  1. Re:Wow..... on Nanotubes Start to Show their Promise · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have my tits get hot than cooked internally.

  2. Re:Simple. on Search Engines Break AU Online Gambling Ban? · · Score: 1

    What if they don't have such a set?

  3. Forgot on U.S. Okays Virgin Galactic Plans · · Score: 1

    Oh, and, also, you said the V word on a geek website, teehee :P

  4. At last? on U.S. Okays Virgin Galactic Plans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe that getting private companies in the space race will be beneficial in the end. It's better if you have many people experimenting on something than just having one person. It just remains to see what will happen.

  5. Interesting. on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 1

    I was wondering how accurate were the results that the companies themselves reported. Or are they accurate, but they just spidered sites that don't matter to anyone?

  6. Re:Hey, I happen to like this... on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think it promotes linux... I think they're actually making fun of it where they say "you have to compile it, patch the kernel, etc". (I'm not being a troll).

  7. Re:I say, awesome. on NASA Supporting Nanotech Development · · Score: 1

    Or they could use something infinitely small to explore the infinitely large.

  8. Re:you can't do that on Advertising of the Future, Already Here · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, but what if by getting that implant you can have a screen/pc with you at all times, even connected to the net? It's the same as the internet or any other medium, you're using it because it's very useful but the ads are still annoying.

  9. Ouch on Advertising of the Future, Already Here · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Gah, it'll be a grim future when you can't avoid ads by closing your eyes (because they'll be projected inside your eye).

  10. Re:These things are COMPLEX. on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 1

    Because everyone on /. knows asm.

  11. Re:These things are COMPLEX. on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 1

    And memory initialization was simple, ummm... 9 bytes + 3 bytes per 256 bytes of memory cleared.

    How much is that for a few hundred megabytes of memory? :)

  12. Re:dupe on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 1

    Not every Wiki is Wikipedia, for crying out loud.

    Correction: Not every wiki that looks like Wikipedia is Wikipedia. It does look the same, but when the URL starts with http://www.xbox-linux.org/, that's kind of a giveaway.

  13. Then they must have saved a fortune on Scottish Police Revert to Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    in loading times with StarOffice. I really really avoid .doc files because of Word loading times. The new Office loads relatively quickly, but the older versions have made me avoid it whenever I can. Not to mention that I hate having to load all that functionality for stuff that even WordPad can do.

  14. Re:Let's see. on BitTorrent for Content Providers · · Score: 1

    Bah, you know I meant a client BESIDES the browser :P

  15. Re:CodeZoo on Slashback: Start, Trash, Explain · · Score: 5, Informative

    Indeed. I was just browsing and this seems especially useful: http://www.scipy.org/. It's a mathematical library addon for python (turning it into a sort of matlab).

  16. Re:Let's see. on BitTorrent for Content Providers · · Score: 2, Informative

    And the tracker has great stats for everything, from downloads to bytes transferred between peers.

  17. Let's see. on BitTorrent for Content Providers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hopefully with this companies will start to use BT as an alternative to http/ftp. The downside is that you have to have a client, but I bet that browsers will have integrated BT support soon (the new Opera does, FF has a plugin). And the savings for the server range from a LOT to none, and even none can't hurt, since if nothing else you at least have a great download client able to resume downloads, download huge files, etc.

  18. Re:Things will always change on What are the Next Programming Models? · · Score: 1

    Not so much of a neverending quest... We have tools for jobs, others are better for a job, others are better for another job. Use whatever suits you. From time to time, better tools do come out, or tools for new jobs, but some tools are perfect for what you want them and are never obsolete.

  19. Re:Does this mean... on Genetic Discrimination in the IT Workplace · · Score: 1

    Indeed it does. But don't expect to get paid :P

  20. Re:Well, gee whiz on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    No, I look at the site of the code before I download the code. Which is also why I would download the .exe from the drivey site but not from the direct article link.

  21. Re:Mirror, anyone? on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    Just use the coral link, it works.

    I guess it does, if you actually sent the email :P

  24. Re:There is a difference... on Tim Berners-Lee on Blogging And The Web · · Score: 1

    It's all a matter of taste. Maybe the sites you find stimulating are not as stimulating to other people. My page (plug) is the absolute best page on the entire internet, but it doesn't have all that many visitors.

  25. Re:Lame on Tim Berners-Lee on Blogging And The Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He talks about that in his book, he says that he didn't make the web to make money, and that he doesn't mind that people made much money off it. At least that's what I remember, it's been a while since I read it. It's called Weaving the Web, I think.
