  1. Re:LEDs are definitely becoming more powerful on LED Evolution Could Spell The End For Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Your eyes aren't more sensitive to blue light. Human eyes are most sensitive to green, red, and then blue light (in that order).

  2. Re:I hope it's not for violence on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 1

    Install Acme::Bushisms and you will be able to see that my perl rebuttal is no more dangerous than our glorious leader!

  3. Re:Does Lucas want an PG13 on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hang on, hang on...PG is ADULT to your country?

    Shit, over here in Australia M15 is usually considered normal for kids!

  4. Re:The Dumbing-Down of America on Our Ratings, Ourselves · · Score: 1

    with an exception or two like American Idol, which thankfully isn't saturated everywhere like Survivor was

    Isn't saturated? I'm still getting it in Australia!

  5. Re:p2p? on Linus Drops BitKeeper · · Score: 1

    Because when ANYONE can put code into it it can't really be trusted. You'd need to sign the code, and have trusted keyservers.

  6. Re:School usage on Wikipedia Planning a DVD Version · · Score: 1

    You haven't seen the kind of internet connections schools have. It seems that they are sent through a handful of proxies shared between the entire state.

    I have spent *MINUTES* waiting for a *STUB* to load.

  7. Re:Error - multiple definitions found for "CODE". on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 1

    Blaming bad documentation on incompetence might help you somehow, but I fail to see how blaming people gets me proper specs.

  8. Re:Error - multiple definitions found for "CODE". on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if it's the code or the API which is wrong when you're trying to implement an interoprable product, the fact that they are different is the only thing that matters.

  9. Re:some of us do, you insensitive clod! on Proposed Federal Rules On E-Document Destruction · · Score: 1

    Really? I don't think I ever see any pharma ads...

  10. Re:the miracle of encryption... on Proposed Federal Rules On E-Document Destruction · · Score: 1

    I thought your country didn't require you to incriminate yourself?

  11. Re:I need to be informed... on Scientists Weigh Smallest Mass Ever · · Score: 1

    The scales *ARE* the nanotechnology.

  12. Re:oh no on IRC On The PSP · · Score: 2, Funny

    The scary thing is that I read most of that faster than your first sentence!

  13. Re:The smart cheater... on UCSB Student Engineers Grade Hack · · Score: 1

    I know someone who did so badly in his *YEAR 8 MUSIC* test (a D, when everyone else in the class got >90%) that the teacher just let him do it again open book. And he still came last in the class :)

  14. Resolution on Caltech Researchers Weigh Individual Molecules · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In their experiments this represents about thirty xenon atoms-- and it is the typical mass of an individual protein molecule

    If they can resolve down to one protein mass, then wouldn't that imply that at this point they can not find the difference between molecules?

  15. Re:It always stuns me on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    That and the birth rate is barely self-sustaining.

  16. Re:without reading the article/review... on Firefox Hacks · · Score: 1

    IIRC, that's a problem with flash.

    I installed the Flashblock extension, and haven't seen one since.

  17. Re:The smart cheater... on UCSB Student Engineers Grade Hack · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but won't they kind of notice when you carry a whole lot of sheets of paper full of answers in?

  18. Re:Annoying on PearPC Trying to Sue CherryOS · · Score: 1

    Or Mandatory Access Controls

  19. Re:Hmmmm ... not quite on AU Regulations on LAN Cabling? · · Score: 1

    I would have said single-core for permanent, multi-strand for patch/other leads which need to bend easily. 180m max for ethernet. Couldn't tell you the wiring patterns from memory, although I know that the pairs need to be balanced.

    Not so sure about testing, I'd just use a cable tester, so I doubt that's right.

    Not that I'm qualified or anything :)

  20. Re:It goes like this : on AU Regulations on LAN Cabling? · · Score: 1

    But do you still need to pay 12 grand to get a device which you want to attach to a phone line licensed?

  21. Re:Gotta keep that 'sexy' X on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 1

    You want sexy names?

    XP ProN edition ;)

  22. Re:English is quite easy.. on Professor Finds Fault with MS Grammar Checker · · Score: 1

    Japanese grammar is easy, there's fixed structures which don't change for plurals, etc.

  23. Re:What parts do you need to download? on Gentoo 2005.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Ummm...I think you'd have everything, but you'd do better to download straight from a local mirror (your ISP might mirror it...mine does)

  24. Re:compile on! on Gentoo 2005.0 Released · · Score: 1

    What exactly do you consider your "average Gentoo package"? Are your users each building their own copies of packages? If they are, you should get people to make binary packages.

  25. Re:Are these kids picked on or what? on SF RoboGames This Weekend · · Score: 1

    Actually, whether or not it is related to sex comes first...like this:

    related_to_sex | !(don't_care | not_smart_about_science)

    At least that's my theory on how it all works...to be honest, even us teenagers aren't completely sure ;)
