  1. Re:Mac users should be ashamed... on Stanford Mouse Video Archive · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    So you're too stupid to use a one button mouse? Hah, I'm more l33t than you. And I also can clap with one hand

  2. Re:May not be that great on Google's Search Appliance · · Score: 2

    Hmm. If Apple does use Google, why do they and Google get different results?

  3. Re:View from a Biochemist on Genetically Modified Mouthwashing Bacteria · · Score: 2

    Almost everything is poisonous to us - it's the all in the dosis. Anyway, recent studies show that small amounts of alcohol are actually good for your health - small as in much more than these bacteria can produce.

  4. Re:forward history on Humans Will Sail To The Stars · · Score: 2

    There was a short story called "Danichhin" by Uwe Post (in German) in issue 3/2001 of the German computer magazin c't. It's available online for Euro 0.50 (though if I understand correctly, the first download of one of the Heise print articles is free) here. You may also find it at some (university) libraries - don't bother if you can't read German though and don't be surprised if even that doesn't help you with some dialogue ;-)

  5. Re:Nope on Keeping Alien Samples Safe For Study · · Score: 2

    Well, actually it is/was a TV Show and it showed us that they didn't just die.

  6. Re:Well as far as life on mars goes, on Keeping Alien Samples Safe For Study · · Score: 3, Funny
    Do we really know now if life is on mars or not? no air or water on the surface, what about under the surface?? When they drill on mars, or can get a probe to actually land on mars, we will find out.

    No Comment ;-)

  7. Re:uh ? on Cringely: OS X on Intel · · Score: 3, Insightful
    My audio application programmer doesn't have to know shit about pre 1990 ISA soundblaster compat i ble card. That's the task either of creative labs, either of my OS provider.

    "Uh?" indeed. He was talking about the OS developers. On the PC they have to worry about things like pre 1990 ISA (not quite) soundblaster compatible cards.

  8. Re:Sigh, Diana could never figure it out... on Robot Mine Smasher · · Score: 2
    Well, they may be, but the tactics used are not. The fact that cluster bombs often don't explode on impact is known, still the American military gives shit about "Collateral Damage", and drops them near civilian targets anyway - when their targetting works and they don't hit civilian targets directly.

    I reapeat: even if the US Armed Forces (joint) claim they use mines only so that they can be removed easily, they A) still don't care about civilians when using other weapons (and since they claim they do - there goes my confidence in the mines claim) and B) still shouldn't block the international treaty based on it, especially when they still sell those mines to others - don't tell me they say they don't.

  9. Re:Sigh, Diana could never figure it out... on Robot Mine Smasher · · Score: 2

    Still unexploded cluster bombs are equivalent to land mines in hazard to civilians and the way they are disposed of. Thus they are very much on topic (clearing mines with or without robots) and counter the argument "the US Armed Forces places its mines humanely and should be allowed to do so in the future, so fuck the International ban on APMs".

  10. Re:Sigh, Diana could never figure it out... on Robot Mine Smasher · · Score: 2

    So what about unexploded cluster bombs, Army poster boy?

  11. Re:i proclaim... on Slashback: Playstation, CueCat, Games · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because a joke (if you find it funny or not) about a CueCat is ontopic when one of the topics is CueCat, but a post about a real embedded webserver is not ontopic, when there is no webserver mentioned.

  12. So much for... on The Cold War's Legacy of Mutation · · Score: 3, Interesting
  13. Re:What about the Settlers? on HIstory of RTS Games · · Score: 2

    "Serf City" was the American Title of the original "The Settlers"/"Die Siedler".

    May well be - but with that name? Bokanovsky. A Russian Jew? It's a plot to destroy the Arian race!

  15. Re:Abortion ethics? on Lab Develops Artificial Womb · · Score: 2
    Oh, I'd prefere if the "ethical" people thought about the ethics of forcing children to be born, just to either live with the mother who didn't want them or with (hopefully) loving adoptive parents, yet feeling displaced.

    Let alone killing people who are "unethical".

  16. What about the Settlers? on HIstory of RTS Games · · Score: 2

    It (and it's sequels) fulfill the "harvest, build, destroy" definition.

  17. Re:Black Hawk Down on Collateral Damage · · Score: 2

    No, he is implying that Blackhawk Down was based on how Americans (esp. the military) want to see the facts. At least that's what it sounds like to me - but then I'm not American, and we know that Americans want to see things the way they would like them to be, so that's probably why you read his post that way.

  18. If I find... on Dumb Things With Bioinformatics · · Score: 2, Redundant

    a my name written in one sequence, can I patent the gene it's in? It has after all my name on it ;-)

  19. Re:OK then, Intelligent Design on Still More Evidence for Evolution · · Score: 2
    Next time you check a dictionary, look up "atom". No, wait, let me do it for you.

    a) A part or particle considered to be an irreducible constituent of a specified system.
    b) The irreducible, indestructible material unit postulated by ancient atomism.

    Oh, look, atoms once were irreducible. Guess they must still be.

    One moderator who gave an "interesting" rating. The post started at +2.

    Actually, they'd use something like the Apple Pro Mouse - incredibly sturdy and offers non confusing one button operation.

  23. Re:Question: on Benjamin Herrenschmidt On PPC/Linux, Apple and OSS · · Score: 2

    Well, I was the previous poster, and I never implied that the quote backed up that not all Macs can run OS X, instead i said to ignore OS X for a while and focus on the fact that PPC Linux also runs on non Macs (on which OS X probably never will, so it can't be better on them). Got that?

  24. Re:everyone knows... on Leonard Kleinrock On The Origins of Packet Switching · · Score: 2

    But it's not about being stupid. Tough luck America, you should have known better.

  25. Re:Blending on Is Evolution Over In Humans? · · Score: 2

    Time to remind people again that "fittest" in this context does not mean "physically healthy or strong" but "adapted". So if somebody fits in well, he is "the fittest".
