  1. no SOAP? on Alan Cox Given Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    well whoever said it... neither searched sorceforge - http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/

  2. Re:CD ViceVersaReversa on Coating Promises Scratch-Proof CDs, DVDs, LCDs · · Score: 1

    The label side becomes kind of useless if it's impervious to ink.

  3. Don't count on the bookstore for any good ideas... on Fiber To The Dorm Room · · Score: 1

    ...this is also the same bookstore that around 1996 offered to price match on every book in the store. Students walked in with web page printouts showing books at 10% of list and got some pretty big refunds. I also started CWRU in 1994, and whether it was ahead of the curve or not campus-wide doom and descent games were probably the fastest you could find at the time.

  4. Re:Computer Junkyards on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    ...just sell your broken laptop to akedia...

  5. What you need for happiness... on Has The Poincare Conjecture Been Solved? · · Score: 1

    'To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.' - Gustave Flaubert

  6. Re:Don't you hate that... on Has The Poincare Conjecture Been Solved? · · Score: 1

    I find myself often just asking questions rather than providing something meaningful... oh well: From the globe article: there is only one way to bend a two-dimensional plane into a shape without holes -- the sphere -- Now, I'm not trying to get any oh-wows but I see two basic ways to take a plane and turn it into a sphere... now I just need somebody to explain to me why they're the same. OK... so if you take a plane, you can stretch and bend to get a sphere, or you could stretch and bend to get the inverse of a sphere - a bubble I guess. Essentially, I'm making the distinction that a plane has only one side... so it follows that it should matter which way that side faces when you make the sphere. Let's try to short circuit the quick answer police's rebuttal that it's a sphere no matter how you make it by pointing out that the article says 'only one way'.

  7. Forget verification... how to catch it? on Longest Snake · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...it's probably so big from eating all the people that tried to catch it before... Some guy had to catch the thing... now assuming that it was only '20, possibly 30 feet' that's still a big freaking snake! You can't sing it to sleep; even if you do manage to sedate it with something imagine the _simple_ task of getting it into the back of a truck!

  8. Re:Well I worry about this one on Australia To Use GM To Control Carp · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't only the part of the population that carries the male-tendency gene die off? The remaining carp would simply rebound and we'll be back where we started.
