  1. Welcome, our SETI overlords on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    In the spirit of this one liner that I frequently hear here:"I, for one, welcome our SETI overlords"

  2. How is this any different from IF? on The Novel as Software · · Score: 1

    How is this any different from Interactive Fiction. Its form being epistolary (letter formed novel, like Dracula) doesn't matter - this whole idea is till basically interactive fiction...or am I missing something here?

  3. Rabit x Human = ? on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo · · Score: 1

    Jar Jar Binks! Help!!

  4. Something special about the last image? on Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners! · · Score: 1

    The last image with the binary code design. Its a whopping 806KB. Is something embedded in it?

  5. What about bacteria? on Humans Use 83 Percent of Earth's Surface · · Score: 1

    I would think Bacteria would win humans many times over in this "who is covering more surface eh?" competition.

  6. What was wrong with J# for Java users? on C# for Java Developers · · Score: 3, Informative

    If anyone wants to port Java application to .Net platform, wouldn't it make more sense to use J#? With .Net's language insensitive nature, C# vs J# should not matter, and so J# would naturally make more sense to someone wanting to attempt to port a Java application into the .Net platform.

  7. Behold.... on Satellite Back From The Dead · · Score: 1

    This is VGER!

  8. Recommending stlport. on Downsides to the C++ STL? · · Score: 1

    Apart from a bit of time you need to invest in learning how to properly use STL, I don't think there are any downsides. There are many ways you can write inefficient programs, using direct assembly language...it all depends on how good you implement your solutions. STL is a powerful tool that should help you, if you learn to use it well.
    While we are on the subject of STL, I'd like to recommend "stlport" (www.stlport.com). It is a somewhat more efficient implementation of the STL and works with most compilers (I have used it successfully with MS-VC++ 6 and Borland C++ compilers).

  9. Re:Imagine... on McAfee Patents ASP Business Model · · Score: 1

    I think this whole patent business is getting weirder. I think if I present it with the formal rigmarole, I can patent caching technology that utilizes the process of memoization by using for() and while() loops in a special construct such as thus...

    Imagine authors patenting their storylines. Movies like 'Castaway' would have caused a ruckus because it has elements of Robinson's Crusoe in it.

    Who are the dolts who are put in place to decide on what is patentable or not?
