  1. Re:Better educate the masses on Helping Some Students May Harm High Achievers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, I mean only an idiot would think it makes sense to only help the idiots. Are these the same people trying to figure out why we have a shortage of engineers and innovation nowadays?

  2. That's the oldest? on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Are you sure the oldest computer music isn't just x=peek(-16636), or command+open apple+closed apple + reset?

  3. Vs. the traditional way on Professional Techniques for Video Game Writing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or, you could throw unpaid overtime at the game and set unrealistic deadlines, that seems to work for somE compAnies.

  4. Re:It's like divorce on $50 to Get XP On a New Dell · · Score: 4, Funny

    And just like divorce, the one you switch to is lighter weight, less nag-y, and easier to use. In this case it is older but it also has more experience.

  5. Those are all pretty low on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 2, Informative

    In the valley if you're not making at least $150k per year you will hate money and life. I would not recommend taking even what sounds like a high salary from Google at 112k... in the midwest that's a ton of money, but in the valley, nope. You couldn't live close enough to bike to work for less than 2000 per month unless you like rats. either work for someone that will pay a living wage, or move someplace else. (or have dual income with a spouse... but hey, this is /.)

  6. Re:Irony on Anatomy of a Runaway Project · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like I always say: Winsom, lose some.

  7. Re:Text of Article on Anatomy of a Runaway Project · · Score: 1

    The author wasn't really involved in a FUBAR project unless he was fired for circulating "such an inflammatory memo".

  8. CGI of course on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 1

    Go for the good stuff:

  9. Blueprints are easy to get on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The blueprints for nukes aren't that hard to get; fortunately, the weapons-grade plutonium purchase attempt will raise a few real big flags.

  10. haiku response on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    That can't work that way.
    Cars do not run on water.
    Can't we just ride bikes?

  11. Mission's over? on Groundbreaking Solar Mission Faces Chilly Death · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the mission shouldn't officially be over unless useful data stops coming back, and I would assume a probe even just floating around aimlessly might still broadcast back some kinda data.

  12. Re:Bunches of small drives on What To Do With a Hundred Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Although it may not be worth it power consumption-wise, you could finally tell us all what it's like having a Beowulf cluster of something.

  13. they aren't doing anything on Virgin Media To Spy On & Threaten Downloaders · · Score: 1

    That wire also pays their bills, and they aren't cutting off 6.5 million PAYING customers just because of some stupid illegal downloading.

  14. Re:Not Google. on Is Google Making Us Stupid? · · Score: 1

    True, I googled this question and got that the concern is definitely overblown.

  15. dig down further on Phoenix Digs First Mars Soil Sample To Analyze · · Score: 1

    Those bacteria in greenland were what, 2 miles into the ice? They're gonna need a longer digging arm.

  16. Money talks on Radiohead Changes Tack, Joins iTunes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm sure that when apple drove a dump truck full of money up to radiohead-quarters, all of a sudden selling a few albums here and there at indy record stores started to look kinda dumb.

  17. Re:The dog died. on Linux Cluster Supercomputer Performs Surgery on Dog · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it doesn't count to do computer surgery if the thing dies anyways.

  18. Use arax, raggy! on Move Over AJAX, Make Room for ARAX · · Score: 5, Funny

    ruby ruby roo!

  19. Re:Known cure on Microsoft Study Says Repetitive Strain Injury Costs $600m · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yeah, but embroidery makes you go blind, so take your poison... if my hands quit working, i can voice control the screen and see the output still!

  20. No it doesn't on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 1

    It makes copies of the parts needed to make a copy of itself. That's like saying a screw-making machine is making copies of itself because it also contains screws. If it "made a copy of itself", then out of the output area would appear a machine similarly capable of producing a copy of itself. Those are two totally different things!

  21. Re:.cx on McAfee Picks the Most Dangerous TLDs · · Score: 1, Informative

    Obviously, this study was about quantity of dangerous sites, not quality... we all know that .cx has the single 'highest' quality dangerous site.

  22. Re:Oooh... I can answer this one! on Does Antimatter Fall Up Or Down? · · Score: 1

    you forget, it's *anti* matter, so the answer is NO, it does not fall up or down.

  23. Re:Welcome to our world on Time Warner Cable Tries Metering Internet Use · · Score: 1

    Well, they still have to prove that the traffic you were sending is traffic you wanted to send. They can't charge you for zombie traffic when your machine got infected from other machines on their own network, so I think that may be a loophole many users can exploit to not have to pay full price for a ton of bandwidth ("your network made me send that much traffic, etc")

  24. Amazing! on Hiding Packets in VoIP Chat · · Score: 4, Funny

    I didn't even know we knew what a Stegosaurus sounded like, and these guys hid its messages in VoIP traffic!

  25. New name picked for high def disc format on Toshiba Going After Blu-ray? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hear that the new format will be called High-Definition DVD, or HD-DVD, and it will be major competition for blu-ray. At stores, you'll see them both right next to each other on the shelves, confusing consumers until some point when one of the two formats goes away.... er wait, what?
