  1. Re:Some of us do still assemble, even now on The Technologies Changing What It Means To Be a Programmer · · Score: 1

    I see someone doesn't know about the trick modes. http://www.studiostyle.sk/dmag...

  2. Re:EIGHT weeks??? Nukes need to be more modular. on Gas Cooled Reactors Shut Down In UK · · Score: 1

    One imagines that sort of thing comes with using non-prehistoric reactor designs.

  3. Re:not big in UK on Gas Cooled Reactors Shut Down In UK · · Score: 1

    It's OK, AC will sort the chaos out.

  4. Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 on Long-Wave Radar Can Take the Stealth From Stealth Technology · · Score: 3, Funny

    There's a story that the USAF sent a stealth bomber to Farnborough airshow as part of the display. Apparently, the pilots were very surprised when Air Traffic Control got in touch to tell them they were doing the display over Farnham, 6 miles down the road.

  5. Re: Men are obsolete on Ancient Skulls Show Civilization Rose As Testosterone Fell · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that the main source of naysaying against feminism is the patriarchy?

    WHO KNEW?!

  6. Re:Men are obsolete on Ancient Skulls Show Civilization Rose As Testosterone Fell · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seemed like a step too far, but then they read the slashdot comments, and suddenly spermbanks seemed the more rational option.

  7. Re:How about just a good thermostat instead? on Nathan Myhrvold's Recipe For a Better Oven · · Score: 1

    Kenwood Cooking Chef - it's not magnetic, but it is induction. I've been lusting after one for a while, but with a high-end non cooking version already, it's hard to justify.

  8. Re:I think it's fine on Facebook's Emotion Experiment: Too Far, Or Social Network Norm? · · Score: 1

    Facebook uses psychology to make minor changes in our happiness, at the expense of our friends, destroying relationships

    FTFY. I know it's rare amongst /. readers, but I have friends that aren't the 5 fingers on my right hand, and if they're sad or upset, I fucking well want to know so I can be there for them and help them.

  9. Re:Love the gender examples on Average HS Student Given Little Chance of AP CS Success · · Score: 1

    No, they're targeting potential breeders, implying that a woman's place is at home, pumping out spawn. Hence the focus on part time and home working.

  10. Re:New OS? on HP Unveils 'The Machine,' a New Computer Architecture · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're redesigning so that it doesn't need one, at least not in the traditional sense?

  11. Re:Major Not on UK Seeks To Hold Terrorism Trial In Secret · · Score: 2

    9/11 compares to VE day. The problem is, the west is playing the role of Germany.

  12. Re:I call BS on Parenting Rewires the Male Brain · · Score: 1

    No True Not All Men?

  13. Re:I don't doubt it. on Parenting Rewires the Male Brain · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure all of those are classical symptoms of depression.

  14. Re:this is cool on Servo Stock 3D Printer Brings Closed-Loop Control To Reprap · · Score: 1

    You seem to have mistaken 3d printing for a cheap hobby. Given the price of a reel of filament, it's madness to cheap out on the machine itself.

  15. Re:Derp on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 1

    Conditioning only keeps my pink hair pink. Without washing it every few days, the loose dye builds up, and then can come off on hands, clothes, and sweat.

  16. Re:PH on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 1

    Or the increased pH level saponified the oil on you skin?

  17. Re:Derp on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 2

    Another alternative for hair is just to condition, not shampoo.

  18. Re:You can't image quantum on Mathematical Model Suggests That Human Consciousness Is Noncomputable · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I thought we were discussing realistic approaches, and not handwavy appeals to magic and pseudoscience. Oh wait, slashdot, nvm, carry on.

  19. Re:Memories do decay on Mathematical Model Suggests That Human Consciousness Is Noncomputable · · Score: 1

    The advantage with an AI is that it only has to grow up once, then you can image it.

  20. Re:But, but, but⦠autism!!1!11! on Polio Causes Global Health Emergency · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how vaccines always cause conditions that were mis- or undiagnosed in the past. Let me guess - vaccines cause ADHD, too?

    I've got tourettes, and my girlfriend has ADHD and aspergers, and whilst we're thankful our conditions aren't debilitating, we also cherish the positive aspects they bring to our lives.

  21. Re:the polio vaccine causes cancer on Polio Causes Global Health Emergency · · Score: 1

    Google "GNRH vaccine" - it's for boars, but it also works on humans. It might have *some* side effects.

  22. Re:Not so fast, Thermodynamic laws are pesky thing on 'Thermoelectrics' Could One Day Power Cars · · Score: 1

    Build deep thermally insulating foundations, pump the excess heat into the earth underneath the property, then use thermoelectrics to bleed it off and produce electricity at night when the photovoltaics won't work.

  23. Oh well. on UK Bans Sending Books To Prisoners · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess it's more important to keep the slaves in check, and the ministers looking good to the far right, than it is to rehabilitate the prisoners.

  24. Re:Protection from Deer Car accidents on Power Cables' UV Flashes Apparently Frighten Animals · · Score: 1

    You mean the same UV LEDs that burnout retinas if you look into them, those LEDs?

  25. It looks like a very nice library on Wolfram Language Demo Impresses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It looks like a very nice library.

    Doesn't really say very much about the power of the language at all, though.
