  1. Won't make dinosaurs on Ancient Cave Bear DNA Extracted and Decoded · · Score: 1

    La-de-freaking-duh. Dinosaur DNA is more than three orders of magnitude older than neanderthal. A totally different probelm of acquisition and re-sequencing.
    Read The Science of Jurassic Park: And the Lost World Or, How to Build a Dinosaur by Rob Desalle, David Lindley. Excellent breakdown of the tasks involved. Two bucks on Amazon.

  2. "Honey, I'll Always Love You" ... on Single Molecule Transistor A Reality · · Score: 1

    vs computers in your nose tomorrow. This stuff is a great substitute for romance. Promises and thrills, followed by qualifications, followed by overcomplexification, folowed by some jerkoff in a corvette figuring a way to keep it out of your hands. The possibilities are exciting just like eight track and Betamax (and those are just a couple of media examples.) The real future is in the unexpected.

  3. Re:I WONDER on Single Molecule Transistor A Reality · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it invites a shitload of redundancy.

  4. In my best Connery brogue on Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi Nuke' · · Score: 1

    "I'm telling you Indie, the damned Nazi's are working on sme kind of Super Bomb.

  5. Re:razor on Cell phones as Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Cell phone, that is.

    ASCII no questions, I'll tell you no lies.

  7. Re:Voice from the past on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 1

    Well, no. You can objectively measure how non-stnadrd behavior is measured (size of mental hospitals, euthanasia, etc.) You distcinction between pain and anvil is specious. My statement equates them. With that tool, the reader is left to sort out the meaning for him/her/its self (with appropriate sophistric grunts and self righteous moans.)

  8. Voice from the past on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 1
    My cultural Anthro mentor, Dr. Jim Kelly used to say "You can measure how advanced a culture is by how it treats its deviants. Putting the Cheyenne a couple of millenia ahead of the good ole U S of A."
    Mr. Spock: "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations."
    No Diversity = No Adaptability = Extinction

    Probably well deserved. Pain is the anvil on which life is forged. Accept it, or find an alternative.

  9. Re:D'oh on Keep Fit Program For The Brain · · Score: 1

    Self-abuse is a God-given right. Damn the hairy palms and blindness, full (or fool) speed ahead.

  10. Is it just me... on IBM and Red Hat Offer College Prep · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or is this another fusillade in the eternal IBM vs M$ war? As far as Big Blue is concerned, Linux is just cannon fodder.

  11. Theme Song on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 1

    Bill Murray singing "Flame Wars, they called them Flame Wars, tra-la-la-la."

  12. Re:Darwin Award winners? on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shouldn't that be "Hall of Flame"?

  13. The real crime... on Google Map Hack & Chicago Crime Data · · Score: 1

    "Server found alive after being mercilessly buried by slasdotters."

  14. Re:Once again on VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree more. Just complaining about the mechanism used to realize the capitalist (wet) "dream."

  15. Re:I miss on Technology Paradise Lost · · Score: 1

    I call those "info-grenades." Room for ambiguity, misinterpretation, exposure of ignorance and bias. I do love to get the pot boiling.

  16. Once again on VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service · · Score: 1

    Antecdote and tantrum dictates the law of the land.

  17. I miss on Technology Paradise Lost · · Score: 2, Funny

    when they used to do the predictions with an envelope in their hand turban on their heads... Oh, wait..

  18. Re:Pay for an opinion? on NY Times Op-Ed Page Goes Subscriber-Only · · Score: 1

    OK, that's it, you go on my friends list. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those mothers....

  19. Re:Pay for an opinion? on NY Times Op-Ed Page Goes Subscriber-Only · · Score: 1

    The second I hit return, I knew that was coming. Thanks for restoring my faith in nature, human and otherwise.

  20. Pay for an opinion? on NY Times Op-Ed Page Goes Subscriber-Only · · Score: 1

  23. Don't you hear it? on Washington State Outlaws Spyware · · Score: 1

    All the malware sceeching to an ignoble stop in the Great Greeen Northwest.

  24. John Houston had it right. on Selling Your Attention to Spammers · · Score: 1

    Herr Van Alstyne needs to watch Chinatown. Grandiosities like his get hammered flat on the anvil of the internet as do the promises of everything from a super phallus to a renovated political systems dissipating like fog in the morning sun. "It's OK, Jake, it's Chinatown."

    True, until they come up with one for Meterology.
