    Atlas carries the heavenly spheres, not the world

  2. Re:IE7 really clean? on Patch Tuesday — IE7 Clean · · Score: 1

    I predict a zero-day exploit for IE7 by tomorrow.
    *any* new piece of code has bugs, no matter how good the development team.

  3. Re:Penrose-Hameroff Theory of Consciousness on Sense of Smell Tied To Quantum Physics? · · Score: 1

    Is that the same corner it was around in the 50s?

  4. Re:Well, thats just nullty. on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 2, Informative

    Select "Plain Old Text" instead of "HTML formatted"

    (note that plain text according to slashdot is not plain text at all, but rather html with carriage returns automatically replaced with <br>, so html tags are still interpreted, and you have to use &lt; and &gt; to show angle brackets. Yes this is braindead.)

    It was unsinkable. It's just that sea level happened to rise too fast because of global warming.

    Point 1 directly contradicts your earlier statement: "The Bible is written so that people from all ages could understand it"

    What method do you employ to determine which parts of the bible are to be read literally, and which parts are not? More specifically, why do most moderate Christians like (I presume) yourself interpret Genesis as metaphore, but the miracles performed by Jesus as literal truth?

  8. Re:65 million? on Study Provides Compelling Evidence of Single Impact Extinction Theory · · Score: 1

    It's not so much [$God=true] that people have a problem with. It's [$SpecificGodAsDescribedInSpecificBook=true] that is demonstrably at odds with current scientific understanding.

  9. Re:I dunno what's scarier on MPAA Goes After Home Entertainment Systems · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indeed. It's not crazier than cabdrivers having to pay for putting on the radio.

  10. Re:Related prior art on 256GB Geometrically Encoded Paper Storage Device · · Score: 1

    I suggest you find some venture capitalists to explain this radical new math to, try to build this magical compression algorithm with loads of his cash, and bail out to live on a desert island somewhere.

    Or you could just accept that your math is flawed, you confused number of permutations with data size, and go on with your life.

    You're starting to remind me of that Timecube guy.

  11. Re:I live in EU on So What If Linux Infringes On Microsoft IP? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A lot of Linux distros are not US-based. Why would they remove code?

  12. Re:What caused it to exist? on Behavior May Influence Evolution · · Score: 1

    Actually, Omnians have this wacky notion that the earth is a sphere, and kill people who say otherwise.

    The Great (Holy Horns) Om seems to be pretty much indifferent to the issue.

  13. Re:What's it Like? on Wikipedia Explodes In China · · Score: 2, Informative

    This page seems to be about the 1989 protests, and it contains the tank man picture (the one mysteriously absent from images.google.cn)

    It also seems to be protected because of vandalism...

    I think that's robots.txt, *not* spider.txt

    But do note that "Plain Old Text" actually means "html without the need for

    I have no idea *what* they were thinking either.

  16. Re:And i hate this - on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. Men have to sit down sometimes too. If nothing else, conditioning learned me to always check the position of the seat before sitting down. Why shouldn't women learn the same?

    That's probably illegal, because it could give the house a perceived additional advantage by releasing the ball in a certain way.

    Because it's mostly true?

  25. How about both? on Is 'Safe' Gaming The Best Kind Of Gaming? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I like games that have a sandbox or arcade mode, that just let me ride/shoot/build whatever I want, however I want, whenever I want, but also a career mode that poses more of a challenge.
