  1. Re:I guess I'm stupid, too. on US Students Struggle With Understanding of the 'Equal' Sign · · Score: 1

    Can i ask, delimiters for what?

    Early on in HS (i've been out of HS for...oh..25yrs) we learned that in a math equation, you use parens to group parts of an equation to, much as in programming, control the order of precedence in evaluation. Looking at that made perfect sense to me. But i also was considered above average in intelligence in my day.

    Or as i recall hearing parents say, that must be the New Math. lol

  2. As for me... on Too Much Multiplayer In Today's Games? · · Score: 1

    40+yo gamer here...

    Multiplayer games have always been the more interesting games for me. That human factor, in my opinion adds
    more unpredictability to a game. The last single player game i played was Prototype.

  3. Re:Can you smell it? on Japan Plans Moon Base Built By Robots For Robots · · Score: 1

    Mmmm...could be, could be.

    So i'll have to get my Space Exploration thrills vicariously...sigh.

    But has it ever been? Give us a moment to actually notice (snicker) and see some progress on the Japanese side and i'd like to think that might kickstart something. Eh, we'll see.

  4. Can you smell it? on Japan Plans Moon Base Built By Robots For Robots · · Score: 1

    That smells like....like.....space race on the wind. Mmmmm....savor the aroma...

    Then again, i wonder if we are up to it. I'd LIKE to think we are.

  5. Re:80m? Quite a hair. on Sony Unveils Flexible OLED Thinner Than a Hair · · Score: 1

    lets not forget the ubiquitous Bread Box

  6. Should the title be... on Stem Cell Patent Halts Hospital's Collection · · Score: 1

    Stem Cell Patent Stems Hospital's Collection

  7. Re:Causality on Ninth Suicide At iPhone Factory · · Score: 1

    Very presumptuous, especially when we all know its the CURSE OF MCINTOSH!!!!

  8. Re:combinations on Duke To Shut Down Usenet Server · · Score: 1

    Agreed. What are those ways?

    Usenet's strength lies in its simplicity, much like Craigslist.

    Though i will admit to having enjoyed the alt.binaries at one point. Just became
    too much hassle.

  9. Re:Decoding on Voyager 2 Speaking In Tongues · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ZIG!!!

  10. Way too late. on Free Software To Save Us From Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Without some sort of major upheaval in the social networking space, this will only
    take off among the extremely tech savy among us (i dont wanna use the G word).
    Its also over complicated for the average Joe.

    Nice idea, way too late. One wonders if this ever would've been a viable option.

    Thats my 2cents...adjusted for inflation...

  11. Senate blasted by NASA for earlier blasting! on Senators Blast NASA For Lacking Vision · · Score: 1

    This just in!

    "NASA's chief clashed with a Senate science subcommittee on Wednesday, saying the senate and the government in general lacked a clear goal for the program's purse strings. A skeptical chief told the senate that it should not just talk about plans, but set out to do something specific. NASA administrator expressed a unified opposition to the senates plans and the initiatives of the a government lacking vision"

  12. Re:Oh, Hubris! on Dune Remake Could Mean 3D Sandworms · · Score: 1

    The look is really the thing. Having read the book, i went to the theatre looking to see the story's visualization. It is a movie after all.

    The Lynch movie did an admirable job for as complex and far reaching a story as Dune is. The SciFi channel's version was more ambitious but less pleasing.

  13. Sigh... on Russia Confirms Failed Missile Launch Caused Norway's Light Show · · Score: 1

    ...and here i was hoping that we'd come across something truly unknown to us. Oh well, back to the dreaming board.

  14. Re:Still? on LHC Reaches Record Energy · · Score: 1

    But it keeps us occupied. I could be spamming my users, or "breaking" a server just for something to do. :)

  15. Re:Doom on LHC Reaches Record Energy · · Score: 1

    HA!

    They have general stores in hell. im going to need my money.

  16. SSSSHHHHH!!!!!! Dont let them know!!!! on Lawmakers Caught Again By File-Sharing Software · · Score: 1

    ...now they'll stop using P2P software and we'll never find anything out.

    So i guess this means that P2P software would be a lot more stealthy so things like this dont happen ;)

  17. Re:Troubleshooting skills. on Stargate Universe · · Score: 1

    ROFL...and i thought i was such a geek while explaining to my wife that there were whole fleets of ships in ST. She'd only seen (and thought) there was the enterprise.

  18. Oh really? on Ballmer: Don't Expect Simpler Licensing Soon · · Score: 1

    >He added that customers donâ(TM)t want simplicity for the sake of it, claiming that the last time Microsoft
    >tried that route, customer ratings of the firm âoeplummetedâ for two years.â

    Hmmm...was that Microsoft Bob or ME?

  19. In R'lyeh... on Where's Waldo (the Submarine)? · · Score: 1

    ...great Waldthulu lies dreaming. Waiting for the stars to align just so.

  20. HELL YEAH! on Sending Astronauts On a One-Way Trip To Mars · · Score: 1

    Well if they'd take my overweight 41yo ass i'd make the trip in a heartbeat. My wife would probably be pretty vocal in trying to get me to stay but space exploration, even a one way ticket to mars would be like a dream come true for me. Yeah i'd be laboring pretty hard (as opposed to my email admin job now) to keep myself (and others) alive but the fact that im doing it on another fricken planet makes it all worth it. Yeah, sign me up. Lets get the conditioning program going.

  24. Radio Hut on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been calling it Radio Hut for the longest time!

    Its not like this rebranding will make the products any better or cheaper. But what do i know.
