  1. Only mathematicians... on Mathematicians Team Up To Close the Prime Gap · · Score: 0

    Only mathematicians would prefer a closer thigh gap...
    ...oh, wait. Never mind.

  2. someone needs to get to sci.math... on Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug · · Score: 0

    ...and bring this to JSH's attention. after all, he was able to solve FLT so easily - he should be able to figure out the details of this for MS in no time.

  3. Re:A la Bash.org on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 0

    i got my copy of xp back when i was a freshman or soph in college (for six bucks no less through my university's student software program), so around the 2000/2001 years. i have installed this copy of xp probably 30 times on a bevy of machines. at first i had to talk to some dude in an indian call center but i was never really hassled at all, they just made with the activation code after i made up some bull crap reason why i was trying to validate again. now, it's all automated. you just sit on the phone for 7-8 minutes typing these long ass codes in. not really that big of a deal in my opinion.

    They'd better hope they don't ever antagonize the horn...

  5. fast forward on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 0

    I'd be willing to pay this much per if the Wii's emulation SW is capable of fast forward - which in, IMO, one of the most bitchinest features of modern emulators.

    Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has a net worth that could be as low as $2,000. Wikipedia

  7. Re:If Dvorak is right on John Dvorak's Eight Signs MS is Dead in the Water · · Score: 0
    As they say around here, "a broken clock is right twice a day".

    Not necessarily the case - what if the reason the clock is broken is because all of its hands have been broken off? What if it (the clock) has been broken into a billion pieces?

  8. Re:There is no such thing as bad publicity on Developers React To 'Wii' · · Score: 0

    A nice car definitely doesn't a personality make, but one sure as fuck can complement. Speak once you know what you're talking about.

  10. so is rodeo... on Jack Thompson Tossed Out Of Court · · Score: 0

    ...rodeo has competitions, i'm sure it's difficult, and i bet you hurt like hell after getting the shit kicked out of you by a pissed off bull. car racing probably fits those criteria as well. that being said, neither of those things are sports.

  11. Clinton must love the whole BJ thing... on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 0

    Clinton probably loves the fact that people most remember the "big scandal." Distracts from his treasonous role with respect to transfer of high-level defense technologies to the Chinese.

  12. Re:dumb mod.. if it was on 1 how can it be overrat on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 0

    Starting at 1 is a rating in and of itself (look at my initial rating, for example). If I see a post at 1 (or even 0, for that matter) and I feel that rating is ovverrated, I *will* mod it as such.

  13. Re:dumb mod.. if it was on 1 how can it be overrat on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 0

    Probably because the mod thought it should be at 0 or -1.

    Indeed.

  20. Wha? on Lucasfilms Nixes Star Wars Live Screening · · Score: 1
    This brings up the question are parodies fair use? And if so, should copyright holders be allowed to order people not to parody their work?
    How does the second question follow the first at all? If parodies are indeed fair use, copyright holders can bitch all they want - fair use is fair use.
  21. Re:Damn! on Hurricane Threatens Shuttle Program · · Score: 1
    You are so right, it's time to send man to the Sun!
    Bob Green has plans to send a manned mission to the Sun in the Spring, departing from the Bonneville Salt Flats. You can't go during the summer as the Sun is simply too hot. At the same time, you don't want to go during the winter b/c you want the Sun to be hot enough to get some good data. Mr. Green has a craft which is capable of flying well over a million miles an hour. He is also in possession of a solution which, once consumed, will make it impossible for him and his crew to burn, enabling them to wander around the surface of the sun at will. Be sure to check Slashdot in the spring for updates on his historic flight.

    Whoever modded me troll here is a fool. Like the other guy graciously pointed out, I was simply trying to correct a mistake.

    Don't worry, China is going to be the next world power, very shortly. Few see it coming, but it's coming.
    Few see it coming? Nonsense. A simple Google search will turn up numbers on China's recent economic growth that makes this ridiculously obvious. Anyone who has taken any time whatsoever to think about which nation will be the next world power has almost certainly come to the same conclusion that you have regarding China.

    Sorry, dude, but have never had anyone I've shown firefox to complain about the ways it's different from IE. Office you may have a point about, though about 85% of companies don't need MS Office and don't use most of its features.
    Sorry, dude, but sounds like you pulled that 85% figure right out of your ass. If not, I'd be interested to see where that statement comes from. Care to cite your source on that one?
