  1. Slashdot did it first? on Amazon Scores Another Patent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't the scope of the patent something like slashdot? Comments about articles? A discussion system on the Web?

  2. Re:Most Accurate Portrayal of a Computer Award... on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, finnally an April Fool I CAN play on my colleagues :-)

    What do you want? That's what computers sound. Or don't they sound like this in the movies?

  3. Re:atta boy... on Hacking the Streamium · · Score: 2, Informative

    that being Sony will sue him into revoking via DMCA,... LOL

    So you dont even read the post ehh. It clearly mentions Philips' streamium MCi-200. So if you must first post, then first post correctly.

  4. Re:The Stranded Engineer (old but priceless) on What is Your Best Tech Joke? · · Score: 1

    Please tell me that this story was not tailored to be this long, because after clicking on "Read the rest of this comment..." i was REALLY ROFLOLANPMP.

  5. Re:The Joke with No Punchline on What is Your Best Tech Joke? · · Score: 1

    Ok but i mind begins to reel after realizing, that his character is called Bender ...

  6. How will it work ? on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1
    "multiple CD-Rom Burners?"

    If a concert didn't last at least 90 min * encore, i feel cheated. So you can burn 80 min max on an empty CD-R, you need at least 2 Empty ones for the concert.

    And you must also look at the conditions in some arenas or clubs, not exactly equiment friendly.

    But with new Burners in the 52x-Range, mobile racks, and an rxpert soundcheck up front it might be possible

  7. Re:Worst Acronym Ever. on A New Protocol For Faster Web Services? · · Score: 1

    No, the right 1337 Acronym is of course 0DP34, pronounced as Odd Pee for,

    *duck*

  8. I have to buy another copy of "The White Album" .. on DVD: Degradable Versatile... · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wasn't it in "Men in Black" when Mr.Agent K shows a little silvery disc and says something like: This little thing will substitute the CD in the next years. SH**, so i havce to buy "The White Album" again. Maybe this is a similiar plan?

  9. Re:Answering your question mark. on Finding Every Species · · Score: 2
    It's considered poor taste to name a species after yourself, and respectable scientists don't do it. But there has been a noticeable breakdown in the culture of science in the last decade or so, so I think you can expect to see more species named after their discoverers, and probably sponsoring corporations, too.

    You mean like the famous australian marsupilami, The Coca-Cola bear?

  10. Re:intellectual property rights? on Science Fact From Fiction · · Score: 2

    Hey in the 50's somebody wanted to patent the water-bed. He couldn't becaus R.A. Heinlein described it 5 years earlier.

  11. Re:Not suprised on Computers Not Working In Education · · Score: 2
    There is no substitute to practice, memorization and self-discipline.

    Memorization is a part of learning, but to force an intelligent being to memorize the multiplication tables is an act of torture on the being. You do not learn how to operate with numbers, you just memorize them. I was forced to learn the small and the big 1x1, but what will I do when its 102x12?

    There's an Proverb which applies in this situation:Give a fish to a man to feed him for a day, teach him fihing and he will never be hungry again

    Please read some Piaget or Glasersfeld before calling someone a twit, especially on the subject of memorizing computer languages. To memorize them, is a waste of gray goo.

  12. Throwing rice, and shouting: on Me Oh Me Oh My, Malda Gets Married · · Score: 2

    Congratulations, who caught the bouquet?

  13. Ready for the Enterprise on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 5, Funny

    I thought,Linux was ready for the enterpise since Kernel 1.7.0.1-D.

  14. Re:In Soviet Russia on Cancer Mouse Not Patentable in Canada · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    you have forgotten the link to a website with a goatse.

  15. Re:What about Heinlein himself? on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    You forgot that he also invented the water bed.

  16. Re:Favorite SF universe... on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 2

    >The only other author I can think of right offhand that created anything like Herbert's Dune universe in scope is Tolkien and Middle-Earth.

    I might introduce you to Peter F. Hamilton. His Night's Dawn Universe is IMHO as rich as the Dune Universe.

  17. Re:Easy proposal. on Library Censorware Blocks Own Site · · Score: 2

    O.K.

    I bite. So its a Federal Law in which country? I presume you want the U.S of A.. But i recall some other countrys on this planet, like maybe France or the U.K. or even Fidschi. So how do you enforce this Federal law on the Internet?

  18. Re:How many....answer on Interview with Brewster Kahle · · Score: 2, Funny

    = 23.42 Bills of constitution? + div. amend.

  19. Re:How many on Interview with Brewster Kahle · · Score: 1

    The comment directly above yours is directly to the LOC.

    There it states:It is also the largest library in the world, with more than 120 million items on approximately 530 miles of bookshelves.

    So you are wrong by at least two orders of magnitude

    Shame on you, and shame on me for nitpicking

  20. Re:Give me karma on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 1

    Maybe i've got another googlebar on my Mozilla, but a "NEW!" button isn't there. The "Search Site" is followed by a 4-leaf clover for "I'm feeling lucky".

    The "up" button is followd by the search terms. Is this the Highlight function?

  21. Re:I want to know what he uses in his hair. on Fact and Fiction Behind Bond's Gadgets · · Score: 2, Informative

    Q had fabricated this extremly useful hair gel. And if u mix it with your aftershave, guess what, instant C4.

  22. Re:What's you're favourite gadget? on Fact and Fiction Behind Bond's Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Its got to be Little Nellie. Come on, remote controls cars may be cool, but what about somebody else gettin the remote?

    Little Nellie on the other hand fits into a suitcase, flies and has ASM's. What else does the modern spy need?

  23. Re:The system won't change on Mathematicians: Elections Flawed · · Score: 1

    If you are not an US American, the book will be hard to find, if Heinleins will is followed. But alas, commercialism as it is, even amazon has it.

  24. Re:Tea? on Antimatter Space Drive · · Score: 1

    Why is there a Penguin under my table?

  25. Re:A lot will go unseen... on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 1

    That only shows that oral tradition has a reason. May i introduce you to the world of Homer, not the Simpson guy, but the blind greek poet who wrote the Illias and the Odysee?
