  1. Flash isn't just a video player on Microsoft Tips the Scale In Favor of HTML 5 · · Score: 1

    I don't know why it's treated as such. Videos are just compressed pixel data. In Flash, you can make vector-based movies, or interactive stuff like video games. I mean, just check out newgrounds. You can't do that with H.264.

  2. Re:On the upside though... on Microsoft's Touted iPad Rival Courier Becomes Less Than Vapor · · Score: 1

    it's still pretty innovative, even if it's bullshit.

  3. so which is faster? on Tom's Hardware On the Current Stable of Office Apps For Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do they even read what they write?

    "OO.o Writer is the fastest and most responsive word processor available for Linux today."

    "KWord is fast. It's probably the fastest-loading and maybe the most responsive word processor in the roundup."

    But the research that they're doing does have applications in weapons.

    In Orion 2, I just love having the "Drop All Bombs" button available after eliminating all meaningful resistance.

  8. Re:Ok, so what? on Former Nurse Charged With Aiding Suicides Via Web · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think suicide should be legal provided that you inform the proper authorities and close up some loose ends.

  9. mob justice on Former Nurse Charged With Aiding Suicides Via Web · · Score: 1

    It's sad that people are being prosecuted for being dicks rather than for breaking actual laws. Mob justice acts with an arbitrary and inconsistent hand, and has no place under the rule of law.

  10. Re:But is the class even relevant? on Why Computer Science Students Cheat · · Score: 1

    Hey, at least it wasn't Scheme. God, debugging Scheme was awful because the lazy evaluator would make sure your program would fail somewhere completely far from where the error was.

  11. Re:And then they check it? on Why Computer Science Students Cheat · · Score: 1

    In most the CS classes I took, grading was mostly done by some automated case testing program. No looking at code style.

  13. Re:Will this radiation sweep over the rim on Supermassive Black Holes Can Abort Star Formation · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it's safe to say, if some galactic event is to obliterate the Earth, there's absolutely nothing we can do about it, so why worry?

    Although, it might be nice to know if it were happening soon, so we don't have to care about pollution, retirement, cancer, work, school ... and we can all have sex while high on heroin while skydiving with no parachute.

    the simplest and most effective block is to go over and shut the computer off. Take away the computer if you have to (or just the cords if that's too much trouble).

  22. nuclear 100 times safer than coal on What Chernobyl Looks Like In 2010 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Funny how everybody has heard of Chernobyl, the place where a nuclear meltdown directly killed around 59 people. How many people have heard of Benxihu? A coal dust explosion killed 1549 in one day. People probably don't know much about any single coal mining accident because they happen all the time. Even now, coal accidents kill thousands a year. The most recent deadly nuclear accident was about 11 years ago in a Japanese plant, where two workers died.

    Now, I'm talking nuclear power, not weapons.

    Now factoring the relative danger of radiation versus pollution and global warming is pretty difficult. But radiation probably killed a few thousand, whereas coal pollution probably killed millions. Both radiation and carbon will be around for a long time.

    Of course, you can't be a thinking man or woman and not have a bias.
