  1. What's the point? on Nano-Pixels Hold Potential For Screens Far Denser Than Today's Best · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If the average human eye can't tell the slightest difference, what's the point of making displays that dense?

  2. No intelligent life found on No Intelligent Aliens Detected In Gliese 581 · · Score: 0

    Proves that the Tea Party has a Gliese 581 branch.

  3. Sceptic on Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head · · Score: 5, Funny

    Something tells me this shark thing is a lemon...

  4. Re:no longer matching the profile on New Car Anti-Theft Device Profiles Your Rear End · · Score: 1

    In dubious cases, it performs a colonoscopy.

  5. Re:Mixed feelings on Facebook Releases JIT PHP Compiler · · Score: 1

    My suggestion was that "mixed mode" scripts are per se incompatible with the MVC or DRY. It's a bad programming practice and if you use it, you are doomed to repeat yourself. Of course you can ditch it and create MVC frameworks like these that are already available. At this latter point you and I may agree.

  6. Re:Mixed feelings on Facebook Releases JIT PHP Compiler · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was expecting this. You could argue that, and also add to it that there are PHP frameworks out there that do DRY, MVC etc. The problem is that PHP itself, by allowing "mixed mode" scripts containing both HTML and PHP, teaches a programming paradigm that is unacceptable by modern standards.

  7. Mixed feelings on Facebook Releases JIT PHP Compiler · · Score: 1

    That's a step forward for us who rely on crammed share hosting providers, but I strongly believe that PHP has to be phased out in favor of more recent techologies that enforce a clearer (eg DRY, separation of content and logic etc) way of thinking.

  8. Has anyone yet mentioned... on Two SOPA Writers Become Entertainment Lobbyists · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...that "sopa" means "trash" in Swedish? :)

  9. Caveat venditor on Baker Has to Make 102,000 Cupcakes For Grouponers · · Score: 1

    Let the seller beware.

  10. Ask Diebold on Slashdot Asks: Whom Do You Want To Ask About 2012's U.S. Elections? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Need to explain? ;)

  11. Technological illiteracy on Belgian Court Order May Be Too Specific To Actually Block Pirate Bay Domain · · Score: 1

    The Internet is unforgiving to the technologically illiterate, even if the latter are the holders of judicial power.

  12. Wonder if... on PETA To Launch Pornography Website · · Score: 1

    Wonder if this has anything to do with PETA's previous endeavor to create genetically engineered "meat" for veggies... To hell with them.

  13. Re:Well, admittedly, the image is interesting... on "Puddles" of Water Sighted on Mars · · Score: 1

    That's actually the technique used by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, a color photographer ahead of his time.

  14. Re:Name of the accusor on Greek Blog Aggregator Arrested · · Score: 3, Informative

    And what a guy Liakopoulos is...

  15. Re:More prior art on Microsoft [to patent] Verb Conjugation · · Score: 1

    To add to the above, the Swedish Authority for School Development hosts an online multilingual dictionary that can also handle conjugation, as well as declension.

  16. Wikipedia's ownership model - slightly tweaked on Who Owns Weblog Content? · · Score: 1

    Far from the corporate world and its madness: I'm setting up a community blog (in Greek language, I'm afraid) where a variant of Wikipedia's ownership model is implemented: The individual article contributor owns the copyright of his publications, and not the blog itself.

    The site's policy requires each article contributor to accept publishing his content under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (instead of the GFDL), or seek an alternative publishing outlet. The comments made to its articles, which may be anonymous, belong to the public domain.
