    ...or a firm idea of what separates planets from stars.
    Space. Quite a bit of it, I hope.


    space? but it's nothing? so is there actually anything separating them?
    heh

    okay that's enough now.

  2. What separates planets from stars on Strange Mini Solar System Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    "who still don't have a basic definition for the word planet or a firm idea of what separates planets from stars."


    One is on fire and one isn't.

    Now hand over my research grant.

    Well if you had two, you could make a nice set of binoculars.

  4. Hiding data ...pfft on Secret Data: Steganography v Steganalysis · · Score: 5, Funny

    As if you can hide information in places that nobody would find, just doesn't seem like a plausible direction for security.

  6. Re:Sushi is the rice, not the fish on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 1

    How can the guy call it sushi when it has no sushi-rice? It's made from soybeans. It's like saying a tofu steak is a prime cut of filet mignon because you colored it and added some flavoring. Sushi also isn't 2mm thick, and confined to a dpi. Soy is a healthy and ultra cheap alternative to a lot of foods. That's why tofu burgers, aren't actually meat etc...

  7. Define professional on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you are a professional admin, shouldn't you already know what's best?

  8. Re:Music Search on Better Search Engines · · Score: 1

    I lipsync'd and came up with Ashley Simpson. incredible!!

  9. Re:Kinda late... on Overclockix 3.7 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Why is this being posted just now? Not that this isn't really interesting, but the link says it was released on December 7th..." Some of us can't keep up with every single release of every single program. Although we try.. some slip past. Did you know when it was released? seems to me you just found out today. :-) Not picking on you, just trying to figure out your point.

  10. Re:./ed !!!! Server Reboot Time? on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    "At this point all my whiteboards are full of boxes of each database cluster, the machines in that cluster, which have passed their checksum tests. (innodb checksums each 16k page), which replayed their replay/undo logs, where in binlogs each was writing/reading/executing etc..." But at least there is still time to read and post on slashdot. :-)

  11. intelligence on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 1

    Some monkies can learn up to a grade 5 level of intelligence but we have them in labratory testing. I wonder what a robot 3 or 4 times smarter than us would think and how it would treat humans.

  12. Re:Paramount on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: 1

    They say $1 dollar from every pin gets donated yataa yataa... Then go on to say that they've raised 50 million this way. It usually says right on the back of packaging. We are the ones doing the donating they are the ones gaining 100's of millions of dollars from it. :-P They are crooked.

  13. Paramount on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: 2, Informative

    Paramount Theatres has had spiderman and ET heart pins that are used for rasing money for charities. They are $3 each but they keep 2/3 of the money. In one ad they mentioned they raised 50 million meaning they made 100 million. It'd be nice if they gave their part aswell.

  14. Re:Let's talk reality here on The Tin-Whisker Menace · · Score: 1

    A big CRT can contain up to 5 pounds (2.2 kilograms) of lead. Think of how many tvs/monitors there have been disposed of already. But since U.S had dumped it in China a few times I'm sure that's the problem solved. Don't believe me? Look it up.

  15. late post but... on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 1

    I know this is a late post but I'd like to mention that when try to install the new update for apple quick time.. It forces you to install itunes, which is an incredible annoyance. That kind of crap I wish didn't happen.

  16. altering the future on Ham Operator Sets New Miles-Per-Watt World Record · · Score: 1

    I hope he doesn't pick up ham radio messages from the past and communicate with someone.

    That'd be horrible. Who knows what he's been altering in our timeline.

    "If it generated any sort of income for the creators, it would be momentous for them."


    If I had created anything that was downloaded a million times I'd sure be proud and I'd surley remember it forever.

    would it be students paying for a service or the school??

  25. $$$money$$$ on HP & Commodity Computing · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Great for the students that have money!! So the kids that get more rendered are the ones that'll have industry eyes on them??? The ones that can afford to pay for the most rendering, bigger scenes, more textures?? As if school doesn't cost enough money already.
