  1. Re:A bumper sticker I saw once on Next Generation Stack Computing · · Score: 1

    Great quote!

  2. Re:Translate on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    I have a phrasebook for you.

  3. Movies on Breakthrough Gives 3-D Vision of Dawn of Life · · Score: 1

    They're rather boring, but movies can be found here of the synchroton-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy.

  4. Re:Interesting? on 9th Annual AUV Competition Results · · Score: 1

    Because this surely means it can run Linux.

  5. Re:Ctrl+Enter on Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com · · Score: 1

    In opera, go to Preferences->Network->ServerNameCompletion and add ".nl". In Firefox, YMMV - sorry.

  6. Re:Special software for Canada? on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I used Windows - don't hate me - and Sun's Java engine. I think I did it fairly early, and Firefox worked for me.

  7. Re:Come on people, give the moon a break... on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 1

    Well, she is a harsh mistress, so the gender would be right. But, "Luna" comes from Diana? (No, I read the wiki article, too.)

  8. Re:Special software for Canada? on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 1

    Firefox. But it's a special browser.

  9. Re:But are they sending any sailors there? on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    Well, duh.

  10. Re:The CoE needs to call... on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    No, they need ... The Saint.

  11. Nice place, this Halesowen on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 3, Informative

    150 quid for littering, kids ordered to clean up hop scotch grid. This place is definitely one of the must see places in the UK. Unless you're from a civilised country.

  12. Re:Canada uses a manual method with 10% of voters on Voting Isn't Easy, Even if Cheating Is · · Score: 1
    Our electoral system is different from the American one. Unless you plan to streamline their elections to match ours, manual counting might not be practical for them. Our most complicated ballots are typically from municipal elections, and those likely wouldn't match the complexity of their minor elections.

    Now, I've never experienced an American election at a ballot station, so I can't say from first hand experience. However, you'd have to think that if there was a way to use a superior counting system, they would have done it already.

  13. Re:wait for the real fallout on Halving Half Lives · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Won't work. Carbon 14 decay is a beta- decay, for which the half life is increased by cooling. That would mean that cold spells would have lasted longer than we thought and stuff is even older than previously thought.

  14. Re:More importantly on One Laptop Per Child Gets 4 Million Laptop Order · · Score: 1
    they have deffered success.

    What is "deffered"?

    1. Deferred (delayed)
    2. Differed (unlike/disagreed)
    3. deffer (kids' slang for better)
    4. dafter
    5. duffer (golfer)
    I must compliment you on your "deffered" linguistic ability.
  15. Re:64% violet? on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1

    0.64 violet is the colour scheme on this part of /.

  16. Re:Trying to make others feel as stupid as you wer on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    Isn't this like "my bad"?

  17. Re:So wait on New Code Discovered in DNA? · · Score: 1

    I had permission to write there.

  18. Re:Intelligent Discovery. on New Code Discovered in DNA? · · Score: 1
    God put a rainbow in the sky to remind man that he would never flood the Earth with water again.

    Yeah, right - were a quarter million people killed by their own imaginations? There are floods even with the fricking rainbows. Read a newer book.

  19. Re:So much for all the love and sympathy on HOPE Speaker Rombom Charged with Witness Tampering · · Score: 2, Funny
    However the conspiracy theorist had theorised he is being prosecuted for his activities related to the conference [...] It turned out to be completely unrelated... Imagine that...

    Sorry, but you'll never be a conspiracy theorist with thinking like that.

    The fact that there is a cover story implies that there is a reason for a cover up and therefore the conspiracy can take a different direction. Of course, if there was nothing said that would be very damning and the original conspiracy theory would have been proven true.

    (Mods: this is meant to be a joke - please mod down for offtopic, not flamebait.)

  20. Re:government blah? what about the all the info? on Feds Arrest Private Eye at HOPE · · Score: 1

    The guy has a blog in his own name. He claims to be a writer, so there's likely a couple of hundred pages of crap about himself there.

  21. Re:1984 Reference on Feds Arrest Private Eye at HOPE · · Score: 2, Funny

    1984 called, they want their reference back.

  22. Re:More exclusive Space Adventures! on Walk in Space for $15 Million (Plus Airfare) · · Score: 1

    In space, no one can hear Pink Floyd.

  23. Re:Closest living relative? on Deciphering the DNA Code of Neanderthal Man · · Score: 1

    I'm not certain I see your point, Cheeta.

  24. Re:Spielberg already has the rights to... on Deciphering the DNA Code of Neanderthal Man · · Score: 1

    That's okay. I have recently acquired the rights to Pleistocene Park. (Or not.)

  25. Re:Could it be...? on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 1
    A previous post says this slightly differently.

    Extensions are tools the user downloads and uses to do things they want to do - the ActiveX stuff is usually sent by the web developer to the user and then these are used by the developers to help do things they want to do.

    It is all in who does the using, I guess. Kinda like life, eh?
