  1. Re:Insulting... on USAF Studies Teleportation · · Score: 1

    Spock's World is completely incompatable with "Star Trek: Fisrt Contact". Hence, it is not part of the series. Not that it isn't worth reading.

    What's with the "Princess Bride" reference?

    Whoops. Slow down cowboy! Read the post before you click submit. Insert more junk for lameness filter's pleasure.

    This is too long to make a real poll. If it was reduced to just a few choices, there would be "insensitive coward" chaos.

    Yeah, realy, why aren't all the first few posts flames at the editors?

  8. The other real question is... on SBC and Microsoft to Provide HDTV Over IP · · Score: 1

    How much would it cost to serve video at those speeds? How many clients could connect to a server without losing quality? Would it be possible for independent media to afford the equipment for this service?

    Some of the obscure browsers and operating systems may be spoofed to confuse any attackers.

    Perhaps the author is implying that the parallel between genetic and social bonds is colapsing?

  11. Re:A ham sandwich can ... - not unfair on Can Power Point Prejudice Juries? · · Score: 1

    It's not unfairly singled out, because none of those other things have to do with "News for Nerds" except perhaps wookies.

    Really, pick your battles, will you?

  13. Re:Does it work properly/completely with Opera yet on Gmail Adds Features · · Score: 1

    "I've found it to be more stable than Firefox, if not as full featured"

    What on earth happened to the accusations of bloat? I've never heard anyone complain about missing features from Opera, except perhaps lack of support for MathML, and that was me complaining. As for stability, I have found that Opera fairly often when fed very bad HTML. I'm using 7.53. It also has some bugs, like making duplicate emails.

    Before you flame me, I'd like to say that Opera IS my browser of choice, but I like Gecko based systems too. (Especially for reading pages that use MathML)

  14. Six hours reading slashdot. on Coping with Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    Anyone who spends six hours a day reading slashdot must read slow, or read things more than once.

  15. Re:an observation about the OSS crowd on E-bike E-xperiences? · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just browse at +5?

    J/K, Please don't flame.

  16. Re:Reader Reviews on Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse? · · Score: 1

    I think that reviews had better be kept to a seprate slashcode site. We wouldn't want the editors to attempt another color scheme! Seriously, you could start one. Or use scoop. Or write a new system.

  17. More on the Two Party System on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 1

    Do you feel that you have to make your own views more moderate to get any attention? Would your statements relating to any issues be more extreme if you knew it would not hurt your party and share of the vote?

  18. Re:Firefox on Will Google Launch A Browser? · · Score: 1

    Fixed link: **better** browser

    The Linux version, of course.

  19. Pupil Tracking on Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" · · Score: 1

    I am aware of a device available for the severly disabled that uses lasers to track the movement of the eyes. It then creates text, from which voice is synthesized. This could be adapted for both mouse and keyboard input to computers.

  22. It IS designed to educate. on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    the school system cannot be fixed, Gatto asserts, because it has been designed not to educate.

    The school system is designed to provide a Renesance erra education. Most changes since the that period to education have been superficial. Our system was excelent at that time.

  23. Re:Getting Maried Bad for Math? on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 1

    Not my claim. The article also gave counter examples (like Andrew Wiles). It compared the exceptions to career criminals, who continue to steal even when they don't need to.

  24. Getting Maried Bad for Math? on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 1

    It's well known that mathematicians and scientists are less productive past the age of 40 or so. The conventional wisdom is that they are simply getting old, but one article in Science News indicated that perhaps maried scientists were less productive, just like many criminals reform when they get maried. Perhaps Grigori Perelman knows this. One problem with my suggestion: The mechanism suggested by the article was that scientists are motivated by "babes" and that once they are maried they don't need more. So if Grigori is intentionally lying low, his carreer should still end.

  25. I want to know if it will be visible with the... on Supernova Imaged by Hubble Telescope · · Score: 2, Interesting

    naked eye. That would be unusual. Has it reached it's peak brilliance yet? I know that takes several days.
