  1. Re:Curbing malware and cyberthreats on Cybercrime More Lucrative Than Drugs · · Score: 1

    Quick! Everyone brush up on their machine code skillz!

  2. Re:Where's the love for Asimov? on Top 20 Geek Novels · · Score: 1

    You see #8? Sure, they don't have the books individually listed, but...

  3. Re:well duh on Linux Claims 4 of the Top 5 Supercomputer Spots · · Score: 1

    I can see the headline now: PalmOS has jumped to number 3 OS in use on multiprocessor supercomputers!....Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Palm V's....

  4. Faraday Cage time! on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 1

    I foresee an increase in the use of full faraday cage hats coming up...

  5. Re:Stanley Kubrick was a pole-sitting faggot on Looking Back On Looking Forward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A boring fucking movie? I must've missed a couple of scenes somewhere...

  6. Re:Let's be HONEST here on Fighting FUD with Humor · · Score: 1

    I don't know....it took me a decade to get where I am in my understanding of windows, and two years in Linux. Plus, I ended up with a far deeper understanding of the workings of Linux...a standard troubleshooting method for serious windows problems is "reinstall the bugger!"

    Of course...Mac is a bit better. But as far as I'm concerned, *n*x is quite intuitive, and the parts that aren't are simple and easy to look up.

  7. Re:From TFA on NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance · · Score: 1

    Solution: make sure the Russians aren't in our Mars capsules....then make movies about what happens in theirs!

  8. Re:How hard to avoid this? on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    Well, it's got to use sonar to find the target....a loud sonar ping (like when it's close to the target) can't be too different from a different loud noise.

    So you're stuck either with an unguided dumbfire missile ((WW2, represent!) or your torp may be vulnerable to this attack.

  9. Fishing? on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it would have a lot the same effect as "Redneck fishing"....throw a stick of dynamite in the water!

    If I'm correct, the effects on marine life are already well-documented.

  10. Re:Neat but one burning question on PBS Features Einstein's Famous Equation · · Score: 1

    c refers not only to the speed of light, but specifically, the speed of light in a vacuum. Even our normal atmosphere changes light's speed somewhat.

  11. Re:Now that you mention sperm whales.. on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 2, Informative

    ....and apparently pretty inaccurate....since when are a squid's tentacles clawed??

  12. Re:What is life, anyway? on Acetylene Based Life on Titan? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, either that, or your desk's an absolute mess......hmmm, I don't seem to be fulfilling my duties as a lifeform....

  13. ARGGGHHHH!! on Games Teaching the Basics of Programming · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mommy...make the bad dupes stop....*sobbing in corner*

  14. For my part, on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    This 'service' scares the hell out of me. Not necessarily in its current form, but the uses that it could be pushed to, and the concept's capacity for privacy violation.

    I don't have 'something to hide', but there's a greater sense of security knowing no one's watching me than to know that someone I don't know's always watching me.

  15. Re:UNMANNED? on Russian Cargo Ship Docks At ISS, Preps For Tourist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In fact, it's ludicrous not to be able to expect both manned and un-manned space veh....I think I'll shut up now....

  16. Re:Very Promising Future of Prosthetics... on Clever Artificial Hand Developed · · Score: 1

    ummm....your hands are controlled by muscles in the upper arm...they probably use some different muscle groups, though. i'll give you that.

  17. Re:guns illegal in Australia on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    But what are you going to do when the molemen from Venus attack??? Who'll be laughing then? AMERICA...then quite likely get blown up by a trigger-happy cowboy with nukes...but what the hell.

  18. Re:Looks good... on Prototype Rollable Paper-like Display Ready Early · · Score: 1

    Yea, sure. Crumple it up, and throw it away when it crashes =p

  19. ummm..... on Supernova 1987A Decoded · · Score: 1

    Would it have killed the poster to come up with an fa?? I mean, seriously...especially for a claim of this significance, they'd better have some heavy shit to back this up!

  20. Re:Hmmm... lots of Sony stuff on What's In Your Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    haha, YOU, sir, are a Sony whore! ;-)

  21. Re:amazing on Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse · · Score: 1

    Well, tfa says they destroyed optic nerve, and it regenerated in the mice.

  22. Re:killjoy. on Apple Hedges Its Bet on New Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    In that light, it's even more obvious that Apple is trying to drive up the price of x86 processors by increasing demand, at which point they'll be able to market their PPC-based machines to an inflated marketplace! It's economic genius, I tell you!

  23. Not using newer X extensions? on Enlightenment DR17 On the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    I understand the need for backward compatibility, but why can't Enlightenment use the newer composite/damage/etc when the server offers it, and enable less candy otherwise?
    The way I see it, EWM could do it using a plugin model, where the plugins/extensions are only loaded when supported (and not disabled by custom option)

  24. Re:StyleXP on Enlightenment DR17 On the Linux Desktop · · Score: 2, Informative

    Windows powertools allows some fun stuff, like Linux-style mouse focusing, multiple desktops, MacOS-like Expose switching...

    However, programs aren't expecting windows to have capabilities like that, so it's a bit glitchy, sometimes, haha

    That said, Every Linux WM/DE that I've used has implemented these capabilities better.

  25. Re:Clarification on J Allard Interviewed · · Score: 1

    This is an advertisement, plain and simple. If they couldn't brag about it working in home/pro XP, then why the heck wouldn't they?
