,000 Shows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or not watching them and just randomly assigning a score (or assigning it based on what you think it would be)

  14. Re:Nothing to see here on Wolfenstein Gets Ray Traced · · Score: 1

    yeah.....but that accent.......doesnt it make you want to buy the brooklyn bridge from him?

  15. Re:Bad consequences on Court Says First Sale Doctrine Doesn't Apply To Licensed Software · · Score: 1

    Yes....goodbye sales of things-which-the-creator-said-are-non-transferable-in-ownership-in-the-copyright and which you still bought even though you always have the option to not buy something if you dont agree to the terms

  16. Re:A simpler proof? Please? on How the Web Rallied To Review the P != NP Claim · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In fact Fermat would have himself needed a much simpler (and thus different) proof.......unless he made a mistake/made it up

  17. Re:A simpler proof? Please? on How the Web Rallied To Review the P != NP Claim · · Score: 1

    prove N = 1

  18. BS on Possible Room Temperature Superconductor Achieved · · Score: 1

    the "kink" that supports superconductivity does not look like an actual kink.....I dont know how they decided to fit their data but dartboard springs to mind

  19. Re:The stuff that's actually interesting on Micro Plane That Perches On Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Do they address how well this stalling works in conditions that include wind? A bird can adjust or pull out of the stall, can these planes do this in the position they are in?

    Just to be pre-emptive. No, we don’t REALLY think it’s tragic. Leisure surfing is critical to productivity (strangely enough). There are quite a few studies out there to back this up. We just thought it was interesting number-play!

    It was probably time you would otherwise be using surfing /., so in the end net neutral

    5) Maine has a distracted driving law, read up on it, and observe it.

    I'll read about it while I'm driving...I 3 multitasking

  23. Re:Flatiron district on New York City Street Gets a Tourist Lane · · Score: 1

    But I'd be more annoyed at the thought of the city wanting to spend $31mm on shutting down 34th street so that people can also gawk at the Empire State Building. Who does this serve? Tourists. Tell you what - you pay me $31mm and I'll close the street for you and even throw in some tables and chairs.

    tourists do bring in many millions of dollars to NYC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_New_York_City : 30 billion/year according to wikipedia...though I dont trust them).......efforts that encourage tourism are beneficial to the city economically.....

  24. Re:Adding to the Speculation on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 1

    On the surface. Apparently he was a poor husband and neglectful father (It was in some documentary on PBS I saw years ago. Maybe Ken Burns.)

    Those are the best qualities he had
