  1. Re:Easy Solution. on Toyota Prius Under Fire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1
    That's it! The patent is for a "braking system," but (so far) nobody holds a patent on a "breaking system!"


    Seems to me that Microsoft should have got a patent for that long ago.
  2. What am I missing? on NASA Details Earthquake Effects on the Earth · · Score: 1

    If the earths rotation slowed, doesn't that mean we have *more* time each day? I, for one, welcome our rotation changing overlords.

  3. What am I missing here? on NASA Details Earthquake Effects on the Earth · · Score: 1

    If the earth's rotation slowed...doesn't that mean we have *more* time each day? What am I missing here?

  4. Re:Problems, uh-oh on Half Life 2 Stuttering Bug Official · · Score: 1
    This will delay my purchase of the game. As the last link shows, these problems have been evident even in the E3 demos. Why didn't valve fix this?
    Because they have been taken over by the Combine.
  5. Thinking Backward on Berkeley Researchers Analyze Florida Voting Patterns · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is as dumb as saying because the exit polls showed Kerry winning, the voting was rigged. That is thinking backward. The vote tally proves the analysis is wrong, not the other way around. The fact remains that even if 130,000 votes were changed for Bush...bush still won by over 100,000 votes. It's time for the democrats to realized that they lost. More people voted for Bush than Kerry. Move on and try and figure out why America rejected your ideas.

  6. Re:Quote from TFA on Interview With Math Legend Benoit Mandelbrot · · Score: 3, Funny
    Yeah, my uncle used to work with him. In those pretty IBM ads that featured some of the fractal work they were doing, IBM put Benoit in front of a screen with a bunch of pretty work my uncle was doing at the time. My uncle got no credit, of course.


    Yeah? Well, my aunt used to be his maid! She made his breakfast, combed his hair, and gave him all of his ideas. Not only did she teach him math when he was a kid, she walked 8 miles barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways to do it. And did she get any credit? Nope!
  7. Re:Liars on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Well, to start you can look at all the red states occupying the middle of America where religion and vales matter more than facts." As opposed to the blue states who, as you have shown us, can't even spell "values".

  8. Re:/. the call center on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 5, Funny

    > Has a call center ever been slashdotted before?

    Actually, yes. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/14/123125 4&tid=133

  9. I was there on Police Disperse Bush Protesters with Pepper Paintballs · · Score: 1

    I was at the Rally. First you had to go to the republican party headquarters to get them, and they said it was to be a republican event. *Everyone* knew they were not allowed to protest in the rally. The rupublican party has every right to set any rule they want when they are renting a place to have a rally.
