  2. Make it stop! on Scientists Find New Painkiller From Saliva · · Score: 5, Funny

    When the researchers injected a pain-inducing chemical into rats' paws, 1 gram of opiorphin per kilogram of body weight achieved the same painkilling effect as 3 grams of morphine.

    Well wouldn't you say anything to make them stop spitting on you?

    "No more, yes alright it works I'm not in pain anymore."

    Moving out of cuckoo land, I have a twisted ankle after a fall yesterday should I hock a loogie onto it?

  6. Re:Make people think to figure out your e-mail on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I use a similar method, expect them they can only actually send me mail on the Summer solstice using a special machine buried in the mountains of India and must be used whilst standing upon a hill overlooking khafkas' pyramid wearing a blue apron.
    When the light shines through the fascia of the machine it powers up for a few minutes and opens a connection which is bounced around my diamond CPU initiating the SMTP process.
    If you get the timing incorrect then the suns rays will instantly vaporise you.

    So far I haven't had much spam.

  11. Re:This site is a little messed up on Google's Test Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Yes, ars put a link to an image on the saitti website which the saitti owner took offence to (draining his bandwidth).
    He replaced the link with a dodgy one instead which includes a statement towards ars.

    Googles' image filtering isn't highlighting it because the rest of the site is as you say pedestrian.

    (Incidentally, since it gets past strict filtering I have informed them about it)

  13. feedback on the feedback on Google's Test Search Engine · · Score: 5, Informative

    I just tried it and gave a search "NASA shuttle" (on topic...) and it gives a page displaying search results, image results and wikipedia results.
    There is a small area asking for feedback:


    Were these results useful to you?
    Web Pages Yes / No
    Images Yes / No
    Wikipedia Yes / No


    Well, The page results were as expected so Yes, as was wikipedia (even though it was closed to start with) and the results for images would be useful if I could see them (they were at the bottom of the page and not visible at first, so I clicked no).

    How can I tell them that the images would be really good if they were somewhere else on the screen?
    If they want feedback, they should let people give feedback.

  14. Re:Simple! on NASA Avoids "Happy New Year" On Shuttle · · Score: 1

    I would say no, they would have to run everything through in realtime.
    If you just jump into code without the stack in the correct state you will get invalid results.
    Try it sometime by just jumping into some random working code and see how many things fuck up.

  15. Re:Like, shouldn't they have tested this years ago on NASA Avoids "Happy New Year" On Shuttle · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My guess is the systems are based upon days - ie the mission is 14 days long, if the day counter rolls backwards as others have suggested passing a negative delta into certain functions could fuck it up and just testing one day either side would not necessarily test it properly.

  16. Re:Simple! on NASA Avoids "Happy New Year" On Shuttle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many places would you have to put that code in and could you be sure it will work?
    How do you know the leapyear code works?
    Wouldn't your code have to do a year++ line?
    Does it matter which direction they are travelling, is it not possible to technically flipflop between one year and the next based on where you are flying over?
    What will happen to systems if the day variable is less than the previously stored one, will it cause the ship to flip out and attempt a burn?

    Too many factors, nasa is right at the moment.

    There is no lesson here.
    Sony were in the right place at the right time and managed to define a generation.
    Running a business is like a river, it ebbs and flows along. Sometimes its slow, other times its a raging torrent but as long as you stay in the boat you will reach the ocean.

    There are many products which define a generation, the walkman was one of those Nobutoshi Kihara and Sony should be proud of their achievements.

    Apple have caught the wave this time, and in another 5-10 years someone else will.

    Wouldn't it be great if you could download and install a monitoring program which scans incoming media (with a toggle...) and matches items up with their current producer.
    Legitimately buy the media you download, wherever you download it from.

    Before they did the fix the parents were pointing at 16777215 (which is why clicking parent displayed a dodgy template.

    The reason why the thread for comment 16777215 is not massive is because the comments now use a double key, ParentID(cid) and StoryID (sid) - displaying a thread is now "select ..... where cid=yourparent and sid=yourstory"
