  1. Re:Crank it to 11 on Knuth Got It Wrong · · Score: 1

    10 times faster? Yawn. Wake me up when it's 11 times faster.

    How about something that's 11 times as fast?

    So [a polygraphi] is just like a Scientology body thetan test machine?

    Yeah, but without the volcanoes. Big difference.

  6. It's about time a stop was put to these combos on Australian Buyers Say They Were Told "No iPad Without Accessories" · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's about time this was stopped. I'm tired of being told that I have to buy a whole container of salt when I just want to buy one grain. They "force" me to buy the whole container. Who are they to tell me what terms they're going to sell me something they own, anyway?!?

  7. Re:I did something more interesting... on Researchers Create Social Engineering IRC Bot · · Score: 3, Funny

    Even though bizarre phrases happened (like "I want to insert my 8 inch vagina into your deep wet penis") most people amazingly didn't even find it strange, and even though it was probably left running all night and created more probably a hundred "encounters", no one even suspected a tiny little about what was going on, no one!

    So you're the one who made me gay!!!!!!!

  8. Re:there is a problem on When Will the Automotive Internet Arrive? · · Score: 1

    I love your subject line "there is a problem". Oh, really? How about "Doesn't work unless all cars have it". Summarizes your entire post.

  9. Re:And what's new? on Researchers Create Social Engineering IRC Bot · · Score: 1

    I did something similar for a friend, helping him pick up women on IRC. The bot learned his usual questions and if they answered about 10 questions, it meant they were interested in him and the bot would forward the conversation to him and he continued it. Another time, I wrote an IRC bot for myself; it would act as a man-in-the-middle to pick up women by getting female nicknames and then forwarding the messages it got to other female-like nicknames it detected. If the conversation went long enough, it forwarded everything to me and I would pick up the chat from there.

    Still at Slashdot. Sorry it didn't work.

  10. Good old unintended consequences on Foxconn May Close Factories In China · · Score: 1

    The CEO has accused workers of killing themselves for financial compensation, and the company has stopped suicide payments to suicide victims' families.

    Maybe paying families huge sums of money when there's a suicide isn't such a good idea, general public. Things aren't always what they seem (and I'm not saying they the money does encourage suicides for money, just that it's a possibility).

  11. Re:Bullshit on Quant AI Picks Stocks Better Than Humans · · Score: 0, Troll

    You should read up on the free market. What we have is not a free market. All the regulations you support are there to attempt to fix problems caused by yet other regulations.

  13. Re:Motorola Has Crappy UI on Motorola Planning 2GHz Android Phone For Later This Year · · Score: 1

    However, Moto customizes the OS with something called "MotoBlur." I assume that this would be a crap firmware/UI.

    So their MotoBlur is aptly named.

    Also, a two GHz processor sounds great but the impact on battery life will probably outweigh any benefits in a smart phone.

    Surely it's adjusted based on activity. I'd think the 2 GHz is more a capacity for more heavy processing when needed.

  14. Re:Privacy Advocacy Theater on Google Releases Wi-Fi Sniffing Audit · · Score: 1

    Next you'll be telling me that crying "censorship!" every time someone won't let me post something on their private message board hurts the cause for dealing with real censorship. Come on, I want my pet issue to be central stage. It worked for the Boy who Cried Wolf, didn't it? Or wait, hmmm...

  15. Re:So let me get this right... on ITER Fusion Reactor Enters Existential Crisis · · Score: 1

    The solution is simple: eliminate the human population. It's ironic because according to them, the best way to do this would be to build nukes everywhere, and let them all melt down and go through the center of Earth and erupt volcanoes of highly radioactive material everywhere, killing everyone in a fiery, horrific mutated death. Ahem.

  17. Does BP count? on Why No Billion-Dollar Open Source Companies? · · Score: 1

    I think BP is pretty open-source at the moment. They're sharing their good with every living thing in the Gulf right now, for free, though they might not remain a billion-dollar company for long...

    Even a single eye takes in multiple viewpoints. The evidence is that it can determine distance via focusing. Now, if you had a pinhole eye, yeah, it would only be viewing the scene from one point.

    Yeah, I hated making that joke post, because I love 2D platformers, especially SoTN.

    There are plenty of people with sight in only one eye who will testify that they see the same 3D world us two-eye-sighted people do. Two displays is just two 2D interfaces, in your terms.

  22. About time! I'm tired of 2D platformers on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's about time they start using their 3D graphics hardware. I'm pretty tired of 2D platformers. You can only take so many Castlevania Symphony of the Night sequels. I'd been wondering if the system could even DO polygons and 3D stuff, given the total absence of 3D games. I just don't see how Sony has done so well with a 2D-only system.

    Yeah, agreed. Lending still doesn't capture the flexibility of it. File sharing is exactly like... file sharing. It's not hard to understand, though even some file sharers don't get it.
