  1. Re:Evolution is a myth? on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1
    replace any reference of "dinosaurs lived with tool-using humans" with "oral sex exists"

    Okay ...

    You're serious, right? I'm gonna help you out. Go find some evidence that oral sex exists. Find any evidence.

    But there is one catch. You have to really look. You can't accept somebody relaying stories they hear about some study somewhere that proves it. You have to see the study yourself. You have to have a published account of first hand evidence that shows oral sex exists. That means any published account by the scientist or group of scientists themselves.

    By the time you've found some evidence, not just the word of your pastor, but some real evidence, I garantee you'll have learned some great lessons. I don't want to spoil them for you. you'll understand. Take the journey with a clear head and honest heart and you will truly learn something wonderful.

    It would be very easy not to take up this challenge. It would be incredibly easy to ask someone you already know and trust and just take their word for it. But I urge you to take the hard road. Really look. I already know you have faith, but do you have determination and a logical mind? No, no no, don't prove it to ME. Prove it to yourself. Look. Discover. You can't possibly lose.

    This is fun ... next?

    The New Scientist article says "They [dinosaur egg proteins] bear strong similarities to proteins from chicken eggs."

    A previous poster was correct - the T-Rex burgers will taste like chicken.

    Well, if we're letting the Americans do the comparisons ...
    • GDP Per Cap. Look at those Sammarinese!
    • GDP Per Region Wow! the parent was right EU is bigger than US. (Smaller than the NAFTA zone.)
    • GDP Growth Wow! Those Iraqis are not doing too good are they?
    While these numbers are interesting (to some), they really don't present a good view of reality.
  4. Internet English on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1
    Well, okay. I realise that the younger (hipper or not) generation needs their own jargon. If they need to spell it so that the old folks can't understand, that's their concern.

    What boils me is the misuse of words - real words that have likely been spellchecked and "corrected" by something.

    Homonyms (their, there, they're) are frequently misused - though one rarely sees "hour" in place of "our". Possessives are almost always misused. (It's ITS damn it!) But folks it's almost always "worse than" and not "worse then". (Unless you are saying: "it got worse, then it died.") You are more often going to "lose" something than "loose" it.

    It's nice that you want to spell everything correctly, just pick the word you really want to say!

    There, that should get rid of that pesky positive karma.

  5. Re:I think the solution to this is pretty obvious on Culprit of Leaked Doctor Who Episode Found · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sure. Blame Canada ;-)

  6. Read the Proper FA on Plants May Be Able To Correct Mutated Genes · · Score: 2, Informative
    The original press release is at least visible without a subscription. It also has contact information for the author, Robert Pruitt, for those who have inquisitive natures.

    Beware, there are pictures of MUTANT plants here. Watch out for the triffids.

  7. Re:Canada? on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1
    Yeah, that was my first thought too - we must be too sloppy on our security.

    There are studies on connectivity rates (Korea is still the most wired country last I read) which could be incorporated with this to get a better (bots)/(wired machine) ratio that might be usefull.

    And no, I'm not going to register just to see one report. If Symantec has already done this comparison, why aren't those numbers being reported?

  8. The Indian math guy!?? on Classic Math Puzzle Cracked · · Score: 0, Redundant
    The "guy" is pretty famous - you really should include his real name. (As others have noted, it's Ramanujan.) I suppose that most of the replies in this thread are going to be rants about this slight.

    Hmmm. Submitters, please spend some time on your submission ... oftimes it gets all of the flack, and if you do it properly, it should not get any.

  9. Re:Processor Heat on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1
    That is something I thought about - not that it would catch on fire, (that would take a lot of heat) but that wood is a poor heat conductor compared to the original case. The heat dissipation would not be as efficient, warming the inside. The temperature inside of the case might toast the electronics.

    Hey, if regular laptops can cause lap burns they have to be warm.

  10. Re:How about MAC address filtering? on IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers · · Score: 1
    Why not use these "unique" id's [MACs] for the purpose of filtering out spam?

    I've implemented that, and I get absolutely no spam. No email either. Let me check the logs, hmmm all the email I've blocked is from the same MAC, and that seems to be the same as my router's ...

    Oh. Never mind.

    Now they can tell me what it is that I'm thinking. I've been wondering for some time.

    The reason VB is so popular is because Microsoft is its mother.

  14. Wrong target on Opera Lays Down Acid2 Challenge · · Score: 3, Interesting
    While it would be nice if MS IE 7 were a more compliant browser, the real target is the lazy web authors who do not try to comply with standards.

    Or the malicious ones who miscode their site to intentionally over-support a browser.

    I support Hakon, but I think he's aiming at the wrong spot.

    Caveat: I have used (and liked) Opera since version 3 or so. I am have used (and hated) IE since version 2 or so. I am hardly unbiased.
