  1. Much funnier... on Why the World Is Running Out of Helium · · Score: 1

    are the deep 'monster' voices of really dense gases.

  2. Re:Who do we blame? on Researchers Reprogram Voting Machine To Run Pac-man · · Score: 1

    The voter can look at the paper to make sure it's what he voted before dropping it into the box.

  3. Re:Are you sure...? on Medieval Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    There's quite a few of those that could be broken in two. I'm not sure there's exactly ten in the other list either.

    "...I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke" ...which is to say, the original 10 commandments.

    Read verses 27 and 28 together:

    27 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel." 28 Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

    It clearly says "write down these words...", not the other ones

  4. Re:Um... shouldn't traffic lights come first? on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suggest you come over here for a couple of days.

    There's plenty of pre-assembled cameras on our street corners, help yourself....

  5. Re:Are you sure...? on Medieval Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    ...should of course say "Exodus 34:28".

  6. Re:Are you sure...? on Medieval Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    I don't see where it says those are the Ten Commandments.

    The only place in the Bible where it says "the Ten Commandments" is Exodus 24:38.

  7. Are you sure...? on Medieval Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Here's the relevant chapter.

    Can you point us to the line where it says "Thou shalt not steal"....?

  8. Should be: on Researchers Zero In On Protein That Destroys HIV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Using a big-ass microscope, researchers have..."

  9. Re:Not ready for humans yet on Researchers Zero In On Protein That Destroys HIV · · Score: 1

    Will it still work after the virus mutates?

  10. Re:The sound of bubble sort on Sorting Algorithms — Boring Until You Add Sound · · Score: 1

    Yep, I've seen optimized implementations of quicksort which drop down to bubble sort when there's only three or four elements in the current subdivision.

    PS: The one in the video could easily be optimized to go twice as fast and would beat some of the others if you did.

  11. Re:Jesus Christ on RIAA Wants 'Net Neutrality' To Include Filtering · · Score: 1

    Why? The government does the exact same thing all the time.

    Need extra homeland-spying powers? Just invoke "terrorists" and "pedophiles" and you can pass any law.

  12. Re:Stephenie Meyer is a talentless hack on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 1

    Where's the sexy romantic/emo angle with zombies? They just shuffle around brainlessly.

  13. Zombie rappers? on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Grills glinting in the sunlight as they shuffle towards you.

  14. Re:Why? on Intel Buys McAfee · · Score: 2, Funny

    I figure they'll "optimize" it for Intel (read: "detect AMD chips and add delay loops when they find them") then use it as a benchmark in the sort of magazines that pointy haired bosses read.

  15. Re:Same for coax vs. optical ... on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    I've seen HiFi magazines review optical cables to see which is best.

    Conclusion: Some cables gave deeper, more solid bass.

    If you want to know why this is rubbish just get a sound file in an editor like sound forge and move one of the samples up or down a little bit. See what happens to the sound.

    If you can't do that just get a .wav file and a hex editor, find out exactly how audible a single bit error is.

    Go ahead, really do it.

    (Obviously something mellow will work better than thrash metal...)

    Still reading...?

  16. Re:Who is this moron? on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    Because there's laws against swindlers. Unfortunately these guys aren't covered by them.

  17. Sunglasses? on Minority Report Style Iris Scanners In Mexico · · Score: 1

    "Sir ... he just ... disappeared!"

    (Or even: "Señor .... ha .... disapericido!")

  18. Dude you missed the point on NAB, RIAA May Seek Mandate For FM Radios In Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    He said "antenna" and "iPhone" in the same sentence. That makes it an obFunny.

    I wonder how many enemy's sons her son killed...oh, wait, they don't count.

  22. Re:It may not be more stimulating on How Can I Make Testing Software More Stimulating? · · Score: 1

    For coded tests (unit testing), sure.

    Sitting and using the program? Not so clear-cut. The programmer usually never does weird stuff or tries to load massive files like the users do.

  23. Re:How far is too far? on Convicted NY Drunk Drivers Need Ignition Interlocks · · Score: 1

    is it absolutely necessary to take their precautionary measures this far?

    What's the point of installing it if you don't?

    And if they didn't I'm sure you'd be all, like, "this is useless!!!"

  24. Re:To Answer Logistic Questions on Convicted NY Drunk Drivers Need Ignition Interlocks · · Score: 2, Funny

    This sounds incredibly dangerous

    You think so?

    please tell me it's not just an instant cutoff with a timer.

    Do you really think the designers didn't think of that? Maybe they could hire you as a consultant for $1000 and hour...

  25. Duh! on Convicted NY Drunk Drivers Need Ignition Interlocks · · Score: 1

    You really imagine they didn't think of that one two seconds into the meeting? Maybe they should hire super-geniuses like you as consultants.
