  1. Virgin coconut oil contains kinetin on Effects of Parkinson's-Disease Mutation Reversed In Cells · · Score: 2, Informative

    See this site for some of the benefits of coconut oil: (Parkinson's is mentioned)

    > My wailing offspring will laugh at your inability to cram the popular programming paradigm du jour into your overcrowded brain.
    > Or did you believe your capacity to learn things is limitless? Think of it, there are only so many neurons there...

    Ah, but they have not accounted for my ability to forget!...

    > Don't pity me though. Instead, can I have your UID once you accept your 'gift' in all its fulness?
    I'm sorry, I take that back.

  4. Correction... on Aging Is a Disease; Treat It Like One · · Score: 1

    Curse, not gift.

    Don't pity me though. Instead, can I have your UID once you accept your 'gift' in all its fulness?

  5. Re:What is this stuff? on New Treatment From Australia For All Cancers · · Score: 1

    In the off chance, someone misses the sarcasm...

  6. Re:That's so sad. on Aging Is a Disease; Treat It Like One · · Score: 1

    We're obligated to treat them as symbiotes, as we were them ourselves. And, as we (hopefully) move into a more 'parasitical' stage of symbiosis (called "getting old"), we hope these formerly parasitical symbiotes treat us as we treated them.

  7. Re:Giving Notice on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    So an "excellent employee" gave you a perfectly valid notice period, and you call him a douchebag for rejecting an additional request you made... well, take a good close look at yourself.

    He's probably much better off where he is now

  8. Re:Some of the harassment is deserved... on Biggest Headache For Game Developers: Abusive Fans · · Score: 1

    His points are mostly still valid ( but not his language). The only issue he has is conflating management and developers (to be fair, there is some overlap between upper level develops and management)

  9. Re:Misleading Article on Google Argues Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    Try Exetel Australia: static IP, servers welcome, addons include: reasonable excess traffic fees, VOIP DIDs, SMS API, bidirectional Fax/Email gateway, hosting and more...

    I also remember them being profit-limited (perhaps by charter?), but I am not sure of that last bit.

  10. Re:What's most surprising about this story. on Dentist Who Used Copyright To Silence Her Patients Drops Out of Sight · · Score: 0

    > The poster you replied to is entriely correct in saying "Most patients".

    As is the poster you replied to, who did not contradict this.

  11. Re: Oracle claims the defendants are distrib new v on Oracle Sues Companies It Says Provide Solaris OS Support In Illegal Manner · · Score: 1

    Well yes, the point is that Oracle is charging an AMC for the equivalent of the customer losing their install CDs. Nothing illegal, but stuff to be aware of.

    Also nothing like the iOS comparison you made

  12. Re:Oracle claims the defendants are distrib new ve on Oracle Sues Companies It Says Provide Solaris OS Support In Illegal Manner · · Score: 1

    No, this is simply about oracle charging an AMC because the customer did the equivalent of losing the installation CDs

    So you agree with him 99% !

    But at least two other moderators don't agree with me.. :D

  16. Re:Makes sense on HTTP 2.0 Will Be a Binary Protocol · · Score: 1

    Didn't work -- its still a bad joke. ;-)

  17. Caution - implementation difficulties ahead on HTTP 2.0 Will Be a Binary Protocol · · Score: 1

    But it was just following SMTP's lead...

    Remember one of the reasons (I'm sure there were others) SMTP won over X.400 was developers could telnet to port 25 and do their thing...

    Until the day a new 'Protocol-aware telnet 2.0' translates user-entered commands to binary protocols on-the-fly, a binary HTTP 2.0 is a bad idea.

  18. Re:Linus management technique works on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 1

    "Or you can give up being an offended prima donna "

    Er, no. It is the abuser who is already offended (or so you'd expect)

    So perhaps your comment would be better directed at abusers?

  19. Re:Declared underweight? on Container Ship Breaks In Two, Sinks · · Score: 1

    And thousands of containers on the seabed...

    And tens of people out of work... But not the decisionmakers

    And several lives put at risk...

    Of course, no course corrections needed. Full steam ahea...

    Pangaea is the original unified supercontinent. Animation of its breakup is here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pangea_animation_03.gif

    Gondwana is one of the units formed as a product of the Pangaea breakup.

    This study claims heightened accuracy of the Gondwana breakup

    Hmm... is the main author of the study Australian by any chance?

  22. Sigh on Ask Slashdot: Does LED Backlight PWM Drive You Crazy? · · Score: 1

    How arrogant! The range of experiences posted by non- AC users here should have convinced you of the silliness of your post by now. Next time, be less sure of yourself.

  23. Re:It is a MakerBot after all on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 2

    Because us curious minds want to know.

  24. Re:Misses the point on Android Fragmentation Isn't Hurting Its Adoption · · Score: 1

    I second that... upgraded my iPad 1 recently to whatever version of iOS that iTunes recommended. Now, Internet Browsing has now slowed to a crawl with the new browser (same websites, same numbers of open windows/tabs), and the browser crashes more often.

  25. Re:Better idea: on Why Engineering Freshmen Should Take Humanities Courses · · Score: 1

    Or that a skilled designer used common, non-unique internal design features for his creations that are related... Like Ikea furniture

    Talking about design features, consider the same relative size of the sun and moon (the ring of fire during an eclipse). Crazy coincidence, planetary evolutionary or design feature?
