  1. -5 offtopic on What The Net is Doing to You · · Score: 1
    The use of AD is discriminitory against all
    non-christian faiths.


    Your comment has nothing to do with the topic.

  2. Arduin Grimoire on Dave Arneson Talks About Helping Create D&D · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Just need to mention David A. Hargrave's works, all the cool DMs at the time were using them.

    google says here and here.

  3. a somewhat inconsequential topic to everyday life on Toilet Paper Algorithms · · Score: 1

    not

  4. Yes. Word has a terribly steep learning curve. on Microsoft and the U.S. School System · · Score: 1

    Requires at least 4 years of public eduacation to even master the basics.

    What is this crap software?
    What is it supposed to do?

  5. Stargate SG-1 so-so movie, better series on Andromeda · · Score: 2

    Like, with trek, how many nose and forehead prosthetics can we dream up? Plots good for one sitting.

    Andromeda's not bad. Different feel without the intellectual depth of Zena. [grin]

    I guess sg's cool because the good guys don't have the technical advantage and have to scrap it out. Just like real people. The cultural diversity (alien species) angle is handled way better, more variety, more depth and always a sense that there's more to an alien society than what can be told in a single episode ... open ended, nothing canned.

    I guess that's a good point too, about serialized dramas. The set up needs to be such that enables the writers to tell a variety of stories.

    Another nice thing about stargate is that they aren't stuck on some damn spaceship forever.

  6. Not really interested on Protein Music · · Score: 1

    would prefer more advanced stuff, algorithmic composition, aritficial intelligence and electronic music.

    The linked article doesn't cover how the DNA pattern is represented as sound, how the sequence is mapped to a set of pitches. Given the limited combination of four values, my knee-jerk reaction is that a straight representation of a sequence would be musically boring.

    But then, it's not really supposed to be music, it's supposed to be a graphic representation, a chart.

    I think it would be more cool if someone dug up some info on holographic audio representation of earthquake phenomena.

  7. do what the cops in Santa Barbara do on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 1

    with the real homeless .. give the dotters a one way bus ticket out of town.

  8. agreed on Photogenics 4.5 Beta For Linux Released · · Score: 1

    Seemed nice at first, but the area in which i could paint began shrinking, meaning i was only able to paint on a smaller box within the origional, the rest being unchanged. Also when I cropped the image i wound up with something of infinite heighth that was confused on what to display..finally just taking my wallpaper image
    onto the canvass. Too bad.

  9. I dig into .Xdefaults all the time on Is X The Future? · · Score: 1

    That's all I have to say.
