  1. That's just great... on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    So when I go to the store and buy more than a pound of butter,
    the DEA is going to break down my door and arrest me for an
    attempt to distribute... butter? Does that mean cow farms
    are going to move to Afghanistan?

  2. Re:i'm confused on Intergalactic Race Shows That Einstein Still Rules · · Score: 1

    Possibly female photons? Their line was longer to get out of the star.

    Um, what Jane Goodall reeeaaally die of? :-)

    If you ban jailbreaking, only criminals will jailbreak.

  8. DNA mismatch on Russion serial killer on DNA Differences Observed Between Blood and Organs · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a Russian claim that the serial killer, Chikatilo (sp?) had different sperm DNA than his blood or saliva,
    thus causing a delay in his eventual capture?

  9. Asteroid confirmed on Something May Have Just Hit Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Several sky watchers have been following a
    very dark asteroid for the last few months
    before it disappeared behind Jupiter. It
    apparently was measured to be about
    1x4x9 meters in shape.

  10. Re:I wonder what BOINC's contribution to CO2 outpu on BOINC Exceeds 2 Petaflop/s Barrier · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually I run the Linpack HPL here at the lab, once with two clusters (one 228 nodes 4cpus x 4cores each x 4 float ops per cycle, and one 1152 node cluster of the same AMD configuration) we hit 1.069 MegaWatts and I started peeling the paint off of a huge transformer in the basement. I had to do one at a time. Linpack is a power pig with double precision floating point if your cpu/thread/mpi balance is correct.

  11. How much did they spend on this #$%$^ study? on Swearing Provides Pain Relief, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    They could have had data for free watching me repair my car (physical pain, e.g. skinned knuckles and the like), or watch me golf (psychological pain). Both examples would be shoved in my face on judgment day, but I repent too damn fast!

  13. Cheap way to find bad memory on Reliability of Computer Memory? · · Score: 1

    Just palpate your memories and check for lumps.

  14. Report Lars to the IRS on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    He just 'gifted' himself a downloaded song and under RIAA terms that amounts to maybe upwards of $225,000.00. Certainly would put his ass in a world of hurt trying to explain his way out of it to the IRS.

  15. Re:Interesting. on Crocodiles With Frickin' Magnets Attached to Their Heads · · Score: 1

    But we do have guns and a real hankerin' for new belts and boots.

  16. Re:Multiple discoveries! on Oldest Human Hair Discovered In Fossilized Poop · · Score: 1
