  1. Re:On naming versions... on Minecraft Is Finished · · Score: 1

    I understand the argument of confusion, but thats not the case here. Game is distributed as a "launcher" executable, which downloads some .jars at first login. A few seconds later (game files arent very large, as one can easily imagine in this case) you play the fresh, newest version right from the Mojang servers. And, AFAIR, EULA prohibits distribution of older versions of files.

  2. Re:Who? on Old Man Murray Entry Deleted From Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Never hearing about something is not a pro-deletion point. If it was, well, what would encyclopedia be for, anyway?

  3. Re:No, because science != sci-fi/fantasy on Can Movies Inspire Kids To Be Future Scientists? · · Score: 1

    Solaris perhaps?

    Good example. Aside from being inferior to original novel by Lem, in both "plot" and "scientific content" categories. And being marketed mostly with G. Clooneys buttocks, AFAIR... and THAT is one of the best examples Holywood could come up with as "good science fiction". Point taken, movie industry FTW!

  4. Re:Putin and freedom !!?? on Putin Orders Russian Move To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    The result? A win/win/win situation.

    Don't you mean a 'lin/lin/lin situation'?

    He surely meant "win". "Win/win/win/win/win/win/win". I mean, Windows 7, right?

  5. Hey! on Google Seeking "Search Without Search" · · Score: 1

    "It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like a search engine query result?"

  6. How do they check how loud commerial is? on House Passes TV Commercial Volume Bill · · Score: 2

    I didn't read TFB, but: How do they measure? As far as I'm concerned, it is not trivial, taking into account tricks put to use by tv stations to fool measurement. Where I live, similar law has been in effect. Loudness is measured by standarised means (ITU-R BS1770-1). And guess what - nothing changed, because no proper equipment has been passed to the regulators...

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

    Where I come from "bateria" is the word for "battery". That said: it's quite impressive how much data could be stored in a typicall phone or notebook battery at rate of 90GB/g. Now I foresee hard drive manufacturers will have to put 90Ah/g into their products to stay competitive...

  8. Blizz, you fail to understand definition of "fun" on Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class, PvP Arena Battles · · Score: 1

    Blizzard added Traits to give the classes another level of customization, and to separate the fun choices (skills) from the math choices.

    Seriously... since when math and fun are two separate ideas?

  9. Re:There is no way anyone would volunteer on NASA Reveals Hundred Year Starship Program · · Score: 1

    Thankfully Vint Cerf already took care of that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet#Development. Not that they worked around the delay thing, but till the next increment they will have that solved, for sure.

  10. Re:Anonymous Coward on Tesla Signs $60 Million Contract With Toyota · · Score: 2, Funny

    Anyone else initially assume it was about the band, Tesla?

    Anyone else initially assumed it was about Nikola Tesla?
