  3. Re:Transmission on Scottish Wave Energy Plans Move Forward · · Score: 1

    Nice and blurry JPEG.

  4. Direct lunar power on Scottish Wave Energy Plans Move Forward · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there is a way to get power directly from the gravitational pull of the moon. Just asking.

  5. typical microsoft... on How Sony and Microsoft Hope To Crack the Motion Control Market · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...copy something else. And call it their own.

  6. twitter on Google Indexing In Near-Realtime · · Score: 1

    This sounds a bit like Twitter. Put your content in one hole and it comes out lots of places.

  7. kinda done now on Google Indexing In Near-Realtime · · Score: 4, Informative

    If google notices your site/blog updates frequently the bot will come around more often and especially if its a high page rank site.

  8. Culture is a meme on The Role of Human Culture In Natural Selection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First culture is a meme post.
    Culture is a parasite and the host is people.
    It just wants to propagate itself.

  9. Maybe not a crisis on Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices · · Score: 0

    Just do:

    if (hasCompass())
    {
        doCompassStuff()
    }

    etc

  10. WiFi on New Method for Random Number Generation Developed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I always thought the WiFi radio in laptops would be a good thing for generating random numbers.

  11. Re:Experience VS Value on "Logan's Run" Syndrome In Programming · · Score: 1

    Inflation adjusted hopefully.

  12. gas leak on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 1

    Won't be so nice for the environment when the new gas line springs a leak.

  13. Re:Privacy? Why? on Did We Lose the Privacy War? · · Score: 1

    You have a point but at least in the real world the authorities need a warrant to search your house, etc.

  14. Re:Incorrect information in the summary on Google.cn Still Remains In China · · Score: 1

    There were postings at the time showing search results from google.cn as queried from China.
    The censorship was not there.

  15. Re:bckwrds on Facebook Now Supports Jabber/XMPP · · Score: 1

    Oh, I'm stupid. I forgot that was my userid.

  16. He might have a point... on Google Considered Too Big To Fail · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... but he probably doesn't.

  17. bckwrds on Facebook Now Supports Jabber/XMPP · · Score: 1

    I logged in with Pidgin.

    Its weird everyone logs in with the username "bckwrds". Really - http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php

    Too bad SSL / TLS isn't supported.

  18. lazy on Google Rejects Australian Censorship Proposal · · Score: 1

    They're probably trying to avoid work more than anything else.

  19. virgin territory on How Do You Accurately Estimate Programming Time? · · Score: 1

    By its nature software is always virgin territory. If it had been before then why are they asking you to do it? So its hard to estimate how long it will take because its never been done before.

  20. Re:It is a tiny market. on Microsoft Phasing Out FAST Search For Linux, Unix · · Score: 1

    I could see that measly 2 billion growing as it becomes more integrated into other stuff in the enterprise.

  21. Re:Uh, yeah... on Microsoft Phasing Out FAST Search For Linux, Unix · · Score: 1

    Yeah, no kidding.
    Of course it would be impossible to do innovation on the *nix platforms too.

  22. Re:Much more important features missing on GIMP 2.8 Will Sport a Redesigned UI · · Score: 1

    Well maybe. But if users can't stand using (because of multiple windows everywhere) then they'll never have a chance to find out that's missing.

  23. www.esa.int on International Space Station Cupola Video Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like the use of the .int top-level-domain.

  24. Re:Are most programmes multi-processor? on Intel Details Upcoming Gulftown Six-Core Processor · · Score: 1

    I read recently that the new Firefox uses a separate core garbage collection.

  25. Re:php-eaccelerator on Facebook's HipHop Also a PHP Webserver · · Score: 1

    I read the article but I see how you might think I didn't. I was pointing out an existing alternative to compiling into C++.

    Do you have a link for your compiler - er - accelerator?
