  1. Its not a kernel bug on GCC 4.3.0 Exposes a Kernel Bug · · Score: 1

    If it was "exposed" by changing the compiler, the bug is in the compiler.
    The kernels compiled with earlier GCC versions don't have the bug,right?
    If someone changes the rules, and expects everyone to know it beforehand, it would be a fault in that guy, not the people abiding by the old rules.

  2. Re:Amaranth on Newly Discovered Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would choose quinoa instead.

  3. Re:Why would regeneration ability be lost in mamma on Zebrafish Regenerative Ability May Lead To Help In Humans · · Score: 1

    Genome has interrelated genes, so turning regeneration on can be beneficial, but it also can turn on undesirable genes/RNA.Not necessary cancer but it may be something like 20% more susceptibility to malaria or something selected against in the far past.
    it could be something which monkeys had problem with or entirely freak mutation which had more survival potential.
    Its like the case with internal Vitamin C production which humans lack,but goats possess.

  4. Re:Sounds like an abuse cool technology on Google's New Patent on Commercial Breaks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot has alot of google fanboys.
    "Do no evil" is just marketing gimmick, its another corporation with commercial appetite. Wait for ten years and Google will show its true colors.

  5. Re:Scientology is NOT being attacked by Anonymous on Scientology Injunction Denied Against "Anonymous" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oldfags are the Alzheimers killing 4chan.

  6. Re:How do we know it's the Chinese? on The Secret China-U.S. Hacking War? · · Score: 1

    Since the barriers to owning networks and computers are low and the expertise to secure them is rare, this scenario plays out in every country without a strong IT base(or those which do not wish to employ any networking staff).
    Same thing with wireless networks.

    google "NTP exploit"

  8. i tried 3.0b3 on Mozilla Releases Firefox 3 Beta 4 · · Score: 1

    quite fast and seems to be more slick looking. However after intalling one extension(suppose to be compatible with 3.0) it crashed and after deleting it(3.0) i discovered my firefox 2.0 cookies,some preferences and some extension data gone.Had to spend a hour to get it all back into my settings(mostly about:config).
    I'll check it after few months after official release.

  9. Sounds exactly on Spreading "1 in 5" Number Does More Harm Than Good · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How creationists find "evidence" for their theories.

  10. The future is now on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 1

    I don't care about what financial model their undertake; all MMOrpgs are based on stat pumping or grind. They focus on things
    that are not FUN to play at all (more "realistic" just ruins games).

  11. The basis of these on Natural Selection Can Act on Human Culture · · Score: 1

    natural selections, market forces, memetics is that world doesn't tolerate failure.
    A success of a scheme increases it popularity. The marginal but superior technology or meme will dominate long-term while less-adapted or relevant things will fade into obscurity.

    The idea of being green is not creating Big Corn as alternative to Big Oil.

  14. Stupid design on W3C Gets Excessive DTD Traffic · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Astronomers make hologram? on Australian Astronomers Make Interstellar Hologram · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Astronomers make hologram? on Australian Astronomers Make Interstellar Hologram · · Score: 1

    That hologram was created from temporal changes in the light captured(with guesstimates about the fields the light goes through), it didn't exist in the light.
    Information in this case is an interpretation(or reification) of scientists parameters, light data, and correlation by computer into one hologram.

  18. Re:Astronomers make hologram? on Australian Astronomers Make Interstellar Hologram · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Information(such as hologram) doesn't exist outside the context of conscious systems able to interpret it. Light doesn't carry the information, the patterns are arising from temporal changes in light.

  19. Re:True... for everyone but you of course on Multitasking Makes You Stupid and Slow · · Score: 1

    And all this research on performance is neatly refuted by existence of korean starcraft players.

    Bush doesn't live in Andromeda galaxy. He not a figurehead either, and his decisions affect every man on Earth. people like you hide their head in the sand and mutter mindlessly about how Bush is incapable of affecting them in any way possible.
    This cellphone spying program is the direct result of fear-mongering brought by the same Administration which hunts for weapons of Mass Destruction everywhere.

  21. Re:Low memory requirements from ms... on Windows 7 To Be Released Next Year? · · Score: 1

    Windows 98 uses 39MB after boot(with minimal configuration and networking) and WinXP about twice that with most services disabled.
    Windows 3.11 suppose to run in 8MB ram machines.
    "barely 480MB" is like saying my hardrive is barely 300GB.Most computers in use today use 512MB ram (with 1GB being prevalent in new machines)480mb is 93% of RAM.

  22. Asteroid misions are important on Asteroid Missions May Replace Lunar Base Plans · · Score: 1

    They provide valuable data on contents and structure of these rocks. Moon doesn't have a chance to fall on Earth anytime, but these
      zap through atmosphere everyday.
    There are dozens of large asteroids which pass pretty close http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/

  23. Re:European Mindset? on French Fine Amazon For Free Shipping · · Score: 1

    That protectionism is all beneficial to industry, but the industry itself is obsolete.
      I can download pirated harry potter books at near-zero(net/electricity) cost from any pirate site. Besides there is large cultural shift from books,radio,TV,journals to digital media (wikis,articles,video,etc).

  24. Re:Discounting the price of a book? on French Fine Amazon For Free Shipping · · Score: 1

    I find no fault in these descriptions of capitalism. Its the "side-effects" of capitalism people like to forget as statistical noise.

  25. Re:Paradigm Shift on The State of Security in MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    I agree, except the skills based approach should be as fun as possible for unskilled players to not drive them off the game.
    The MMORPGs should be more like second life, then massive RPG. User-designed content/scripts/items/areas,etc, lack of statistics which reflect time investment and user-friendly atmosphere with intuitive interface.
