  1. Re:Hello... Evolution? on Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "She would like to see it taught, but it is not currently politically feasible to push the issue" would be an even more accurate description.

  2. Re:So Many Questions About This Section on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    What was it that prompted Slashdot to start posting its hate mail?

    I suggested it on a lark. I never expected they would be nuts enough to go through with it.
    Sorry.

    Hopefully McCain will be smarter about my joke suggestion to have Palin as a VP.

    A diet rich in omega-sub-b particles may help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol.

    Of course.
    Those in monogamous relationships get sex on demand and home cooked meals!

    All my married friends tell me that.

  5. Re:Damn on Vegas Star Trek Experience Closing Down · · Score: 1

    It was cheesy, but the sets where well done. I wish they had allowed more time to stroll about and admire them instead of being ushered through. The Andorian girl they had walking about in tight slutty latex was a nice touch, and of course they served alcohol at the end. IIRC one of the drinks was named the 'reactor breach'.

    Sounds like a Critical Mass rally.

  7. Re:My bank sends daily alerts for large transactio on Too Easy For Bank Accounts To Spring a Leak · · Score: 1

    I enter in every check or debit transaction I made that day.

    I feel compelled to chime in with a 'me too'.

    It seems very basic. Keep track of every transaction in detail. There is no other way to know.

    Do you hand a cashier a $20 and shove the change in your pocket without counting it? If so then you have no room to complain if you come up short later.

    Complaining that is takes too long or is too hard is not an answer. It is your money and it is your responsibility. This goes for incoming bills also, don't accept the amount blindly: compare every line item to what is contracted. If you don't already do this then you will likely be suprised at how often a mistake is made (always in favor of the biller).

  8. Re:Why Did the US Partner with Russia? on Shuttle Retirement In 2010 Under Review · · Score: 1

    ...give the Russian rocket scientists something to do

    Russian scientists work for Russia. Always have.
    We (the West/USA) deluded ourselves into thinking we 'won' the cold war and could look into the eyes of Russia and see their soul.
    It turns out the cold war never ended, and any token partnership we had means nothing now.

    There is nothing illegal about growing tomatoes indoors.
    Some people just really like fresh tomatoes.

    I always felt that India had better movies, but maybe I'm just biased.
    Who can resist the talent of giants like Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor.
    Bollywood rules!

  11. Re:Pizza on Nvidia 55nm Parts Are Bad Too · · Score: 1

    I was told of an instance (very old) where impurities in the manufacturing environment resulted in a particular IC working.
    When they overhauled the plant the impurities went away and the chip stopped working. They figured it out after a lot of expensive investigation.

    I can't vouch for the truth of this story, but maybe a little pizza is not a bad thing.

    "I am a pirate and I am ashamed of myself"

    I prefer the Devo version: I'm a big pirate and I like to steal!

    You remember Devo... right?

  13. Re:"Indent" Theft ? on Zero Day Threat · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what "indent theft" is.

    Try looking at some PERL code.

  14. Re:Name? on Wizards of the Coast Declares Gleemax Site a Critical Failure · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe it is a take on the drug name (Gleemonex) from the movie 'Brain Candy'?

    I drove a Chevette. The mileage sucked anyways but at least
    a lead casing would make it more attractive.

    I love it! Faith based communications.
    If it does not work, you are clearly not worthy.
    The bar display does not indicate signal strength, it shows if your aura of cool is sufficient.

    OK. I live in Austin Texas.
    Adjust your expectations accordingly depending on the service where you live.

    ...disappointed in my trial membership.

    You don't need this outage to be disappointed.
    I did the trial membership. It takes about 3-4 business days to receive a disc (if it is not in high demand) and 3-4 business days to be registered as returned. Half of the discs I received were scratched so as to be unplayable (tested on several different players). At that rate (3-4 useful rentals per month) it is not worth the $17 per month.

    Excellent concept, poorly implemented.
