  1. Re: 64-bit BS on Why Apple Went 64-Bit With the iPhone 5s · · Score: 1

    Dude, you do realize that switching the biggest community of mobile apps, their kazzilion apps and customers cannot be done in a week, right? Also, you seem to dwell on the "not yet" part. Almost like you"re angry it already happened. Are you with google's android marketing department?

  2. Yes, a computer would have owned him. Not like the 300k type-writers that he fixed till his dyeing day. And only if his grand father wouldn't have told him that those damn machines will end up eating his soul...

  3. Re: *yawn* on Internet Infrastructure for Everyone · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's what out sounds like. This must be one of the most confusing summaries ever. This is not about Chrome, or something being ported to the browser. That part about the web services being available for everyone basically exploded everything to nonsense.

  4. Re:no math? on Could Humanity Really Build 'Elysium'? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, looks like you missed some math yourself.
    Extension cords to plug all those 3d printers in up there in orbit would raise the price of all this to ... (tap-tap-tapity-tap): 1323.5 billion!
    Your plan is very unrealistic.

    ...3d printers just got 200% more expensive

    I don't think "the only possible way" means what you think it does.

    Yes, and also the T in MIT stands for "technology".

  10. Re:Really Interesting on Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease · · Score: 1

    Hmm, wouldn't that be true if we were all just cloned?
    Since our DNA is decided the moment the sperm enters the ovule and the 2 parents' DNA mixes, I guess we're bound to be diverse, right? But my dilemma is about where will we draw the line about syndromes and people who just have "very long fingers". Because they will actually be identified by a faulty "something".

  11. YES! So you've read it too???

  12. Someone just thinks "a decade" means "a lot of time".

  13. Re:Really Interesting on Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease · · Score: 2

    This is exactly what I was saying above, that a lot of the aesthetic traits we find pleasing (or not) might prove to be small malfunctions of all sorts of bits and pieces in the whole genetic process.
    And as the technology gets cheaper and more accessible those bits and pieces we can identify become even smaller and more subtle and the genetic expression of those bits of pieces will be stuff we don't even consider malfunctions now but just variance.

  14. Re:Phenotipyc variance on Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease · · Score: 1

    That was what I was trying to say: that once this gets really easy to check for, those things might prove a "mulfunction" of a certain gene or genetic process.
    I never said that THOSE traits were malfunctions, read again.
    But you had to be a smart-ass, didn't you?

    I wonder what gene made you do that... Was it passed on by your mother or was that just bad education from her part?

  15. Phenotipyc variance on Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm starting to think that in the following decades we will discover and categorize more and more syndromes like this.
    With technology becoming cheaper and easier to use, from genetic lab equipment to computers I guess we will discover that various individuals diverge from the otherwise "normal" genetic make-up.
    We might find the tolerance for faults in the genetic mechanism is higher than previously thought and features such as big eyes, long fingers,big hips, small breasts etc will start to be pinpointed to a single gene, protein or step malfunctioning and producing (semi)benign traits.
    The line between benign and malign variance will be very blurry.

  16. This can be made even more general and confusing! on Google Preparing "Google Mine" For Organizing and Sharing Your Stuff On Google+ · · Score: 1

    It looks like Google tries to make G+ even more confusing. They seem panicked in finding something to up Facebook. I have a suggestion, call it Google Everything. We know that's coming anyway, right? So let's tattoo our G+ ID as barcode on our arms or foreheads and get it done with.

    This is what I mean. Free speech is one thing ( expressing an opinion using speech, clothes, drawings etc). But if a system is put in place by a school for whatever reasons (and I'm sure they can easily prove increased eficiency of various administrative activities by using these tags) and you choose to not follow it I could call that undue interruption.
