  1. Re:No. on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    there is also this little thing called 'peer-review' (and again the tiny thing called 'Sokal Affair')

  2. Interesting Terms of Service!! on Xerox Opens Virtual Research Lab · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Cue anti-iphone trolls & "open" android sta on iPhone Alarm Bug Leads To Mass European Sleep-in · · Score: 1

    The nexus one is as unlocked as it gets - I got the latest 2 OS updates OTA not depending on my carrier, direct from google!

  4. check out the website on Trash-To-Fuel Process Validated By US Military · · Score: 1

    The website of Green Power Inc. seems quite dodgy - http://cleanenergyprojects.com/. Now, that can be either a very good sign or a very very very bad sign. It reminds me of the website of the Atom chip corporation(http://atomchip.com/) with their quantum optical processors.

  5. Re:Duh... on Australian Senate Hears Open Source Is Too Expensive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do they really think it's better to pay for an egg every day than for a chicken today and then nothing for the foreseeable future?

    ....then pay a little for the chicken feed and pay a little for cleaning up the cage and pay a little vaccinating the chicken etc.. Clearly, you have never bought a live chicken for the eggs :)

  6. Re:Emacs org-mode on What Does Everyone Use For Task/Project Tracking? · · Score: 1

    +1 for orgmode

  7. Re:Good to see that screwing over children paid of on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 1

    do analyse a little bit before posting! The producers have setup a trust fund(huffington post, first hit in google for "the fate of slumdog millionaire kids") setup which will help them get out of the rut their family is in.... And by the looks of it, the distributors (fox searchlight) might make more money than the original producers (film 4 UK)

  8. isn't this what MS and IV are? on Startup Seeks To Preempt Patent Trolls · · Score: 1

    Intellectual ventures(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_Ventures) does the same thing? I am sure they would have patented (or at least applied for one) the business model!!

  9. back to the past? on Movie Theater To Go On Tour · · Score: 1

    You know, during my grandad's times, all movies used to be screened in 'Touring Talkies'...a tent with a white cloth screen at the end. Good to know that the Touring Talkies are striking back...

  10. Perfect contest on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now that we have 'official' private space launches, I implore all those zillonaires-with-more-money-than -they-know-what-to-do-with, to come up and sponsor a x-prize like prize for the first moonbase!

  11. Re:No, *I* am Spartacus! on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    Why shouldnot I use a windows based Lynx...or even change the browser identification string in Mozilla? Even that would be sufficient to get 'attention', I believe.
