  1. Re:It's absolutely ridiculous on Flight Data Recorders, Decades Out of Date · · Score: 1

    Good point, but... where I'm sitting at, yours, is a foreign country....

  2. Re:! hyperdrive on Hyperdrive Propulsion Could Be Tested At the LHC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whenever my brother wants to go really fast, he calls it "I'lldrive"

  3. Re:I got the facts ... on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Quoi?

  4. Re:Not to mention security, bandwidth, etc. on Opera Unite is a Hail Mary · · Score: 1

    Your post does not reflect your sig, padawan.

  5. Re:Solution looking for a problem. on Cone of Silence 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Well, seems technically difficult in any case.

  6. Re:Hypocritic Oath? on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    But harming even an agressor would be contrary to preserving life. "Patient" is not a legal term just as "victim" is not a medical one.

  7. Re:Hypocritic Oath? on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    That may be so, but in legislating open sale of firearms, you are de facto providing easy access to the people likely to misuse them.

  8. Re:Hypocritic Oath? on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The interesting thing with the "self-defence" debate in the US is that the same rights/means which alledgedly give possibility to "self-defend" oneself are THE SAME rights/means given to the potential aggressors to "attack."

    To me seems like a lose/lose situation.

  9. Re:Hypocritic Oath? on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    Any person can have whatever opinions they want on the right to self-defense.
    The Doctor (function, not private person) would violate the hyppocratic oath in prescribing a harming device.

    And yes, they are two different things.

  10. Re:Same over here on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 2, Funny

    You lucky bastard!
    When I were young, I were happy if I didn't have ice in the well in the morning, and that were on the hottest day of the year.

  11. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Me personally, I use regexp's in ed, sed, Perl &c for batch handling large number of files. I find it handy to keep the same(ish) syntax. But that's just what I do.

  12. Re:I got one of these on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 1

    My favourite is when

    http://www.foo.com/host/in/index.html
    actually points to
    http://www.foo.com.host.in/index.html

    Got to have the eyes peeled to detect those...

  13. Re:You wonder? on Citizens Spy On Big Brother · · Score: 1

    Your missing reference

  14. Re:And here we go again on Anti-Evolution "Academic Freedom" Bill Passed In Louisiana · · Score: 1


    Electricity is not a theory, but a concept. For the other two, yes. As soon as we have the ambition to describe the world with a model (mathematical or otherwise) based on observation we must at least have the humility of calling it "our best guess" i.e. a theory.

  15. Re:And here we go again on Anti-Evolution "Academic Freedom" Bill Passed In Louisiana · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Kind of sad when you got to take kids OUT of public education to avoid nutcases. In my world, you got nutcase ideas (like religion) you should pay extra to have them taught at school.

    Again, evolution must be taught as a theory, just as global warming, just as relativity.

  16. Re:Seriously, WTF? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    I think post was referring to politics being bad, rather than nuclear?

  17. Re:The sad thing... on Private Donor Saves Fermilab · · Score: 1


    Good maybe not.
    Better probably.

  18. Re:Stating the obvious problem on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 1

    I've had to take child protection courses for my work with the Boy Scouts. Yeah, no-one knows what those snivveling little terrorists will get up to next.
    I never go without my flak jacket myself.
  19. Re:Bad Childish Design on A New Concept in Supercomputers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Überparent never said it would be at the same time...

  20. Re:Actually on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 1



    That would be "pair of dice" or "pair of die".

    Grammar, however, is sometimes random.

  21. Re:Obligatory on CERN Scientists Looking for the Force · · Score: 3, Funny

    All my word documents end with ":wq"

    Comments are funnier over on the democrats article. I'm voting for them.
