  1. I'd reply... on Copyright Defeats? · · Score: 0

    ...but you probably wouldn't acknowledge it.

  2. Can we get a libertarian country first? on Stem Cell "Master Gene" Found · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So we don't have to deal with the inevitable ethicist and moralist windbags?

  3. Those afraid of change will die... on OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard Review · · Score: 1

    Those who stick to the old ways will die in war. And we are always at war. This sounds like a good idea, and it is very different. I'll give it a try. I don't want to die.

  4. Uh, we're geeks here... on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 1

    We don't care about money, we just want our sci-fi novels to come true!

  5. A geek who thinks we should wait... on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 0

    Ok I'm supposed to jizz all over myself at the thought of humans (using super new TECHNOLOGY!) living on the moon. I think we should work on changing ourselves first, through transhumanism.

  6. Would be nice to get hexadecimal equivalents... on A Supernova In Red/Blue Plaid, Please · · Score: 1

    So that's then 32h times higher than usual. We geeks don't like decimal, right?

  7. Re:Awful Idea on Kiro, the Foosball Robot · · Score: 1

    Wow thanks, woulda modded up if I could. I'm a transhumanist, but there's something to be said for having limitations when survival isn't at stake.

  8. Play Go instead . on Play GNU Chess On Your Scanner · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's far better. You can't be a nerd without playing Go.

  9. Re:Restrictive copyrights are the problem. on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    It's not open source really, it's about the gift economy.

  10. Restrictive copyrights are the problem. on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    Why can't they just release the games possibly with source code for free and accept tips from people who like it?

  11. again, information is not physical on Microsoft Prepares Alternative To Apple iTunes · · Score: 1

    How many times does this have to be explained...information can't be owned. Next thing people will start insisting 1+1=3, it's just as stupid to say.

  12. They scare me... on Is the Seeking of Lost Skills/Arts a Hacking Analog? · · Score: 1

    I see them in the park with padded clothing and nerf swords or something. What's so sad is it's usually three quarters men, and they look like they're fighting for the few nasty-looking women there.

  13. Could be libertarian bent... on Is the Seeking of Lost Skills/Arts a Hacking Analog? · · Score: 1

    The survivalism wing of libertarianism calls for a better understanding of basics like soap making.

  14. Yet another example of /. libertarianism... on Resume Spamming Creates Storage, Legal Snags · · Score: 1

    Well, but I'm an extreme libertarian anyway. Libertarians are like humans with a shotgun watching the stupid dogs (right) and cats (left) squabble.

  15. Re:embellish on Mastering Light · · Score: 1

    I've skipped some classes totally with an A, others I attended mainly because the book wasn't really closely covered (usually the more advanced classes). Sometimes I even just used instrutor notes and skipped class too. If anything it depends more on the instructor than the subject material. As for researchers teaching, this usually ends up a disaster. Frankly if I'm researching something I don't want to be standing at a chalkboard yacking to a bunch of social climbers. I'd probably rather they shut up and carry my equipment. Yeah ideally it should work out, but in reality it rarely works out.

  16. embellish on Mastering Light · · Score: 1

    MIT is a school, and thus very caught up in ego. Why can't research be disconnected from learning centers? Schools are caught up in the lie that going there makes you special. Read the damn book and you are just as well off.

  17. Because it's MIT people listen... on Mastering Light · · Score: -1, Troll

    MIT is the "establishment". It even lives by an acronym. I'd rather some nobody not operating within an establishment invent something than MIT over and over. What is MIT anyway? A single fusion bomb could probably take it out. Will people care about MIT in 64 years? Hopefully not. Hopefully it will be gone and we won't have any more establishments.

  18. half way inbetween as a computer engineer... on PPC 970 Confirmed for Apple? · · Score: 1

    With the Itanium it was very much a newer and 'fresher' design. AMD's 40h-bit extensions. They are adding a few more registers, which will help, but not much. If anything wiring more address pins may slow things down, but that would be minor. Overall it's really a matter of using the move as an excuse to switch things around and make everything faster.

  19. Re:Don't encourage idiots... BINGO on Martin Rees On The Multiverse, Scientific Research & Reality · · Score: 1

    Heh heh, damn I want to mod this up. Notice it never happens in something like chemistry. Only in math, physics, and philosophy does everyone seem to feel the need to weigh in with their oh-so-intelligent thoughts.

  20. "Humans are not animals" camp should read... on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    So sick of these pervasive idea in USian culture that humans are not animals. Now we don't even have our own genus!

  21. Re:LOL!! Mod Parent Up!! on Getting Inside Einstein's Head · · Score: 1

    But I'm not being elite. By saying ideas exist outside of time, I'm saying that nobody invented them and nobody is the elite.

  22. Re:technology good, patents bad . on Monsanto Plant Patent Case Winds On · · Score: 1

    Well it's like kinda like some relgious fundie idiots. They have this knee-jerk reaction to anything not "organic" like the religious have to anything not in their buy-bull. Transhumanists have to deal with both of them.

  23. Einstein, -1 overrated . on Getting Inside Einstein's Head · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What's the big deal with Einstein. Obviously ideas exist outside of time, so anything he came up with has been "invented" an infinite amount of times. Hey Einstein, you're not original at all. Hero worship is almost always bad, and more for the stupider masses. Us intelligent folks should worship binary or primes.

  24. so what, this Dan Hillis reinvented it too on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    Did this Dan person check all the information everywhere to see if nobody has ever done this? And what about previous civilizations? Or alien civilizations? Calculus was "invented" independently by two different people. Nobody owns or invents an idea. They exist outside of time. So fuck you, Dan.

  25. Re:The future is bit granular. on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    Of course there's overhead. But the elegance and simplicity is well worth it.
