  1. Re:It's 1:09am London time. on Study Shows Technology May Inhibit Good Sleep · · Score: 1

    3:15 here and Greece and going for an all-nighter, should I worry?

  2. Now that's some wild imagination... on Only 39% Curse At Their Computers? · · Score: 1

    I think someone speculates too much, reimagining the results however they want. In other news, I hear that 90% of statistic researches are made up.

  3. Oh look it's Super Mario! on Tethered, Water-Powered Jetpack Provides Two Hours of Flight Time · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seems to me they discovered the FLUDD, nice.

  4. How is that new!? on Julia Meets HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Just Google it, there are various years old implementations! http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/10/23-pretty-javascript-fractals.html

  5. Slashdotted already? on Voting Opens For Mozilla Labs Web Gaming Competition · · Score: 1

    Now that was fast. Also shame these games won't run on most smartphones because of canvas. So much for open web standards (and don't get me wrong, I love them)

  6. Where the hell are Sony links? on Nintendo Warns 3D Games Can Ruin Children's Eyes · · Score: 1

    All I read in the links is about Nintendo, with links claiming that Sony said so. WTF?

  7. Re:Choice on Google Pushes Openness Over Rooting · · Score: 1

    Tron Legacy: Someting unexpected happens? Call it part of the original plan.

  8. That efficiently? on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, neither the Talibans nor Al-Qaeda have been eliminated or beaten. Palin being the intelligent person she is, is just supporting Wikileaks, knowing they will never be able to hunt them down efficiently.

  9. Re:I'm more interested... on Hong Kong Team Stores 90GB of Data In 1g of Bacteria · · Score: 3, Funny

    And yet, they till haven't fixed it after so many comments. It mut be intentional!

  10. Re:Slideshow? on Google's Slideshow of Interesting Things · · Score: 1

    Agreed. They should have post a series of images, or *bah* an animated gif instead of a flash contained video.

  11. How do they manage to keep a day job & teach? on What If We Ran Universities Like Wikipedia? · · Score: 1

    Seriously though, how do they manage to keep a day job, a teaching job, do research (if their field is appropriate) and keep time for their family and personal life? Well, they don't if you ask me, it's more like jack of all trades master of none.

  12. Re:war solves this, usually. on Humans Will Need Two Earths By 2030 · · Score: 1

    mod parent up It's the way we humans take care of variou stuff. Look at Iraq abd Afganistan: unemployment, lack or raw materials, wide testing of new systems. That ought to work or wiping out the eastern countries. Either that, or some new, evolved embola virus.

  13. Re:10,000 users a day... on French ISP Refuses To Send Out Infringement Notices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If this applied to certain unfortunate african countries, then murder wouldn't be illegal.

  14. Re:The Picture in Question on Libya Takes Hard Line On Link Shortening Domains · · Score: 0

    Why exactly is my post mod'd as "troll", did I somehow miss to raise an argument? Perhaps the one who did it should study a bit more. Keyword: Sharia Religion is obviously a means towards ethics. That does not make it useless. In your country perhaps, but there, it's designed for poor, uneducated people, that can respect an imaginary friend for adults more than the incompetent government of theirs or the bandits and gangs around. inb4: Yes, I'm an atheist.

  15. Re:The Picture in Question on Libya Takes Hard Line On Link Shortening Domains · · Score: 0, Troll

    Should you get ethics out of government too? Because their religious law is actually a set of ethics; unfamiliar to the westerners perhaps but you can't argue about the right of being culturally different.

  16. Human resources are cheaper on Analyzing CAPTCHAs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, what use of are captchas anymore when they pay actual humans to do the dirty work? I got like hundreds of fake users with IPs from India and China in my forums, that sign up just for putting a CEO tailored message and URL in their signature.

  17. Re:Not so bad of a result on Stuxnet Infects 30,000 Industrial Computers In Iran · · Score: 1

    Confusing defensive with counter-offensive are we?

  18. How about lower rates? on Zoho Don't Need No Stinking Ph.D. Programmers · · Score: 1

    Degrees are useless? The guy only wants to pay less, that's all he cares for. Why pay a higher rate for a Ph.D. when you can hire a standard-salary, home-educated slave?

  19. Re:Aside from Flash.... on Opera Mini For iPhone Submitted To App Store Today · · Score: 1

    "It works quite well, performance is good, tight integration with all internal and third party apps" Isn't that IE6 all over again?

  20. identifiable access to the internet? on Every British Citizen To Have a Personal Webpage · · Score: 1

    What about foreigners that are temporarily in Britain and want to deal with something? And now that they will be given per person IDs and passwords the field is open for identifiable internet access, login or you can't connect.

  21. Re:Why? on Correcting Poor Typing Technique? · · Score: 1

    I hunt and peck up and I get 50-60 on www.typingtest.com, therefore you're either typing slow my friend or hunt and peck is underestimated...

  22. UI lead designer also created FF's icon on Opera 10.50 Beta Out, With Competitive JavaScript · · Score: 1

    It's is also noteworthy that John Hicks of http://hicksdesign.co.uk/ the guy that created the Firefox logo is now lead UI designer in Opera
