  1. Re:So tired of this debate... on Study Finds Video Games Are Not Bad for Kids · · Score: 1

    possibly the worst +5 modded comment I've ever seen.

  2. Re:Coke II on Netflix Changes Its Mind, Will Keep Profiles Feature · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just like Coca-Cola introduced the "New Coke" in the 80s simply to draw attention to their brand, meanwhile planning all along to reintroduce "Coke Classic"... which eventually became the only Coke available. (Though I'm still not sure if the switch from cane sugar to corn syrup had anything to do with it.)

    That's a myth: http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/newcoke.asp New Coke was not introduced as a ploy to draw attention to their brand, with the intention of reintroducing Coke Classic. It was in fact a failure, from which Coke recovered brilliantly.

    Tefilin (Phylactories)? Head and right hand are tefilin, that Orthodox Jewish(tm) males and Madonna wrap every day.
    Ummm. Left hand!?!
  4. Re:1+1=2 on Slashback: BlackBerry, Cloning, Smart Hotels · · Score: 1

    A minor point, but we don't actually assume that 1+1=2.
    We can prove it.
    We do assume some things, though, just not that.
    Google for "ordinal arithmetic" and "Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms", if you're interested.

  5. Re:Circle? on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 3, Insightful

    obviously, the circle is on a cone.

  6. Graphing complex functions? on Overclocking Calculators? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow! TI calculators can graph complex functions? Cool. I wonder how they portray four real dimensions.

  7. Re:It has to do with humidity, not heat. on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 2, Insightful
    In areas where the humidity is high, being larger does you no good. Sweat won't evaporate so the extra surface area isn't useful.
    Being larger doesn't give you more surface area, it gives you less! (at least in relation to your body mass, which is what matters).
  8. Re:Take two hydrogen atoms and call me in the morn on Would You Drink This Water? · · Score: 1
    An H2O molecule is an H2O molecule, is an H2O molecule.
    Of course, that's not true. Some H20 molecules contain deuterium, some don't,etc...
