    Ah, I understand now. You're a nutjob.

    I find your perspective refreshing, if a little mis-spelled.

  3. Re:Homeland Security's gonna love this... on Qu8k Rockets Above the Balloons · · Score: 1

    Has there been a private flight into orbit? I.e., not using national-level spacecraft?

  4. Re:Homeland Security's gonna love this... on Qu8k Rockets Above the Balloons · · Score: 1

    I thought SMD needed solder baths, robotic chip placers, and all that. Is it possible to do by hand?

  5. Re:Didn't Sound Optimistic to Me! on Does Italian Demo Show Cold Fusion, or Snake Oil? · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never heard of the CNO cycle. That would be carbon, nitrogen and oxygen -- some of the most abundant elements in the Universe!

  10. Re:Question on Ask They Might Be Giants About Almost 30 Years of Music · · Score: 1

    But the outer layers of cool stars are mostly neutral. Therefore, 'gas' would be a better descriptor than 'plasma'.

  11. Ah, memories... on Is ARM Ever Coming To the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    ...I was the first person in the world to have Linux running on an ARM 250 (that being the chip inside my long-gone Acorn Archimedes A3020 desktop). This was in the very early days of ARM Linux, and I was finding that the kernel would invariably oops when I booted up. Rather than submitting the problem to a forum (there weren't any), I caught a train to somewhere in south London, with the A3020 in my backpack, and spent an evening in the bedroom of Russell King -- the guy who originally ported Linux to the ARM architecture. Took him about 30 minutes to figure out what was wrong and get the kernel to boot.

    Obvious troll is obvious.

  13. Re:As a university professor: on Your State University Doesn't Want You · · Score: 1

    While it is a steep up-front cost, the expected lifetime return on investment is much larger.

  15. Re:tax payer bought schools on Your State University Doesn't Want You · · Score: 1

    Blame your tea-party governors, who have slashed state support so much that state schools have to look elsewhere for funding.

    Lower taxes or cheap state education. You can choose one, but not both.

    About $9k a year at UW-Madison, which is Big 10 and Public Ivy. I'd say that is cheap.

  20. Re:MOD Parent up, please Re:Conflating facts on Your State University Doesn't Want You · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't understand the concept of 'deferred salary' or 'compensation package'. You must be a commie.

  21. Re:And ... you lose. on Feds Call Full-Tilt Poker a 'Global Ponzi Scheme' · · Score: 1

    If I own some Transformers from the 1980s, and the new movies made their value rise in price, and I sell them and have to pay taxes because I sold them to someone for more than what I bought them for, I was not fucking 'double taxed' because the damn moviemakers paid taxes. It's not the same money, you idiot.

    This.
