    thanks for linking to the article. now i will read it and consider the points your angry anonymous comment instead of just blowing it off as a stupid angry internet comment.

  7. Re:Holy mixed metaphors Batman! on Repurposing Anti-Spam Tools For Detecting Mutations In HIV · · Score: 1

    yes! The Bayesian filter (if I recall popularized by paul graham) is amazing for spam. And did not originate there... Bayesian tools have been here a long long time

  8. Re:Engineers? on Facebook Prepping For Massive Hiring Spree · · Score: 1

    A stretch? At my school (BYU) , the only difference is I get to take a couple CS electives instead of EE electives. We very much count as engineers.

  9. Re:Quantum First Post! on Quantum Entanglement of Macroscopic Diamonds · · Score: 1

    until we observe it, and cause your beloved post's wavefunction to collapse, and alas, you fail again.

  15. Re:For non US-filtered search results on Judge Orders Hundreds of Websites Delisted From Search Engines, Social Networks · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm almost in complete agreement. But child porn is a strong counterexample in my mind. Some content should be very illegal to distribute or possess. And extremely illegal to produce.

  16. Re:Won't sell. on Next Apple iPhone To Have a 4 Inch Display? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    except... if the next one is 4", then that would make the "current iScreen" 4", so they'll be happy. Don't you know how Apple works?

    Normal Person: "Horray! Now I don't need to buy more antivirus!"

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." That depends- is the right not to self incriminate one of these endowed by our Creator? Assuming of course you agree with the writers of this document.

    your loss

  25. Re:Nope. on Nintendo Releases The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword · · Score: 1

    I agree that the motion control is not my favorite way of playing video games. But is Nintendo catering to *gamers*? No, of course not they are looking for the "anyone and everyone can play!" mentality with their products- and in my opinion are succeeding. And I suggest you try this zelda with your hated motion-control. It might surprise you.
