  1. Re:Easy on Why Do Videogames Struggle With Sex? · · Score: 1

    I have just started to develop a "relationship engine" for modelling complex relationships between characters, mostly among NPCs. Sorry, no code yet, documentation is still in my dead tree notebook, but will change soon when I have the time.

  2. All we need now on Researchers Develop Self-Healing Plastic · · Score: 1

    is self replicating machines built with self healing material.

  3. Obligatory on Chatbot Suzette Wins 20th Annual Loebner Prize, Fools One Judge · · Score: 1
  4. Re:What a let down on A 3D Lego Fabricator Made of Lego · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure printed bricks will cost a lot more than the original, mass produced ones. also of inferior quality(smoothness etc.)

  5. Instructions on Is DIY Algae Farming the Future? · · Score: 1

    There are instructions here for a small 100$ farm. Am I missing something?

  6. Re:Freenet on Web-Based Private File Storage? · · Score: 1

    I believe in a powerful but not omnipotent being that judges based in evidence sent by agents disguised as mortal officers, you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Gaming distro? on Unusual, Obscure, and Useful Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    No, it's Damn Vulnerable Linux that will make them feel home.

  8. Re:Good. on ASCAP Declares War On Free Culture, EFF · · Score: 1

    Actually, they have that complaint in Amsterdam: http://dirty-shirt.de/cd2/14007.jpg

  9. Pandora on Where Will Your Next Gadget Be Made? · · Score: 1

    The Pandora console PCBs are made in USA, plastic cases are made in China and the units are assembled in UK. I really would like to see others having similar patterns.

  10. Re:How is this evolution? on How Viruses Evolve Into All-Purpose Malware · · Score: 1

    If we found that viruses could evolve into say, GPL software or iPhone apps in order to propagate themselves, I might almost be tempted to believe in creation.

    There, fixed for you

  11. Been there, done that and it sucks on Proposed Law Would Require ID To Buy Prepaid Phones · · Score: 1

    In my country, you have to get through all the formality of subscription even to get a prepaid SIM card. Leave a photocopy of your ID and sign a paper nobody reads and wait for 1-2 days to get the communication on-line. I don't know what a foreigner must go through just to have a prepaid account.

  12. Re:I've got mine on Happy Towel Day · · Score: 1

    I'm carrying mine for 8 hours now and nobody asked why the &@#! I am carrying a towel. WTFs wrong with Dutch people?

  13. Re:So...who do they serve? on Druids Hired To Cut Road Accidents · · Score: 1

    Actually Islamic dogma says God indeed saved Jesus by clouding their minds and making them see the traitor as Jesus and killing him instead. So He was not resurrected because didn't die in the first place.

  14. Re:Might as well name every new MMO "Not WoW" on Aion Servers To Merge, XP Grind Softened · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't mind fighting my way through monsters to reach to some special guy or very powerful magical artifact©(which,for some reason, we are not able to use) but it is a great turnoff to just kill X of these and gather Y of those.

  15. Re:Metabolism number two on Scientists Implant Biofuel Cells Into Rats · · Score: 1

    Except that the system doesn't work on fat, but only on sugar. So big mac is a fail in this case.

  16. Re:Ohh.. a sarcasm detector! on Software Recognizes Sarcastic Tweets · · Score: 1

    Hi Ix, long time no see.

  17. Re:World is not US of A on Google Voice Now Gives Priority to Students · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My previous one was .edu.tr, now just .nl, so I'm out of luck.

  18. World is not US of A on Google Voice Now Gives Priority to Students · · Score: 3, Informative

    My university's domain doesn't end with .edu you insensitive clod!

    Where is "+1 Troll" option?

  20. Re:Of course on Twitter Bug Lets Users Force Others To Follow Them · · Score: 1

    Actually it is discovered by some anonymous guy in "inci sozluk" kind of Turkish equivalent of /b/

  21. As a member of a Robocup Humanoid team on Virginia Tech Students Build CHARLI, a Human-Sized Robot · · Score: 1

    I can say CHARLI has nice looks, compared to other teams I have seen so far. Its walking looks subpar but it will definitely improve until June. So far it is not groundbreaking or anything. For more impressive robots see Nimbro(Germany), Team Osaka(Japan) and Robo Erectus(Singapore). Our robot TUlip(Netherlands) was quiet crappy last year but we heavily modified it and expecting good publicity this year.

  22. Re:IRC on Best Alternatives To the Big Name Social Media? · · Score: 1

    Depends on your servers. You are so correct on large networks. I hang out in the private server of local computer geek club, and freenode.net. So my IRC experience is mostly pleasant. compared to any other social tools.

  23. Re:River Raid does this on IEEE Introduces Mario Level-Generation Competition · · Score: 1

    River raid diverges from random generation in an interesting way, because it uses the same seed every time you play, every time it generates the same levels. But it was very ingenious of them to use the method for "compression". Actually, somebody must have hacked the game to use different seeds to try different levels.

  24. Re:You don't say on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    I literally LOLed at the long "I learnt something today" beep, and thought it was a great joke. If this was work CC, this means CC itself is a big joke.

  25. Re:Dade Murphy? on 3rd Grader Accused of Hacking Schools' Computer System · · Score: 1

    My Internet connection at the campus dormitory was suddenly cut with no apparent reason. I checked that my cable was OK, asked if any other students have problems. IT people didn't reply my e-mails so I went there in person. It seems that I had some malware on my computer, automatically attacking others in the network, and IT cut off my access for two weeks as a punishment for my offence, without telling me anything. I told them I was immediately going to clean my system, but I had to go through some idiotic bureaucracy to get connection before my punishment is complete. I had less than two weeks to finish my BSc thesis.
