  1. Re:Go for it on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    If velocity is the change in position over the change in time, and acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time, then it becomes trivial to calculate acceleration from GPS

  2. Re:Cool! on Brooklyn Father And Son Launch Homemade Spacecraft · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    $1000 plus? You paid too much man

  3. Re:Grow up. on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    What is up with all the Facebook hate? It's a tool people use to communicate passively. Not everybody wants to call everyone they know with their every thought. If somebody wants to know, they read their wall.

  4. Re:Confirmation Bias? on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 1

    What about BSD with a MacOS GUI?

  5. Re:Interesting side-effect: on Piezo Crystals Harness Sound To Generate Hydrogen · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wow. The guy above you beat you to the same exact idea one minute ago.

  6. Good idea on A Printer That Uses No Consumables · · Score: 1

    Honestly I love this idea. I could print up a whole PDF at a time, and read it like a book or manual when I need it; all the things that are too straining to read on a monitor for any lengthy period.

  7. Re:Stop with the drugs already on How Norway Fought Staph Infections · · Score: 1

    You're telling me you've never heard that buzzing whine coming from a TV or CRT monitor left on? It drives me nuts and my gf does it all the time.

  8. Re:China? on Anticipated Closure of BitTorrent Sites Spurs Panic Downloads In China · · Score: 1

    Hotline, ServU, and newsboards. Ah nostalgia...

  9. SimCity 2000 on Japan Eyes Solar Station In Space · · Score: 1

    I built one of these but the fusion reactors came out just a few years later and I didn't have worry about frying half of my city.

  10. Re:win-win on Honda Makes Nanotube Breakthrough · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Given a choice between making some profit by selling an unpatented product, and no profit by not selling an unpatented product, the choice is fairly clear.

    Or more likely, losing money from R&D funds not being recouped from insufficient sales. Patents are a good idea by creating an incentive to innovate. It's the abuse of the patent system that's stalling creativity, not the system itself.

  11. Re:Slashdotted.. on ASCIIpOrtal Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    You've not enough minerals.

  12. Re:And then it was proptly deleted on English Wikipedia Reaches 3 Million Articles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed. I like everything. I think what makes Wikipedia most useful is the trivia. It makes it a more useful information compendium than even Google.

  13. Re:Impossible on The Irksome Cellphone Industry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a good thing for them that you're expendable then.

  14. Re:What will the control group be? on Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? · · Score: 1

    Sucrose is half fructose, and most sweeteners of any type are now high-fructose corn syrup... so I don't believe that sucrose vs. fructose thing for a second.

  15. Re:It works? on Why OpenBSD's Release Process Works · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, and hope that girlintraining doesn't have anything else senseless and snarky to say.

  16. Re:How soon we forget on How Microsoft Has Changed Without Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    Windows crashing constantly is yet another myth.

    Wow, have you ever used Windows9X? Or are you 14?

  17. Re:Nice. on Panasonic Begins To Lock Out 3d-Party Camera Batteries · · Score: 2, Informative

    They put the original battery they received with the camera back in and return it. Isn't that what he just said?

  18. Re:The best things in life... on Linux Gaining Strength In Downturn · · Score: 1

    And $0 before its inception. What's your point?

  19. Re:Let's get real on Fujitsu To Show Off "Zero-Watt" PC At CeBIT · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point. Granted, the signal energy may indeed be too low, but all you would need to do is switch on power.

  20. Re:Let's get real on Fujitsu To Show Off "Zero-Watt" PC At CeBIT · · Score: 1

    It can be. The "wake-up" signal that the net, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth gives it could give it enough power to switch it back on.

  21. Re:Jews Are Evil, Land & Water Theives on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up...even as an atheist myself, this puts on a whole new perspective.

  22. Re:So where have you failed the gaming community on Rare Q&A With Rockstar Games Head Sam Houser · · Score: 1

    You've got to be kidding me. When I played GTA 1 when I was a teenager what drew me to it is running people over aimlessly. I don't even think I got the million dollars to get past the first level. The whole fun of the game (and what kept me playing for hours on end) is the depth and silliness of all the stupid shit you can do.

  23. Re:Do you Hate Twitter? The TNAA Wants You. on "Tabletop" Fusion Researcher Committed Scientific Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Holy crap dude, really? What do you do that gives you this much free time?

  24. Re:That's a good point. on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    Once you understand the reality of this situation, the juvenile desperation really shines through.

  25. Re:Python? on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, it's really getting annoying that any time anyone mentions anything good about sqllite, this fyngyrs dude chimes in "Well that's great but dbtxt is better! Those features that sqllite has are CRAP! The fact that is used in many commercial projects means NOTHING! I WROTE DBTEXT IT IS AWESOME!!!! GIVE ME ATTENTION PLEASE!"
