    If Troi wanted command insights from me, she needn't turn on the Holodeck, laddie.

  5. Re:Arbitrary marketing decision on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    No, the [ColorOfChoice] screen of death should be replaced with the sunglasses in H2G2 that went black whenever sometng bad was about to happen. I was thinking blunt object head trauma. This would also help subsequent sales, as the users discrimination would be impaired.

    Hold off until he tries to demo his Magick Alternative and it bursts into flame.

    Why didn't somebody say something?

  10. Re:Dupe on Nuclear Fusion Discovered · · Score: 1

    This is a dupe of a dupe referring to a dupe of a dupe. By a dupe, of course.

  11. Re:Rice contracted WTF? on Rice Contracted to Provide NASA's Quantum Wire · · Score: 1

    And I was expecting broadband under Uncle Ben's smiling face. Oh, well.

  12. Re:MOD DOWN on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 1

    Love your spelling. Is "Thye" Middle English? Oh, wait, you're too smart for non-ghetto tongues. Sorry.

  13. Re:MOD DOWN on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 1

    Could not have POSSIBLY said it better myself. Thanks, amigo.

  14. Re:In the next exciting episode... on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 1

    Equus is horse. Morits is dead. Whipping a dead horse.

  15. Obligatory Bovine ref on U.S. Fed Goes Brand Neutral · · Score: 1

    That would be "MOO-cular" (as opposed to nukuler) You miserbable shaved biped.

  18. In the next exciting episode... on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...Enterprise is ordered to deliver a mysterious cargo labelled only "WHIPS" to the planet Equus Mortis.

  19. Doesn't that ... on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 1

    ...sort of take the "D" out of "DMZ"?

  20. Re:Nice but... on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, if Tesla had only overcome that pesky "Hair-and-teeth-falling-out-in-bloody-clumps" problem.

  21. Redundancy and genes on Plants May Be Able To Correct Mutated Genes · · Score: 1

    This is one of the core features of genes and gene pools. Back up, resistance to "shock" changes, etc. The fact that it happens on a mets-level is pretty much inevitable. Not that the mechanism isn't exciting, just re-inforces the basic model.

  22. Re:Semi Offtopic on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 1

    Thanks. The auto-install kicks on everytime I click a pdf file. The file associations don't seem to be affected

  23. Semi Offtopic on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 1

    What the frack is the MS "Journal Reader" and how do I murder it? I can't read PDF files any more after an autoinstall that has more lives than the god-damned mummy

  24. Re:A timeline is emerging? on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Economists call it "Marginal Propensity to Consume." Just think Field of Dreams. "If you build it, they will come."

  25. Emergent Personality on Household Emergent Behavior? · · Score: 1

    What we call individuality is the interaction of components that results in unplanned but consistent behavior. Although the complexity of say, a car, and a human nervous system differs by orders of magnitude, they both take on properties that are completely unique. This is particularly true when the mechanism is adapting to external events. That combined with the "contagious" properties of the user's behavior, would allow for something that is indistinguishable from a natural personality. I'll buckle in for the Hard vs. Soft AI debate now.
