  1. Re:da fuq? on George Lucas Selects Chicago For the Star Wars Museum · · Score: 3

    Erm... yes and no, but actually no.

    The scene you're referring to was added in the special edition (1997). Boba Fett's first appearance was in fact in an animated sequence of the famously bad holiday special (1978) which depicts events a year after episode 4 and 2 years prior to episode 5.

  2. Re:"13th regeneration" on Should the Next 'Doctor Who' Be a Woman? · · Score: 1

    Also, John Hurt played an unknown past incarnation of the doctor, hence, Matt Smith is actually at least the 12th doctor.

  3. Re:Sounds improbable on Dutch Cold Case Murder Solved After 8000 People Gave Their DNA · · Score: 1

    This has happened before:
    Original in German | Google Translate (English)

    18,000 men were asked to give samples, ~80% did - among them the perpetrator. Apparently some relatives went and he couldn't come up with a good excuse to skip.

  4. Re:Suggestion on Brain Scan Can Predict Math Mistakes · · Score: 1

    How about a device that lets you punch people in the face via TCP/IP?

  5. Suggestion on Brain Scan Can Predict Math Mistakes · · Score: 5, Funny

    There should be a system like that for posting on the internet... "Error Code 427 - there is a 80% probability you're posting bullshit. Your post was discarded."

  6. Consequences? on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 1

    Will I have to pay taxes for my house in Skyrim? Will I be charged with manslaughter for the Tamagochi I dropped years ago?

  7. Re:1994? I was on the Internet in 1983. on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: 1

    Interesting... Apparently people in '83 cared about correct punctuation and spelling!

  8. Office Add-Ins? on Can Windows, OS X and Fedora All Work Together? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that your administration may use certain Word or Excel add-ins or simple VB macros. These will not work under OpenOffice, most likely not even on the Microsoft Office suite for OS X.

  9. Augmented Reality on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to design augmented reality visions and software and put them into regular airplanes?

    At least this would let all passengers chose if they want to feel like being shot through the air at 900 KMH...

  10. Re:I teach survey design... This is terrible. on A Broadband Survey That Asks the Right Questions · · Score: 1

    Hah, I love that comment!

    "Overall - considering performance, cost, and any other factors - how would you rate your ISP?" - so many factors in one 10-point scale? WTF are you thinking?
    First, think about what you want to find out, make up hypotheses and then ask something related to them that can actually be translated into usable results.

    As I've pointed out before: The creator of the survey was apparently constrained by the service she used to build this thing. By the looks of it, it's utter crap probably not even designed to be used for surveys. If she had googled (or binged, whatever...) for 5 seconds, she would have found at least 10 more suitable tools on the first page of results alone.

  11. Re:Uhmmmmm on A Broadband Survey That Asks the Right Questions · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well... If I wanted to create a proper survey, I wouldn't use the free version of www.123contactform.com (I just assume that the creator used the free version, since it's limited to 10 questions per form and the survey has 10 questions...). Get yourself a proper server (IIS should do it too) and install a proper system like LimeSurvey (http://www.limesurvey.org/) - you'll find that more useful than some ugly online service. Have fun evaluating all those textboxes!
