  1. Yeah... on Vista RC1 Build 5728 Publicly Released · · Score: 0

    So what's your point? :p

  2. Aha! on Fish Work as Anti-terror Agents · · Score: 1

    Judging by Bluegill B's lungs, I'd say it drowned.

  3. Re:Big deal on The Ultimate Blog Post · · Score: 1

    It goes up to 11?

  4. Big deal on The Ultimate Blog Post · · Score: 1

    This always happens to me. Come to think of it, it seems that 6 is a bit high.

  5. Re:2000 years? on The Ultimate Blog Post · · Score: 1

    It's probably just wooshitis.

  6. Re:4 Greeks out of 35 on MIT Announces Top 35 Innovators Under 35 · · Score: 1

    Oh man, don't even get me started on the news. There are decent channels, NET, MEGA, etc, but Star and Alpha suck ass. I think we're the only nation that apparently cares if women in Athens went to the shops today or if X celebrity broke up with Y. Woo!

  7. Does it contain all four movies? on Sony's PSP Memory Stick Entertainment Packs Shipping · · Score: 1

    If it contains all movies and you just unlock them, can't someone just copy them to the PC and unlock one after the other? And why would they want to?!

  8. I don't get it on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    I don't get it; aren't humans only able to hear up to 20 KHz or so? Doesn't the Shannon-Nyquist theorem tell us that we can reconstruct those frequencies perfectly from a signal sampled at 40 KHz? Shouldn't the CD's 44 KHz be enough?

    Can someone explain it to me? Is it an audiophile thing?

  9. Re:About speed. on IronPython 1.0 is Born · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's great, I had forgotten about that. Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll try it.

  10. Or, if you're using Opera... on IronPython 1.0 is Born · · Score: 1

    Press Ctrl+F11. I love this browser.

  11. About speed. on IronPython 1.0 is Born · · Score: 5, Informative

    I found that Python could run extremely well on the CLR in many cases noticeably faster than the C-based implementation.

    Actually, that's not really something to be proud about (though I'm not downplaying the huge achievement of running python on the CLR). The C implementation of Python is not very optimised, and that's why projects like PyPy or psyco are trying to speed Python up (and succeeding very well). I've had CPU-intensive scripts (such as SortSize) run tens of times faster with psyco, by just adding a line of code to my script.

  12. Re:We're doomed! on Nanocosmetics Used Since Ancient Egypt · · Score: 1

    No, there are actually Egyptians, Greeks and Romans (well, Italians?) today. +5, Informative!

  13. Also, talking on mobile phones. on Nanocosmetics Used Since Ancient Egypt · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, talking on mobile phones is also safe, since new data has uncovered that ancient Egyptians used to talk as well!

  14. What are you talking about? on Subliminal Spam Using an Animated GIF · · Score: 1

    I doubt anyone actually read it. It's huge, everybody knows they don't care beforehand, and they're all looking out for the hidden frames.

  15. A trip?! on The Internet Not for Old People · · Score: 2, Funny

    MAKING PLANS for a trip to Russia?! My, aren't we adventurous?!

  16. Re:Not quite... on ISPs Fight Against Encrypted BitTorrent Downloads · · Score: 1

    Haha, didn't you even read the whole sig? It's for a 20 MB account. OH NOES, SOME CUSTOMER IS USING 18MB, ALERT.

  17. Not quite... on ISPs Fight Against Encrypted BitTorrent Downloads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, to their defense, if they didn't oversell their prices would be quite higher.

  18. Switching off the internet. on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 1

    Which hours?

  19. Also... on Heroic IT Dept Less Likely to Steal... Lunches? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also because the higher-ups are used to stealing!

    Thank you, I'll be here for a bit.

  20. Or... on Novell Story Site Launched · · Score: 1

    You need a license for your pet fish eric and you wouldn't need one to run your computer?

  21. Quantum computers on Vista the Last of Its Kind · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Quantum computing units will probably be an addon, like the GPU or the math coprocessor. You only need them to do some semi-specialised stuff like search, I don't think they'd help in displaying graphics and the like. It's scary how they can search an entire space at once though.

  22. He could very well be selling FOSS. on Man Gets 6 Years for Software Piracy · · Score: 1

    Think anyone'd notice?

  23. You're wrong. on Computer Designed Car Sets Speed Record · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're full of it. The article is 100% true.

    This post was designed by a computer.

  24. Hardware keyloggers suck. on The Problems of Web Surfing in Public Places · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm very wary of typing stuff in public terminals nowadays, because even if I have a USB drive with a virtual OS on it (or at least a copy of Opera), I'm still paranoid that it might have a hardware keylogger attached (although I'm not really worth anything). You can't really protect against that.

  25. SoaP didn't make me want to put Snakes on a Plane on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    But it did make me to want to watch the movie.
