  1. Re:Digital Blasphemy on Photographers, You're Being Replaced By Software · · Score: 1

    #1 is remarkable. #2 is pretty clearly not a simple picture, it would have to at least be filtered/digitally edited. Both are good though, and I could see being confused with those hehe.

  2. Re:10% of SpaceX employees NASA alums on SpaceX's Falcon 9 Successfully Reaches Orbit · · Score: 1

    I'm confused... 10% = most?

  3. Re:Forbes vs. The Oatmeal? on Disentangling Facts From Fantasy In the World of Edison and Tesla · · Score: 1

    I have seen a few people post the Oatmeal's comic as a representation of the truth finally being talked about.

  4. Re:Why delete the recordings? on US Justice Dept Defends Right To Record Police · · Score: 1

    Most police?

    That would imply at least over 50% are totally cool with putting innocent people in jail. Do you know this for a fact, or are you just saying this because of highly publicized police corruption stories?

    And yes, they exist and yes, some policemen are corrupt, liars, and brutal. But saying that most of them are seems remarkably speculative and extremely inflammatory.

  5. Re:Ward's Wiki on Interview With Ward Cunningham · · Score: 1

    ... I guess there's an edit war going on. ;)

    It's been vandalized... :/

  7. Re:Digital Blasphemy on Photographers, You're Being Replaced By Software · · Score: 1

    a lot of people see the nature scenes and think they're photographs

    I can see thinking they started with photographs, but really? They need to get outside more. :)

  8. Re:plasticLogic == vaporware on Plastic Logic Shows Off a Color ePaper Screen · · Score: 3, Informative
    I don't see any mention of bankruptcy?

    They shut down their plans for Que but other than that...

  9. Re:Speaking as a hipster on Google Patents Using iPhones To Kill 'Free Bird' · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would reply with a great comment, but I don't think you'd get it. Besides, I was replying to your comment before it was highly rated.*

    .

    * ok, so that's not true.

  10. Re:P2P had no effect on music sales? on What Various Studies Really Reveal About File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    most likely would never fly on its own.

    Didn't he start on youtube, though?

  11. Re:Correlation is not causation on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 5, Informative

    Did you read the article? It's not just "they have brain damage." It was specifically that they had trauma induced brain damage.

  12. Re:Introducing html markup! on Why eBook DRM Has To Go · · Score: 1

    Capital letters are cross platform, though. ;)

  13. Re:More Linux fragmentation... on MATE Desktop 1.2 Released · · Score: 1

    because it is effectively this years version of MS-DOS.

    Do you mean that as a sort of metaphor, or do you think Windows 7 (and 8, shortly) actually is MS-DOS based?

  14. Re:So, protect you from *yourself*?? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, remember that religious people are incapable of logical reasoning.

    As a "religious person," I feel entirely convinced you have logically come to this conclusion.

    My bad, religious people are unable to accept reality as well.

    As well as this. Well, this one makes sense, as long as you define reality as what you believe to be true; thus, anyone who thinks differently is denying reality.

  15. Not April Fool's on Yahoo To Implement Do Not Track · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is from three days ago on cnet.

    Does not appear to be an AF joke.

  16. Re:If it only helped... on Microsoft Leads Sting Operation Against Zeus Botnets · · Score: 1

    And everyone clicks "Allow" anyways :)

  17. Re:It's lucky that the study didn't find the oppos on Do Women Make Better Bosses? · · Score: 1

    I hate this notion people have that research is somehow censored

    Those ones sure don't get a lot of air time. ;)

  18. Compton's? on Wikipedia Didn't Kill Brittanica — Encarta Did · · Score: 1

    According to wikipedia, Compton's was the first multimedia CD-ROM encyclopedia. I think we had a copy of it, too.

  19. Re:What's the point? on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    Quality, well-made coffee is a completely different story. The current method of making decaf though completely alters and ruins the coffee taste. I'd kill for a decaf that actually tastes like, you know, coffee.

    This :) I like coffee. "Folgers" doesn't count, though... it tastes terrible.

  20. Re:Caffeine-free coffee on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    IMO, flavored (as in when the bean is somehow flavored, not a syrup) coffees taste worse. :P

  21. Re:Caffeine-free coffee on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 2

    Some people like the taste of coffee, cream, and sugar, but can't have caffeine. Like my wife.

  22. There is a point in that ... on Google 'Wasting' $16 Billion On Projects Headed Nowhere · · Score: 1

    ... Google does seem to have a hard time getting some of their useful projects to be used.

    However, that's not to say it's wasted. I'm just saying that some of their projects could have been nice if they'd introduced it earlier, better, differently, or something (for example ... Google+. I actually like it. Some nifty things, like the video chat. But... too little, too late. :(

  23. Re:46% eh? on Nearly Half of American Adults Are Smartphone Owners · · Score: 1

    This is exactly my reasoning. I do have a wifi only tablet (viewsonic gtablet) that I can use almost anywhere, just need to find a McDonald's, Peet's, Starbucks, etc. Other then that (for travel... could also use a laptop but tablet is nice for just checking e-mail :) )... I'm rarely away from home for such a length of time that I really NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL on the road.

    I'd probably use it occasionally, sure. I'd probably find the GPS stuff useful. But it's hard to justify an extra $200-$500 a year for that. :)

    Hooray, now I can vote in person AND online. ;)
