  1. Re:Lawyers on A Twisty Maze Of Sewerbot Links, All Different · · Score: 1

    EBOLA? No thanks...

  2. Re:WINE worse than GTK? on Go Stand By the Stairs, So I Can Protect You · · Score: 1

    Often, you can throw a programmer out of Windows
    Or push him down the stairs, if you prefer.

  3. Re:Of course, you know that's TARDIS on It's Not a Police Box, It's a Tardis · · Score: 1

    Sorry. I misinterpreted what you said earlier as implying that AND was an acronym.

  4. Re:Of course, you know that's TARDIS on It's Not a Police Box, It's a Tardis · · Score: 1

    Okay, then. What does AND stand for?

  5. Re:Hmm on Robotic Surgery · · Score: 1

    No, you misunderstood it. The robot assists with three-dimensional surgery. Before that, they only had robots operate on Flatlanders.

  6. Re:3d displays cannot work on 3D LCD Display · · Score: 1

    Of course it'll work. All you need to do is this. Just stop the light for however long you need to to make the object appear at the proper depth.

  7. It has 64k of memory on Houston, We Have a Software Problem · · Score: 3, Funny

    But I thought 64k should be enough for anybody...

  8. Re:Baikal! on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    Yep, Fanta's coming back, apparently. I first noticed it about half a year ago, when there was Fanta in the school vending machine. I uttered the nearest verbal equivalent of "WTF? w00t!" and promptly bought a few dozen, just in case it was a fluke. It seems it wasn't, and they're now available in boxes of n^2*6 cans at grocery stores.

  9. Re:BULLSHIT on Predicting The End Of Digital Copying · · Score: 1

    (Score:1, Redundant) One of the most apt moderations I've seen in quite a while.

  10. Re:If the RIAA wins.... on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    Peru seems like a good choice.

  11. Re:No magnets? What about costs? on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: 1

    And if you want to be really picky, the "shell" is just drawn for ease of perception at the 90% boundary. The orbital itself is closer to a blur mostly (90%) within the shell. Or are you talking about the various orbital groups that electrons can occupy at different energy levels as "shells"? If it's something you're interested in, there are many good websites dedicated to orbital vizualization.

  12. Re:No magnets? What about costs? on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: 1
    Molecules are not really relevant to gold. Some elements and compounds form molecules, and some only form crystals. Your statement is correct; however, "gold atoms" is in fact more accurate in this case.

    I won't bother going into the details of orbits vs. orbitals, but let it suffice to say that electrons don't orbit.

  13. Re:From the article... on Meet the Spammers · · Score: 1

    But the email said he could make millions of dollars by spamming! What a ripoff!

  14. Re:It's a pitty.. on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 3, Funny

    We could just encompass all the spellings by calling it f***ball. Of course, that would probably tend to be misinterpreted...

  15. Re:Slashdotted on Google Art Creator · · Score: 1

    Hehe. That "dude named Nathan" would be me. The way I did it was I made a small image in The GIMP, zoomed in a lot, then typed in the right letter pair for the pixel and copied the line to make it the right height. Wish I'd been able to do something a bit more automatic, but I haven't mastered enough in Linux yet to manage it.

  21. Re:Another reason not to trust the media on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits? · · Score: 1
    And how much background research have you done? Compare this with the Highest G Forces listed on this page under the Steel Coaster category.

    So, do some research before you call someone a moron for not doing any research.

  22. And therefore as a strangelet give it welcome. on Do Strangelets Pass Through Earth? · · Score: 1

    You left out the ", Horatio," bit. Everyone does, though. I'd say it's one of the most misquoted lines of Shakespeare, next to "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio...". Strange how Horatio gets left out of all the quotes, isn't it?

  23. Re:Maddening it is... on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    And when you do something illegal it vibrates. Um, is that "something illegal" like making an invalid selection on a menu or "something illegal" like running a red light?

  24. Re:Do you know anything about this case? on Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd · · Score: 1

    Well, in that case, shouldn't Blizzard sue themselves? After all, it was them who wrote the program that sent the packets that enabled the reverse-engineering in the first place.

  25. Re:No distractions on Finding the Programming Zone? · · Score: 1

    That is SO true. I once wrote an elaborate program to calculate annuity tables, even though I knew the teacher wouldn't give me extra credit. She had me run it on her computer to demonstrate it to the class.
