  1. Re:I hope it doesn't get widely deployed on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1

    Since you are black, I don't suppose you can tell me what is the draw behind raping every white girl you see? I can never figure out what the point is.

  2. Re:Apple already addressed this on iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit · · Score: 1

    No, Apple said anyone who Apple felt had a big enough issue would be given a replacement. Wanna guess how many people fell into that group? Think one-tenth of 1 percent.

  3. Mixed signals on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    So first it's gonna kill us, then it's not going to kill us, now it's going to kill us again? When will the /. gods make up their minds?

  4. Re:Good luck finding it on Black Boxes for Spacecrafts · · Score: 4, Informative
    They've already thought of that. From the article:
    The heat from the craft's explosion would trigger the boxes to detach - perhaps by melting the adhesive that fixes them to the CEV. Then, as they fall to Earth, the boxes would transmit their data, obviating any need to retrieve them later.
  5. Cake is for eating on Telegraph Reviews Hitchhiker Movie, Approves · · Score: 5, Insightful
    What's sad is how unfair criticism of this movie is inevitable, rather it turns out to be any good or not. When you get something that's so ridiculously popular with such a devout fanbase, there's going to be a gigantor contingent of those who aren't capable of understanding that this is not the book. Can anyone say LotR?

    I, for one, look forward to the movie. I have confidence that it will incredibly funny, while still staying true to the spirit of the books. I ask all those who demand a carbon copy to please bellyache out of my earshot.

  6. Same old same old on Promoting Webcomics? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's a lot harder to make a successful webcomic than it used to be. A few years ago, webcomics were a relatively new idea, and people were having fun exploring the new medium. They found strips they like, and have worked them into their weekly schedule.

    Now, though, there's not a real audience for new webcomics. People already have webcomics they like, and the excitement's gone in looking for new ones. Most people take an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach.

    The way to make anything successful is to offer everyone wants, but they can't get anywhere else. Your webcomic's material is a dime a dozen; you didn't start soon enough. I really don't see your strip getting off the ground.

    Then again, you did get yourself a link off slashdot. That's not gonna hurt.

  7. Re:My brain hurts on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 1

    > Maybe I'm being an ignorant genius, but isn't it just plain obvious that there is an infinite number of primes, thus an infinite number of twin primes. Prove it. That's the point. It's always seemed obvious, but the point is that no one's been able to prove it. Arenstorf did.

  8. Re:You are either on crack or joking. on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 1

    In order to make parent's "trivial proof" more trivial, I provide the following. All prime numbers (but 2) are odd, because all even numbers are divisible by 2. So if you have a prime nubmer and add one, it's even. All even numbers are divisible by 2.

  9. Re:My question is... on Overclocking your Gameboy Advance · · Score: 1

    According to the Ahead Games guy, they'll be sellingit with a switch to turn the "Accelerator" on and off so that it doesn't mess with your normal games.
