  1. Re:CELLULOSE != FOOD on $1/Gallon "Green Gasoline" In Sight · · Score: 1

    Sure, cellulose decomposes, but it takes weeks for this process to even begin being noticeable (in normal atmospheric conditions, that is). It doesn't need so many resources to prevent its decomposition.

  2. The eyes!! on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 1

    Shit! Those eyes... have freaked me off!! I swear, they moved!! =8-(

  3. Re:This is getting ridiculous on OOXML Will Pass Amid Massive Irregularities · · Score: 1

    This basically shows, how the world is tied up. If Microsoft wants something, it goes to its partner, a national corporate giant (StatoilHydro is a nafta giant) and asks him a favor. Then suddenly, government of the country is all for Microsoft's wishes. >:(

  4. Re:To be expected on Windows 7 Likely Going Modular, Subscription-based · · Score: 1

    You should try Russian out. English is quite simple to learn compared to Russian -- and I'm a native Russian speaker... :)

  5. Re:Shiny Disco Balls? on Single Photons Bounced Off Orbiting Satellite · · Score: 1

    OK, but how did they know the received photon was the one they fired, and not one received from a far-away star?

  6. Re:No they won't run on Linux on Killer Military Robot Arms Race Underway? · · Score: 1

    Aaah! You mean, it's going to be a rock-paper-scissors-type game -- played with arms. Risk plays a major role in this!

  7. Re:I must rush out on Apple, Starbucks Sued Over Music Gift Cards · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why would an honest man use encryption anyway? To hide something illegal, no?

  8. Re:We already have Freedom! on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    It does have a price! But it was fair trade anyway.

  9. Re:motorists being forced off the road and into bu on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    Wow! Where is that? In China? Cuba? Belarus?..

  10. Re:Doesn't look like a phone to me... on Messenger Probe Sends Back Mercury Photos · · Score: 1

    Oh, wait! I meant Copyleft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft :)

  11. Re:Doesn't look like a phone to me... on Messenger Probe Sends Back Mercury Photos · · Score: 1

    Turn the image around. See? It's licensed under a Creative Commons' license!

  12. Re:This picture puts all in perspective on HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I told my wife about it. Great. Now she wants a little golden canister of scorpion venom all covered in diamonds to wear around her neck...

  13. Re:They are the Boogeymen! on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hehe, last time I (and some others) checked, Iranian leader did not in fact threaten to wipe anything off the map. It turned out to be a mistranslation by a bunch of incompetent journalists.

  14. Re:And why not? on Promise of OOXML Oversight By ISO Falls Through · · Score: 1

    only to have Microsoft turn on these partners when it sues them
  15. Re:Bash the Keyboard in disContent on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yes, I do! >:> Bwahahahahahaaa!

  16. Re:Also: Mammoth DNA on Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue · · Score: 1

    I wasn't talking about ancestors, but rather the very species we want to breed.

  17. Re:Also: Mammoth DNA on Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue · · Score: 1

    I thought that Endangered Species List only lists animals endangered in the wild, no? Those being breeded as livestock cannot be held endangered, can they?

  18. Re:Also: Mammoth DNA on Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hey, I've got a business idea. What would you think if we would breed those mammoths as livestock and sell their meat (Delicious Mammoth Jerky?) and, of course, ivory! And sure enough, many zoos around the globe would want to buy one for their exhibits. That would probably save the elephants from extinction...

  19. Re:Im wondering... on SixApart Sells LiveJournal to Russian Media Company · · Score: 1

    It's one of well-known LiveJournal's great features, that it allows you to analyse your posts, your LJ friend's posts, your friends lists, insterests etc. by allowing to use the open data, exported in relatively easily parsed XML-based formats, from various applications. I doubt it will ever be restricted for use, because given the LiveJournal's relatively weak eye-candy, for ex.

  20. Re:Blame the Geeks? on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 1

    It's guerilla warfare, not gorilla war. This kind of warfare has nothing to do with poor gorillas or any other apes. "Guerilla" mea "small war" in Spanish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare

  21. Re:Crater on Crater From 1908 Tunguska Blast Found · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yes, in Soviet Russia craters find YOU!

    Hey, cowboy, it's not Texas, it's Europe we're talking about! Nobody will ram your car off the street just like that!

  25. Re:Four basic package managers. on Microsoft Doesn't Care About Destroying Linux · · Score: 1

    That means: if you want to release a binary version of your software, you have to compile and package it for each and every distribution you wish to support. This is a sign of fragmentation.
    You don't *have* to compile. All you need is release the source code. Community will do the rest. ;)
