  1. Re:Money on Pitcher-Turned-Law Student On Cheating In Baseball · · Score: 1

    Maybe not, but it will get you an extra $1M on your next contract if you're a baseball player.

  2. Re:Money on Pitcher-Turned-Law Student On Cheating In Baseball · · Score: 1

    In the pros, cheaters get to sit a few games. That's not much punishment when they can still be making $10M+ a year.

  3. Re:It only makes sense on California Bill Would Mandate Open Access To Publicly Funded Research · · Score: 2

    The researchers who want exclusivity don't have to take public money then.

  4. Re:Search engines on Google's View On the Whac-a-Mole of Blocking Pirate Sites · · Score: 1

    They could call it google +

  5. Re: Pretty, but is it real? on Interpreting Global Flight Maps · · Score: 2

    Which makes an interesting point.

    Are the graphs flight-based or people-based? And which one is more relevant?

  6. Re:journalism on Apple Leaves Journalists Jonesing · · Score: 1

    $20 million in revenue is generated overnight

    They're already making more than that without celebrities.

  7. Re:VirtualBOX on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 1

    If one VM can access ALL of the CPU or disk, then it's a very poor environment.

    No sane sysadmin would set it up like that. And a good VM mgmt tool wouldn't let you easily.

  8. Re:VirtualBOX on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 2

    A nice forkbomb in a single VM can cause headaches for the rest of the environment.

    Then it's a very poor environment.

    We're talking about one or many classes of students. If it's not built out to handle several VMs using their max CPU concurrently, then it's a very poor environment.

    Heck, everyone compiling at the same time would shut things down if the environment is built poorly.

  9. Re:Network Security on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 1

    running a forkbomb in a VM would have no effect at all on the VM host.

    Well, if all the VMs run a forkbomb it might. Students do plan things like that once in a while. Like right before the start of class.

  10. Re:Safety? on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 1

    Not even root on some of your examples.

  11. Re:Why don't businesses get it? on PayPal Denies Teen Reward For Finding Bug · · Score: 1

    The squirrel pulled the release on the trebuchet when the bikini model sat in the launch chair.

  12. Re: Something It Isn't on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 1

    incidental video capture, creepy stalking, and physical assault are all widely separated on the scales of acceptability.

    And there's your answer to the headline.

  13. Re:Popcorn time! on Predicting IQ With a Simple Visual Test · · Score: 0

    Apparently, the anonymous coward has a reading comprehension issue.

    from the article:
    "people with higher IQ scores were faster at catching the movement of the bars when observing the smallest image."

    I doubt the AC saw anything.

    What if it snapped at 77 tons?

    Business service is almost the same price anyways.

    Get off the crack, dude.

    It's not lying if he broke the ToS.

    And, no, 'great for games' does not mean hosting a bunch of servers.

  17. Re:An easy solution on A Cold Look at Cold Fusion Claims: Why E-Cat Looks Like a Hoax · · Score: 1

    Because the Scientologists scare them.

    You can't read very well, can you?
    I said taxes are a large part of the problem, not THE problem.

    Do you know how much spending has gone up under recent Republican presidents?
    Debt under Reagan went from $1T to $3T
    Bush, Sr went from $3T to $5T
    Bush, Jr went from $6T to $10T

    Percentage-wise, Republicans grow the debt much more than Democrats.

  25. Re:Backward compatibile on Microsoft Unveils Xbox One · · Score: 1

    Because most people put more money into buying games than buying consoles.

    Why not sell your old console to put money towards the new console?

    Oh, because all those discs you have lying around would be worthless.
