  1. Re:The most used ten chords on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    Well, where would Axl Rose's voice fall?

  2. Re:I blame on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    I can hear the bass just fine on Pulling Teeth.

  3. Re:I blame on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    #3 only works to some extent. I'd much rather listen Eric Clapton covering Robert Johnson than a Robert Johnson recording because the Clapton recording is better preserved.

    Was this really Lars being an idiot? I heard it was an intentional act of hazing.

  5. Re:The most used ten chords on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1
  6. Re:The most used ten chords on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    Taking metal songs and covering them as metal? Barely interested. Now taking classical music and turning it into death metal seems more interesting.

  7. Re:The most used ten chords on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    What? I can't hear you. You'll have to speak louder if you want to be heard over this music.

  8. Re:The most used ten chords on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 4, Funny

    In other words, due to old age you are unable to hear the higher frequencies that pop-metal singers squeal at.

  9. Re:Isn't it ironic on Two More HIV Patients Now Virus-Free Thanks To Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 2

    Sounds more like starting smaller fires in order to control a much larger fire.

  10. Re:Problem: DirectX lock-in on Why Valve Wants To Port Games To Linux: Because Windows 8 Is a Catastrophe · · Score: 1

    Why can't the same be done for Linux?

  11. Re:Hundreds of dollars a year for mobile broadband on 16GB Nexus 7 Sold Out On Google Play Store · · Score: 1

    Do you know how much we're charged for data in the US? Much cheaper to simply pay extra for the extra storage. Plus there are huge swaths of the US with absolutely no cellular coverage.

  12. Re:Snubbed on Staples Executive Outs Six New Kindle Fire Tablets · · Score: 2

    Okay that explains why I'm out of luck if I lose that hat that's kept me warm all winter in February.

  13. Re:There's a rumor going around on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    They have a hard time competing even at the local level. But when you start talking about wasting your vote, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. If nothing else by voting for a third party you're making the statement that democrat or republican it doesn't make a difference.

  14. Re:There's a rumor going around on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of non-psychopaths running for office. It's just that they're not very good at creating the bullshit that voters expect from their elected politicians.

  15. Re:There's a rumor going around on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    True. But you don't want to hire psychopaths as peons. If the low level employees are stealing from the company, what's left for the CEO to steal?

  16. Re:There's a rumor going around on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    Do all? No. In fact, a rather large percentage of the population are psychopathic, yet lead normal, non-violent lives.

    Figuring out who is a psychopath would probably have usefulness outside of just finding criminals. Probably don't want to hire a psychopath or marry one.

  17. Re:Really? on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    yes.

  18. Re:Really? on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Probably is bullshit. The twitter responses where compared to a survey. In other words they calibrated their instrument by simply asking people if they're a psychopath. Lets see, one of the most well known trait of psychopaths is their tendency to lie.

  19. Re:The elephant in the discussion on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    Huh? RMS and slashdot have always been critical of the apple. Just look at the comments RMS made after Steve Job's death.

  20. Re:Wouildn't his kids inherit his money anyway? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    So in other words, bragging rights.

  21. Re:Wouildn't his kids inherit his money anyway? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 4, Informative

    According to wired, the lawyers are working pro bono on this.

  22. Re:The chicken and egg problem all over again on Cat Parasite May Increase Risk of Suicide In Humans · · Score: 1

    The paper did not at all look at causation. Only correlation. The paper does mention that infection is not a random event so both the self-harm and infection could be caused by the same thing. Also I think I read somewhere that most infections come from undercooked meat.

  24. Re:The chicken and egg problem all over again on Cat Parasite May Increase Risk of Suicide In Humans · · Score: 1

    First off, the study only knew about diagnosed mental illnesses. Second off, what effect does economics have on this? What about things like iv drug use or nssi, things that can infect a person and are generally associated with a higher risk of suicide later on? I'm also doubting that those 2 things would show up on a persons medical record unless they where severe enough to require treatment.
