  1. Re:Linux Linux... on Criticizing Sun's Java Desktop System · · Score: 1

    i looked at that for about 1 second before i realized it was "badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom...."

    I feel very dirty all of a sudden.

  2. Re:Entanglement on First Bank Transfer via Quantum Cryptography · · Score: 1

    Wrong. When you have an EPR pair, you need to transfer CLASSICAL data (the ket that came from the first qbit) in order to make use of the quantum state of the other half of the pair. The classical data you transmit is still limited by th speed of light.

    Sorry, this is something that would be covered in first two weeks of any introductory course on quantum mechanics or quantum information theory.

  3. Re:IBM won't let it go that easily... on BayStar Cashes Out of SCO Stock · · Score: 1

    Kjella! As on of your huge fans, I'm going to have to scold you here. You could have also added the fact that Microsoft's "army of lawyers" is NOTHING compared to IBM's Cravath. The original poster fails to note the disparate outcomes in US vs IBM and US vs Microsoft. CSM doesn't make mistakes. Period. -b

  4. Re:Sometimes a little education is worse than none on The Subtle Tyranny Of Spreadsheets · · Score: 2

    I always loved the term "measures of central tendency" since most people won't know what you're talking about, and those who do will know you're bullshiting but won't call you on it since you didn't insult their intelligence.

  5. Re:On a more serious note, this extension is GREAT on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what scares me more: The fact that I understood that joke or the fact that I found it absolutely hilarious.

    Hi. Its called the American Heartland. GG, no re thx.

    You've obviously never been fat. 4'10 and 320 in my teens...i'm now 5'9, 160 at 21. And trust me....being 5'9 160 is rather important when you're both a nerd and gay. As if having the stigma of being a nerd wasn't enough....being a fat nerd is even worse, but being a fat gay nerd just sucks. They can repair the damage to my kidneys -- they can't repair the damage to my soul.

  24. Glossing Over.... on Microchip Could Replace Pills · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ugh. The article is incredibly terse and glosses right over internal trauma. Sure, if all is peachy-perfect, but what happens when you're in an accident and your little chip gets smashed in the process, instantly releasing the entire contained dosages into your bloodstream. Simply fabulous. You'd think people would have learned from silicon, and even from the occasional problems with the in-your-arm-time-release-birth-control products. Is anyone really willing to make these tradeoffs? [Sure, go ahead, argue that this could be useful for non-trivial drugs for which massive dosages wouldn't matter.....if there is a drug you /should/ be taking every day, there should also be a lifestyle change that should reflect that....]

    disclaimer: both my parents are pharmacists. i read too much of their continuing ed crud.
