  1. I found the problem on Toyota Acceleration and Embedded System Bugs · · Score: 1

    I found the problem. Seems to be some bad code in the cruise control module: DateTime randomTime = Random(time); if (randomTime currentTime && carDriver == "ugly american") { speed = 160; while (true) { if (carDriver.presses(break)) { speed += 5; } } }

  2. No one uses money on Star Trek on Space Money Invented For Space Tourists · · Score: 1

    If theses people watched Star Trek, they'd know we don't need money in space.

  3. My nutty explanation from a related topic on New Universes Will be Born from Ours · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Don't oversell it on How Do You Advocate Linux in 5 Minutes? · · Score: 1

    Naming everything with an X in front of it or using just an anacronym doesn't help either. Program names should be clear and not cryptic. Many in the Linux community believe using cryptic names is cool. I believe it just confuses the average user.

  5. Re:-1 for self-contradiction, -1 for lateness on One Big Bang, Or Many? · · Score: 1

    There is no contradiction in the two statements if one assumes that multiple, nearly concurrent big bangs can occur within infinite space. The matter that has dissipated from one big bang could accumulate with the matter of another big bang and collapse upon itself as in a black hole and then explode again creating a third big bang. Visualize a bunch of balloons in a room floating around expanding and exploding. The matter that is left over from "dissipated" balloons is used to create new balloons which then expand and explode again. These are not what I would call "parallel" universes, but systems that are completely separate from each other with each system having it's own set of galaxies. Notice that this explanation requires no advanced mathematics or obscure theories. If one thinks about this idea, it just makes sense.
