  1. Re: Dice Blamed for Beta on Under Armour/Lockheed Suit Blamed For US Skating Performance · · Score: 1

    In that case you'd have to regulate the olive oil applying on the body parts. Extra virgin may be lighter on fat, some variants may be more efficient on heated body than others, etc.

  2. open source = subpar standard? on Ask Slashdot: Standard Software Development Environments? · · Score: 1

    I don't quite get the "industry standard (not open source) in version control" part. What is the difference between them? Does that mean open source version control is not as up to standard as industrial solutions? I asked because so far only one of the three companies I worked for uses non-open source vcs.

  3. Re:simple on What Does IQ Really Measure? · · Score: 1

    Simple but also true. It's just a written test, nothing more. In Asian countries, there are cramp schools that give mock I.Q tests to kids as young as 6 years old. So they can do better in school's official test and get in classes with better resource for science education, etc.

  4. Re:wait a minute on Book Review: The Art of Computer Programming. Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithm · · Score: 1

    In Seinfeld's words, "great great book if I may say so. I almost read the whole thing".

  5. Re:Well, POOP! on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    Fuck you, AT&T.

    Maybe I should go pre-paid.

    You'll still be screwed by ATT if you go prepaid with them. T-mobile has one of the best prepaid plan in the U.S. You can get a SIM card and activate it by yourself for around $10. AT&T on the other hand asks a lot of questions and always try to scam you into more expensive plans, and you need to buy a shitty GoPhone with it.

  6. Re:Jurassic Park on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    Newman is a smart man. He can make anything happen!

  7. i wouldn't keep my hope high... on Electronic Arts Purchases BioWare, Pandemic · · Score: 1

    Bioware has lost their soul long before they sold it to the devil. They disappointed hard-core RPG fans when they gave away Neverwinter Nights 2 to Obsidian. They betrayed their loyal RPG fans again when they decided to delay the release of the much anticipated PC-oriented D&D RPG game, Dragon Age. The reason? they want to rush the release of blockbuster action game Mass Effect, which is more console-oriented, so it can hit your big screen LCD TV in this holiday season. This project is so important that they have their hands full and unable to fix the ridiculous bug of Neverwinter Night that plagued users since GeForce 8000 series is out.

  8. do they ever sleep? on Record Meteorite Hits Norway · · Score: 1

    "Farmer Peter Bruvold was out on his farm in Lyngseidet with a camera because his mare Virika was about to foal for the first time."

    The photo was taken at 2:05am although it looked like they can still play a few rounds of golf before sunset.
    I was wondering if the Norwegian (and their horses) ever sleep in summer.

  9. Re:While patenting on Netflix Suing Blockbuster for Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    Blockbuster hasn't done it to me yet...i've just switched to blockbuster from netflix last month. However, their delivery takes 2 days (or more) which sucks comparing to Netflix (usually 1 day). One incentive from bb is they offer 2 coupons each month so i can get the new release easily from the nearest store.
