    holy f'ing crap! you make me want to see how they would do in a neutron or proton field, but I don't work in HEP nor nuke anymore. '

  2. Re:The Seven Deadly Sins of Erlang on Programming Erlang · · Score: 1

    your detractors are merely laughing at your complete ignorance of computation and your silly worthless pet project, it's doubtful you could do anything to get them actually mad, though your straw man argument about sorts is vaguely annoying.

  3. Re:Silliness on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 1

    I pay for a connection that is touted to support streaming video, and my bittorrent takes less than 1/20 of that! yes it is criminal and illegal of them, I pay for connectivity and for an advertised performance rate!

  4. Re:Silliness on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 1

    no, it's just criminal. I use p2p for dvd and cd of open source software, and the download rates I get are 20 to 50 kbs. nothing the ISP would even notice. I'm paying for connectivity, not censorship based on on a suspicion I might be pirate. I'm glad I don't have comcast anymore, now I'm paying 1/3 the price for adsl.

  5. Re:his replacement will be so much better on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    it's getting closer to election year, so they have to pretend like they're leaders now

    Seriously, who the hell talks like that anymore? geeks practicing for Talk Like a Pirate Day, of course

    not to worry, the congress can give the dick-in-the-bush a hard time about their nominees, drag things out just to send a message

    despite those issues the transformation has already been done on commercial demonstration scale with commercial scale plants at several places in the world in the works.

    sugar doesn't have to come from grains, that's the stupid way. All plant cellulose is a bunch of sugars hooked end to end.

  12. Re:So? on Breaking a Car's Cipher · · Score: 4, Funny

    a long time ago I had a girlfriend who liked to put her hand in my pocket and had access to my master key for hours. one day she took something from me using the key, but it wasn't my car

  13. Re:ok on Free Tuition for Math, Science, and Engineering? · · Score: 1

    if you'd couple this idea with clamping down on outsourcing and H1 visas that'd do the trick. right now plenty of megacorporations take advantage of the security and safety and market of the U.S. but they aren't paying the bulk of the taxes, the small guy is. time to take the fat cats to school

  14. Re:I want a little piece of it... on Rare Lone Neutron Star Found Nearby · · Score: 1

    well, there is always the LOC-CDTNSD unit of volume, the Library of Congress Crushed Down to Neutron Star Density. I like units that are useful when the astronomical and everyday scale intersect. Like measuring hard intrastellar vacuum in NPGWBCC, Neurons per GW Bush's Cranial Capacity

    a number that purports to tell how well the OS I don't run will perform with applications I will never buy here rendered more meaningless by assuming CPU performance is the dominating component of such a number, just fucking great for a so-called tech site

    complaining already and we haven't even duped this old news yet! you're new here, eh?

    And there's an even better texting system article in the works, for a flat fee a text message can be sent anywhere in the country via flying titanium tubes or eighteen wheeled box shaped transport and delivered to a container on the recipient's property, in rain or snow or hail.

    you're lucky, you had electrons. In my day we had to use hot iron shards. and deflecting those with our bare butts really hurt.

  24. Re:Tron on John Knoll on CGI, Tron And 25 Years of Change · · Score: 4, Insightful

    why remake it, the early 1980s special effects fit into the story very well, nothing really would be gained by more eye candy. Kind of like the silly addition of useless enhanced special effects to Star Wars, did nothing for the movie.

  25. Re:Heroes of Freedom! on Groklaw Explains Microsoft and the GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    possession isn't covered by the GPL, where did you get that idea? Propagation is. all retail linux distros I've ever seen have the source disks included, that's part of the justification for the $30 or more price tag. And providing a link to source is sufficient, hardly a burden. hardly a mess, everything is just fine.
