  1. Is it like a real snake? on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 1

    Or does it just hiss pseudo-random noise?

  2. Re:Does the RIAA have a licensed proctologist? on RIAA Wants $1.5 Million Per CD Copied · · Score: 1

    It has to be painful pulling garbage like this out of their asses. Not when you're THAT big of an asshole. The RIAA could pull a dump truck out of their asses and not feel a thing. Actually, it's so big the RIAA could easily shove all their heads up it... Oh wait, they already are up there.
  3. Re:Self-rejection? on Teen Takes On Donor's Immune System · · Score: 1

    Eh?

  4. Re:Ah, the "Humpty Dumpty" defense on Nokia Claims Ogg Format is "Proprietary" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's a corollary of Embrace, Extend and Extinguish.

  5. Re:But then ... on Countering the Arguments Against Unbundling Windows · · Score: 1

    And what's a propanda? Yogi from China?

  6. Re: Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft deal on Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft Deal · · Score: 1

    If true, that's one hefty typo, considering that A and L are at completely opposite ends of the QWERTY keyboard.

  7. Re: Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft deal on Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft Deal · · Score: 1

    ..."totally rips apart the Novell/Deal patent protection deal"... Who's Deal?

  8. One game we're likely to not see this fall... on 7 Games You Might Miss This Fall · · Score: 1

    ...would be Duke Nukem Forever! :p

  9. My goodness... on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    Is it just a coincidence that this revolt is occurring during a full moon?

  10. Let's hope... on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    ...that this shows those greedy MAFIAA folks that consumers don't want to be just consumers!

  11. Re:You also have to look for what you applications on Preparing Your Datacenters for DST Changes? · · Score: 1

    > This is fine and dandy for most things, but I ran into one small glitch. For any events that are scheduled between the new start of DST and the old start of DST (roughly a 3 week period), if they were created BEFORE the patch was applied, they are now off by 1 hour AFTER the patch is applied.

    Perhaps if you had inputted your events on your program's terms by scheduling them one hour early -- since your program didn't know about the DST change, but you did -- then, after you apply the patch, your events are scheduled properly.

    But then again, you probably didn't know this bug existed before you applied the patch.

  12. Submitter got his science wrong on Strange Bacteria Sustains Itself Without Sunlight · · Score: 0, Troll

    You don't split water into hydrogen gas. You split water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.

  13. Re:Sadly on Dvorak on Windows Genuine Advantage · · Score: 1

    Like Dr. Soong?

    "Often Wrong's got a broken heart; can't even tell his boys apart."

  14. Re:What they don't tell you on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Well, if they still want their goddamn Kanye West CD, they're still eatin' out of the record labels' hands, and when the record labels hold their hands out expecting to receive money, bam! The teenagers bite the record labels' hands. Hard.

    So what if you bite the hand that feeds you, I guess...

  15. Re:Cryllic better than Japanese on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    It's "Cyrillic", not 'Cryllic'.

  16. Re:You don't have to extend the VM though on Slashback: Disney Copyright, Alaa Freed, Kelo Repealed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ..."the company is ruminating over two major issues: how to keep Java compatible and ensure no particular company uses market forces as muscle for its own implementation,"... **cough**Microsoft**cough** Of course, Sun sued Microsoft's Java implementation out of existence, so I don't think that's really a problem.

  17. The link doesn't work on MS Thinks OOo is 10 Years Behind · · Score: 1

    Clicking on the link gives me a "cannot find server" error, and using Coral gives me a 503 error. Sorry, but this is a phantom story.

  18. Re:Back to (Tiananmen) Square One? on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 1

    > There is no freedom in China. There is no happiness in China.

    Because of this very reason, I have adopted the argument that "China is not a sovereign country," i.e., I no longer recognize the PRC's existence.

  19. Re:last year the US proposed to cancel this update on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 1

    The previous leap second was 23:59:60 UTC on Dec 31, 1998. So this leap second is the first in 7 years, not 5.

  20. Re:a question on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 1

    No, it was 6:59:60 PM.

  21. Re:WWV on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 1

    I got a recording of it too. During the leap second, there was no tick, and the digital time code had a binary zero in it.

  22. Re:Bell$outh on Free Wi-fi Prompts BellSouth to Withdraw Donation · · Score: 1

    What, no Euro $¥mbo£$?

  23. Re:Taiwan foreignministry when noone recognizes th on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    > Every other country recognizes the One China as the Red China. Sure, that may be true of countries, but individuals do not have to. I, for one, do not recognize any country that pisses on human rights, so I view the "People's Republic of China" as illegitimate, as well as North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. If a country does not give its citizens lawful control of their own lives, then in my mind's eye, it's not a country at all.

  24. Re:Simple solution on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    And what about the Republic of Cyprus? There's a sort-of breakaway political situation there, with the so-called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus".

  25. Re:Dubbing can be strange on Central Park Media Lets Fans Cast "Outlanders" · · Score: 1

    I don't really think I can answer your question, but I have only ever liked *one* animé title (i.e. Sailor Moon), and I have only seen its dubbed version in full. But I have seen a few snippets of its subtitled version, and I think I could judge it to be okay.
