  1. Re:Social Security on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 2, Funny

    All that matters is that I will get my share.

    All $5.63USD.

    I could probably buy a breath mint when I reach retirement in 23 years.

    Someone please mod parent funny.

    Something should be funny in this pitiful saga.

    Is the server running Linux? Now that would be funny.

    Or ironic.

  4. 2041 on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 4, Informative

    4,700 hours of work...more than 400 IBM employees....80 GB of source code and other electronic data...more than 900,000 pages of paper...

    Now we can expect another request for an extension from SCO so that they can pick through the stuff IBM just dumped on them.

    I don't expect to see a decision in this case until Social Security runs out of funds.

    Calculus is also a Latin word meaning "gravel." I don't know about you, but it all makes sense to me!

    I can't understand why geology undergrads don't do better at calculus. Shoot, "gravel" is our middle name!

    I think they are referring to "Good Will Hunting".

    Law and Order have simply digitized the technique.

    Yes, but they certainly have great looking female DAs.

    Thanks, smartass, for ruining a perfectly good joke with "facts". ;)

    I had no idea that calculus was so ickey.

    I came in at various times during the radio show, but I think that the writer holds a PhD in mathematics.

    The link points to an archive edition of the show.

    What exactly is Math culture?

    The stuff found growing inside of a calculus textbook?

    NPR covered this story as well. I found it interesting that the Simpsons had a writer with such an advanced degree in mathematics.

    Yawn.

    Just think: You waited three days to post your "comment".

    That makes you one of the most pathetic stalkers on /.

    Congratulations!

    Did you see the symbol on the guy's baseball cap?

    It looks amazingly like this one.

    This firing is clearly anti-Masonic in nature.

    You've done absolutely nothing to address that statement.

    Nice attempt at constructing a strawman. Sorry but I refuse to join you in beating it up.

    The original point:

    Who's original point?

    Certainly not mine.

    stems cells aren't the problem. Embryonic stem cells are.

    Only to you and the other "no one".

    I'm posting AC because this is now 1. off-topic and 2. stupid.

    Don't worry - at this point in the thread it is doubtful that anyone will penalize you for being both.

  16. Re:Misinformation on The Chimera Dilemma Manifested in Sheep · · Score: 1

    Work on that reading comprehension a bit, eh?

    "No one (stastisically speaking) objects to stem cell research. No one."

    It looks more like the version I typed when the emphasis is changed.

    Are you changing your opinion now that it has been successfully rebuked?

    I would gather that is the reason you've begun to post AC as well.

    The limitations on existing lines of embryonic stem cells has no relevance to a discussion of adult stem cells.

    Why just because you say so?

    And adult stem cells just happen to be where all of the succesful stem cell therapies have come from.

    Citations would be helpful.

    No one (stastisically speaking) objects to stem cell research. No one.

    You just scrawled a contradition and claimed that I am grossly misinformed or a troll?

    That is so laughable.

    There are groups that opposed to *any* form of genetic manipulation, even from adult stem cells. They are the same groups that reject any form of contraception and fought in vitro fertilization when it was introduced.

    Public education is really failing us.
