    No wonder I can't quantum tunnel into the Kremlin. My wavefunction keeps collapsing!

    You're in luck! Rad-scorpion corpse smoke glows a pale yellow, which will be easily visible against the blackened sky.

    Note: rad-scorpion corpse smoke has been found to cause cancer in rats. (This may not be a drawback.)

  3. Re:Thoroughly enjoyed it! on "District 9" Best Sci-fi Movie of 09? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to take a moment to clarify the two series we're talking about, and their first publications.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coneheads

    The Coneheads was originally a sketch on Saturday Night Live which originated on the January 15, 1977 episode, and starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar, Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat, and Laraine Newman as daughter Connie.

    You don't put damned fruit on a pizza. Fruit does not belong on a pizza.

    appropriate use of meme; +0.5.

    Personally, I'd like to see such a power-sensing function be more like the 'con' command, i.e. ' You can take him easily', or 'This guy will wipe the walls with you', or 'Do not pursue Lu Bu.'

    You think you've got it bad? I'm addicted to Oxygen Monoxide.

    I can barely go a minute without needing another hit.

    ... dangit. extra right parenthesis.

    formula should be (coconut.weight / (ant.weight * (50 + ant_comfort_factor) )

  9. Re:Obligatory quote on Ant Mega-Colony Covers the World · · Score: 2, Informative

    You get enough (coconut.weight / (ant.weight * )(50 + ant_comfort_factor) ), and I'd imagine yes, ants can carry coconuts.

    The only real issues are where they'd grip it, and how to evenly balance the load.

    Not to mention the three day latency on refreshing the entropy pool.

  12. Re:Stallman says on First Electronic Quantum Processor Created · · Score: 1

    In fact, due to the state superposition, any set of qubits longer then the number of bits in the GPL will necessarily contain the GPL.

    Ditto for the Windows EULA. (what's worse, you can get the Windows EULA superposed over the GPL, and wind up with a completely undistributable state.)

    No, no, you've got it backwards.

    A non-chicken laid a chicken egg (i.e. the egg's genes were those of a chicken), from which hatched a chicken.

    actually, if you look closely at the numbers, you can see how they were formed.

    1 - is a single downward stroke.

    2 - horizontal stroke, connected to another horizontal stroke below it.

    3 - (I'll ASCII art this one.)

    ---- stroke

      --- stroke

    4-9 are a little more esoteric, though.

  20. Re:Translated: New judges in the Pirate Bay case on Judge Reviewing Pirate Bay Trial Bias Is Removed · · Score: 1

    This one doesn't run afoul of Slashdot's non-handling of Unicode.
    Also, it appears to be translated by human instead of Google, so it's the best for readability.

    If I had mod points, I'd mod this one up as the authoritatively Informative post.

    Also, the All-In-One Gestures and FireGestures addons will do this for Firefox.

    Well, the problem you're having is that IPoAC using Passenger Pigeons is deprecated in favor of IPoAC using Homing Pigeons. Every time a PP-type packet comes in, the receiver is required to locate a new PP to carry the ACK packet, and there just aren't enough PPs to carry data in the volume that a high-bandwidth protocol requires.
