  1. Re:Opportunity on Apple May Build Oregon Data Center Next To Facebook's · · Score: 1

    Freak?! It's the only way to be sure!

  2. Re:This annoys the hell out of me ... on Hybrids Safer In Crashes — Except For Pedestrians · · Score: 3, Insightful

    cars are a lot more lethal in a crash than bicycles.

  3. Re:The funny part on Messaging Apps, VoIP Already Eating Into Carrier Revenue · · Score: 1

    Imagine spammers paying 7 cents per email.

  4. Why shouldn't it.... on Study Says Quantum Wavefunction Is a Real Physical Object · · Score: 1

    .... if it can (maybe) be measured: Direct measurement of the quantum wavefunction

  5. Re:same as with everything else on Who Killed Videogames? · · Score: 1

    Define "negative" and "positive".

  6. Re:It's a game, for crying out loud !! on CCP Deconstructs EVE Online's Microtransaction Missteps · · Score: 1

    Treating real life as a game is stupid. Why? Because quitting (or being forced to quit) = death.

  7. Filers are wasting time?! on Putting Emails In Folders Is a Waste of Time, Says IBM Study · · Score: 1

    I use procmail. Virtually no time wasted. This won't give me a gazillion mails in my inbox that one or the other MUA can't handle.

  8. Re:Mars Science Laboratory on Mars Rover Curiosity Sealed Up For Launch · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4boyXQuUIw

    soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydOmN1894MY (song has interestingly nice timings for this animation)

  9. Re:just go all the way and uninstall Mcafee on Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin · · Score: 0

    Introduce your hardware to Linux - it's a match made in heaven.

    Heaven sucks.

  10. Re:Meanwhile, WebGL has... on Unreal Engine 3 Running In Flash · · Score: 1

    ... a blacklist of gpu's?

  11. Re:Hardware requirement? on Unreal Engine 3 Running In Flash · · Score: 1

    I did and couldn't find any hardware requirements in it. Which isn't surprising at all, since it's basically the slashdot news.

  12. Re:No surprises here... on Pirate Party Wins Seat In Berlin · · Score: 1

    tl;dr In Germany, "Pirate" is a meaningless, valueless (or bad) word when used in politics.

    Not true.

  13. Re:Who needs native code on River Trail — Intel's Parallel JavaScript · · Score: 1

    my eeepc 1005pe disagrees with your hp mini 210

  14. Re:If I stole and destroyed a $75k sports car on Court Reinstates $675k File Sharing Verdict · · Score: 1

    Destroying a sports car is obviously an act of terrorism.

  15. Re:Microsoft has likewise failed on Celebrate Software Freedom Today · · Score: 1

    That's like saying giving someone instructions in English is about as UNINTUITIVE an interface as you could possibly design. Better to point and grunt.

    Your analogy is flawed. Better to draw, point and explain. Like, an icon with tooltip when moused over.

  16. Re:Imagine... on Intel Experimental Processor Runs On Solar Power · · Score: 1

    "Hi, this is Dave calling from UTC+1. Can you do a quick google search for me?" "Sorry, can't do. My proto-sentient house called it a day and went into hibernation a few minutes ago..."

    But: innermost shell of a Matrioshka Brain?

  17. Imagine... on Intel Experimental Processor Runs On Solar Power · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...a Beowulf cluster of those (on your roof).

  18. Re:And then 90 years, and then... on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Protection on AMD Breaks Overclocking Record With Bulldozer · · Score: 1

    As long as contact with the skin isn't long (unlike: get it on your clothes or in your shoes), you should be fine. I frequently handle liquid nitrogen in the lab and don't use special protection gear for it.

  20. Re:And then 90 years, and then... on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 2

    For most people in the world, 8 IS infinity.

    And for lots of people 6 is a good enough approximation of infinity.

  21. Censorship? on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    How's that censorship? You still can say whatever you want to say. You just have to stand by your word now - like, before the internet.

  22. Re:Not replacing, just adding on top on Algorithmic Trading Rapidly Replacing Need For Humans · · Score: 1
    The fact that you can't control Coca Cola with your 100 lot is due to other people owning more shares than you. This is no different from your 1 vote for president not mattering at all.

    Bullshit. Of course this is different. A democratic vote adheres to "1 man, 1 vote".

  23. Re:It's convenience and security. on Why the Fax Machine Refuses To Die · · Score: 1

    Plus, electronic files can be faked once recieved. Harder to do that with a hardcopy (no pun intended).

  24. Sandboxed salt... on Google Is Grooming Chrome As a Game Platform · · Score: 1
    ... with integrated pepper?

    Some Googlers seem to appreciate wordplay :)

  25. Sci-Fi oblig. on Evidence Points To Huge Underground River Beneath Amazon · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Center of the Earth".
