  1. Re:Null = Void on Non-Compete Clauses Thrown Out In California · · Score: -1

    null != void

    void returns nothing, null is usually just defined as zero

  2. missing tag on New Map of Carved Up Arctic · · Score: -1

    milkshakes, straw allocation

  3. Re:we'll never find any signals on SETI@Home Adds New Search Method · · Score: -1

    you assume too much. one could counter that argument by supposing they might use chains of repeaters satellites and we should be looking for those intermediaries instead of a point to point transmission

  4. i 've read this on JavaScript: The Good Parts · · Score: -1

    helped me learn JS in like a week or three, got this and one of the big fat books as a refresher.

  5. Re:Wireless headsets work on Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks · · Score: -1

    well, which would you rather have dangling near your junk?

  6. it has to come from him on How To Encourage a Young Teen To Learn Programming? · · Score: -1

    no amount of pushing him into it will make him a good programmer. in fact, don't kids usually hate to do what their parents do for a living? you might just want to wait until he develops an interest in it himself (in my case that took until freshmen year at college). otherwise, i suppose you rish souring him to the idea

  7. it was good on Batman Discussion · · Score: -1

    Seems to follow hollywood's classic "Heros journey" storyline... mostly similar to return of the jedi or the last crusade

    there is one part at the end where there was clearly an error in props/makeup... i think people who saw it know what i'm talking about

  8. jut so we're keeping score on Injections To Replace Heart Surgery? · · Score: -1

    if your a mouse you dont have to worry about:

    1) heart disease of all sorts
    2) cancer of many kinds
    3) losing your hair and going bald

    how long till these things are moved into the human column?

    they aclu has a pretty good track record, give it time

  10. no wii? on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: -1

    the crystal chronicles game for wii is pretty fun

    oh, and for a "final" fantasy, this thing sure has drug on for a while

  11. excellent on Photonic Switching to Boost Internet Speeds · · Score: -1

    my 30ms ping time is quake 3 was just too high!

  12. hopefully on Trio of Super-Earths Discovered · · Score: 1, Funny

    when we get there, there aren't any nuked out cities

  13. nobody liked this yea on LucasArts Layoffs Spark Many Rumors, Including KOTOR 3 · · Score: 0

    the first time it came out, when it was called SWG.

  14. I wonder on Nintendo Suffers $21M Patent Infringement Award · · Score: -1

    was this case decided by a patent judge appointed not by the president? is it still valid?

  17. Re:RMS Proposes Legalization of Animal/Corpse Sex? on Earth May Once Have Had Multiple Moons · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    racecar spelled backwards is racecar

  18. What would you want if positions were reversed? on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: -1

    If you died and nobody understood why, wouldn't you want someone to find out why? the last records of his life are probably on there, something his family should have access to.

    but you don't need to crack anything, if you mount it from windows with the ext2/3 drivers or another linux machine you can use either use your own root account to chmod 777 * -rf on it (to look at it with you're regular user), or windows will just give you unabridged access without changing any permissions

  19. personally on For CS Majors, How Important Is the "Where?" · · Score: -1

    I think cs majors from liberal arts schools are better (if you did the work to get a BS). We.. err i mean THEY tend to be more well rounded and aware of what their doing.

  20. Re:they better do naruto next on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: -1, Troll

    fat fucking chance

    let me clarify it for you:

    geeks and nerds like GiTS

    dorks and spazzes like naruto, same with bleach

    it's not even on the same level of "cool"

  21. This happened on digg on US Military Explored Hiring Bloggers As Propagandists · · Score: -1

    If I remember right, this happened on digg last summer. Some "public relations" officer at the marine corps kept submitting stories and havening them digg'd up to the front page. Usually the comments were full of pro military bullshit you wouldn't expected from the digg crowd.

  22. Am I missing something? on Computers May Thwart 2010 Census · · Score: -1

    Didn't IBM do the census in 1890? Doesn't it stand to reason their still up to the task?

  23. Re:Haskell on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: -1

    C++ has stronger typing than C, but it still isn't strict.

  24. Re:Maybe I read that wrong on New Book Cuts Through Violent Video Game Myths · · Score: -1

    welcome to science, take a seat.

  25. Haskell on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: -1

    Haskell would be easier coming from Java as it's strict typing, if you like C/C++ better than Java I think people will find the flexibility of lisp more familiar.

    Prolog is good, but after functional languages such as Haskell/ML/Clean because you'll already have an introduction to pattern matching
