  1. Re:Show me the money! on Eidola - Programming Without Representation · · Score: 2

    Dude, read the FAQ on their site. Eidola is an experiment right now, not a working model. Even they admit it may not pan out how they've planned it.

    If you have to ask all these questions, then forget about it. It's not what you're looking for.

  2. Re:Hmmm on Despair Suing 7,000,000 Email Users Over :-( · · Score: 2

    When I called it "beautiful" I was not being sarcastic.

    Thanks for the clarification. And for what it's worth, I'm a tad pissed off, as well.

  3. Re:What's in a name?? on Some Demote Pluto To Non-Planet · · Score: 1

    When does an island become a continent?

    It doesn't.

    When does a town become a city?

    With approval of the central government (according to the Chinese).

    When does winter become spring?

    On the vernal equinox.

    Hope this all helped... ;)

  4. Pr0n® on Despair Suing 7,000,000 Email Users Over :-( · · Score: 1

    It's also important for everyone to know that Pr0n® is now a registered trademark of the Pr0n® corporation, so any use of it not authorized by Pron&reg or it's subsidiary companies (Smut®, Hot Buns®, etc) will be persecuted to the fullest extent.

    That's right, I said persecuted buddy! Screw the legal crap.

  6. Re: E = mc^2 and the bomb on E=MC · · Score: 1

    You seem to imply the myth that E = mc^2 was necessary or useful in the design of the atom bomb.

    Whether that's true or not is irrelevant, since I don't think he was making such a point. His implication was towards the handling of the subject matter (making of the atom bomb) in part of this book. There is certainly more history than science to be found in it.

  7. Re:credits -- that's not quite right on 'Rendezvous With Rama' - The Movie · · Score: 2

    Nope.

    Fincher did do The Game, however he had nothing to do with Alien. He worked on Alien 3, as noted above. It would have been difficult for him to contribute to the original film, considering he was 17 when it was released (1979).

    Still not convinced? Check here: http://www.davidfincher.net

  12. Stop Making Sense on Open Media, Take Two: The Sensemakers · · Score: 2

    The geeks have not discovered a new problem. How to find, handle, absorb, and use information is an eternal problem. Just because so much of it is now readily and easily available from your computer chair or recliner doesn't make it more difficult to manage, only much more important to do so.

    However, this doesn't mean we have to go and start making up new words to fit the activity. Sensemaking...

  14. For Crying Out Loud! on Electronic Circuit Mimics Brain Activity · · Score: 2

    How many times must we read about this kind of thing? We already know where it leads to: 1. Electronic circuit built to mimic human brain. 2. Circuit is put into super powerful Computer. 3. Computer reaches self-awareness and self-actualization. 4. Humans forced into servitude to the Computer. When will they ever learn?!?!

  16. Yep, received the postal letter too on ICANN At-Large Elections Process · · Score: 3

    Nice to see that some of the functionality built into the process is at least beginning to run. I don't feel the At-Large elections will provide a huge voice for those of us on the sidelines looking in, but some is better than no voice at all.

    I think the key is to -- in as much as the At-Large membership is able to -- rattle the cage of ICANN as much as we can so they remember why they are really there. This is not about power or control or even who'se the smartest one to lead; it's about forging and retaining some real direction, something sorely lacking at this time.

  19. Re:Instant Access! on Instant Access Memory · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain they mean instant in a slightly less technical fashion here, as in since the data is always held in memory, it's 'instantly' accessable, since you don't have to load it into RAM.Take it to mean how they use the word when discussing the 'instant on' feature of a Palm or other PDA device.

  25. Re:Aside on Middle Media · · Score: 2

    Well, I have to agree with you (and not about the ASCII art).

    This is all like claiming there's a middle movie media because the film industry thought at first they would up and vanish as TV seeped into more and more living rooms, but now there's so much cross-pollination going on between the two it's hard to see where one leaves off and the other begins (just look to see how many large Hollywood studios are left that are NOT owned by corporations with large holdings in other media like TV and print).

    Media is media, no matter the method of transmission.
