  1. Re:60 nm features? on Breakthrough May Revolutionize Microchip Patterning · · Score: -1

    Looks like ( lambda/4 ) wave behavior -- one node & one open boundary. Thinner the film, finer the resolution. Maybe ...?

  2. Three grinning fools, and .... on Self-Introspecting Robot Learns to Walk · · Score: -1

    "... a new four-legged robot can automatically synthesize a predictive model of its own topology". Even got a picture of the 3 grinning fools who programmed the automaton . And then captioned that pic with the above quote. Nuff said.

  3. We know nothing about how the human line actually on Ape-Human Split Moved Back By Millions Of Years · · Score: -1

    ... started?? Well, that's a quote. And it will still be true when the "common ancestor" gets pushed back yet ANOTHER 5-10M yrs. And then ... imagine, ape & "human" lemur ancestors. And then .... since the REAL difference is likely only a couple_dozen crucial base_pairs and a few borrowed timing-proteins it's gonna be a long, funny trip.

  4. Re:How long on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: -1

    You are a dangerous fool -- now, what is your real name, address and telephone number? What's that? Makes you feel uncomfortable ?? Yep, my feelings exactly -- so I would protect privacy not only for you, but for all. Understand now ?

  5. Re:of course on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: -1

    Yep. 'Course after you destroy the manufacturing blue_collar economy lot's of sociological bullsh*t is required.

  6. Re:Truly stupid attitude toward shop classes. on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 0, Insightful

    What's that ? Shop classes --> blue collar work ?? If you mean the best craftsmen are well into "formal operations" , then of-course. Otherwise, I cannot imagine better preparation ( K-12 ) for a budding physicist or engineer than well_equiped woodworking, machine and electrical shops. The concrete forms of measurement, planning, testing, geometry, trig and combinatorics all get worked through. Easy to integrate with parallel CAD tasks. Both allowing immediate, concrete feedback. Teaching otherwise does NOT reflect how human understanding grows itself into formal systems.

  7. Re:the supercomputers advantage... on 10 Years After Big Blue Beat Garry Kasparov · · Score: -1

    Yep, BBlew didn't beat anybody. At anything. An openings database ( guess who built that!) and a team of 12_consulting human GMs beat Kasparov ... with a little combinatoric help from ICs. WTF.

  8. 1850s style paper battery on A Non-Toxic, Paper Battery / Supercapacitor · · Score: -1

    I believe some batteries were made like this in the 1850s. Hemp-paper + rotton-apple-squeeze. The carbon came from cigar smoke - how can you wrap slimy paper around a silver dime without smoking cigars ?

  9. Re:Heretic! on The Heretical Freeman Dyson · · Score: 0

    Yep: Fundamental errors in prediction reflect fundamental errors in scientific understanding. But to the agenda_driven GW folks such errors are not just impossible, but irrelevant. They WILL have elitist power over commons' behavior damn-the-science.

  10. Re:Tinfoil on Discouraging Students from Taking Math · · Score: -1

    You would be speaking facts-of-the-matter. In the "west", emoto-centric simpering has replaced the rational core. And while you may choose guilty parties at leasure, better choose a well-paced leasure. For others have not made our mistake, and they will eat us.

  11. Re:Finally... on Algorithm Seamlessly Patches Holes In Images · · Score: -1

    Yep: Or every holy image contans sub_images of our fav P. Hilton. Fill-er'-up.

  12. foreigners have no USA rights on House Approves Warrantless Wiretapping Extension · · Score: -1

    Wiretap the muzzi bas*ards ? Sure ... non-citizens, foreigners posses NO USA constitutional rights ... no social_contract rights whatsoever. They may own a privilige vis' treaty agreements or passport regulations.

  13. Re:bullsh*t on Automatix 'Actively Dangerous' to Ubuntu · · Score: -1

    Pure UBUNTUized bullsh*t, jackson ... there is no 'restricted driver manager' on my Dapper install.

  14. RedHat crapped out before ... on Red Hat to Enter the Desktop Market · · Score: -1

    Gents: Let's **REM** RedHat crapped out before, with RH_8 & $60/yr service contract. In 2003(?). Good release and good automagic support. 'Bout six months later they VOIDED the original contract, replacing it with a $200/yr model. I refused, and after lots of hoohaa got back half my money. Small beans? Sure it was, but who wants to get fooled twice ?

  15. Re:specifics? on Broadcasters Want Cash For Media Shared At Home · · Score: -1

    Hummm ... let's figure it this way ... if a wealthy person( top 1% worth) considers 'X' a NEED, then it's a NEED for all. So let's make a list of all 'Xs' owned by ( say ) 95% of that top 1%. Then -- tax that top 1% sufficiently so all may have 5/10 of those 'Xs'. Or suchlike. Makes ya smile, don't it to know how much that would hurt ... hehe ...

  16. Re:Big Changes, huh? on Small Electric Car May Usher In Big Changes · · Score: -1

    yep ... better welcome our Yugo-sjorn overloards.

  17. Re:Welcome to 1776 on Merely Cloaking Data May Be Incriminating? · · Score: -1

    Fascist USA ? ... you don't know the half! Fechin' bif'teks gave up their culture and ALL their powers of self_protection. Simpering after OxBridge faggotry and a smarmy guilt-ridden angst. That's why we threw you out, limeys. Two_hundred years is a long time to take-the-clue. And if you're not careful, when the muzzis come marching north , or the Slavs west -- and come marching again they will -- we'll let them EAT you. nss *****

  18. Re:Damn stumbling Linux on Microsoft Claims a Billion Windows Installs by End of 2008 · · Score: -1

    So true, a desktop calamity. And that M$-one-billion also measures Linux failure to exhibit frisky, adaptive and "enterprising" behavior.

  19. Re: skills not thrills ... on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: -1

    Excepting a vanishingly small number of byteboyz, beneficial computer skills reside in specific applications. Quantum chemistry, book-keeping ... you name it. These behaviors produce value. OTOH OS "skills" are a cost, not a benefit and are to be avoided the same ways and for the same reasons a plumber avoids copper_foundary work. Now byteboyz, what is it you don't understand??

  20. Re:not with ).87% desktop penetration on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: -1

    Linux is 'moving right along' ... with 0.87% desktop penetration. That my friend is not-even a statistical fluctuation. You figure it out from there.

  21. Re:Better drivers and more of them on Linux Kernel To Have Stable Userspace Drive · · Score: -1

    What? Excluding libertoon fantasy, people ' au natural' own their own snot .,.. and damned litle else. RED IN TOOTH AND CLAW I believe is the technical term. Now society comes along ... Vis the social contract people exchange (certain) personal powers(freedoms) for security and property rights ... which property rights do NOT exist otherwise beyond a sword-length. Libertoons -- say it until it doesn't hurt any more: property rights are social fictions, first_fruits of any gov'mnts gunbarrel. nss ****

  22. Re:numerosity and solutions within bounds on Checkers Solved, Unbeatable Database Created · · Score: -1

    Years ago, the UA chess proggie stopped trying to make moves of Rubenstein_like clarity and started f*cking-around in the opening. Weak-master level obscurity. I had liked the UA chess program as one of 'principle'. With the new one I LOST-LOST-DREW-WON ... and canned it. nss ******

  23. Re:Where's the provision for any federal police sq on FBI Remotely Installs Spyware to Trace Bomb Threat · · Score: -1

    So .... 30,000 feet, lock-N'-load. OOOps. Yes, facts make a difference you libertoon fool, and your "natural rights" end with the snot dripping from your nose. All else are social_contract rights and simply recall ( the set of ) local, cultural behaviors. nss *****

    Noise -- it's what's for dinner at every tech forum. Journalist == noise filter. Till they got owned, and most have. What's left ?
