  1. Re:why does the new yorker care? on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    I say present both sides of the issue, and let the kids (and their parents!) decide for themselves.

  2. Re:If it's not testable it isn't science. on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I hate it how the common use of the term "philosophy" seems to stand for "idle nonsense that potheads do".

  3. wow on MySpace Trumps YouTube in Video · · Score: 1

    And I use neither myspace or yahoo. What's wrong with me! why am I so abnormal!

  4. Re:What?! on George the Next Generation AI? · · Score: 1

    And not only, but this "next generation" artificial mankind is a thin, bald man with yellow glasses who wears a white turtleneck sweater. Ah, and I was hoping the "next generation" would buxom blondes in seethrough tops.

  5. The question is... on Experts Fear Future Will be Like Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who will own the Artificial Intelligence? If it's some corporate head like Rupert Murdoch or some Government head like George Bush then count me with the luddite terrorists.

  6. Re:Too easy on New Robot Glides Through Intestines · · Score: 1

    What's the joke in Dodou? is it that it sounds like Dildo?

  7. Re:His own fault... on Alan Cox's Exploding Laptop · · Score: 1

    Can someone please tell me if this applies to AA and AAA batteries too? Or are those ones just unlikely to explode?

  8. Re:Fishing? on Fish Work as Anti-terror Agents · · Score: 1

    Ah. This at last explains "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully".

  9. Re:Another one? on Rob Levin, lilo of FreeNode, Passes · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are lots of such bike riders we don't hear of. I am sick of this. When I was in college two of my highschool buddies were killed the same way, on their bike, by cars, a year or two apart. Not only that those eco-unfriendly fat dorks won't get on bikes and ridicule us, but they're killing us too.

  10. Re:Lets face it... on Confessions of a Recovering NetBSD Zealot · · Score: 1

    Haha. 12 flavors for 10 programmers!

  11. Re:You know, though this is a dupe on David Brin Laments Absence of Programming For Kids · · Score: 1

    But then he wouldn't have an article to write if he did that.

  12. Re:Forever Loop? on Programmed Sentencing in China · · Score: 1

    In communist China, the application executes you.

  13. Re:The solution on EU And Microsoft Clash Over Vista Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    > "Clearly this is not a realistic option on Windows, where regular day to day usage of your computer includes exploring the massive catalog of software available on the Internet"

    I would call the 15,000 packages or more on Debian repositories quite a massive catalog.

  14. Console, huh? on Gaming Platform of Choice - Console · · Score: 1

    Man, what a disappoinment. I came after seeing the RSS feed thinking this was about the console as in the command line interface.

  15. Re:My brother-in-law does sense it on Special Molecule Gives Birds a Magnetic Biocompass · · Score: 1

    I don't know why you're quite impressed by this. You're quite impressed by him navigating his way through mountains? Well how about a featureless, vast desert. It's quite commonplace amongst desert nomads.

  16. Well now on China to Control Reports of Foreign News Agencies · · Score: 1

    However you slice it, that is bad.

  17. Re:I hate this guy on Controversy Erupts Over Craigslist Prank · · Score: 1

    I agree. I wholeheartedly hate this guy.

  18. Re:Nature of Big Business Today? on HP Witch Hunt Also Targeted Reporter's Father · · Score: 1

    All those "MBA" scum care about is cooking the short-term sheets to get their bonuses. They'll happily screw up whole departments and mess up the future of a company for that. I think that's why once-great American companies like HP and Ford are now going down the drain.

  19. Re:Robo-what? on Robocabs Coming to Europe · · Score: 1

    Nah. They never think of it; no one has a chance of getting an STD here.

  20. HP on Boardroom Spying Debacle at HP · · Score: 1

    So how did she become HP's chairman? is it because she represents a big investor?

  21. BS on Nanocosmetics Used Since Ancient Egypt · · Score: 1

    This "article" - in fact, a press release - is a fine example of marketing-speak BS.

  22. Re:Does it involve emptying bedpans? on Stephen Hawking Looking for Assistant · · Score: 1

    > Bedpans. And walking upstairs with a prof. over one shoulder.

    And if you slip him off and he cracks his head you get a global ass-pummeling.

  23. [To First Post] Yay! on Microsoft [to patent] Verb Conjugation · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    [to yell] Woohoo!

  24. Re:I'll explain this one on Commodore 64 Confuses Austrian Police · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ah but guess what they get for that fuel inefficiency; marvelous bodies. I've sometimes marveled in amazement at the bodies of those bike-riding Dutch girls; solid from the waist down.

  25. Re:Yeah, stalking IS supposed to be hard on Facebook Changes Provoke Uproar Among Users · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll explain. Public means parents in this context. It's OK for every college girl and guy in the .edu world to know what you did in that party, drunken threesome and all, but Mom and Dad should have a hard time at finding out.
