  1. Re:Fifty Percent... on The 12-minute Windows Heist · · Score: 1

    Nah, he's using President Bush's "Fuzzy Math".

  2. Re:Woah..... 7000 Seconds on Update on Project Prometheus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mmmm... Ion drive goodness.

  3. Re:Brayton cycle on Update on Project Prometheus · · Score: 1

    ...Xenon would be for the Ion thrusters there buddy.

  4. Re:For TV on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 1

    Think the x-wing series are much better choice.

    Right on.

  5. Re:I'm not up on US politics on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 1

    You'd think with all the hubub about campaign finance reform the republicans have been throwing up, they'd consider donations as a form of free speech. Oops, their hypocracy is showing.

  6. Re:This guy is on Going Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem · · Score: 1

    "Well, double dumbass on you!"

  7. Re:Isnt everybody? on Going Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem · · Score: 1

    I only use genuine Bush-brand Fuzzy Math(tm).

  8. Re:More importantly on Going Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem · · Score: 3, Funny

    We need to find some Weapons of Math Instruction...

  9. Re:Just a tad misleading... on Concert to be Performed from Beyond the Grave · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for polyphonic transcription. That, coupled with said nuance templates, and realistic sounding virtual instruments, would be awesome. Mixing and swapping musician's from various bands would be a neat way to pass the time.

  10. Re:The Plane capture (shadow) on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    I was looking at a different image because I'm a retard.

  11. Re:The Plane capture on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    I was referring to a different image. Whoopsi.

  12. Re:The Plane capture on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    You are probably correct. I was erroneously referring to a different photo of a plane.

  13. Re:The Plane capture on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Judging by the position, it looks like a shadow.

  14. Re:What? on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 1

    I suppose it will have been a success.

    Don't you mean "wioll haven be"?

  15. Re:Patents application on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 1

    I forget where I heard this, but it has been said that the number of viable chess positions outnumber the estimated number of atoms in the universe. Not sure if it is true, or how they came up with the number.

  16. Re:Sci-Fi channel redeems itself on Battlestar Galactica in HD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Personally, I think the new BG stays true to the orignal's intentions: A ragtag fleet fleeing from a relentless enemy trying to find Earth. The original just turned into a "oh, here's another space station/planet/whatever with problems, let's fix it and get on our way". In the new show, There's none of that. Just a ragtag fleet fleeing from a relentless enemy trying to find Earth.

    And no stupid "daggit".

  17. Re:They DON'T HAVE to accept all currency. on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    Two things:

    Best Buy didn't have a notice stating they would not accept $2 bills. Policies must be stated before a transaction or the contract can be nullified.

    He was charged for installation after the fact, thereby becoming a debt, as opposed to a service, allowing any legal tender to be used.

  18. Re:EXAMPLE: What is a first post? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, but asking the question, as opposed to the answer, reveals the correct result...

    Cleary, Google needs a Jeopardy feature:

    "Answer: 42"

    Or a punchline feature:

    "Punchline: 'Rectum? Damn near killed em!'"

    Maybe I can find the joke that punchline belongs too, finally...

  19. I don't know if the summary was edited... on Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...but it does say, "U.S scientists have designed a bionic eye to allow blind people to see again.", implying that said blind people had seen once before.

    It's possible that the summary said differently, but there's no "edited" note.

  20. Re:Queer eye for the... on A Different Way To Recycle Old PCs · · Score: 1

    Well, people on bash have stolen things from others, so I say it evens out. (I speak from experience)

  21. Re:Photons are massless on Scientists Weigh Smallest Mass Ever · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Photons are massless on Scientists Weigh Smallest Mass Ever · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A photon not "in transit" makes no sense. They have zero-rest mass, which doesn't say much, because they are never at rest. However, although they are massless, the do have momentum, determined by this equation.

    p=h*f/c

    h = is Plank's constant, f= frequency of the photon, and c = speed of light. Since h and c are constants, then the only thing the photon exchanges to transfer momentum is frequency. Weird.

  23. Re:Passwords?! on How the Secret Service Cracks Encrypted Evidence · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of an old Andy Griffith movie where he's joining the army, when he asks how to fill out the recruiting form, the recruiter tells him:

    "Last name first, first name, middle name last."

    His character proceeds to follow his instructions exactly, and writes his last name, then his first name, his first name again, and then his middle name, and finally his last name again.

  24. Re:Octopus! on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 1

    You sound like you need release.

    Squid Hunt.

    Coming Fall 2005 for PC.

    You've been warned.
