  1. Ballmer is slated to teach on edX Welcomes 'The University of Microsoft' Into Its Fold · · Score: 2

    jumping jacks 101.

  2. "That's no moon - on Strange Stars Pulse To the Golden Mean · · Score: 1, Funny

    I mean star..."

  3. Re:How about crediting the original designers on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 1

    Making them smaller doesn't make them less ugly. I hope "Tiny Icons Work" is a descriptor and not a complete sentence.

  4. Re:Crosshatch? on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 1

    Right. Forgot that hideous detail.

  5. Re:How about crediting the original designers on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 1

    Because we're talking about a decent, enduring bit of iconography, as opposed to the abysmal set that the Xerox system used http://toastytech.com/guis/gvs...

  6. Re:Crosshatch? on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 2

    She likely had a Lisa to work with for development, the icons in that UI were abysmal and it's hard to tote around a $10K / 40lb desktop machine when the muse visits. Many artists to this day still work with paper. Shocking, I know.

  7. Any interest in the Icon Garden pieces? on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 1

    Last I heard they were warehoused by Steve.

  8. OS X and iOS are melding... on Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    ... sometimes clumsily (iPhoto icon good. Photos icon bad.) they too need to decide flat&tilted vs roundrect vs circles. They're still a bit schizophrenic about device icons within programs and in the Finder. Given the history of Windows 7 to 8 to 10, they don't need any more flash points. I'd imagine they simply need to lock the door until they can release a coherent UI. And please stop with the size-shifting icons/panes. It's useless on desktop UI (it know which icon I need - letting me make some of them the size of baseball cards is no gain) and just reduces focus on a small screen. Someone needs to stop imagining that there is a non-modal better way to use a small device.

  9. Pity he didn't realize on How Activists Tried To Destroy GPS With Axes · · Score: 1

    that the dual purpose of GPS birds is to detect treaty-restricted space detonations of nukes. That sounds like a win for the good guys and was part of the deal that got our nav systems up there in the first place.

  10. Hellooooo... Hopefully fix the pitiful resolution! on What Would Minecraft 2 Look Like Under Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    It's like building with Duplos! I mean, it's 2015 for pete's sake!

  11. Fast charge is nice, but isn't 500+ ppi on Samsung Officially Unpacks Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge At MWC · · Score: 2

    just flagpole-sitting at this point?

  12. It's all fun and games on Foxconn Factories' Future: Fewer Humans, More Robots · · Score: 1

    until the robots organize and start emailing Breitbart about plant conditions...

  13. Ooookay... on Blu-Ray Players Hackable Via Malicious Discs · · Score: 1

    and so now they can do what to my stuff?

  14. Nvr mind. on Argonne National Laboratory Shuts Down Online Ask a Scientist Program · · Score: 1

    Saw your timeline below. Thanks again.

  15. Many thanks! on Argonne National Laboratory Shuts Down Online Ask a Scientist Program · · Score: 1

    Can you post when success is achieved?

  16. OK, except sometimes one of the levers on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    is out of reach. She's making droughts and we're fresh out of reservoirs - I believe to restore California's current water deficit, you would need to clone Lake Mead three+ times.

  17. Phew. Thank heavens my brain didn't explode on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    while reading the first graf, or I would never have gotten to the second. Well done.

  18. No. Just no. Not clear about this? on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    Then let me be more clear. Do. Not. So. Much. As. Put. Numbers. On. This. We have already modified this plant to a point that - if not tipping - is within sight of tipping to a currently living generation. Work on solving the existing problem, not adding another un-projectable problem on top of the current one. This is like doing brain surgery with duct tape and a soup spoon.

  19. It would take forever. on The Science of a Bottomless Pit · · Score: 1

    Because after the first poor sap died at the mantle, it would take forever to convince he second poor sap to jump into the failed attempt at the hole.

  20. Why the laughable prices? on Interviews: Ask Stephen Wolfram a Question · · Score: 1

    I mean $300 for "hobbyist" software with zero support? C'mon.

  21. Where's the kaboom? on Mysterious Martian Plumes Discovered By Amateur Astronomers · · Score: 1

    Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

  22. No one. Well, except all those people buying on Tesla Factory Racing To Retool For New Models · · Score: 2

    mid-range BMW, Audi, Volvo, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, and top trim Ford, Chevy, Buick, Chrysler, Toyota etc. sedans. I believe I've seen a few of those around. Wait, I've seen lots.

  23. Maybe hire him, def not the tat artist... on Researcher Developing Tattoo Removal Cream · · Score: 1
  24. "That's no moon..." on Time-Lapse of Pluto and Charon Produced By New Horizons · · Score: 1

    (obligatory Ep.IV quote... parenthetical added since last time some people though this was a dissertation in planetary astronomy)

  25. fp;dr on Should We Really Try To Teach Everyone To Code? · · Score: 1

    (flawed premise, didn't read) "While everyone today needs to be an app developer," Stop right there. Not even remotely true. Students should know what it's like to code just like they should know what it;s like to sing, write, experiment, etc. Show them what's out there, let them decide.
