    Gee, I guess Einstein never thought of that...

  2. Re:Unfortunately, CRT is still the best for gaming on Atari Emulation of CRT Effects On LCDs · · Score: 1

    Look at graphs of beat length variance of skilled drummers.

    I'll be sure to do that...

  3. Re:Why so long? on NASA Moon Launch May Be Delayed After 2020 · · Score: 1

    BINGO!

  4. Re:Units? on Next-Gen Nuclear Power Plant Breaks Ground In China · · Score: 1

    The flux capacitor sucks 1.21 GW, not the other way around.

  5. Re:Do you work on weapons systems? on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 1

    I didn't say the the threat of nuclear war has gone away, I said we no longer need nukes to the same degree any more.

    I'm sure you would agree the threat of a major nuclear exhange is lower now than it was during the height of the cold war...

  6. Re:Do you work on weapons systems? on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 1

    No, the reason we don't need nukes to the same degree any more is because the Soviet machine broke down.

  7. Re:Do you work on weapons systems? on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 1

    I imagine you tell yourself that the weapons save American lives, protect our troops, defend our freedoms, etc, etc.

  8. Re:Begs the question on Academics To Predict Next Twitter and Its Pitfalls · · Score: 1

    Yeah, those faceborg drones are damned annoying with their tag tag tagging...

    Pentium 1 started at 60Mhz

  10. Re:why? on New Lossless MP3 Format Explained · · Score: 1

    Ok fair enough, the helicopter stapled to the back of the car uses the same steering wheel as the car...

  11. Ahhh TV on Why TV Lost · · Score: 1

    TV has warm glowing warming glow. Until computers can do that, TV has nothing to worry bout.

  12. Re:Mandated on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a pretty skilled undercover operative, flashing his badge at any stoned teenager in sight...

  13. Re:How do you give odds for that? on Race For the "God Particle" Heats Up · · Score: 1

    IANAM but i think division is more general than just "splitting something into groups". I can't imagine how one splits something into -1 groups, let alone say sqrt(-1) groups.

  14. Re:What is everyone drinking? on 1,234,567,890 Seconds Since Unix Time Began · · Score: 1

    Ardbeg whips Laphroaig.

  15. Re:Real question... on A Quantitative Study of How Memes Spread · · Score: 1

    ugh, those memes for pronouncing "meme" have been living next to a nuclear reactor or something...

  16. Re:Huh? on Darwinism Must Die So Evolution Can Live · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the author of that opinion piece appears to subscribe to theistic evolution, not creationism, hence his quote:

    I share the conviction of Simon Conway Morris, Professor of Evolutionary Palaeontology at the University of Cambridge: nature controls the course of evolution but convergence, implying a higher purpose, controls nature.

  17. Re:Why? on Family Dog Cloned, Thanks To Dolly Patents · · Score: 1

    It's true. Producers know this too. If they want to prove someone is a real cold blooded evil son of a bitch, they get the character to shoot a dog.

  18. Re:Blindness on A Step Toward an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    I presume they'd cut a couple holes where the eyes go.

    I do not like it Sam I Am.

  20. mmm on A Look Back At Kurzweil's Predictions For 2009 · · Score: 5, Funny

    His predictions might have been nearer the mark absent the war on terror.

    Oh I agree. His predictions may have been far more accurate had the future unfolded differently.

  21. Re:Good luck with that. on Volvo Introduces a Collision-Proof Car · · Score: 1

    The end result is, statistically on average, ABS has actually created more dangerous roads for the majority of the driving population.

    BS

  22. Re:Wow, evolution on Evolution of Intelligence More Complex Than Once Thought · · Score: 3, Funny

    What barriers do you propose might exist that prevent one ancestral population from diverging into two arbitrarily-different ones?

    If an individual strays too far genetically, God drops a rock on it.

  23. Re:Thank goodness on Scaling Facebook To 140 Million Users · · Score: 1

    deactivate != close

    A deactivated account still exists and can instantly be reactivated fully intact at any time.

  24. Re:Thank goodness on Scaling Facebook To 140 Million Users · · Score: 1

  25. Re:The source of the problem on Computer Models and the Global Economic Crash · · Score: 1

    The dollar is now less than 0.25% away from being free (i.o.w. worthless) money.

    It doesn't mean the dollar is worthless, it just means the exchange rate between the future and the present is approaching parity. I.e., no-one expects much to happen for a while...
