  1. Re:I'm invoking Godwin's Law. on When Would You Accept DRM? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, see, that's not how that works.

  2. Re:SDI funds basic research too on Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off · · Score: 1

    Well, Microwave Ovens are a spinoff of RADAR which was invented really to detect planes, not the V1/V2s, but it was military researchs.

  3. Re:Go analog on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 1

    D&D isn't neccessarily just 'hack n slash' for some gold pieces and a Flaming Long Sword of Death +450. Depends on the DM and players.

  4. Re:I would...but one voice gets drowned out on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1
    To quote:
    (referring to it as 9.11 is dumb...there's been 2002 9.11's since we started calling it AD..., in fact, I had a test question "when was 9/11?" answers:

    a)9/11/04

    b)9/11/03

    c)9/11/01

    d)9/7/95

    I told the teacher, technically, a, b and c were correct.)

    I know I'm being a nitpicking a$$hole here, but if that was how the question was worded, exactly, only C would be correct. A date in 2003 or 2004 could not have already passed as indicated by the word 'was'. Sorry.

    Exactly it!

  6. Re:Time... on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was reading on a team's site (I don't remember the name of the team, but it was when the show was in the UK, the team was American and they were rather intelligent guys from New England [I think]) where they explained that the team doesn't know what it's building until the announcement, but the expert does and he suggests to the producers what pieces will need to be in the yard. And all bits and pieces (nails, screws, etc.) are freebies.

  7. Re:More like DNS, less like fingerprints on Building a Comprehensive Ballistics Database? · · Score: 1

    Well, all the info from the 'eye-witness' (read: lying scumbag) had been refuted. He didn't see the weapon, the vehicle, the murder or the killer.
