  1. ATI's reply on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 5, Funny

    nVidia: Our new DirectX 11 GPUs are able to support six monitors simultaneously.
    ATI: Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you.

    Six used 19" LCDs for 20$ each?

    I'm still using a single 17" LCD, you insensitive clod!

    (cue follow-up reply with "I'm still using a 14" CRT you insensitive clod")

    Robot Chicken changed that line into a whole new meaning.

  4. Change the solubility of heavy metals on Bacteria Used To Make Radioactive Metals Inert · · Score: 4, Funny

    The bacteria Wall is studying are bio-corrosives and can change the solubility of heavy metals.

    So... they can convert heavy metal into liquid metal? How long until we can buy that on iTunes?

    Forget about the nano, they already have one in the iPhone, which is already filled with more hardware for the phone part!

    I wouldn't be surprised if in a few days we learn that because of contracts with phone carriers, the iPod touch has to lag in features two years behind the iPhone...

  6. Re:What an innovative price cut! on Apple Announces iTunes 9, "LPs," Video Camera For the iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    It's the sound you make when you arrive at the cash register and realize you don't have enough to pay for an iPod?

  7. Re:Only three bits? on Why Anonymized Data Isn't · · Score: 1

    For values of "all" equal to or less than 8, to index a table...

    Read what I replied to (quoted again above). You can't fit the value "8" into three bits. Yes there is 8 elements, but they start from zero and go up to seven.

  9. Do they really support the Mac? on Does Your College Or University Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    Or are they just simply supporting the Mac version of Office? What happens if you want to use iWork or OpenOffice instead?

  11. Re:Only three bits? on Why Anonymized Data Isn't · · Score: 1

    I think you mean equal to or less than 7. You forgot to count zero.

  12. Only three bits? on Why Anonymized Data Isn't · · Score: 4, Funny

    [researcher Latanya Sweeney] showed that 87 percent of all Americans could be uniquely identified using only three bits of information: ZIP code, birthdate, and sex.

    Holy hell forget about that anonymized data crap, I want to learn how she can compress that much data into three bits!

  13. Paul Ohm? on Why Anonymized Data Isn't · · Score: 4, Funny

    Paul Ohm's recent paper is an elaboration of what Ohm terms a central reality of data collection: "Data can either be useful or perfectly anonymous but never both."

    Great, another Ohm's law to learn.

    Soldier #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
    Soldier #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
    Soldier #1: But then of course African swallows are non-migratory.
    Soldier #2: Oh, yeah...
    Soldier #1: So, they couldn't bring 4GB of call centre data logs anyway...

    They can't really lower their prices when 25 to 50% of the profits probably go to Hollywood for the tie-ins.

    Dude, this is a conversation about Lego. You can't just go on and on about using actual army gear when playing as a kid and not expect an off-topic mod...

    And I believe I still owned some Legos back then.

    Okay then, never mind.
