  1. Re:Hope it works out for you on Simulations Predict Where We Can Find Dark Matter · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Actually, I was just trying to be silly. ;)

    Simulations Predict Where We Can Find Dark Matter

    Don't bother reading the paper. They discovered that they could find dark matter "in space" if it exists.

  3. Re:The privacy post on Project Turns GPS Phones Into Traffic Reporters · · Score: 1

    Until we arrive at an overtly panoptic government, I wouldn't mind volunteering for my data to be shared if it helps.

    AI isn't about trying to build God ...

    I hope we reach the singularity in my lifetime. But considering the state of AI at this point in time, I will be long dead before immortality arrives.

  5. Re:not possible on How To Verify CD-R Data Retention Over Time? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    HDD are not infallible or "long lasting", but they are certainly far more convenient to deal with than CD-R and DVD-Rs.

    You're a big meanie.

    Just because a right is not explicitly granted doesn't mean it's not a right of the people. It has everything to do with the person who I was replying to.

  8. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Compare it to the alternative McCain, who's political convictions apparently run so shallow that nearly all of them did a complete 180 in the four years since his last attempt at the oval office.

    People always say this, but what has he changed his stance on, exactly? I don't know, but I'm genuinely curious!

    And please, don't answer with anything remotely related to the 1st amendment, ...

    ... and I see no constitutional right to advertise.

    Well, it just so happens that the founding fathers thought of this very scenario: Ninth Amendment to the US Constitution

  10. Re:FiveThirtyEight on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Yeegads! Mod this guy "informative" or something, so he gets some of the karma! "Funny" moderations don't increase Slashdot's karma system.

    Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

    The Mayans may have had atomic clocks. Who knows? ;)

  12. Re:Barack Hussein Obama and David Duke on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 2, Informative

    I voted Obama a couple weeks ago by mail-in absentee ballot. Give me free karma!


    Or alternatively, mod me funny and "redundant" repeatedly to trash my karma. ;)

  13. Re:Disconnect on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 5, Informative

    They actually are smart, and any computers accessing Secret information and above are NOT allowed to be hooked up to the internet or a network with access to the internet, EVER.

  14. Re:Cloudy on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I was replying to another poster. That still leaves the issue of the jettisoned item crossing the orbital path of the ISS. How did you jettison/get away from the item?

  15. Re:Cloudy on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Throwing it backwards from the direction of travel would slow it down the most, but then you would still have the jettisoned item intersect with your orbit circle at the point of jettisoning.

  16. Re:Cloudy on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How do they jettison something in space? I understood that you can't "push" something away from you while in orbit, because it will eventually come right back to you on the other side of the orbit. Unless the ISS was boosted by the Shuttle after jettisoning the object, or something.

  17. Re:SecuROM? Fail. on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    Man up and just say you want to steal the game.

    The proper term is "make an unauthorized copy".

    And yes, the difference is important. Stealing the game means going to a shop and lifting the box without paying.

    A good point, but in any case the OP had it spot on. I'm glad the mods gave him his deserved karma for it.

  18. Re:My first "Fallout 3 Moment" on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    I found a nuclear waste dump that gave me +12 rads per second when I sat on top of it nearby the Springfield school. As you quick-travel to Springfield school, the dump is at the FAR RIGHT corner of the school. It's just a few barrels inside a chain link fence.

    I'm only going to say this one time. Hand over the sexy sleepwear now!

  20. Re:I really love Fallout. on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I couldn't agree more with OP. You can *clearly* tell you're playing with the Oblivion engine, but that goes away after five minutes and you completely stop thinking about it in terms of "Oblivion with guns". They really did a good job defying all expectations.

  21. Re:Define "Winning" on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    A wartime military costs more than peacetime military, and reconstruction costs that we are paying to contractors to rebuild Iraq are extremely (almost prohibitively) expensive.
