  1. Global Warming on Physicists Spot Potential Source of 'Oh-My-God' Particles · · Score: -1

    has observed a broad 'hotspot' in the sky in which such cosmic rays seem to originate

    Cosmic Rays? Or just global warming?

  2. Around Around on Mapping a Monster Volcano · · Score: 1

    The volcano is so big they have to wrap explosions around it twice.

  3. Re:Obvious on The World's Best Living Programmers · · Score: 0

    he's just a lucky business man who hit the lottery with DOS and Windows

    A lucky business man? One of the world's most wealthiest people (if not the richest) got to where he is today because of "luck"? Success in monetary terms as a result of Co-founding Microsoft had nothing to do with luck, regardless of how many lines of code he has or has not written.

  4. What's the problem here? on Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View · · Score: 0

    Technology doesn't ever fail. Never.

  5. Re:Same old discussion on Android Wear Is Here · · Score: 0

    Well there goes everything I wanted to talk about. Thanks for hogging the forum and ruining my Monday useless internet conversation.

  6. Sounds Just like 8 tracks... on Google Acquires Curated Music Service Songza · · Score: 0

    8tracks has human created playlists as well, but I guess that wasn't good enough for google. They wanted playlists created by "music experts". What qualifies someone as a music expert?

  7. Re:No screen saver on Bug In Fire TV Screensaver Tears Through 250 GB Data Cap · · Score: 0

    Another reason I don't use "screen savers", live wallpapers or any of that other "make it look pretty" garbage...OVERHEAD.

    Who needs deskop icons or GUI's these days anyway! CLI all the way!

  8. Re:Consumers are fickle on Disappointed Woz Sells His "Worthless" Galaxy Gear Watch · · Score: 0

    Smarter people don't really care about a watch looking "classy" since that's just a euphemism for an embarrassing show of wealth. We want functionality that will enhance our lives.

    What does dressing nice have to do with intelligence? You're saying if you take pride in the way you dress you aren't a "smart person"? Sounds like you just have a self-image problem... A functional watch that doesn't fill the "fashion accessory" role will never be as popular as a "classy" watch.

  9. Re:One solution on Facebook's Emotion Experiment: Too Far, Or Social Network Norm? · · Score: 0

    and if you have a social network account you don't use any more - delete it!

    No point inflating FB, Twitter et al user numbers for them to profit from.

    FB/Twitter will always be inflated, no matter what, thanks to spam accounts. How else would I have any friends?

    GoPro Camera != Cell Phone

  11. Re:/. Should pay an editor on Google I/O 2014 Begins [updated] · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They meant to ^w the second developers. To read: developer tracking conference. I think your subject should have read: "/. Should use another editor"

  12. Why not iPad Air? on Microsoft Wants You To Trade Your MacBook Air In For a Surface Pro 3 · · Score: 1

    I would consider trading in my iPad Air for a Surface Pro3.
