  1. Re:Bioinformatics eh? on Apple to Award Workgroup Clusters to Scientists · · Score: 2, Funny
    He probably believes in the creationists.
    wait... creationists don't exist?
  2. hmmm. i dunno about that. on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    i was a competitive fencer in college. while i enjoyed it, i wouldn't call it the best sport for socialization skills. a lot of geeks fence already.

  3. false advertising? on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    how is it false advertising? PEPSI, not apple, is advertising free music downloads for the end user. these teens saying they're going to download music for free isn't false, it's a clever way of spinning what pepsi is promoting. the spot doesn't make any claim that is false or can be disproved. please get your terminology straight.

    if the ad actually said: "hey, buy music from us and we guarantee that the riaa will never get a cent from the sale" then it would be false advertising.

  4. it's still missing a key os9 behavior on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    i like to keep the dock tidy. so i tried to use the app folder in the dock approach long ago when i first switched to os x. the problem is that you can't drag & drop icons onto the applications that way. if they allowed pop-up drilling into dock folders for drag and drop then it would be nearly perfect.

  5. Re:This is why video compression will soon not mat on IBM Says Polymer Memory Could Be Ready By 2005 · · Score: 1

    it's actually 720x486 @ 30 fps. film only runs at 24 fps projected. when it's transferred to video it has to become 29.97 fps in the 3:2 pulldown.

  6. Re:What, not the Segway? on iTunes Music Store - 'Coolest Invention of 2003' · · Score: 1

    too bad you didn't realize that itunes was running "soundcheck" during it's initial run to control the volume between songs. that's why there was excessive processor load. it goes back down to normal after that.
