  1. Re:If that is true on How Water Forms in Interstellar Space at 10K · · Score: 1

    You, ah, DO realize that God told us all of this, far before we could understand it, right? The parent was responding to someone saying that the creation story is literally true and not a simplified story for primitive people.

    And no, I didn't realize that god wrote Genesis. Was he a Sumerian folklorist?
  2. Re:Sure looks that way on How Water Forms in Interstellar Space at 10K · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the Earth doesn't have sufficient gravity to hold free hydrogen But the accretion disk around the primordial sun had sufficient gravity and density, didn't it?
  3. Re:Dear MADD, on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    The big problem with a key locker would be that you would have no way of making people turn over their keys because the bartender has no way to know who actually has keys to turn over.

  4. Re:But Exchange is supposed to be better! on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 1

    Failure is a subjective thing. Maybe what we consider failure at the highest levels of government they consider a successful destruction of years of incriminating evidence.

  5. Re:These days? on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 1

    But these past eight years can not be adequately be explained by incompetence. Stupefying levels of both incompetence and malice working hand in hand, that's the only way to make any sense of it.

  6. Re:W3C on NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS · · Score: 1

    What I mean is that HTML parsers are supposed to ignore any additional attributes that they don't understand so the slash at the end of the tag would be safely ignored by any properly written HTML parser.

  7. Re:This, my friends, is... on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 1

    Sometimes it is, e.g. malpractice.

    There is nothing brilliant about this, I'm not sure where you could have gotten that impression since pretty much every post has noted how transparent their lies are.

  9. Re:W3C on NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS · · Score: 1

    The XHTML syntax was chosen with backwards compatibility in mind, so while XHTML syntax is not strictly speaking correct HTML it is still valid HTML.

    They do actually leave out the space, so it is wrong by any standard.

  11. Re:A science fiction reference on Ultra-Dense Galaxies In the Early Universe · · Score: 1

    Right, these dense galaxies are only 1/20th the size of the Milky Way, and that talking about volume I believe so actual differences in travel time will be less then an order of magnitude. Not going to make much of a difference when it comes to interstellar travel.

  12. Re:Dear Windows Users... on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you exchange property (say money) for other property (say software, or rights to that software) and both parties are willing participants, it's not usually called stealing. True, for instance in the case of my cable company it's usually called highway robbery.
  13. Re:I've just got to ask... on Hard Evidence of Voting Machine Addition Errors · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Adding to a counter isn't that simple - what if it fails, how do you recover? What if the recovery fails? At the very least all you need to do is pop up an error message and notify the voter that their vote hasn't been recorded. There is no real excuse for vote errors that fail silently. And they should be incredibly rare also. The fact that errors showed up in a vote with 300 ballots is shameful.
  14. Re:If you get arrested and/or get put on trial... on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    What relevance does the UK police caution have to US law?

  15. Re:US jury system does it again on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    Menstrual blood is distinct from normal blood, if he said the blood was from her period that is something the lab should be able to verify.

  16. Re:Would you buy a Metallica online album...? on Metallica May Follow In Footsteps of Radiohead, NIN · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't be a douche man.

  17. Re:Would you buy a Metallica online album...? on Metallica May Follow In Footsteps of Radiohead, NIN · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And Justice For All was popular and yet he said it didn't suck, therefore no he didn't just make the "anything popular sucks" argument. Nice try though.

  18. Re:I don't remember macs in the enterprise on Macs Gaining a Bigger Role In Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Damn, I knew someone would beat me to that joke! Well done sir.

  19. Re:Who are these "Senators" anyway? on Senate Proposal To Clarify 'State Secrets' Doctrine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After all our Dear Leader has told numerous times, the state secrets is just.. a state secret.
    I mean even the president can't divulge state secrets* because they are a state secret. * Except for in extreme circumstances, such as needing to discredit an ambassador who exposes the lies behind your justification for war. Or when needed to gain political advantage during an election.
  20. Re:Errors? on Predicting Human Errors From Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    Yeah it would be a bad thing in my book. My comment in no way was meant to endorse the idea!

  21. Re:Errors? on Predicting Human Errors From Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    I don't know, that's not how my mind works. I can concentrate just fine when I have too. YMMV.

  22. Re:Errors? on Predicting Human Errors From Brain Activity · · Score: 3, Informative

    The device actually predicts when you are not concentrating on your work, and that is what people would be told if they ever were to use such a thing in production. I think the notice that you are losing concentration would probably be enough to get you concentrating again on your work. Especially if the workers were penalized for time spent not concentrating.

  23. Re:Seems obvious to me on Predicting Human Errors From Brain Activity · · Score: 2, Informative

    It sounds to me that the key finding is that they can detect when a person is distracted by monitoring their brain waves. A much more interesting finding than that distracted people make errors.

    The OS X kernel is written in Obj-C? Are you sure about that?
