  1. Re:Oh the humanity! on Volunteer to Simulate a Mars Mission for the ESA · · Score: 1

    Nice Robot Chicken reference.

  2. Re:Chinese Education Reforms & Conundrum on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Communism only fails because human nature is in conflict with it. It is a perfect form of government for perfect people. Too bad there are none around. Capitalism thrives because people are greedy, ambitious, proud, or all of the above.

  3. Re:Oddly enough... on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 1

    A slightly more liberal policy was given by my second manager. "I won't watch the clock if you don't." Great policy, but it only works for the non-neurotic among us. Anyone here qualify?

  4. Are you working to live or living to work? on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 1

    Are you working to live or living to work? My advice depends on your reply.

  5. Re:Oddly enough... on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 1
    Same here. I work for the telcom industry. I have kept the "I have a life" policy through the telcom bust at no cost to my career.

    Grow a backbone or join a union.

  6. Re:In contrast on FCC May Push Bells to Unbundle DSL · · Score: 1

    I would certainly hope that Deutsche Telekom DSL is cheaper than Baby Bell DSL. Germany (you) own 43% of it! Also, I'm no financial wizard, but it appears that DT is barely breaking even.

  7. Oh no, how will I know if... on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 1

    ...it is raining outside?

  8. Re:No on How Cheap Can A PC Be? · · Score: 1

    "Even for word processing"??? Um, word processing amazingly pre-dates 486 processors. I'm not saying that the $100 PC should be =486 processors.

  9. First quantum OS on German Scientists Create 5 qubit Quantum Register · · Score: 4, Funny

    Should the first quantum OS be M$ or Linux? :) I like to watch people argue about OS's. Makes me smile.

  10. Re:Madeline L'Engle's 'A Wind in the Door'? on The Sound of Cells · · Score: 1

    Omg, that is strange. Both the book and that it got commented on /.

  11. Does the article contradict itself? on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 2, Funny
    A socially inept geek has a published story? Infantile, escapist geeks are mainstream?

    Are we sure this isn't a bitter jock turned gym teacher who is upset that the guy he bullied in high school is Bill Gates?

  12. Re:cartooney on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1

    That's what I was thinking. Maybe they will adjust it after getting feedback from the trailer. Wouldn't it be nice if you could tweak the CGI yourself? I mean after all... ::trivializing part of a multi-billion dollar industry:: ...it's just color, isn't it?

  13. Re:cartooney on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1

    Agreed. At least match the costume's non-CGI red to the CGI red. The CGI red is distractingly brighter than the non-CGI.

  14. Re:Mistaken covert messages? on Hidden Messages in Spam · · Score: 1

    Still, I would think the probability of getting mixed messages would be too high for sensitive information... especially for #2. Maybe a short list of very strange sentences would make it unique enough.

  15. Mistaken covert messages? on Hidden Messages in Spam · · Score: 1

    With the volume of spam, how does a covert agent know he is getting a hidden message from his source? I thought my job was boring. Can you imagine weeding through all the spam because you are looking for a hidden message?

  16. Re:Too many choices?? Hardly on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: 1

    Exactly, Mr Slippery. So-called fascism for average Joe with a WELL-HIDDEN capitalist feature for experts.

  17. Re:Too many choices?? Hardly on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: 1

    "Sounds like fascism"? Hardly. The average user is not buying hardware and software. The average user is buying the ability to email and play solitaire.

    You want a comparison? How about going to a car dealership and having them ask you whether you want your interior molding fastened with plastic screws, snap-locks, or metal bolts.
