  1. No. on The Correlation Between Arts and Crafts and a Nobel Prize · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No, it doesn't mean that at all.

    I'm not surprised that higher level scientists and engineers are generally more well-rounded than people who are only scientists and engineers by trade. When I look around my peer group, I see a pretty clear correlation between being better at their field, and being more well-rounded in general. Specialization and focus has its place, but in my industry (tech) the people who are "moving the ball" (vs. the break/fix positions) are also more well-rounded, not less, and that isn't limited to tech-specific things at all.

    I think the real myth is that scientists and engineers don't appreciate/value/"get" art. The stereotype of the autistic super-scientist just doesn't hold up to real life for me at all, on average at least. Do you like music? Is it for the mathematical purity of the composition, or do you like the way it makes you feel? Congrats, if you picked the latter, you're into the arts.

  2. Re:Didn't bother to RTFA, huh? (was Re:FreeDOS?) on Slashback: Ascent, Patents, Transferability · · Score: 1

    629$ canadian is $457.954 USD right now.

  3. Re:Not only are the included cartridges half full. on HP Must Defend Half-Empty "Economy" Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    It says one is 19 ml, one is 38 ml. Are you saying the cartridge is the same size, and one is half full?

  4. Re:What about... on Do Strangelets Pass Through Earth? · · Score: 4, Funny

    As she was smiling down at the bottom row of people, I glanced up at the top row, to see the woman who charmed me with her strange eyes.

  5. Re:Magnetic fans... on PC Fan of the Future? · · Score: 1

    He said magnets in the PC. I've never seen one wear out either. The internal speaker's got a relatively big magnet, too. And I've never had one of those go out in a pc, either. So there!

  6. HDTV is worth on To HDTV or Not to HDTV? · · Score: 1

    is worth it, only if you are upgrading tvs. if you arent in the market, dont bother.

  7. Re:Now we can show the world! on Slashdot Announcements/T-Shirt Contest Ends · · Score: 1

    Open Source T-Shirts would allow you to *see* the design, or modify it, but you'd still probably have to pay cost of media (t-shirt). And of course, any modifications you released would have to be released back to the public.
