  1. No botnet? on BitCoin, the Most Dangerous Project Ever? · · Score: 1

    I'm kind of surprised that nobody has yet created a botnet to mine bitcoins.

  2. Re:Google looking too? on Facebook Wants To Buy Skype · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good point, facebook never opens things up.

  3. Re:anti-piracy on The Nintendo 3DS, Headaches, and Bad Journalism · · Score: 1

    For the love of all that is holy, somebody mod this guy up.

  4. Re:Really? Apple isn't in the top 150? on Amazon Named the "Most Reputable Company" · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "IBM, Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle were all very close: 44th, 46th, 47th, and 49th, respectively."

  5. Re:Thanks Intranet! on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    I'll need a list of office phones that I can dial. Thanks.

  6. Re:97 on Acid 3 on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    Just because a browser doesn't pass the acid test 100% doesn't make it a bad browser. The acid tests (especially acid 3) are designed to test for odd edge cases to make sure the spec is implemented properly. It'd be pretty rare to actually run into any of these cases on your standard website. It's also worth mentioning that some of the tests perform differently based on your computers speed (test 26 for example). Even though it passes that particular test, it may have not done it in the recommended time frame.

  7. Thanks Intranet! on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    You employ web standards terribly! Good work!

  8. Re:So where is the APP for the tip box? on Starbucks Gets Mobile Payment System · · Score: 1

    Multiple cups of coffee have now been consumed. My actions completely contradict what I said. I tip both the pizza guy and a my bartender. Though having said that, considering how simple my order usually is (black coffee), I don't think a tip is needed.

  9. Re:So where is the APP for the tip box? on Starbucks Gets Mobile Payment System · · Score: 1

    If they're expecting tips, then maybe they should be paid the $2.33 an hour (in Wisconsin) a tipped employee makes.

  10. Re:Enough free water for frost? on Latest Mars Photos Show Frosty Landscapes, Ancient Lakebeds · · Score: 2

    From the article: "HiRISE scientists say the frost is likely water frost instead of of CO2 frost because temperatures at this latitude probably do not get cold enough for carbon dioxide to condense."

  11. Re:Did They Take the Docs? on CIA Launches WTF To Investigate Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    ...bastard. Clearly we need more resources allocated towards this.

  12. Re:Did They Take the Docs? on CIA Launches WTF To Investigate Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    They're looking for anything they can to bust Wikileaks/Assange. By the way, I'm surprised no one has commented on how outrages it is that the government is spending US tax dollars this way.

  13. Re:It sure is cold out here. on Voyager 1 Beyond Solar Wind · · Score: 1

    I'd really like to see a short story written in the point of view from Voyager 1...

  14. Re:Data transfers on Voyager 1 Beyond Solar Wind · · Score: 1

    Kind of interesting to think, get ~500,000 people to shell out $1.55. Micro donations could fund the future of science.

  15. Re:Legibility on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    Yes, that confirms that it is designed for sub pixel rendering. Just as we already agreed that it did. Just saying, what does it look like without, or on a different display. You can't just claim that this is as good as it can possibly look just from a guess.

  16. Re:Legibility on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it'll only look right if you view it on the same type of display. Otherwise it could just look quite strange and blurry. Just because the font is designed to take advantage of sub pixel rendering doesn't mean that it can't be rendered without it. We haven't even seen the text without clear type yet. There is no telling how good/bad it could look, especially compared to if you are viewing the above image on a different display.

  17. Re:Legibility on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    It could... depends on what type of display you are using. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_geometry

  18. Re:Great.... on Batteries Smaller Than a Grain of Salt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The connector is larger than the battery! Actually, considering the small size of these, let's pair it up with some wireless power action. Then we'd be in business.

  19. Re:Why not use in batteries for gadgets? on Batteries Smaller Than a Grain of Salt · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The batteries in TFA are more dense, and have a higher capacity for storage in smaller amounts.

  20. Re:Any 'learning' bots? on StarCraft AI Competition Results · · Score: 4, Funny

    A bot that learns from loses? An interesting game. It seems the only winning move is to be Korean.

  21. Theme Music on DARPA To Turn Humans Into Batteries · · Score: 1

    by 2050 embedded devices will allow us to immerse ourselves in a sea of not just visual data, but also computer-generated sounds and sensations.

    Want theme music in your life? There's an app for that.

  22. Re:Think of the towers on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    If somebody could crash the cell towers, what about the GPS satellites!?!

  23. Re:You only need one on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 1

    Most people are able to notice if a peice is incorrectly flipped, he will probably call you out on it, and it will end up making him look even better.

  24. More money!? on China to Use Silver Iodide & Dry Ice to Control the Weather · · Score: 1

    So overall how much have the chinese spent on the 2008 summer olympics? Seriously.

  25. Retarded.... on City-Provided Wi-Fi Rejected Over "Health Concerns" · · Score: 1

    Recently a new cell phone tower was to be placed on a public school property, and the owners of the tower were going to pay the school district a nice sum every month for allowing them to do so. It would have brought in thousands of dollars each month. Yet they company was denied to place a tower there because of "health concerns." It really makes me sick how people could be such idiots. I'd put my nuts on the line any day to improve the education of young people.
