  1. Messy code on Court Orders Breathalyzer Code Opened, Reveals Mess · · Score: 1

    Messy code is nothing to get worked up about. As long as this code has been proven to work, preferably mathematically (seeing as the results can have a bearing in court), what's the hubbub? Unless it's news to you that the government doesn't care about the tools given to law enforcement as long as they result in more arrests and fines.

  2. Re:Doesnt sound like much? on Illusion Cloak Makes One Object Look Like Another · · Score: 1

    You realise that a much cheaper way of making a rocket launcher look like a stack of pipes is to put an actual stack of pipes on top of it?

  3. "...that surprisingly has gone unnoticed until now on New Pattern Found In Prime Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    They found that the distribution of the leading digit in the prime number sequence can be described by a generalization of Benford's law.

    Yeah, how did we miss that? We need to pay more attention.

  4. Re:It must be just me... on Work Resumes On Virtual Fence With Mexico · · Score: 1

    Good idea. Let's abolish the police force entirely, too, since crimes happen all the time, and obviously the best way to deal with that is to get rid of anything getting in its way.

  5. Re:For those that use q3a to test lan latency..... on IBM "Invents" 40-Minute Meetings · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Obligatory on Phony Wikipedia Entry Used By Worldwide Press · · Score: 1

    No mod points, not as though there's an 'enormous and depressing truth' point anyway.

  7. Re:Excuse Me But... on Google Mows With Goats · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried to milk a goat?

  8. Re:Whatever on Google Mows With Goats · · Score: 1

    Me too. In unrelated news, my internet/funny_images directory has no bugs in it whatsoever.

  9. Re:3 years? Pfffft. on Torpig Botnet Hijacked and Dissected · · Score: 1

    Until he wants to play Left4Dead.

  10. Re:me two. on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 0

    The difference with lithium is that it is a heavy metal, and is poisonous in the same way that lead is. It also has a nasty habit of building up in the body and causing organ failure after a while.

    Interestingly, your body still requires trace amounts of gold (also a heavy metal).

  11. Re:me too on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 0

    This is right. Lithium is a heavy metal, like lead, and is toxic in the same way. You shouldn't eat too much of it.

  12. 3D Drug Trip on Cameron's Avatar a 3D Drug Trip? · · Score: 1

    What it's implying is that it's like a hallucination, which is something different. Saying it's 'a drug trip' is about as accurate as saying it's a fever.

  13. Re:Some, not all... on Old-School Coding Techniques You May Not Miss · · Score: 1

    I agree 100%, but it seems actually knowing how the sorting algorithms work is usually stuff you learn in college rather than as part of a training course or the like.

  14. Mm de d on Warner Music Forces Lessig Presentation Offline · · Score: 1

    Regardless of whether or not the DMCA takedown notice has any actual validity, just think about it - there are loads of this sort of violation out there. This is just one among many easily findable instances. Why does Warner not ignore this one too? The course of action they have chosen certainly does not help their reputation for being trigger-happily litigious.

  15. Re:Administration on Obama Says 3% of GDP Should Fund Science Research And Development · · Score: 1

    I find the combination of your post and your sig very intriguing. :)

  16. I have been gypped on Miro Asks Users To "Adopt" Lines of Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    // This is line #273523

  17. Re:Administration on Obama Says 3% of GDP Should Fund Science Research And Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wouldn't consider myself right-wing or hawkish at all, but I don't think military spending is that much of a waste. A good deal of it ends up funding research anyway, which often leads to technologies with non-military applications, and I'd say it's critical to the US that it remains a military superpower - otherwise, what do they have, really?

  18. Re:Google does the SAME thing, but no one cares. on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    You get links which direct you to pages which direct you to files which indirectly direct you to files. Huh.

  19. Re:I know! I know! Pick Me!!! on How Google Routes Around Outages · · Score: 1

    It treats the censors as routes and damages around them.

  20. Re:Mashups on So Amazing, So Illegal · · Score: 1

    Um, yeah. Basically, Slashdot is shitting its pants over something called 'sampling' which has been going on everywhere in electronic music pretty much since its inception and elsewhere besides for the last 40 years at least. So, yeah, you guys, chill out.

  21. Mosquitos on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Whatever I think of what he did, the fact stands that if I was in the audience at the time of this demonstration, I would never go to a conference at which he was presenting again.

  22. Danish foods on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    I've got a friend who names all his machines after foods, but in Danish. Hence kartoffel (dumpling), aebelskiver (Danish pancake balls, apparently), waffle, etc..

  23. Re:'cause everyone knows on YouTube Bans Gun and Knife Videos In the UK · · Score: 1

  24. Re:The developed world has similar attitudes on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh, wow. Just checked out your homepage, and you're a huge paedophile. Good luck with that.

  25. Re:The developed world has similar attitudes on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "A Canberra court has heard an O'Connor man who has been charged with downloading child pornography from the internet finds young children sexually attractive."

    So he must have done it!

    Sounds sensible.

    Presumably he'll get a longer sentence as a result of admitting that he's attracted to children.

    Cool. They do that?
