  1. Re:like anything else.. on Math and Science Popular With Students Until They Realize They're Hard · · Score: 1

    Starting with what set of axioms :)

    1. Math is a subject known by humankind.
    2. Some subjects are more difficult than others.
    3. ???

    Good luck!

  2. lol wut? on Iris Scans Are the New School IDs · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't want to be blocked out a building because of a scratched lens or a system outage, though.

    Yeah, use badge readers instead. Those never have system outages.

    Wouldn't it be difficult to even have a nose to cut off, if you didn't have a face?

    Care to offer some evidence for that assertion?

    Of course not! He was talking about math, not science!
    I guess technically he needs to provide a proof.

  5. Re:what? on City-Sized Ice Shelf Breaks Free Of Antarctica · · Score: 1

    The land that's under the water is not considered land, when taken in the context of the "land/sea" categorization of Earth's surface. Nice try though.

  6. Re:Weekly/Monthly Salary on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 2

    Do you not understand the concept of spending all the money you have, because you don't think ahead? Not understanding that some people think this way, despite the concept being repeated again and again, is almost as stupid as the mentality itself. Please accept that some people have trouble with this.

  7. Re: Weekly/Monthly Salary on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 1

    All else being equal, the shorter the time period between checks, the better. Because money in-hand is better than money promised, since you can always make more money on money that you actually have.

    The problem is, all else is NOT equal.

    Damn you, keyboard ruined and such.

  9. Re:I don't understand on 'Corkscrew' Light Could Turbocharge Internet · · Score: 1

    Every child of the 80's knows that "turbo" just means "better." Move along...

  14. Strange, if you type in "I am"... on Latest Target In War On Drugs: Google Autocomplete · · Score: 5, Funny

    It auto-completes with "gullible"...

  15. Sorry... on The Plight of Star Wars Droids · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but is there a point to this article?

  16. Ads masquerading as news on Apple Details US Requests For Customer Data · · Score: 1

    As if we don't know what Apple is, they have to explain that it's "the iPad maker." You'd think that for this particular type of news, "the iPhone maker" would be more appropriate, albeit still unnecessary. Why would they do that? Oh wait, "iPad" is a link to their own iPad reviews. Fuck you, cnet!

  17. Re:Easy Explanation on Dotcom Alleges Megaupload Raid Was Part of Deal To Film The Hobbit · · Score: 1

    It seems to me he's just trolling, and that he will be dwarfed by the prosecution.

  18. Re:Brute force? on Banker Offers $1M To Solve Beal Conjecture · · Score: 3, Funny

    I dunno. Do you have access to infinite compute cycles?

  19. Re:"bringing down" the house on Footage Reveals Drone Aircraft Nearly Downed Passenger Plane in 2004 · · Score: 2

    not an automatic "bring down" though.

    It's wouldn't necessarily not bring it down either. Seagulls can bring down an airliner (only survivable if you have a pilot good enough to bring it down safely in the Hudson). You can always cite cases of people falling out of airplanes without parachutes and surviving, or an F-15 landing with one wing sheared off with one wing sheared off, but for the sake of safety you might want to avoid those things.

    Ugh.
    1. Canada Geese, not seagulls
    2. Both engines were hit, otherwise the aircraft would have still been flyable

  20. Relieved on Jeremy Hammond of LulzSec Pleads Guilty To Stratfor Attack · · Score: 2

    I briefly conflated "Jeremy" and "Hammond" to mean two of the Top Gear presenters, and I almost had a heart attack. I really need to stop watching that show...

    ... Don't be glib about this stuff, Dad. It's a legitimate show and they beat you to the punch.

    You also can do something like read while you're on the train, which you can't in the car.

    Some of my fellow drivers would beg to differ...
