  1. Re:Word play on Jeopardy-Playing Supercomputer Beats Humans · · Score: 1

    Well, "11:39AM On Jeopardy's part, the questions were written just like usual, with the writers having no knowledge of Watson. They then pulled a pool of 30 games randomly to get a set for the practice matches, and merely pulled out the audio and video and picture clues." http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/ibm-demonstrates-watson-supercomputer-in-jeopardy-practice-match/

  2. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    Religion != morality. Hitler was Catholic after all. (Godwin's law as well)

  3. Re:birthday?? on Microsoft Windows 3.0 Is 20 Years Today · · Score: 1

    Except Christians believe that the dead thing was temporary and he is alive.

  4. Remember Virtua Cop... on Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage · · Score: 1

    Well if hostages would stop popping up on the bottom of the screen I'd stop shooting them and none of this would be an issue.

  5. Re:New Analog Format on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "and yes, I know you can get very expensive record players that use laser's or some such thing instead of a needle"

    They call them CD players I believe.

  6. Re:Open and Shut Case of Police Harrasment on Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License · · Score: 1

    That's if there is 'probable cause to believe that the person had stolen or attempted to steal merchandise' which means

    1. You must see the shoplifter approach your merchandise
    2. You must see the shoplifter select your merchandise
    3. You must see the shoplifter conceal, carry away or convert your merchandise
    4. You must maintain continuous observation the shoplifter
    5. You must see the shoplifter fail to pay for the merchandise
    6. You must approach the shoplifter outside of the store

    If you lose sight of a shoplifter for a second and they drop the goods and you detain them, the store can be sued for false detainment. I still think this guy is a jerk, but maybe that's because I work retail.

  7. Re:And what do horoscopes have to do with science? on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 1

    And Scorpio effects my love live how..?

  8. Re:First Sale Rights on eBay Bargains Soon To Be A Thing Of The Past? · · Score: 1

    Food products have expiration dates. Car parts do not.

  9. MIssing an important one on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Amazed they left out the worst buzzword ever. Web 2.0 *shudder*

  10. Re:Uh, what the fuck? on 10 Web Operating Systems Reviewed · · Score: 1

    "Or do WebOS include browsers."

    Viewing web pages in a browser via WebOS running in a browser. My mind boggles.

  11. A Look Inside? on A Look Inside the PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    Where's the delicious shots of motherboards and graphics chips and big ass heatsinks. :(

  12. Re:Half Life 2 on Are Videogames Art? · · Score: 1

    "That's like saying a Bruckheimer movie is the height of cinema."

    No, it's more like saying The Great Train Robbery was the height of cinema.

  13. Re:Huh? on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 1

    Shocking you haven't been modded flame-bait.

    Why should the choice of medium reduce the validity of the artists statement. Besides, a live-action movie is in the works. Will you accept that as having themes and motifs, or will it cause some sorta rift in space-time that causes your world to collapse into a black hole?

  14. Re:It's to be expected really on Netflix vs. Blockbuster Revisited · · Score: 1

    "What's blockbuster got to top that?"

    Monthly Free rental cupons. Very handy for sudden movie urges.

  15. Re:Well, when you think about it... on Livejournal Bans Ad-Blocking Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sure you could do that in a few lines of PHP, but Did you think about the fact that not everyone is in the IT field. How many LJ users do you think know how to use PHP? Not a heck of a lot I'm sure. Next thing you'll be complaining that people can't build their own cars or bake a cake from scratch.

  16. Re:delay, shmelay on PS3 Delay To Have Little Impact? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'd pay $1000 for a console if it really blew me away. I really want to see something more powerful than the XBox 360 which in my mind is comparable to my (fairly high-end) PC.

    Seems redundant to me.

  17. Death of Boba Fett? on Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously · · Score: 1

    "Luke turns on his lightsaber for the first time at the same time that Han causes the death of Boba Fett." Not quite. The Sarlac found him somewhat indigestible.

  18. Re:Too bad that's so simplified on The Profit Margin on the iPod nano · · Score: 1

    Can't forget marketing too.
