  1. Wow - D! on Are C and C++ Losing Ground? · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'm amazed that D made the list. Could this really replace C++ given more time?

    I think the United States is a little busy with their own activities at the moment.

  6. Cover your eyes? on Homeland Security Commissions LED-Based Puke-Saber · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...not that you'd be an effective terrorist with your eyes closed. BTW, is it wrong of me to want to see this used on large crowds?

  7. Wark! on Giant Dinosaur Bird Discovered · · Score: 3, Funny

    Waaaaaark!

  8. Re:What're the odds? on A Look at the Compiz and Beryl Merger · · Score: 1

    Last I tried, VMware can't support the graphics acceleration needed for compviz/beryl. What VM are you using?

  9. Real Deal on Brain/Computer Gaming Interface Coming in 2008 · · Score: 1

    These guys are the real deal. I witnessed a prototype demo back in early 2006. In addition to developing an input device, they've also been using the thing to test video games under development: test where players are bored, surprised, learning, etc. Its really exciting stuff!

  10. FF7 Berret Quotes on A Criticism of Race Portrayal in Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    Post Final Fantasy 7 Berret quotes here. I'll start: "But that's for Marlene's schoolin'!"

  11. Making it hard for post-apocalyptic people on Doomsday Seed Vault Design Unveiled · · Score: 1

    The Svalbard International Seed Vault will house the seed samples will at a preservative -18C (0F), and could be used by post-apocalyptic people to feed a hungry planet." Yes, the North Pole should be very easy to get too post-apocalypse.
  12. Super Double Hashing Table on Largest Twin Prime Yet Discovered · · Score: 1

    Super double hashing table here I come!! As Knuth reccomends: http://www.google.com/search?&q=double+%22hash+tab le%22+%22twin+prime%22+knuth&btnG=Search

  13. Fortress rejected by DARPA on Sun Releases Fortran Replacement as OSS · · Score: 1

  14. Wait until he gets older... on Windows Chief Suggests Vista Won't Need Antivirus · · Score: 5, Funny

    You'll need to start worrying when he turns 12 or 13. ;)

  15. Re:Question on Commodore 64 Confuses Austrian Police · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The guy kidnapped a little girl and kept her for 8 years. He's obviously a nut case. I don't think you can back his choice to use a Commodore 64 with reason.

  16. Re:what if you change your mind? on Light so Fast it Travels Backward · · Score: 1

    I think I saw this in the SciFi show Andromeda. It was with watermelons though... and they exploded. Everyone likes exploding watermelon.
