  1. I does not matter on Workable Fusion Starship Proposed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because they are all dead or going to be soon.

  2. Re:man discovers stuff burns! on Man Invents Alternative To Cooking Gas · · Score: 1

    Not just screams bullshit, it might be bullshit, that he burns.

  3. It's the economic crisis on Solar Cycle 24 May Have Finally Begun · · Score: 2, Funny

    And the worst is yet to come. So they say. Expect even less sun spots next year.

  4. Re:FF on Final Fantasy XIII Still PS3 Only · · Score: 1

    Final Fantasies on the ps2 are technically among the simplier games. They just don't abuse the hardware as most big titles do. Polygon count is also very low.

  5. Re:IQ Test? on The Smartest Browser and OS · · Score: 1

    If you are intelligent enough you open a new tab and google for the answer. That's what it tests!

  6. Re:Translation? on Removing the Big Kernel Lock · · Score: 1

    Oh, just build more power plants, we still have 10 years left :)

  7. Re:I thought SWF was open? on Adobe Opens the FLV and SWF Formats · · Score: 1

    I remember downloading the format spec of FLV from adobe's site years ago, this one is the same, extended with a few new codecs. It also mentions a new file format F4V in the later half, which seems to be yet another customized mov (like mp4).

  8. Re:Suprnova never came back... on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There is no way back once a star turns into a supernova.

  9. Re:Meanwhile, in the European Union... on New York to Implement an 'Amazon Tax' · · Score: 1

    Is this already in effect? As I heard it was only planed for the future. I live in Hungary and never ever had to pay our ridiculus 20% tax (lowered from 25% a year ago) for anything bought from another EU country.

  10. Re:Are actuators faster than direct connections? on Sun Turns to Lasers to Speed Up Computer Chips · · Score: 1

    I guess both of you meant electromagnetic weave, electrons do not move too fast.

  11. Re:Room-pressure? on Scientists Create Room Temperature Superconductor · · Score: 1

    frame of reference? observer? there is no spoon neo.

  12. Re:Creepy on New BigDog Robot Video · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes it's so real, but what still bothers me is the constant/fast step rate. If I were climbing a hill or walked on ice I would spend varying ammount of time to look for safe spots on the ground, and perhaps test them a bit before fully putting my weight on my feet.

  13. Re:Figure 2 is really informative on Paul Krugman's 1978 Theory of Interstellar Trade · · Score: 1

    "Any trade of the type O(distance) where distance is greater than the lifetime of any players involved is necessarily a non-transaction."
    You can get around this problem by queueing up the goods. At the other end they will start buying what your great great grand parents has sent in the past, it takes time to fill up the queue, but there will be a continous supply.
  14. It's open source because... on Microsoft Singularity Now "Open" Source · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... they couldn't make it closed. Being written in a managed language means it's easily reversable.

  15. 16.4 Tbps of optical data? on Researchers Transmit Optical Data at 16.4 Tbps 2550km · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tbps speed, and over 100 Gbps. Something is wrong here.

  16. Re:Seems easy enough. on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    And don't forget to make the days longer, I like sleeping a lot.

  17. Re:Trains need land - you want it in your back yar on Sci-Fi Tech We Could Have Right Now (For a Price) · · Score: 1

    The chinese can solve such problems in a smart and cost effective way, they just move a few million people to a different place if they are in the way. And I'm not being sarcastic now.

  18. Re:Plate tectonics on Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East · · Score: 1

    What about temperature changes of the sea? I bet it affects the length more than tectonic activity.

  19. Re:redundancy on Millions in Middle East Lose Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    WDYJUAULAAATIEIATDTPOTAESYKIWNBUA? - Why did you just use an unnecessarily long abbreviatory acronym and then immediately expand it and thus defeat the purpose of the abbreviation, especially since you know it will never be used again? It's called redundancy!
  20. Re:Curious... on Windows Home Server Corrupts Files · · Score: 1

    I just don't understand how ANYTHING could backup files which can have uncommited state, let it be outlook's storage file, mysql database, or any program's workfile.

  21. Re:It always amuses me on Report Says 36.4% of World's Computers Infringe on IP · · Score: 1

    Who's ISP? Please tell mine to setup one, kthx.

  22. Re:Sweet! on British Drivers Destroying Surveillance Cameras · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In a perfect surveillance society everybody does both.

  23. That's is? on Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War · · Score: 0

    If I recall correctly, the first computers more than half a decade ago were built to guide missiles, even my pocket calculator could do that.

  24. Just like fractals on The Rules of the Swarm · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We are already "cells" of a thing called "economy", for an alien the earth may just look like a single living being.

  25. Am I unusal then? on Monkeys and Cognitive Dissonance · · Score: 1

    If I'm presented with a box of different chocolates (bonbon) then I tend to eat one from each first. So, if I were that monkey, I'd have made sure to taste the blue one as the second or third choice.
