  1. I want. on New Way of Observing Light May Boost Info Content · · Score: 0

    I want technology based on this stuff yesterday. Also, get SETI looking for these types of signals.

  2. Re:I wonder what their email addresses are... on FTC Shuts Down Pop-Up Extortion Firm · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I've been doing that for webmaster@ftc.gov

  3. Re:Deleted or Burned? on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    Computer neglect! Poor computers, being neglected by their owner.

  4. Ridiculous on Are MS, W3C Barking Up Wrong Prior Art Tree? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the way you pronounce it, but the way I pronounce it, it does.

  5. Re:Bad Game features on Bad Game Designer, No Twinkie? · · Score: 1

    The show .Hack//Sign came first, both in terms of production and in terms of the series history. Then came the video games and .Hack//Liminality. The video games also have reenactments of scenes in .Hack//Sign. After the video games comes .Hack//Dusk. As for the equipment, who sells their best armor when they're broke? The towns just need to be a little bit bigger to include the areas of towns shown in the show.

  6. Re:Save some for party on Christmas Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    Are your middle and last names evil?

  7. Bad Game features on Bad Game Designer, No Twinkie? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the .hack games the book that gives info on monsters is inaccessable when you get to said monsters. You have to exit the game environment to access the virtual e-mail, which isn't necessary in the show, you can't access your party's inventory or ask them what their stocks are, so you can restock them, and they often have equipment for sale that is better than the equipment they have on. Not to mention, the towns in the game are a faint shadow of the ones in the show.

  8. Re:I'm busy tonight on Elegant Universe Airs Tonight on PBS · · Score: 1

    But in this case it's PBS, so it should be OK.

  9. Re:Aren't obesity and traffic self-limiting? on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 1

    No, don't kill them, tinker with their genes and send them to reeducation camps.

  10. Re:scarcity on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 1

    No, the problem is the world's attunation to scarcity. Abundance is never a problem.

  11. If you can't afford it... on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 1

    If you can't afford it, you wait until it becomes bad enough to have to go to the emergency room.

  12. Why jumps are connected to FPS. on DOOM III to be capped at 60 fps · · Score: 1

    The physics are calculated on the client and use the framerate as the timer. So, higher framerate messes with the time for the jump. I think that connecting the two is a bad idea.

  13. ...makes PDF's out of common applications on PDF Writers? · · Score: 1

  15. Re:I Lost my Data Using *BSD on Top 10 Ways To Lose Your Data · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure it was some really nice data.

  16. Zelda spellings on Nintendo Translator On Miyamoto, Mr. Resetti · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Then they discover Link is actually supposed to be localized as Rink and then what?

  17. Re:Like the X-Men movie on Jocks v. Nerds: Detecting Gene-Dopers · · Score: 1

    or like Mutant-X

  18. The Pope has this disease. on Sonic the Brain Chemical · · Score: 1

    Good news for the pope

  19. But of course... on Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    When you're the size of an atom, just about anything is the size of a planet. Matter of scale, really...

  20. Feature proposal on Earthstation5 Responds to Malware Claims · · Score: 1

    When several reqests for a file comes in, a source sends it to someone with more bandwidth who then gives it out to the requesters. This has the added benefit of source cloaking.

  21. Re:*twitch* on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obvious conclusion: The sun is trying to kill us. The sun is hiding weapons of mass destruction. We must destroy the sun!

  22. Re:Where's the story. on Is Google's Future: Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    NLP is an AI problem, isn't it?

  23. Also. on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think one paragraph is enough to make it a derived work.

  24. Unless... on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless, of course, the code was in existance prior to inclusion in Sys V or other versions of UNIX, then the owner would be someone else entirely.

  25. Re:User Interface Design? on User Interface Design for Programmers · · Score: 1

    It was a Joke!
