  1. Re:No no no no, you didn't RTFA on Medical Researcher Rediscovers Integration · · Score: 2

    An integral requires that you know a formula that describes the curve.

    Not if you're using numerical methods it doesn't.

    Fortunately, GNU Hurd _is_ still written by smelly vegan hippies,,, and just look at how successful it has been!

  4. Wait... on Graduate Students Being Warned Away From Leaked Cables · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this mean that anybody that reads the cables is ineligible for the draft? Where do I get my copies?

  5. A new front in the war on obesity on Women Hide Stolen Goods In Their Body Fat · · Score: 1

    I say we classify body fat as a robbery tool like guns and lockpicks, and make fat chicks subject to arrest at any time!

    That's the one where Ms. Pacman keeps stopping to ask for directions, right?

    You're right -- I pulled the 10% figure out of my ass. Somehow, retrieving it from this location seemed appropriate at the time.

    I hope their final voyage is a safe one, and one day we will have a manned mission back to the Moon...

    Been there, done that.

    The were arrested by store detectives, who informed them, "Uh... go ahead and keep the merchandise!"

  10. Re:The governor's talking it up on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    I have good evidence that not only are at least 10% of the residents of the tri-state area extremely interested in sodomy, but also that there is significant overlap between potential patrons of a creationism-based theme park and potential patrons of a sodomy-based theme park.

  11. Just great on Smart Wallets React To Spending By Shrinking · · Score: 1

    The size of the wallet is based on my bank balance?!? Now I'll NEVER be able to find my wallet!

  12. Re:interestingly enough, I have no issue with it. on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 2

    You've got every right to create any kind of theme park you see fit on your own land, working within local zoning restrictions. What you don't have the right to is the use of public funds to promote your peculiar interpretation of religious doctrine, just as I don't have any right to receive public funding to promote Wicca.

    Couldn't you tell by my .sig?

  14. Re:The governor's talking it up on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    So, if I want to build a theme park based on, say, Sodom and Gommorah, I shouldn't have any problem getting gubermint funding in Kentucky (where men are men, and sheep are nervous)?

    Wait... did West Virginia succeed from the union?

  16. Uh... on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    This is Kentucky we're talkin' 'bout here, where the family trees don't branch, and a "virgin" is defined as a girl that can run faster than any of her brothers. I'm absolutely SURE they gonna impeach somebody for tryin' to promote the teachin's of the Good Book!

    Many TVs have features that allow you to level out the sound from programming to commercials (kind of an old school ad blocker)..

  19. Re:'Free Market'? What on Earth? on House Passes TV Commercial Volume Bill · · Score: 1

    You want to watch The Office on NBC.com? Well, you have to sit through a particular commercial. You can't switch to another better, quieter, more appealing commercial.

    My observation is that no matter how many times they force me to sit through Stay Free Maxipads or Midol ads, the probability my buying these products does not increase at all from it's base value of zero. It would be in the advertisers best interest to let me choose commercials for products I actually have some interest in, which can be done on the 'net. I tend to shy away from products and women that appear to be trying too hard to sell themselves... if there were any real value there, they could afford to be subtle.

  20. Re:We are all suspects, welcome to the police stat on Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans' Real Time Credit Card Activity · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By his own words, that guy meets all the requirements for a paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis. I had a girlfriend once who complained that her ex used to break into her house on a regular basis and inventory her underwear drawer. Logic dictates that the costs/benefits of paying a staff to do 24/7 harassment of an ex-employee just don't make sense.

    Just big enough to use this system to dispose of bodies! Methinks they have some other uses in mind besides food distribution...

  24. Re:Any user-defined throttles? on Verizon LTE Can Use the Monthly Data Allotment In 32 Minutes · · Score: 1

    And why do you need over 5 GB on your phone?

    You do realize that there are no phones available for Verizon's 4G LTE yet, which means for the first 6 months it will be used only by people plugging USB transceivers into their laptops, don't you? Don't know about you, but I can go through 5GB of downloads on a computer pretty quickly, even without resorting to porn.

  25. $1 award? on Google Loses Street View Suit, Forced To Pay $1 · · Score: 1
