  1. Re:Home School on Algebra As A Gateway Subject · · Score: 1

    I see nothing grumpy ... or unreasonable in what you say. You will succeed. Children were (are) tutored 1-on-1 for 12,000 (?) years in all matters of art before some bright 19-th century bulb thought of putting 30 in front of one teacher at the same time. It's called the factory system and works at all only because the young are amazingly adept.

  2. Re:AMDxps are always ... on Watercooling Made Easy · · Score: 1

    My ASUS_a7v/amd_1.7 gig will crash-to-bios at a CPU temp of 170_F if I don't blast my room AC to 60_F. And THAT'S a MT-box sitting on a floor anti-static mat, with 2-lbs of copper heat-sink and 4-fans. With the room at 60_F the CPU stabilizes at 120_F. It's hell on electricity, but up here in Spokane power comes with the rent (0.01$/kw) ... and screws Bay-Area hot tub lusrs.

  3. Re:Sense of lib_drool needed --- on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    How come no 'free market' non-smoking eaterys? Because kamikazz Camel Straight smokers are MUCH KOOLER PEOPLE than mint-chewing lib_serf drooling non-smokers ... and all the great looking chicks would go to the SMOKERS ONLY places.

  4. Re: This byte-opera soaps on Where's GNU/Linux Usage Headed? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Oh boo-hoo-hooo oh weird ... oh crash boo-hoo-hooo fact is no respectable Lusr gives a crap if WinX crashes every 24 hours - nor should they. Only whiny weenie dweezles got watery eyeballs over a consumer product (WinX) that runs continuously for 24 hours without a refill. Try doing that with a quart of ice-creme or a car, byteboyz ...

  5. What Microsoft gift? It's public works! on Microsoft Sinks Teeth Into New Orleans · · Score: 1

    Since the Feds (CIA, FBi, NSA ...) own Microsoft and the bugs that ride in with them, consider this not a gift to the Big Easy, but a public works project.

  6. Re:In a nutshell... on Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000 and XP SSL Flawed · · Score: 1

    True enough, pad're, I never encrypt anything and I never send anything worth encrypting over the Web. What's my encryption? Cash, a locked motel door and noisy transistor radio. Helps ta know the dame for 20 years too ...

  7. Re:Academic what? on Microsoft Invests in the University of Waterloo · · Score: 1

    Pad're, I'm sure when the Medicis contributed to U. Pisa they financed the "Sermon on the Mount" lectures. I don't think so ... but a 'natural products' course more like it.

  8. Re:Of course? on Company Ownership of Employee Ideas · · Score: 1

    Sorry, pad're , but ideas (ie) "mental states" are not inventions ... in fact they do not objectively exist - that's why we call them mental. 'Course if Texas folks are all neo-Platonists then all bets are off ... that's Plato, not Planno ...

  9. Re: Chip implanted at ... on Feds Open 'Total' Tech Spy System · · Score: 1

    ... birth will solve THAT niggly problem - and it WILL be illegal NOT to have it implanted. When all the outlaws have (implanted)chips, none of the (intrusive) chips will be outlawed.

  10. Re: Isolate the drooling ... on A Private European Internet? · · Score: 1

    ... emotocents, and when the wogs or Russkis come to eat them, just turn on the garbage disposal ...

  11. Re:Yeah, and kiss Chicom AZZ? on A Private European Internet? · · Score: 1

    So we ditch the emotocent Euros ... and then do what? Kiss Chicom azz cause they make cheap sneakers ? Oh, sorry our business-brownshirts do that all ready.

  12. Re:The point is envy. on Men vs. Machines · · Score: 1

    You nailed it pad're. It's a grift. Even tho chess IS a game between two human players (only), the chess_like fraud you describe is just pathetic. As experienced chess players (of all strengths) know, the game is geometrically lawful rather than rule based and a naked computer will ALWAYS lose to a reasonably strong, creative human player. AI_Lusrs foam-at-the-mouth admitting this by queering the machine with a dozen GM strength experts on a particular opponents style.

  13. Re:Don't kill the coders on A Contrarian View of Open Source · · Score: 1

    In the geek defense ... writing 'pure' elegant code is an offence to a mercantile culture, analogous to running double-diamonds on one ski among a camp of cripples. An offence for two (2) reasons: first, each behavior rejects 'the system' as justifier of individual behavior (lawlessness): second and more serious, some merchants do aspire to esthetic creation and some cripples I have seen blasting reckless down double_diamonds (blasphemy). I think we need not like the geek culture to see its true value.

  14. Re:Translation as brainfull and overfitted on Possible Evidence of Martian Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Well yes ... NASA is a brainfull waste of money on overfitted data, but Nick Hoffman said that 30 years ago. Beats building pyramids or digging trenches .... doesn't it ?

  15. Re:Nope, it flows to the equator on Earth's Gravitational Field Is Getting Flatter · · Score: 1

    Yep -- water pressure will equalize and that requires a slightly higher column of (g - w^2*R) water at the equator.
