  1. Re:This could be a great thing for SG on Nintendo Threatens Suicidegirls Over IP Use · · Score: 1

    .. Meh.

    Though I'm glad you like my rack.

    But .. They all look exactly the friggen same?

    Oooh.. I assume the poses wrought forth from the darker side of life. My being parallels that of dark creatures. But check out my RACK!

  3. That's nothin'. on Bill Gates Gives $20M to CMU for New Building · · Score: 1

    Tom Siebel gave my school (UIUC) THIRTY million for a new building

  4. Cycle. on Stress Costs U.S. $300 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    But this money, that goes into medical bills, out of business products, etc, is all circular. It's pumped back into the economy. The autonomy, stress and other medical expenses, getting drunk after work and all the rest of it, is part of the system. And the system works. At least so far.

  5. Here it comes. on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1

    Biology over ideology. Maybe now they can actually win a war.

  6. Not quite right. on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    I'm actually a Math/CS major at U of I and the schedule they posted isn't really representative of what I've been doing. Namely, there is not nearly that much science.

    In fact, I got into the Math/CS program because I didn't want to take any more Chemistry and Physics. The closest thing you have to take to either of these is a Natural Science requirement which is generally a blow-off course.

    Here's this year's (Most of the course numbers are bumped up by a hundred for next year) Math/CS curriculum:

  7. Re:UIUC on UIUC Unveils the Worlds Most Advanced Building · · Score: 1

    He is not being arrogant when he says American schools are always the ones ranked highest in CS .. it's absolutely true and you can look it up. Regardless of what you may or may not have learned in your first years, I highly doubt that your entire CS education had been as utterly brutal (and, in turn, preparatory) as mine has been here at UIUC.

  8. UIUC indeed. on UIUC Unveils the Worlds Most Advanced Building · · Score: 1

    I actually have the pleasure of having a class at Siebel next semester (my Compilers class) as well as having used it for my video editing needs this semester. -- It's a beautiful building. Balconies, courtyards, art-deco frosted glass tables, windowed offices .. it's gorgeous. Not to mention all of its RFID capabilities, certainly .. it's definitively the nicest building on campus.

  9. Re:Note to fat USians on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    It's tough luck that the post I was responding to was erased.

    Said something to the effect of "That's what you fat burger-eating Americans get."

    And I get modded as troll.
    Life is hard.

    Oh go to hell.
    It's not our fault your country lost the war.

  11. Re:WRONG! on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, and to beat the wall-mounted zappers, they used robotic pods that popped out of the ground and spraypainted the whole wall in two seconds.

  12. Rrr. on LinuxWorld Moving to Boston · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's nothing wrong with Boston.
    And there's 30% less city-juice per square mile.

    The only kind of rockets the US cared about were the kind that would get them past the Russians.

  16. Computer Vision Breakthrough Put Forth By Spammers on Baffling the Spam Bots · · Score: 1

    How bizarre would it be if some spammer, somewhere developped the brilliant algorithm to solve these complex computer vision problems, therefore gaining world-recognition and causing innovation leaps in Computer Science -- all for trying to sell non-existant cruise tickets to some grandma ..

  19. Frame of Reference on Renewed Gravity Research Could Soon Yield Results · · Score: 1

    Now wait a minute .. how can these guys be sure that when their mirrors are distorted, that the laser emitters they're using to measure them are not also distorted .. therefore giving them whacky data?

  24. That's friggen hilarious. on Cornell Implementing Bandwidth Charges · · Score: 1

    My school technically has a 750MB/24hrs limit but I just plugged in an extra two nics and now it's not uncommon for me to do more than 2GB a DAY.

    Holy crap. How can people satisfy all their pr0n and warez needs at Cornell with a mere 2GB per month?
