  1. Re:Missing information on Hubble Reveals a Previously Unknown Dwarf Galaxy Just 7 Million Light Years Away · · Score: 1
    From the fucking paper

    The low surface brightness object KKs 3 with J2000 coordinates: RA = 02h24m44.s4, Dec. = â'73*30'51" was detected in full sky surveys by Karachentseva & Karachentsev (2000) and Whiting, Hau & Irwin (2002) as a potential dSph galaxy neighbouring the Local Group.

    I see what you did there.

  3. Actually, he's right on Paul Graham: Let the Other 95% of Great Programmers In · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We will have to import the great programmers because we shipped all the entry level jobs overseas. To use a baseball analogy, all the farm teams and minor leagues have been shipped out of the country, so where do we get the next generation of major league players from?

  4. Re:do what you want. on Should Video Games Be In the Olympics? · · Score: 2

    That's not an Olympian, it's a hunter (maybe the camo and gloves would be a clue). If you look, you'll see the two vertical cables between the riser (handle) and the shooter's face. That means it's a COMPOUND bow, which, as I said, aren't used in the Olympics.

  5. Re:do what you want. on Should Video Games Be In the Olympics? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'd love to see him post that shit on ArcheryTalk and watch him get laughed out of the building.

    BTW: Compound bows and peeps sights are NOT used in the Olympics; his "33 feet" is just out his arse, Olympics are shot at 70 meters. After that, he just starts talking bullshit.

    Bennett Haselton is working on one for you right now.

  7. Re:They do have one advantage on Should Video Games Be In the Olympics? · · Score: 1

    Boxing (non-KO/TKO). Any sport with line judges. (Was it in, or out?) Any sport with referees. (Was that a foul? Is his shoulder on the mat?) It's only recently with high-speed cameras we can truly objectively declare who won a race. There's a LOT of subjectivity in Olympic sports.

  8. Re:Chainsaws? on TSA Has Record-Breaking Haul In 2014: Guns, Cannons, and Swords · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cannons, chainsaws, swords... Feh, that's nothing. I was on a flight recently where some terrist tried to get on board with 16 ounces of shampoo!!! Luckily, the alert and quick-thinking TSA guardians of public safety caught him before he could cause any gory deaths.

  9. Easy Peasy on Boeing and BlackBerry Making a Self-Destructing Phone · · Score: 1

  10. The Microsoft Band on Extracting Data From the Microsoft Band · · Score: 1

    So, that's like the early Ramones? All the songs 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, three chords max?

  11. Re:I'll pass on 3D Printer Owner's Network Puts Together Buyer's Guide · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Wake me when they're called "matter compilers".

  12. Because with many diseases, people are contagious before they are recognizably symptomatic? Or are you suggesting that unvaccinated people should go out in public crying "UNCLEAN!"?

  13. Re:First post on How Relevant is C in 2014? · · Score: 5, Funny

    We're talking about C. You want the zeroeth post.

  14. Re:"there's a certain logic to doing those in Texa on Tesla Wants Texas Auto Sales Regulations Loosened · · Score: 4, Funny

    They'll end up paying twice the difference in bribes to state and local politicians and bureaucrats. Functionaries in India go to sleep DREAMING they lived in Texas. Illinois governors dream that when they get out of prison they'll get elected in Texas.

    Nah. It looks more like an ovum. ..... OMG! That's why we're not supposed to land there!

  18. Re:Gas not less CO2 on refiring coal plants on Coal Plants Get New Lease On Life With Natural Gas · · Score: 0

    Please don't bring logic and engineering to the discussion, we're busy blaming liberals and environmentalists for resisting another corporate handout. After all, it's the "envirwackos", not the NIMBY soccer moms and the timid capitalists keeping us from having a shiny nuclear plant on every block. We NEED to be spending public money to "upgrade" privately-owned, already-amortized and obsolete coal plants to inefficiently burn natural gas. It's a Christmas miracle!

    By that logic, without regulation there would be people kicking in your front door, raping your daughter and taking your shit.

  24. Re:Dumping on Intel Announces Major Reorg To Combine Mobile and PC Divisions · · Score: 1

    LOL really? All the Android tablet makers should just fold their tents? Because "the user experience for Android on a tablet device is horrible compared to the iPad"? And "[Android] is slighty better than an ebook reader"? I'm sure they'll all discontinue making Android tablets later today. iPad/iPhone 4ever!!1!!!

    And Google and Samsung disappeared in a puff of fanboyism.

    "This is a ballot-box or pocket-book issue that hasn't really been seen yet in the United States."

    Not while the mega-conglomerates control the news AND the cables it runs on. And, of course, the Senators who would vote on it.
