  1. Re:What, no cure for cancer? on Replicating Hardest Known Biomaterial Could Improve Solar Cells and Batteries · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's a cure for cancer. if a stake made of the new material is driven through the heart of a cancer patient, they will not die of cancer.

  2. Re:drains drive and will to succeed on Pot Smokers Might Not Turn Into Dopes After All · · Score: 1

    Not coincidentally, there is in fact a way the tokers can get the satisfaction of being president for four years in a couple minutes......

    oh yeah, that four digit pin would take until the heat death of the universe to brute force

  4. Re:awesome comeback by CentOS on CentOS 5.9 Released · · Score: 1

    do you have any idea how much changes in a "minor version update" for redhat? that's not a trivial task.

  5. Re:Let us celebrate.. on Australian Scientists Discover Potential Aids Cure · · Score: 1

    don't be sad, take it in the ass often and you can join the party too.

  6. Re:So I no longer need to... on Australian Scientists Discover Potential Aids Cure · · Score: 1

    pregnancy can kill too. so can sexual partners. some people even die by their own hand that they also use to jack off. this sex business can have so many deadly effects

    no, you are the one deluded. Excedrin Back Pain. Exedrin PMS. etc. etc. exactly the same pill exactly the same contents. marketing B.S.

    don't forget the executive's compensation

  9. Re:Is this scary? on Australian Scientists Discover Potential Aids Cure · · Score: 1

    yes, the person will still be an infectious host, but without much of the miserly of current life-prolonging treatment. You forget the status quo also keeps a person alive for decades and still able to spread the disease. this would be better in terms of less suffering for the patient, for anyone else nothing changes.

  10. Re:a cure for aids will not matter on Australian Scientists Discover Potential Aids Cure · · Score: 1

    the antibiotic-resistant disease is treatable in most cases, if not with the usual penicillin. stop worrying.

  11. Re:It would look like nothing on Students Calculate What Hyperspace Travel Would Actually Look Like · · Score: 1

    wrong, that's only a point of view. the object is moving faster than light in our reference frame, get over it

  12. Re:US Politicians say its safe! on Boeing 787 Dreamliner Grounded In US and EU · · Score: 2

    almost all senators are in the pockets of large corporations, and moreover hold stock in them. Aerospace/"Defense" being a big handler of them. Other places in the world would call this "corruption".

  13. Re:The Universe Expansion on Students Calculate What Hyperspace Travel Would Actually Look Like · · Score: 1

    you can keep your fancy-pants spaceship motor. but we'd really like to hear about your time and space transcending internet connection. after all, FTL space travel is just a tiny subset of moving information outside of a light cone

  14. Re:Social Chromosome on First Known 'Social Chromosome' Found · · Score: 1

    I wish the analogues to this chromosome be isolated in the human genome as soon as possible, so I can expunge it from my system with gene therapy. damn fellow humans, the less interaction with them the better....

  15. awesome comeback by CentOS on CentOS 5.9 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    after a period of sluggishness, it's awesome the CentOS team has pulled together again after difficulties and management problems.

  16. Re:but on Intel Demos Optical Data Transfer For Servers · · Score: 1

    the electrons don't really travel anywhere, it's alternating current after all. they just jiggle in an EM field. the velocity of propagation of changes in the EM field is the important thing.

  17. wrong - blindly quoting textbooks out of context on Intel Demos Optical Data Transfer For Servers · · Score: 2

    in waveguides the speed is slower, and that includes twisted pair and coax. Typical twisted pair impulse propagation is 45 - 65 % speed of light. Bare copper conductor over ground plane (what you quoted) is not relevant here.

  18. drains drive and will to succeed on Pot Smokers Might Not Turn Into Dopes After All · · Score: 3, Insightful

    there was this one toker who graduated from this ivy league school, but instead of taking on big corporate job like his classmates just went into community organizer work on the bad side of Chicago. then he became a senator then president. beware the weed, kids...

  19. Re:The Universe Expansion on Students Calculate What Hyperspace Travel Would Actually Look Like · · Score: 2

    the universe does have a center, at the observer. most of the universe has already exceeded light speed with regards to us, we'll never see or travel to most of it.

  20. Re:wrong analysis tool on Students Calculate What Hyperspace Travel Would Actually Look Like · · Score: 1

    no, the equations of GR do allow for FTL travel via spacetime warping

  21. Re:It would look like nothing on Students Calculate What Hyperspace Travel Would Actually Look Like · · Score: 1, Insightful

    that is not true, cosmologists know that our observable universe is a small part of the whole, most of which is moving faster than light away from us (and so will never be seen). In fact, we can only ever see or travel to something on the order of 1E-23 of the whole; the rest is accelerating away from us and has already passed lightspeed relative to earth.

    or, to be fair, might be nvidia problem. I score unity lower for being nearly useless for multi-app workflow

  23. Re:so why would i buy a blackberry? on RIM Attracts 15,000 Apps For BlackBerry 10 In 2 Days · · Score: 1

    that's not the issue. BES can control individuals or groups of phones to only run certain programs or access certain features. that's what's missing from those alternatives + Exchange

  24. Re:Cinnamon on Fedora 18 Released · · Score: 2

    I like cinnamon and so use it at work, but with my home system it crashes my nvidia driver and/or seizes up the machine. so I put in Mate instead, and no problems since.
