  1. Arts and Entertainment need no justifications. on Why Charles Stross Hates Star Trek · · Score: 1

    "the writers of Star Trek would simply 'insert' technology or science into the script whenever needed, without any real regard to its significance; 'then they'd have consultants fill in the appropriate words (aka technobabble) later.'"

    "the writers of Super Mario Bros. would simply 'insert' mario star or shroom into W4-1 whenever needed, without any real regard to its significance; 'then they'd gamers fill in the appropriate game guides later.'"

    "the writers of Symphony No. 9 in E Minor would simply 'insert' triangles or cymbals into the score whenever needed, without any real regard to its significance; 'then they'd have conductors fill in the appropriate mood later.'"

  2. Re:Pretty simple for me. on Sky Watchers Want Recognized a Newly Described Type of Cloud · · Score: 1

  4. Re:Heat Death on Universe Has 100x More Entropy Than We Thought · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to be a smart ass and shit, but the "mind" you describe, sounds like a "book", or a symphony. We already have "minds" that survives. If there's no input or output, nobody can hear the tree falls. And hence whether it is objectively alive (or conscious) isn't meaningful.

    The problem I see is, when the sun explodes, when all suns explodes, your book won't be there. Not going in the multiverse thing at all here.

  7. Re:No it wouldn't be faster on Software To Flatten a Photographed Book? · · Score: 1

    dude, hopefully you shot both left and right page open into 1 file. If that's the case, drag one into photoshop, record actions while you tweak. Then auto/batch the whole series with that action and see what's up.

  14. Re:I beg to differ on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 1

    People really shouldn't be posting photos and such of other people without getting permission first, it's just common courtesy that if you're exposing somebody to a potentially large audience that you do it only with permission.

    I "feel" the same way, but I don't "think" the same way. Although sometimes I don't like people posting photos of me without asking first, the rational part of me kept asking, WHY? Why should people ask me first? What is the ethics based on? I just don't know.

  17. Re:use em or lose'm for patents doesn't fix much on Former Intel CEO Andy Grove Wants Struggling Industries To Stop Slacking · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is in English for exactly the same reason why your grandma's computer runs Windows. It's conquest. If the Japanese had the scale of the conquest of the British, you would be posting in Japanese right now.
    .
    It's not a "good" thing that we speak English if you think about it. How many cattle were raped in the process?

  18. Team Fortress 1. on Measuring Input Latency In Console Games · · Score: 1

    Anyone who played TF1 all played at 600ms+ on their 14.4k modem. We grapple hook just fine. Console noobs have it easy. Wow I sound like him

  19. impress you say eh? on Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid · · Score: 1

    trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks.
    .
    Let's just say my brain function wasn't used to impress her. More like my visual cortex was occupied from 40% normal usage to 90%.

  20. Re:Bad science on British Company Takes Lead To Stop Asteroids · · Score: 1

    But that would overload the flux capacitor conduit thereby inducing a catalytic tachyon space-time channel, and that has nothing to do with HBO.

  21. Re:Do Not Call Has Worked Perfectely For Me on FTC Rules Outlawing Robocalls Go Into Effect Next Week · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The best way is to make it matters legally. Give them your credit card number, the one you don't use often or just sign one up just for this. Let them charge it, then take it up to the card center and police and say you have a lead on someone using your credit card illegally. If it's no traceable, you can't prove enough to charge my card either. If it is, you get the fuckers.
