  1. And by "anti-terrorism" uses on Massive New CT Scanner Assesses Car Crash Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We mean "anti-citizen" uses. Coming soon to a highway checkpoint near you.

  2. Re:No lie . . . on Japan Promises an Ultra-High-Tech 2020 Olympics · · Score: 1

    Last time one of my friends was in Green Bay, he spent two hours asking directions to the Fudgepackers museum.

  3. Re: No, thanks. on Finding a Tech Museum For Your Beloved Retired Computer(s) · · Score: 1

    Actually, they're for my MDS 235, which still needs a good home. Still got a cabinet full of 8" ISIS II disks (ASM80/86, PLM80/86, ASM48/51) too.

    Hell, I've got unopened boxes of Dysan 8" disks. Bragging rights are about all they're worth.

  5. Re:Misleading Headline on Microsoft Investors Call For Bill Gates To Step Down As Chairman · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    There is no indication that Microsoft's board would heed the wishes of the three investors, who collectively hold more than 5 percent of the company's stock, according to the sources.

    Reading comprehension. Work on it.

  6. An interstellar flux transfer event?? on Voyager 1 May Be Caught Inside an Interstellar Flux Transfer Event · · Score: 2

    Holy shit, that could cause a resonance cascade! We should reverse the polarity of the neutron flow* immediately!

  7. Re:STAAAAAHP! on Software Rendering Engine GPU-Accelerated By WebCL · · Score: 1

    Seriously, we need a 12 step program for these "web 2.0" people.

    I can think of 5:

    1. Line 'em up.
    2. Shoot 'em.
    3. Bulldoze 'em into a ditch.
    4. Cover with lime.
    5. Repeat.

  8. Re:Misleading Headline on Microsoft Investors Call For Bill Gates To Step Down As Chairman · · Score: 1, Informative

    They also think Gates wields a disproportionate amount of power relative to his financial stake and day-to-day activity within the company.

    Gates holds 4.5% of the company stock, and the "three investors" combined hold about 5%. Sounds like a pecker contest to me.

  9. Re:US government assures economy is recovering on Microsoft Azure Platform Certified "Secure" By Department of Defense · · Score: 2

    Well, it is. The billionaire bankers and HFT guys are doing very well.

  10. Re:What happens on Microsoft Shows Off Its Vision For Gesture-Controlled PCs · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been using the same gesture at Windows machines for years. Doesn't do any good.

    Thank you, Sheldon; that was interesting.

  12. Well of course on New Solar Cell Sets Record For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure, the Germans get better solar efficiency, they get a lot more sun.

  13. Re:Could have been worse than Ctrl + Alt + Del on Bill Gates Acknowledges Ctrl+Alt+Del Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    I'm just glad we didn't have to do something like Ctrl + Alt + Del + F6 + Esc + (number pad) Enter for the same functionality.

    I just had a WordPerfect flashback.

  14. Re:No a real Amazon item on Big Box? Nissan Note the First-Ever Car You Can 'Buy' On Amazon · · Score: 1

    That's right, and it drove all the Saturn dealers out of business! My point exactly!

  15. Re:No a real Amazon item on Big Box? Nissan Note the First-Ever Car You Can 'Buy' On Amazon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Exactly. We can't let just anyone sell new cars. Otherwise, how would car dealers get their cut? Harumph! Harumph!

    Never ascribe to hubris and fate that which can be attributed to incompetence and greed.

    I don't know about you, but I look BETTER with a cashew permanently affixed to my forehead.

  19. Well... on Why Is Microsoft Setting More Money On Fire With Surface 2? · · Score: 2

    Historically, Microsoft has only succeeded with version 3 of ANYTHING. All of their biggest failures are V1 or V2.

    Idealism's got nothing to do with it. "Content creation" (and support) is one of California's largest employers.

    Corporations and Government working together. There's a word for that.

    Helloooo??? It's in California, home of the movie industry? How do you suppose this change came about?


    And, as long as we're talking about schooling,

    Most family's are forced to send there child to public schools by there circumstances

    That's "families" plural, not "family's" possessive, and "their", as in 'belonging to them', not "there", 'a place other than here'.
