  1. spoiler alert! on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    CNN should warn you when they are giving out the storyline!

  2. coupon link! on Yahoo Turns 10; Free Ice Cream for America · · Score: 5, Informative
  3. Re:They are also responsible for QUALITY. on More On Save Enterprise Donations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The bridge crew consisted of:
    Captain Jonathan Archer (a San Francisco native?)
    Dr. Phlox (a Denobulan)
    Subcommander/Commander T'Pol (a Vulcan)
    Lt. Malcolm Reed (a Brit)
    Ensign Travis Mayweather (a Space Boomer)
    Ensign Hoshi Sato (? previously working in Brazil?)
    Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III (a Southerner)

    That's what? Three 'white' people? Out of a senior staff of seven. That's hardly 'all-white'. If you've seen the show, you'd know it is about mankind facing the harshness of the unknown without resorting to any sort of stereotypes.

    Next thing you'll be telling me is that we can make new fangled lasers out of them too!

  5. Re:my bank *does* do this on Magnetic Stripe Snooping at Home · · Score: 0

    there is a touchscreen ATM in Baker Hall of carnegie mellon that I know is a Diebold that didn't just break. It showed everybody that it was running on top of Windows XP and someone got windows media player running on it.

  6. Re:2^25,964,951 - 1 on 42nd Mersenne Prime Confirmed · · Score: 1, Funny

    it turns out that, yes, 25,964,950 1's text encoded is infact ~25 megabytes. i bet i could losslessly compress that with a 1:2000000 ratio.

  7. oh man on 42nd Mersenne Prime Confirmed · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's a big number.

  8. Re:Digital vs. Film on UK to Build Network of 150 Digital Cinemas · · Score: 1

    the post mentions that the compression is lossless. so the projection should be the same, pixel for pixel, as what the camera sees.

  9. Re:If you want to know how this works, ask *ME* on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 1

    If the states want to continue doing this, then let them. The issue with rights is that you shouldn't force them to do it by withholding federal funds. That's called blackmail.

  10. Re:Dyu think Microsoft will ever live it down ... on First Program Executed on L4 Port of GNU/HURD · · Score: 1

    Quack!Quack!Quack!Quack!Quack!Quack!Quack!Quack!Qu ack! *ducks*

  11. Re:Single button rules on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    What Apple should do is make a mouse with a replaceable cover. Ship it with a single button cover, but also make a two-button cover available.

    That would help them make more money by lessening the cost of an actual separate two-button mouse that some people seem to obviously need, but still have the single button ease of use for the new people who aren't 5 year olds.
