  1. Re:Luggage? on United and Orbitz Sue 22-Year-Old Programmer For Compiling Public Info · · Score: 1

    Pay UPS to ship it, perhaps?

  2. Mentally, though I feel worse. on Being Colder May Be Good For Your Health · · Score: 1

    When it's colder, I'm more upset, more irritated and that puts and keeps me in a poor state of mind. A little more paranoid, a little more apprehensive, a little more concerned about being able to stay warm.

    In winter times, this is important, because it brings one (me) closer to depression and depression is a big demotivator.

    While being colder may be physically better for you, mentally, it can be more of a problem that it is a benefit.

    Just my personal 2 cents on the matter adjusted for inflation.

  3. "Your eyes oscillate"?? on Human Eye's Oscillation Rate Determines Smooth Frame Rate · · Score: 1

    What about our eyes is oscillating?

  4. Welcome to the nanny state. on BT, Sky, and Virgin Enforce UK Porn Blocks By Hijacking Browsers · · Score: 1

    Cover the UK with cameras and now forbid what you are allowed to watch in the privacy of your own home.

    Fuck Cameron. Seriously. This is insulting.

  5. All on "it's" own? on An Automated Cat Litter Box With DRM · · Score: 1

    All on it is own?

    I really wish that posts get automatically grammar checked. People who communicate with adults need to learn third grade English.

  6. An interesting point is on Argentine Court Rules Orangutan Is a "Non-Human Person" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That an orangutan will not try to eat you. Chimps can and will.

    If these creatures get legal self identity, then are they also legally required to obey our laws?

    Over here? Where is it where your banks work so well?

    So much of America is in a legacy mode. And the false "we are #1" blind patriotism means that we're simply gonna stay there. Others leapfrog and innovate while 1/2 the country praises Jesus and corporate largess while denying scientific realities due to dogmatic and ignorant reasoning. Sometimes, it pays to be smaller and hungrier as opposed to being large and entrenched in old fashioned infrastructure.

    Thanks for oversharing.

    About the letter t? Keep it to yourself. No one wants to know.

    Seriously.

  11. Re:The beaks won on How Birds Lost Their Teeth · · Score: 1

    Take a look at a goose's mouth. There are serrations in the mouth. I'm not sure if they are directly on bone or what the substance is which holds them.

    But yeah. Less habitat for bacterial to hide out, lay down calcareous concretions and live within while they continue to secrete more acids.

  12. Re:Simplest is best on Ask Slashdot: Best Software For Image Organization? · · Score: 2

    Even though the new Mac OS systems are pretty ugly UI wise, you can add tags to each file. This might be what you want.

    If not, you can have a program that simply creates a hierarchy of each of your files within a folder and gives a unique ID to each file and folder within your top level.

    Make a checksum on each file and apply that to the record for each file.

    You can then find the file or folder again if you move it from one folder to another.

    You can then create tags and apply them to the record for each file.

    Also, since you have added checksums for each file, you can rebuild your library if you mistakenly move, delete or undelete a file since running a checksum on each file will create the same checksum. This will allow you to scan all the file records and map any lost record to the proper lost file. Also, as a set of backups, you can simply export this list of file references, checksums and tags.

    If you have a bunch of tags, then you can search through all folders for all like tags.

    So, you can use the Mac OS and add tags too your files, or you can put something like this together and use on other OSes that don't allow you to add tags to your individual files.

  13. Jesus. on 3D Printer Owner's Network Puts Together Buyer's Guide · · Score: 0

    Those guys really need an editor to spell check their article. It's simply painful English with missing words, misspelled words.

    They take the time to make a great looking page and don't bother to proof their English. WTF?

  14. Soo, since one comet doesn't match our water. on Rosetta Results: Comets "Did Not Bring Water To Earth" · · Score: 1

    This automagically means that all comets are out of the picture?

    This seems very short sighted.

    We need a sample of comets in the vicinity that likely existed in the time of our Earth's formation.

    When everything you say or do is recorded by the authorities, do you really want to be part of that world?

  17. B. Experiments and Results

    "Is it possible to justify the great pains we took in our implementation? No. With these considerations in mind, we ran four novel experiments: (1) we measured Web server and DNS latency on our decommissioned Macintosh SEs; "

    Now that's hilarious.

  18. This certainly looks like woven double helix on Researchers Design DNA With New Shapes and Structures · · Score: 1

    I think the title is misleading.

    It sure looks like they are using the double helix style of DNA and then weaving that into shapes or wound ribbons.

    Am I missing something here?

  19. Riiight. on Chinese CEO Says "Free" Is the Right Price For Mobile Software · · Score: 1

    I can't see how his logic works.

  20. Well, back in my grandfather's day on Are the World's Religions Ready For ET? · · Score: 1

    Back in the 1940s, the Catholic church said that it was impossible that there were any other advanced species on other planets, because "we are god's children and the bible says nothing about him creating any others".

    Now, the pope says the opposite, that "if there are any other advanced life forms, then they must also be god's children".

    A complete and 100% reversal of "infallible" doctrine.

    The religions will make up excuses. They are good at it.
