  1. Incredible on World's First Color Moving Pictures Discovered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's amazing. It's so amazing that I almost think the National Media museum is the victim of some kind of hoax. Reading about color in motion picture films, Wikipedia says hand colored films began in 1895 with Thomas Edison. This isn't hand painted though. Anyone with photography knowledge have an explanation?

  2. JELLLY BEANS SURE CANCER! on Scientists Themselves Play Large Role In Bad Reporting · · Score: 0

    Abstract: USA TODAY LOOK HERE! Extensive research conducted in my garage on 3 pet gerbils has yielded statistically questionable results indicating jelly beans may prevent cancer. One gerbil that was lethargic and probably had cancer was fed jelly beans over a period of 2 days. The second gerbil, which probably also had cancer, wasn't fed anything. The third gerbil was control. At the end of the 2 days, the lethargic gerbil was happily running in his wheel, completely cured, while the other 2 gerbils died of malnutrition.

  3. Don't worry on Europe Sets Sights On Asteroid Tracking Radars · · Score: 1

    If Lucifer's Hammer hits the earth, I plan to continue delevering the mail. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

  4. What gave it away? on Malware Used in Aramco Attack Likely Work of Amateurs · · Score: 1

    Was it the part where it launched Space Invaders?

  5. Recommendation on University Team Builds Lego and Raspberry Pi Cluster · · Score: 1

    I would like to recommend the red and white suited astronaut lego people to maintain the server, or to work as sysadmins. They seem very dependable. If not them, then maybe the Lego people from the 70s that didn't have the smiley face painted on them. They seem more analytical and inclined to this type of work. Anybody remember them?

  6. Interesting but maybe too much on Playing At the World: a Huge New History of Gaming · · Score: 1

    The subject is interesting but I'm a little worried the book will be too complex. I might have some interest in light reading on the history of RPGs and wargaming, but I'm not sure I want to plow through an extensively reasearched tome on the subject. Also, I'm a little worried about the decision to self-publish. A good editor is probably worth his/her weight. All the same, this looks very intereting, and I'm impressed by someone who is crazy enough to dedicate this much time to the subject.

  8. Nice on Opus — the Codec To End All Codecs · · Score: 2

    A nice way to honor Opus the penguin.

  9. Because... on Why Are Operating System Version Names So Absurd? · · Score: 1

    "Why is this area of software marketing so ridiculous?" Because the names are created by people in marketing who don't care about software. Get ready for the resourceful rat version of Ubuntu 14.

  10. Taleb on More Warnings About High-Frequency Trading · · Score: 1

    I hear the voice of Taleb warning of the rare event. I wonder what the possibility of many of these algorithm derived mass trades all hitting a stock simultaneously. Maybe they can make an entire company "blow up," or an exhcange, or an entire economy. But that is foolish thinking, by someone who doesn't know much of anything.

  11. Youtube on Majority of Mobile Malware Now Reliant On Toll Fraud · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Searched for SMS toll fraud on Youtube and found far more shocking and disturbing videos of New Yorkers and New Jerseyites running toll plazas on state highways. Let's get our priorities straight on this website and start addressing issues that have real consequence please.

  12. Prototypes on A Few Photos From Secretive Blue Origin: Is That a Crew Capsule? · · Score: 2

  14. Uncertainty on Violation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 2

    The uncertainty on my understanding of this article is very large, that mean the uncertainty on someone else's understanding is very small. That person needs to explain it.

  15. Smartphone 2.3 on For Android Users, 2012 Is Still the Year of Gingerbread · · Score: 1

    So it runs most all the apps people use. It does pretty much anything the average smartphone user needs to do. It's ubiquitous. It's kind of like Android XP.

  16. Re:Start Button on Windows Phone 8 SDK — By Appointment Only · · Score: 1

    Did you notice there's no start button? They moved it.

  17. Re:What's wrong with this picture on Samsung: Android's Multitouch Not As Good As Apple's · · Score: 1

    What are you implying?

  18. What's wrong with this picture on Samsung: Android's Multitouch Not As Good As Apple's · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, I swear to God, our multitouch sucks, its nowhere as good as Apple's. He's lying your honor, their Samsung multitouch is almost as good as Apple's

  19. Complimentary Egg Roll on Group Behind 'Aurora' Attack on Google Still Active · · Score: 1

    The attackers also left a coupon for a complimentary egg roll, good until the end of the month.

  24. Acronyms on The Lies Disks and Their Drivers Tell · · Score: 1

    Implementing the NCQ specification in nonhierarchical file system can easily be accomplished by passing an FMGH array through an EMH converter, while maintaining the NCQ specification via a THGN override. All NCQ specification still conform to the YTUR standard established in 1987 at the CMSD conference in Barcelona. If that helps at all.

  25. Exciting cloud on Cloud Firm MediaFire Flags Malware Samples For DMCA Violation, Bans Researcher · · Score: 1

    Until there are greater protections for my rights and until the legal system sorts out the details of how I am going to "legally" consume media, the excitement about "the Cloud" will lead me to store my information in "the Drive."
