  1. Re:Icon ? on Monty Python 40 Years Old Today! · · Score: 3, Informative

    As I heard it that march was played at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. When the show started people commented that Monty Python was very cheeky using it. After a time people started asking why the guard changed to the Monty Python theme and they stop using it to change the guard to.

  2. Re:Icon ? on Monty Python 40 Years Old Today! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not above 20000 :-)

  3. Fansy returns on Researcher Trolls MMO, Surprised When Players Hate Him · · Score: 1

    Google "Everquest Fansy Go Go Good Team" ... this guy is at best unoriginal, at worst really needs to get a life!

  4. I'm not sure how it improves things... on Netflix To Eliminate Profiles Feature · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My family uses it and its only been a positive. I'm betting a bean counter marketing type suggested that it might force me to get separate accounts if I couldnt use the separate queues.

  5. Death to the authors!!!!! on Engineers Have a Terrorist Mindset? · · Score: 1


    They should be slaughtered like animals for even suggesting such a correlation!

    If I didn't have a code freeze today I'd do it myself.

  6. I wonder what this will cost them? on Sony's Idea of DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    Advertising, marketing materials, designing the cards, aquiring them, distributing them, selecting the tracks, making them available...

    You see an idea so clearly flawed, and the millions they put into it, it just maddening.

    And it's a bit of a mandate on how out of touch with the consumers they are.

  7. Or worry less about the NAS and... on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    I had a fire and lost, along with a lot else, my NAS and other backups. After that I started using offsite backup. I put less emphasis on the flawless local solution, and more on safe off site backup integration. For windows I'm doing mozy.com - well integrated.

  8. It's film and processing that worries me... on Digital Cameras Force Film Off Dixons' Shelves · · Score: 1


    I've an old Nikon FM from the late 1970s that I love. I always develop prints and have a CD of JPEGs burned now. It doesnt concern me if impulse buying stores don't carry film cameras. What concerns me is that it's harder and harder to find 35mm film and more and more often the services seem to damage the negatives during processing (isnt it done by machine?!). They've killed of black & white support which I still used to shoot now and again too.

    Like it or not 35mm sems to be reaching end of life.

  9. No more free DVD's for postal workers?!! on Leaked Screenshots Show Netflix Downloads · · Score: 1


    Recently I've had a rash of Netflix DVD's stolen in the mail, both coming and going (and I mail the out bound ones at work). Netflix is close to cutting me off. I assume this is because the DVDs are so obviously packaged, and DVD players are common now.

  10. Honeypot on Sweden Bans Copyrighted Downloading · · Score: 2, Interesting
    • Compose a page discussing Sweden sad state of affairs on this issue.
    • Copyright it.
    • Specify, on the page, that the fair use of this copyrighted material does not include reading it if you are of Swedish nationality.
    • Seed google with it.


  11. Statue of Liberty on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Ripped off... on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 1

    Yup - I don't agree with the tagline.

  13. Ripped off... on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 1, Insightful


    Saying it was ripped off isn't fair. Yes they are still milking the Monty Python fame but many Python fans we eager to see a new twist on the old stuff. Spamalot wasn't just a cut an paste job. Things were adapted to live stage, dated content was updated and a good bit of new content was added. Some of my favorite sequences were the new material in fact. They were messing about with sacred materials and did a really good job.

  14. Worm didnt spread... on What Does a Spreading Worm Look Like? · · Score: 0


    Couldnt view that as my firewall stopped it. :)

  15. ID not scientific theory but Darwin is broken on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1
    Clearly ID isn't a scientific theory as it doesn't provide a basis upon which whon can make predictions.

    Theory: A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.


    But Darwinism, while it is a scientific theory, and is useful, is broken in interesting ways too. It only makes predictions about how the number of species is reduced. How the less fit are eliminated. But it doesnt address at all the rampent diversity observed, in fact it is counter to diversity.

    Science is exploration. I don't think an ID provided the initial diversity, but I don't have any problem them mentioning widely held beliefs, even if they are not scientific, as long as the science gets tought as well. It's part of the exploration. Consider ID and eliminate it.
  16. Two questions I'd like to ask... on Ask Alton Brown How Food+Heat=Cooking · · Score: 1


    1) Maybe you've not heard this belief before, but I've heard it repeatedly - microwaved food will get just as hot but it cools faster. Heat transfer is heat transfer right? I mean this can't be true and yet I'd swear that that egg I scrambled in the microwave burned my mouth at first but was fine in about 30 seconds. Is this all in peoples heads?

    2) I like giving a rice cooker to a non-cook starting to stock their first kitchen. It can be used and abused for a lot of recipes and isn't a space hog (I also give a collection of tips my asian wife and I have come up with for it). What's the first kitchen item/tool/appliance you'd give?
