  1. Re:Still human ... ? on 'Plentiful' Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Found · · Score: 1

    Read the end again. He is being sarcastic..

  2. Re:This is so True on IE7 Compatibility a Developer Nightmare · · Score: 1

    textContent :)

    textContent == innerHTML, renamed by W3C, because they don't like thinks MS came up with before them.

  3. Re:Increased Space Traffic + Debris = First Strike on Russian Rocket Hits Wyoming · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You need the presidential approval for a nucular retaliation strike. He could be unavailable if... for instance he is being reading a book about a girl and her goat.

  4. Re:Britain has no First Amendment on UK Teachers Say Censor The Internet · · Score: 1

    Britain has unlike the US actually _signed_ the Human Rights Convention, and are covered by all the human rights therein, including the freedom of speech.

    So don't try to get holy on an issue where the US is far behind.

  5. Re:They'll keep it tasteful... I hope on Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film · · Score: 0

    But if god is directly involved they wouldn't need the grail to achieve immortality. God could just grant it, or tell them how to make a mark that grants it..

    It's a plot hole, don't try to carpet it over.

  6. Re:Lazy Questions on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Same reason you would disable garbage collection. To keep tight memory-management and keep all optimization options in the hands of the programmer, because so far no compiler beats a good C/C++ programmer (yes, I know the beat bad ones, but you have Java and C# for all the lazy and bad programmers out there).

  7. Re:Do we really need another D infomercial? on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    It's implemented through simulation in newer x64 cpu's so you might as well write it using 64bit yourself and get the extra compiler optimizations and portability.

  8. Re:Underneath sovereign territory on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    Of course. This possibility is already discussed, and Greenland wants to declare independence if they find oil and keep the profits for themselves. Denmark having sponsored Greenland, and kept the country out of deep poverty for a century, wants to keep Greenland as part of the danish common wealth and take a small share of possible the oil profit.

    Besides Greenland makes it possible to do some more interesting foreign politics (see Hans Island).

  9. Re:Kind of funny. on Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, most AIs are just not suitable for stream processors like the Cell. They need a general purpose processor with efficient branching. Xbox 360 has three of those, PS3 has one.

  10. Re:Javascript is nice... the problem is... on Should JavaScript Get More Respect? · · Score: 1

    And the amount of annoying bugs Firefox has.

  11. Re:PsyOps in actions on Chess Grandmaster Kasparov Versus President Putin · · Score: 1

    It was George Bush senior that was CIA director. Junior was some sort of entrepreneur disaster who ran companies into the ground.

  12. Re:Old news and incomplete as well on How Skype Punches Holes in Firewalls · · Score: 1

    Probably, but that's why Skype data is encrypted.

  13. Re:Amiga? on AMD Reveals Plans to Move Beyond the Core Race · · Score: 1

    No MMX was in immediate use. It just isn't nearly as cool, only a 4x speed-up where many of the specialized chips are 10s of or 1000 times faster.

  14. Re:why alphanumeric? on MySpace Users Have Stronger Passwords Than Employees · · Score: 1

    If you use both upper and lower case, you have 52 characters, and adding number still only adds 10 more.

    So it is significantly more important to use mixed case than to use alphanumerical passwords.

  15. Re:the enemy has folks with muslim sounding names? on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 1

    No to murder is to kill someone deliberately and consciously in cold blood. This includes executions, but not self-defense, and probably not most soldiering.

  16. Re:Moo on Complete Mozart Works Now Free · · Score: 1

    A genius yes, but a pop-musical annoying genius. The 17th century Robbie Williams or Britney Spears.

    The reason people still likes Mozart today is not because his music is profound, but because it is evergreen pop, like ABBA and friends

  17. Re:Next step on Texas Lawmaker Wants To Let the Blind Hunt · · Score: 1

    Humans are toolusers, we are not meant to kill using our bare hands, but with whatever we can create and operate with our hands.

  18. Re:Not enough suckers on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 1

    No, it is being changed to match changes in Russian IP laws.

    Russia can't close a legally run company (actually they can and have, but they gained much more from that deal).

  19. Re:What I'd like to see is a comparison on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Try comparing with 50 years ago instead of 500. Then we have not made progress, but taken many step backwards in social equality.

  20. Re:Cost is the issue on Solar Cell Achieves 40% Efficiency · · Score: 1

    So. You are recommending environmentally concerned people to stop breathing?

    Nice

  21. Re:FUD for who? on Why the Novell / MS Deal Is Very Bad · · Score: 1

    Hold on there. Redhat has been nothing but open. In fact, nearly all distros can be traced back to redhat (of course, the floppies => yggdrasil => slackware, which all came before redhat).

    And SuSE and Debian and Gentoo and.. Basically only Red Flag and Mandriva distro's are based on Red Hat.

  22. Re:Open Source? on Open Source Spying · · Score: 1

    Which is what open source means in the intelligence services. It is opposed to secret source where you need to keep your sources and results secret.

  23. Re:Problems with Programming on Bjarne Stroustrup on the Problems With Programming · · Score: 1

    The problem is natural languages are ambiguous. We really don't want ambiguous programming languages.

  24. Re:High school understanding of the eye is wrong on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    No, you can read in moonlight. Full moon provides enough light that you can see as detailed as in daylight, you only lose color and ambient lighting.

  25. Re:What an incredible gaffe on Firefox 2.0 Password Manager Bug Exposes Passwords · · Score: 1

    Konqueror _is_ immune, our password storing system was written by a paranoid security expert.
