  1. Re:his argument seems flawed on Boston University Student Challenges RIAA · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd be okay with them copying my beer.

  2. Fitting Suit on Jailed Chinese Reporter Joins Yahoo! Suit · · Score: 1

    I believe personal liberty that does not directly stiffle another person's liberty is a good thing (TM). Change is needed across the globe to this end.

    Ideally, we would all like change to happen from within by awareness. There are repeated reports that governments attempt to stiffle awareness (maybe more so in China).

    Attempting to force change externally often does not increase awareness because abstractions are created which shifts focus away from the element trying to be changed.

    From this perspective, this lawsuit seems to directly target an element which I think needs to change. Not that Yahoo! needs to change, but might the lawsuit increase awareness within China?

  3. In Soviet Russia... on Polish Fans Held By Police For Movie Translations · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...the movies translate you.

  4. This is just silly. on Making Fingers Work With Touch Screens · · Score: 1

    Between calibration errors and finger size I've just learnt what size objects are worth fingering on my Toughbook screen. Only when dragging does the hand remain in the way - I typically use my nail with my palm facing me for precise placement in Visio or selection of text. If I have to take my hand off the keyboard then a quick tap on the screen can get the pointer within a few pixels. Precision on a small screen is no different - just less useful in general. Adaptive software seems a better avenue - think of how easy text selection is because of auto-word boundaries. Does anyone else find it difficult to use a touchpad one handed? How about for a drag operation?

  5. This is good news... on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    Windows has always bit off more than it could chew.

  6. Edgy Perception? on DARPA Working on Spidey Sense for Soldiers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I get the same effect from too much coffee.

  7. Re:Time to be constructive on New MySpace China Tells Users to Spy on Each Other · · Score: 1

    Honest open communication.

    (Unless your a highschool student and your teacher specifically requests it.)

  8. Connective Content... on The Solar Oxygen Crisis · · Score: 1

    Maybe, someone can clue in eveyone else on exactly how fundamental less oxygen is to particular theories? Do any of them just seem like crap now, or can all the numbers just be slashed to make the same point?

    I'd type more, but I'm already feeling like a highschool student transcibing my thoughts into a stream of consciousness journal. Offending single digit percentages of the population or less seems safe.

  9. Going into confusion... on Could Black Holes Be Portals to Other Universes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What would a blackhole going through a wormhole look like?

    (Or is that when the 503 error happens?)

  10. Re:Better article on Student Arrested for Writing Essay · · Score: 1

    Their actions are certainly going to foster open communication between students and teachers. Well, maybe only to further target disliked peers - certainly, not honest personal communication.

    How do limiting public forms of expression direct the culture? Is it like a magical guiding hand to create perfect people, or does it manifest the very forms sought to exclude.

  11. Re:Syntax, OS interfaces... on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 1
