  1. Re:The Revolution? on British Drivers Destroying Surveillance Cameras · · Score: 1

    Well it seems it's too much to ask them to quote it properly - it's essential liberty and temporary safety for a start.

  2. Re:Amazing dedication, big fat wallet? on Extreme Christmas Lights In Orlando · · Score: 1

    My neighbor, who isn't really decked out as much as some, said his bill will be over $600 more this months for his lighting scheme.
    I'm surprised you can fit that many bulbs on a trailer.
  3. Re:Squirrelmail is a pile of shit anyway on SquirrelMail Repository Poisoned · · Score: 1

    No, and it's not a productivity tool either - quite the opposite.

    In summary: whooooosh!

  4. Re:OB In Soviet Russia on Flying Humans · · Score: 1

    Who do they think they are - Chuck Norris?

  5. Re:Welp, that's it. on Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Being able to suggest it is indeed freedom of speech. However the fact that someone comes out and does so implies that there's a reasonable chance of it being implemented. Politicians don't like to look foolish.

  6. Re:More Design on Are You Proud of Your Code? · · Score: 1

    Ever wondered why medicine, engineering and law are considered professions, but software development isn't?

    The answer is people like you.

  7. Re:You've got it coming... on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    Sensible enough. There are no benefits to be obtained from starving your kid, at least for your kid.
    Not so sure. Some of them could easily skip a meal or ten without coming to much harm.
  8. Re:WTF? That's incredibly stupid! on An Acerbic Look At the Future of Reading · · Score: 2, Informative

    O'Reilly used to do something like that. Safari, I think it was called. No idea if it's still going.

  9. Re:Heh on An Acerbic Look At the Future of Reading · · Score: 1

    Clay tablets don't use an LCD. Are they paper?

  10. Re:Newark on Alabama Schools to be First in US to Get XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it couldn't possibly be a jibe at the racist guy. For, I dunno, being racist or something.

  11. Re:Let's wait for a bit on Radiation Not As Hazardous As Once Believed · · Score: 1

    One person in Ireland every year gets cancer because of the potassium content of the person they're sleeping with
    I'm intrigued by this concept of having more than one person in a bed. Are they so poor in Ireland that they have to share? Or is just due to the cold?
  12. Re:here's a shocker on Methane-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    What you're missing is that C02 != Carbon - one can make the former without making the latter and that's one of the things burning organic matter does. The fact that the carbon originally came from the atmosphere way back when is irrelevant. It's chemistry not history.

    Perhaps you should spend more time on reading the context of threads rather than being a patronising tit?

  13. Odd on Torvalds on Where Linux is Headed in 2008 · · Score: 1

    No mention in TFA of this. Could this be the breakthrough?

  14. Re:Global warming is bullshit on Methane-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 0, Troll

    even if the last 10 years were the hottest, which they have not been (1930's were hotter),

    P.S. It's usually over near the left side of the keyboard.

    I don't know about you, but when I say I'm making water I don't mean I'm actually creating the component atoms.

  16. Re:last straw on Interconnecting Wind Farms To Smooth Power Production · · Score: 1

    Well that really worked for yours, didn't it?

    (Just typing something random to fill in the time)

  17. Duh on Head First SQL · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a good intro book but nothing of use to a seasoned DBA.
    There's not much in it for an aircraft pilot or a pastry chef either.

    Maybe there's a business opportunity selling slip-on fake covers...

  19. Re:Don't get in over your head... on Head First SQL · · Score: 1

    When I say a 'query' I mean reading only (and yes, I know that SQL includes updates and I know what the Q in SQL stands for (except it doesn't really anyway )).

  20. Re:here's a shocker on Methane-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Plants releasing CO2? That defies basic biology.
    It doesn't defy basic chemistry. If you set them on fire, that is.
  21. Re:Solution #2 on Methane-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    The difference, as you no doubt know, is that people such as farmers also work in the country. Fat hummer-driving lawyers and failed politicians generally don't.

    However, when you do this, you prejudice all other queries. Many queries may take far longer to run, or may not be possible at all.
    And what about updating - both from a performance and a complexity pont of view.
