  1. Re:eliminate extra sugar on Hacking Weight Loss: What I Learned Losing 30 Pounds · · Score: 2

    I've cut down to 12 oz of pop a day (from the 40-50 oz) and it was tough the first week and I've pretty much stuck to it.It's about changing habits and like in the like he did some changes then some more than some more. It's working well so far.

    Most (80-90%) corn grown in the US is field corn for animal feed, not sweet corn

  3. Re:Low gravity (Re:Stupid.) on Giant Lava Tubes Possible On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Fascinating link. I wonder how the Mercury and Gemini G curves look.

    Werner Klemperer, but I know who you meant

  6. Re:In search of... on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    I refer to this as the "Spock breaking character" moment. Not Nimoy breaking, just Spock.

  7. Re:Nexus 6 on Some Early Nexus 6 Units Returned Over Startup Bug · · Score: 1

    The fact that it's a Nexus 6 Android actually makes me want to buy it

  8. Re:not irrational on Ebola Does Not Require an "Ebola Czar," Nor Calling Up the National Guard · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true, caught early enough and given proper hydration, ebola has a much less devastating death rate.

  9. Re:Having a Surgeon General would help on Ebola Does Not Require an "Ebola Czar," Nor Calling Up the National Guard · · Score: 1

    Carmona is a Democrat, just because he worked for Bush 43 doesn't make him partisan.

    From the arguments he made on CSPAN Murthy's not ready at this time.

  10. Re:Hp rack rails on HP Is Planning To Split Into Two Separate Businesses, Sources Say · · Score: 1

    I prefer them to the Dell style rails where you have to drop the servers in to the extended rails vertically (the server remains horizontal).

    Got it? Got it? Oops, CRASH!!

      It hasn't been a problem yet, but every time we set one up, it's really nerve wracking.

  11. Dave Cutler on Ask Slashdot: Have You Experienced Fear Driven Development? · · Score: 1

    I thought Dave Cutler was still at Microsoft..

  12. This is fun .. on Report: Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Studio For $2bn+ · · Score: 2

    I saw this headline last night and my son (Minecraft fan). He said "Wow, so Google is buying Minecraft?"
    "No, not Google, Microsoft"
    "Well, who are they?"

    We've been an Apple/Mac house since before he was born, so I guess I'm going to have to put in terms he'll understand

    "They make Xbox"

  13. Re:Prevailing winds? on Radioactive Wild Boars Still Roaming the Forests of Germany · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Sorry, I flipped the cities around Chernobyl's east of Dresden

  14. Prevailing winds? on Radioactive Wild Boars Still Roaming the Forests of Germany · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the prevailing winds (west to east as far as I know) in Saxony have inhibited the drift of radiation from Chernobyl? Dresden for example is over 700 miles East of Chernobyl.

  15. First Target, now this? on Supervalu Becomes Another Hacking Victim · · Score: 1

    What's going on with picking' on our nice Minnesota retailers? I guess Best Buy is next!

  16. would have liked to have one I'd guess.

  17. Re:And, of course ... on Oracle Buying Micros Systems For $5.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    Our Micros install runs a MS SQL DB so I guess they will be changing that for the next version.

  18. Re:Back to the Future IV on Chinese-Built Cars Are Coming To the US Next Year · · Score: 1

    AC: see subject ^^^^^

  19. Re:My favorite part... on GM Names and Fires Engineers Involved In Faulty Ignition Switch · · Score: 1

    This has been my viewpoint, it (defects/#cars sold) must be staggeringly low. That said, I would guess there must also be a lot of non-reported incidents too. Hopefully, big corporations have statisticians/data mining to look into that sort of thing.

    When I heard I heard the engineer/designer changed the device without changing the part number (part#12253-1, part#12253a, etc), I said to myself that it's very unlikely the non-changing part number was mandated from above. It sounds like someone covering his/her butt.

  20. Re:Animals? on Geophysicists Discover How Rocks Produce Magnetic Pulses · · Score: 1

    It's hard to believe that would be enough pressure.

  21. Re:painted into a corner... on Ask Slashdot: Can Star Wars Episode VII Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    Chekov wasn't added to make some sort of point about All humans working together, the network just wanted someone who looked like Davey Jones

  22. Bad Design? on Some Users Find Swype Keyboard App Makes 4000+ Location Requests Per Day · · Score: 2

    Why doesn't the OS keep track it it's moving of not (all those wonderful sensors) and then have the app ask the OS for the location? If it's sitting on my desk, it shouldn't need to check it's location every 24 seconds.

  23. Kubrick, brilliant film maker that he was, had AC Clarke backing him up. that's why it's realistic.

  25. Re:Bullshit Made Up Language on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    I think you're missing a big point. In Darmok their language doesn't even have a concept for "You" or "are"
