  1. Heres an idea on The Quest To Build a Better Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Design a game with the playability of wow set in the environment of the Sprawl series of Gibson novels. That would be the ultimate game. Before you reply with 'go play neocroft 2', their payment system sucks and Americans can't seem to be able to play that game.

  2. TRON on Acoustic Sensors Make Any Surface a Touch Pad · · Score: 1

    Sweet, now I can have a keyboard like the boss in TRON!!!!@!@! My childhood fantasies are slowly coming true. Now all I need is a room full of computers and hot girls. Oh wait, I read slashdot, guess I'll settle for the room full of computers.

  3. species classifcation change on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 2, Funny

    FTA, Ubuntu's marketing slogan - "Linux for human beings"

    I feel like pluto, according to Ubuntu, I'm no longer human...

  4. Re:It might take awhile.... on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you read down on the specs of this chip, solves P=NP is one of the bullet points.

  5. Re:Data entry issues on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    Clearly none of you have used the 77 standard of fortran...

  6. Re:Stupid quote on Explaining Complexity in Software Development? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please, whatever you do, no more software-car analogies!!!!

  7. Re:Booze and videogames is utterly stoopid. on 'Boozy Gamer' Researcher Questioned · · Score: 1

    Try MLB 2004 (I think) homerun derby. Only one button to hit so you have a free hand and is tons of fun while drinking.

  8. Re:a big relief on MIT Hackers Appropriate Caltech Cannon · · Score: 1

    Like the security at caltech is difficult to social engineer. I've known little kids more difficult to convince.

  9. Re:Ancient Greek Technology Costs Jobs. on Mathematics Skills More in Demand Than Ever · · Score: 1

    So 50 years ago in high school they were learning differential equations and real analysis? Crazy.

  10. Re:Well it clearly matters to some people... on Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity · · Score: 1

    "an excuse to call the qestioner ignorant."

    Especially when the questioner cannot spell questioner.

  11. Correct me if I'm wrong.... on Voyager 1 Sends Messages from the Edge · · Score: 1

    Consider the following:
      1) The voyager spacecraft is moving away from us.
      2) It is currently in a never-explored-area.
      3) Further away areas have not been explored

    This seems to imply that anywhere that the voyager spacecraft travels will therefore be never explored, thus making the never-explored-area part redundant....perhaps its been too long in the lab tonight...

  12. Re:Dupe on New Algorithm for Learning Languages · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess that since this paper deals with unsupervised learning of natural languages and this NIST shootout was about Machine Translation that maybe they are just a little different. I admit I haven't fully digested the paper in the article but it seems to me that this is by far different. But he y, thats just me.

  13. Re:Help me out here on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our large toothed overlords.

  14. Re:The reason for the downturn. on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 1

    Actually, take a student who doesn't use firefox but is transfering or begining as a freshman at UC Berkeley. The first thing they do in the dorms before you get your internet connection is have you install a CD that turns on automatic updates, installs a firewall and antivirus software, and installs firefox. *POOF* New firefox users at school time.

    It would seem logical that similar systems are setup at other institutions.

  15. Re:Correction to article on USB-Powered Linux Server Fits in Your Pocket · · Score: 2, Funny

    And after it takes over the monitor, keyboard, mouse , and internet connection, its says:

    Am I the only one that sees this. Rated M 17+, rated AO 18+. Uh oh. Not that delicate year of being 17. Please don't spoil our youth's minds.

  19. Re:Blah Blah Blah on We Love Katamari Review · · Score: 1

    Not only is the reviewer long winded, but trying to read text surrounded by that red backgound is the most difficult thing I've tried to do all day.

  20. Re:Gentle introduction to embedded programming? on Fujitsu's HOAP-3, Programmable Linux robot · · Score: 1

    Fear Fujitsu's code. At a certain lab where I work, my friend has been doing research with the HOAP-2 for the past year and lets just say that Fujitsu doesn't have the nicest code available to work with. They certainly leave it up to the owner to figure out what to do with the thing.

  21. Re:"One-click"? on No PodBuddy for iPod lovers · · Score: 1

    I don't know, sounds like some innovative marketing to me.

    1. Create a product that infringes on a patent.
    2. Tell consumers they can't have it unless they get the guy who owns the patent to buy it.
    3. Profit.

  22. Re:mp3 of the talk on Paul Graham: Hiring is Obsolete · · Score: 1

    forgot the obligatory plug for the Berkeley CSUA

    So its going somewhere fast?

  25. Re:Trust your Instincts on How Important is a Well-Known CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    Hell, I got to one of the previously mentioned big schools and I can walk into any of my professors offices and sit and talk to him about class material, advances in computing, or whatever also.
