    So it's a vast conspiracy to get mice to do our bidding...?

  2. Re:I'd like to see that in the US on EU Approves Anti-Collision Automobile Radar · · Score: 1

    Only if the cars do the same thing when people drive well under the speed limit.

  3. Re:What 'crisis' in Social Security? on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    Stronger? The troops in Iraq are having to A-Team their trucks with plate steel and other such improvised armour and you call the US stronger?

  4. Re:Encouraging and discouraging on Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math · · Score: 1

    The problem with all of these debates is that we are talking about encouraging or discouraging someone based soley on gender. As has been pointed out, even if most women were bad at math, there are always exceptions. Encourage individuals, not genders, races, religions, whatever.

  5. Re:Variability on Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math · · Score: 1

    Yeah my aunt was a college math proffessor. I (male) on the other hand failed calc II three times.

  6. Re:Hmmm. on Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math · · Score: 1

    Sprinting is based on the amount of fast twitch muscle you have, as opposed to slow twitch. You can train fast twitch to act like slow twitch muscle (ie make a sprinter into a distance runner) but you can't go the other way around. Now from what I have been told, the amount you have of each type is genetic. Why is it unreasonable to beleive that a certian race would have more fast twitch muscle then another? How is that any different then something like skin pigment?

  7. Re:Get over it on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, have you ever seen a good analysis of how many legal positions there are in chess? I don't trust my grasp of combinatorics well enough to fell like I can come up with a good upwards bound, and I would be interested in knowing just how many legal positions there are.

  8. Re:It's just HIV, not HIV virus! on Genetic HIV Resistance Deciphered · · Score: 1

    The ATM I use these days calls it my "Secret number" I guess PIN was too complicated for the proles.

    Good christ man, some of us are trying to solve chess.

  10. Re:Mental power on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    With what? Yeah sure, we can make funny looking shower caps that can detect it, but in order for your idea to work you would have to show that there was some way for the human body to pick it up.

  11. Re:Toddler math on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    I had to read this 3 times before I figured out why it was a joke, and I'm a math minor.

  12. Oh boy! on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hey guys, the experts are stumped and I wanted to see how you could somehow relate it to hello.jpg all while forcing your ill founded and ignorant opinions as fact!

  13. Re:Point your finger in the right direction on Doom Movie Update · · Score: 1

    Gah. Why would the EVER treat Doom as being believable?!? It's a movie! It's supposed to be entertaining, not something I mistake for a news broadcast.

    Is when someone posts that stupid pre made form where they check off the boxes as to why this won't work. I can't wait for that one.

  17. Re:replacement for soviet joke? on In Korea, Email Is Only For Old People · · Score: 1

    You, you're the one responsible for this.

  18. Re:What pays the bills? on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should pick up Bruce's autobiography. It's very amusing and he addresses the question you have.

  19. Re:Well, if not on Can Reverse Engineering Help In Stopping Worms? · · Score: 1

    Well octopi obviously isn't a word since it's ancient greek, not latin.

  20. Well, if not on Can Reverse Engineering Help In Stopping Worms? · · Score: 1

    Maybe it'll at least give us viruses (viri?) that consume less system resources. Release more efficient viruses. That will fix everything.

  21. Re:Paranoia on Amazing Things Your Automobile Can't Do · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do their leaders do everything in their power to reinforce the culture of fear?

  22. Re:Condolances on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why should people censor themselves because you can't deal with what they say? I thought we liked freedom here on /. How silly of me.
