  1. Re:another reason to call in sick on Electrical Noise Causing Physiological Stress? · · Score: 1

    Some electronic equipment does give me headaches, but I think its more the High-pitched sounds electronics produce rather than EM Fields that causes it.

  2. Family guy quote...... on Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    EVERYONE WAS ON VACATION!

    Anyway, ive seen more and more governmental backings of big corperations in the past decade, and it has been just getting worse. US allowing corperations to use emminant domain,
    (even indirectly) laws benifiting corperations that allow huge punishments for minor things, This has been and will continue to be a worldwide problem. Money is what allows politicians to get a voice comvincing people to vote for them through lies and propaganda, that money comes primarly from corperations. So the government backs the corperations to get more money from them, to continue to get lies and false promises heard by the people so they get reelected. Its been happening for years, but grows at an exponential pace as its a recursive pattern.

  3. Re:Legal Action on PTO Requests Working Model of Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    The system is seperate than earth's email system, and no earthling showed up at the last intergalactic email standards meeting at alpha centari, even though they would have been welcomed if they came and would have had a vote in the final standard selection. Its not our fault you desided to use an incompatable naming convention.

  4. Re:1 Peta?? How many on Petabyte Storage Array · · Score: 1

    What if someone wanted to make a photo album with 1 picture for each person on the planet? They Would run out of space! They would need to buy 2 in order to hold all the pictures! And what if they wanted bitmaps? Even more would be needed!

  5. Re:Falsifiable on Evidence for String Theory? · · Score: 1

    What about.....
    C. Develop a theory of god that involves an alternate universe/Dimention compatable with string theory and currently accepted universal models. In this alternate universe different universal laws exist (speed of light is infinite, infinite energy exists, and there is a creature made up of the infinate energy and can use it at will, and is therefore all powerful.)

  6. Re:Why is this such a problem? on GPL 3 to Take Hard Line on DRM · · Score: 1

    Use a CDRW then you dont waste the CD.

  7. Re:Alice? on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 1, Informative

    It was named Alice because it was thought that it had formed in early January, but after naming it and going back through the record, they found that it had actually formed on December 30th, and not in January 1955 as was thought. Because it was already named, it was decided that the name would stay Alice, but it is still consitered the last storm of the 1954 season, giving that season 2 A storms.

  8. Re:Ah yes... on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Unrelated to Typing? · · Score: 1

    My instructor gave anyone who did that a "chicken typer" hat in the shape of a dunce hat. Didnt work too well cause everyone started typing badly just to get the hat, so it only lasted 2 classes.

  9. Re:Would be nice, but not really... on The 3 Billion Dollar Typo · · Score: 1

    I did somthing similar for a project where we had to make a yes/no prompt come up in our program. I promped "Would you like to donate your life savings to me?" The no button would run away if you tried to move your mouse over it, while the yes button would crawl over to where the mouse was. good thing none of the spyware companies have tried this yet, making it very difficult to hit "cancel" after reading the EULA.

  10. Re:"Intergalactic war", huh? on Canadian Ex-Minister Calls For Serious ET Study · · Score: 1

    Except hes not talking about a 1D universe, just about defending a 1D area. (a person is practicing his archery skills in an empty field with a power line running through it. the rest of the neighborhood dosnt care unless the power line gets hit. (Not exactly 1D but close enough)) There may be other areas in existance, but we dont care about them.

  11. Re:The mother of all asteroid deflection devices on Using Gravity To Tow Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Actually it would save money in launch costs for the large amount of mass. It would be more expencive for the ship itself, yes, but if its a ship of say 5% the total needed mass, your paying about 50%-100% more in ship launch costs, and a tiny fraction of the cost of the rest of the mass required (aquired on the moon), producing an overall gain. also if we get fuel on the moon as well (Helium 3 or possible hydrogen from the possible water in craters) it will save even more.

  12. Re:RTFA Much? on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 1

    Ill laugh if the PS3 being delayed was fake, and was just a ploy by sony to get Microsoft to try somthing like this, then at the last miute, they go "Surprise" and release the PS3 at the same time as the Xbox, but in sufficent quantities. There will be a huge number of people wanting an Xbox, but getting a PS3 instead because of availibility. Would be very difficult to pull off though.

  13. Re:90 days, eh? on Police Need 90 Days To Crack Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    They pay a mere $20,000 per year for wrongful imprisonment in the US. So 90 days would be $5,000.

  14. Re:So what's after Tropical Storm Omega? on Tropical Storm Alpha Sets Naming Record · · Score: 1

    If it did get high with names and end up running out of greek letters (would happen after 45 named storms), they would most likely end up just having the storms and hurricanes keep their tropical depression #. (AKA hurricane #52, Tropical storm #54)

  15. Re:Fragging children. on Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms to Anyone Under 18 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lets just put each child in a room with padded walls, no windows and a TV tuned to Seseme Street 24 hours a day. They will be provided with KidChow(TM) and Water. When they reach 18 they will be released into the wild safely having grown up without anything evil affecting them.

  16. Its still called a moon. on New Tenth Planet Has a Moon · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ida And Dactyl

    Ida Is an Asteroid. Dactyl is another asteroid which is a moon of Ida. I dont see anyone calling Ida a planet just because it has a moon.

  17. RIAA Failed Statistics on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 1

    Its possible for there to be a correlation and actually still have it DROP the shoplifting rate.

    (NOTE: The following is completely based on assumptions had has absolutely no bearing on reality.)

    Lets say 2% of the population is shoplifters and 10% use P2P now lets assume 50% of shoplifters use P2P that means the P2P users are now 90% non-shoplifters and 10% shoplifters. Now lets say 40% of those shoplifters get what they want through P2P and don't shoplift anymore. You end up with a rate of 6% of P2P users being shoplifters even though the overall rate has dropped due to P2P.

    Amsterdam dosn't get hurricanes though. They can get some strong storms, but not anywhere near that of a cat 5 hurricane.

  23. Re:Neopets and Livejournal users are just as bad on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 1

    Had a friend that took an image on my site and hotlinked it as an avitar on some message boards. I changed the Image to say "I am an Idiot" Also since if a person changed their avatar on those boards it would not affect past posts, he was stuck with dozens of posts where he proudly proclamed that he was a loser.
