  1. Re:livejournal? on The Biggest MySQL Cluster, Ever? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's an XML file detailing all of the clusters. It's a little hard to read, but it works.

  2. Concession on MS Tweaks Ill-Received Licensing Plan · · Score: 4, Funny

    Finally, Microsoft makes a concession we knew had to happen at some point.
    Now to wait for the "Linux is much better than Windows" concession...

  3. Re:New American currency, this year. on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    That's my thought, too. Ignorant people who don't remember the old bills may think those are counterfeit, thereby slowing down purchases and being much of a hassle. It's the same way with the security at airports. Have we really caught more "terrorists" with the new security? I doubt it.

    Introducing a new bill every 7 years will probably not hinder counterfeiting, but make life more of a hassle.

  4. Re:1 more cluster.....and I'm gonna on Playstation 2 Linux Cluster at NCSA · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cluster fuck. Happy now?

  5. What's next? on Office-Hour Habits of the North American Professor · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't wait to see the documentary of the North American Professor on the Discovery Channel, even though it would probably be the most boring thing ever aired.

  6. Re:Actually.. on Microbes Pass Valuable Gas · · Score: 1

    What about storage space for these tops? Two-car garages aren't enough for most people, so imagine having to store two or three tops along with two cars? A good idea, otherwise. The only reason our family has three cars is so we can have an SUV. I hope to hear more on this in the future.

  7. Re:Actually.. on Microbes Pass Valuable Gas · · Score: 1

    What about storage space? Two car garages aren't enough for most people, so imagine having to put two or three chassis in with two cars. It just wouldn't fit. It's a good idea, otherwise. The only reason our family has three cars is so we can have an SUV, so this would free up a car. I hope to hear more on this in the future.

  8. Not for me. on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe 5 years ago, I would've agreed with this, but now I don't. To me, it seems the main reason of "banning cars" is to make the environment cleaner. But with these new fuel cell cars and electric/gas hybrids, cars will be emission free soon. This idea doesn't really do it for me.

  9. Why is it always rats? on Hybrid Robot Uses Rat Brain · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Whatever happened to the stereotypical guniea pigs? I think we should put their brains in robots, and see what happens.

  10. Another aid... on Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...for all those n00bs who can't get past the first level... easy GameFAQs access!

  11. The next fruit to try. on Energy from Grapes · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If we can get this much from grapes, why not try lemons next? We can already get energy from lemons using a nail or two, so with this method we should get a LOT of energy from them.
    Just a thought.

  12. Very interesting... on Falling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron · · Score: 1

    I can only think of how far the probe would go... I doubt it would go all the way to the centre of the Earth, but still, this looks like an interesting step for geology.
    Much like giving the Earth a suppository, really.

  13. Obvious? on Slashback: Hippocampus, Matter, Blogs · · Score: 1

    Of course it doesn't help Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative. It was doomed from the start, what with a name that had "Microsoft" and "Trustworthy" right next to each other.

  14. Re:Hell yeah, detonate 'em! on Destroying Nuclear Weapons with High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    I was originally worried about this... finding a military use for this to blow up other people's stockpiles.

    In other words, nuclear weapons become a big liability, especially if they're in your territory and near your troops, which they almost certainly will be.

    I agree with that, and if we built this it might make leaders consider the idea of getting rid of nukes worldwide. You can tell I'm sort of a peace advocate.

  15. I think I'll complain now. on Cornucopia Of Spam Bills · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Any company I've done business with in the past three years? Does that mean that old gas station I stopped at in the middle of Kansas once is going to send me e-flyers? What is the world coming to?

  16. Another stride toward peace on Destroying Nuclear Weapons with High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    I'm happy to see further exploration of the destruction, and not construction, of nukes. I do hope they can fix the minor snafu of possibly setting the nukes off. Give it five years, we'll be onto something bigger than nukes anyway.

  17. Looks nice. on 3D Computer Generated Movie From France · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It certainly looks cool. The French outshine themselves again. I just hope the fact that it's French doesn't put people off.
