  1. Re:What about titin? on Longest Chemical Name: 64,060 letters · · Score: 1

    Damn, this will be over 250,000 letters long. I'll get to work on it :)

  2. Re:Spelling? on Longest Chemical Name: 64,060 letters · · Score: 1

    I used a spell-checker. Don't worry.

  3. I MADE THIS! on Longest Chemical Name: 64,060 letters · · Score: 1

    We were talking on #wikipedia about the longest word, and User:Kim Bruning did a search on Swiss-Prot for the longest protein, and it was an 8797 amino acid chain. So, I pasted it into notepad, replaced the letters with words, did some modelling with SWISS-MODEL, and made an article on Wikipedia.

  4. Re:What's a [sic]?? on Is Horse the New Mouse? · · Score: 1

    sic means that the typo was intentionally kept from the article, and was not the result of the editor, for once.

  5. Bill and Ted? on Bill Gates to Receive Honorary UK Knighthood · · Score: 1

    Bill S. Gates, esq? A MOST EXCELLENT knight!

  6. 1'3" on DRM for 1'3" of Silence · · Score: 1

    I read 1'3" at "1 foot, 3 inches" and, combining that with the Python foot icon, thought it was an article about the little-known Foot of Silence.

  7. Re:So.... on NASA Plans Discovery Launch May 15 · · Score: 1

    "But we have yet to even leave our own planet's gravity-well."

    So our next mission should be to send someone out to infinity?

  8. Re:So.... on NASA Plans Discovery Launch May 15 · · Score: 1

    "Space travel, OTOH, is an accomplishment."

    Yes, and we've accomplished it already. If there's currently no reason to go back, why the hell do we keep doing it? Does NASA have some obligation to Tempur-Pedic???

  9. Re:String Theory = Gravitron on New Distributed Project Seeks Gravity Waves · · Score: 1

    Is a gravitron where virtual gravitons live?

  10. So.... on NASA Plans Discovery Launch May 15 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, it's alright for them to fly up to the useless space station and do their "experiments", but they can't head over to Hubble and do something useful with taxpayer money?

  11. I'm sure he has his reasons... on Louisiana Man Pleads Guilty to Creating 911 Worm · · Score: 1

    Probably something along the lines of, "I dunno..."

  12. I can see it now... on NSA to Become Government Net 'Traffic Cop?' · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... microsoft.com gets hacked, and they send Frank Parker back in time 7 days to fix it...

  13. This can't be good... on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just started using this thing, and all of a sudden I heard a quiet "Move zig..." over the speakers....

  14. WTF, I SUBMITTED THIS STORY OVER 6 MONTHS AGO!!! on Los Alamos Missing Disks Never Existed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I repeatedly submitted this story to /. back in July and even posted it in a comment:

  16. Re:What are they talking about? on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 1

    "Just how can 'edit' be so slow?"

    Maybe because what's being edited is more special. Choose your meaning of "special".

  17. What are they talking about? on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Windows 3.1 and Notepad run nice and fast on my 3.2GHz 8GB RAM box.

  18. I've done this before... on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Back in my high school spanish class, the teacher made an offer that if anyone could figure out his Windows screensaver password (which was a spanish nickname his grandma gave him), he'd give that person an A for the year. The fool.

  19. Re:Jesus must've had some serious plastic surgery. on Carbon Dating & The Shroud of Turin · · Score: 1

    Thus my saying he looked "something like" the first link, NOT that he looked exactly like the first link............

  20. Jesus must've had some serious plastic surgery... on Carbon Dating & The Shroud of Turin · · Score: 1

    How else can you explain his change in appearance from something like this to this? He's clearly had the Michael Jackson nose job, cheek lifts, and a complete cranial restructuring, among other things...

  21. It's probably time.... on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    It's probably time for them to add "complete lack of functionality" to their Full List of Features...

  22. And this is probably the result of... on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    Melinda probably hid the remote control and told Bill he'd get it back when he made a large donation.

  23. Gate's only regret... on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    Gate's dying regret is going to be, "I could have done more."

  24. This is part of his plan on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is just the beginning of his campaign to create a more secure human being, which will eventually include various bug fixes, tracking chips, emotion inhibitors, and one bionic extendo-grab arm.

  25. A better question would be... on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 1

    A better question would be: Do you have anything worth protecting? Most of the people I've seen go to extreme lengths to keep worthless crap secure, just so they can go around telling everyone how secure their POS is.
