  1. Re:Center of the earth on World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia? · · Score: 1

    The search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22core+of+mo lten+iron turned up:
    http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1/cu rrent/lectures/first_billion_years/first_billion_y ears.html
    which states:
    The Earth's core is composed of two portions, an inner core of solid iron and an outer core of molten iron.
    Seems that the responses seem to only know the second half of that.

  2. The solution, the general strike. on RIM Rejects More Patent Infringement Allegations · · Score: 1

    May 1, some groups in some countries strike, but then they go back to work the next day. What if enough people got together and even salaried people went on strike. There'd be more to it than that, like having an alternative proposal for government all ready to go, but that's the core of the solution.

  3. Perfectly fair. on Netflix vs. Blockbuster Revisited · · Score: 1

    There's nothing that's perfectly fair. Not even, I think, my favorite example of fair, killing everyone.

  4. Not there for me. on Higher Education Fears Wiretapping Law · · Score: 1

    I double checked a number of articles, and not there. I had 'Simple Design' turned on, and turned it off, no dice. However I did see a 'realated story' on Netflix vs. Blockbuster Revisited, with a plus next to it that shows the content of that story. If they're going to do that, would they please reenable previous story, next story, links under the stories?

  5. Hardlink Shell Extension on Apple Looking at ZFS For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardli nkshellext.html
    Problem solveed, though it is neither a Microsoft-produced nor open source solution.

  6. Tags on Higher Education Fears Wiretapping Law · · Score: 1

    I'm not seeing any tags anywhere. I seem to recall mention of them around the time they also introducing bookmarks. http://slashdot.org/faq/tags.shtml#tags100 says currently tagging is only open to subscribers and some users, but then says your tags are public. Everyone will be able to see them! Apparently I'm no one then.

  7. It's not that, really... on ABC Launches Full Episode Streaming · · Score: 1

    It's just that you made a flippant comment. It would have been the same if you had said "Me Too!" like some...

  8. And request donations. on ABC Launches Full Episode Streaming · · Score: 1

    Funny how the RIAA goes out to prosecute people, but they aren't up on telling people how to donate to their favorite bands or telling bands how to do donation campaigns. Talk about racketeering.

  9. And what, exactly... on Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 · · Score: 0

    is Bill Buckner supposed to mean to me?

  10. The watchmaker theory... on World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia? · · Score: 1

    Similar to my own, except for two things. The Mayan aren't watchmakers so much as watches, and we are all watches, although clocking devices would be a better term.

  11. Center of the earth on World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia? · · Score: 1

    The center of the earth is thought to be a core of solid iron.

  12. Re:Draw a line in the sand. on Google Propping Up Typosquatting Biz? · · Score: 1

    In order for lines to become clearer, they must first be drawn.

  13. Wait a minutle.. on Colbert New Comic-in-Chief · · Score: 1

    You Spanish speaking facki...er ...nistam,you!

  14. Draw a line in the sand. on Google Propping Up Typosquatting Biz? · · Score: 1

    Draw a line in the sand saying this is not who we are, and this is not who we are ever going to be.

  15. Er, Why? on Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 · · Score: 1

    What about this causes Red Sox fans ill-will?

  16. Checking your responses on Explorer Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Er, how do you check your responses. I post on Digg and find the lack of mechanism there daunting at best.

  17. Haven't seen it on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen the first episode of this season of South Park. I have however seen most Stargate episodes, and anime on Cartoon Network on Saturday nights.

  18. Markets on The First Quad SLI Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    That's what really gets me when the Republicans bash the Democrats for alternatives to gasoline, saying that it costs the average person more money. It costs people who buy those sorts of things more money. It is an incomplete substitute for the gas market and will take price pressure off of that market.

  19. Basic concepts not taught in schools. on Google Propping Up Typosquatting Biz? · · Score: 1

    This is a sin of omission, rather than commission. Whether or not you have an issue with the religious terminology, the concept is a useful one to be taught in schools but doesn't for whatever reason, but the idea that it may not be "secular" enough may play into it.

  20. Argh, generalities... on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    When I was a little kid, I most emphatically did NOT like that kind of stuff.

  21. Research on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    That highlights one of the biggest flaws in modern research.

  22. Re:They can... on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    Besides, all of this talk is moot. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii has it as Katakana ui-, after having it in Romaji Wii.

  23. His immediate followers weren't the lunatic fringe on Explorer Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Fishermen and a tax collector? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostle#Recruitment doesn't exactly depict them as the fringe of society. Sure, the tax collector was villified, but it's much like the RIAA. Is the RIAA paart of the lunatic fringe.

    Also he managed to attract crowds that had plenty of other diversions for their time, as prostitution alone was rampant back then. He also managed to either get invited to or gate-crash parties, so at least he knew where they were.

  24. Re:Annoyance as a marketing technique? on Explorer Destroyer · · Score: 1

    The answer I come up with is that it is better for them to form an opinion for or against than to have no opinion at all.

  25. I call your bluff. on Explorer Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Since you're posting Anonymous Coward and thus can't check your comments for responses, I would have ignored it, but somebody marked your post insightful, so for those who lean that way, I'll explain the problem. It's one thing to say you have worked with standards and all they do is slow progress to a snails pace, and another thing to prove it.

    There are some that may say that it's obvious that things are moving at a snail's pace, but then you have to prove that the standards are what's doing it.
