    unless you get this implanted in your forehead (as I'm sure MS would wish people would do ;) ) the mugger/rapist would just take your cam. Bam, no (video) evidence.

    well, nevertheless, not flipping it over, it keeps landing tails-up when i start with heads, getting the same result that I can pretty reliably predict (and win :-D) coin tosses

  15. Re:80,000 geeks tossing at home now! on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 1

    i think you missed his "tossing as a term of masturbating" joke there.

  16. Re:Mmm-hmm. on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 1

    i too have been able to do this since elementary school... if i tossed it into the air, caught it in my hand and slapped my palm onto the top of my other hand, it was always the same as when it was on my thumb, pre-flip. I just tried it again, and got 9 out of ten called correctly, beating the statistical odds. The one flub there was when i didn't spin it correctly (too slow a spin).

  18. Re:Religion on NASA Mars Press Briefing & "Significant Findings" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    to bite for the troll who bit for another troll...

    By your own admission, your own supposition that God put this false evidence in place serves to do nothing to further your ideas of divine intervention. It becomes a matter of merely "believing" that God put all this false, divinely created evidence in place, which is a matter of taking to heart a book which has changed dozens of times since a bunch of desert nomads wrote it.

    The reason that there are no references to other worlds or ETs is that these desert nomads didn't have the vaguest concept that such things might exist.

  23. Re:just to get it out of the way on Desktop Linux Share Overtaking Macintosh · · Score: 1

    INSTALLED BASE != MARKET SHARE

    Market share is computed, what, quarterly? Yearly? Mac computers tend to stay operational (and useful!) much longer than PCs. So if someone buys two PCs in 3 years, tosses out the old PC, but buys just one Mac, that's somehow double the market share.

    I want to see numbers showing installed base, it's got to be much higher than 2%
