  1. O'reilly books... on Wired Magazine Profile of Tim O'Reilly · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...are nothing short of incredible and life-saving. I use my Python Pocket Reference almost daily, and it has been an invaluable resource. O'reilly is, and should be, the first place to look for technical writing, and almost always surpasses the competition in quality, clarity, and accuracy.

  2. Idiots on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 1

    This will only be the music execs(tm)(R)(C)(asdfghjkl;)(OMG-DMCA-WTFLOLBBQ) shooting themselves in the foot. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they probably think they hava a patent on music too, best not to risk a lawsuit.
    Patent Pending, no. fiftybajillion

  3. Re:Why don't you do it yourself? on Canadian Law Profs Counter CRIA Propaganda · · Score: 1

    I didn't intend to come across as saying 'can you do this for us,' rather I meant to say 'could you help us do it.' Assistance from a veteran in the field would help more than simply observing him and copying his actions. But thank you for being impulsive and caustic, I will try to be more specific in the future.

  4. MAKES NO SENSE on BBC Commentator Goes After Software Licensing · · Score: 1

    Blair says the BBC hates America, but MSFT says open source hates America too?...
    **My head asplode**

  5. +5 Awesome points on Canadian Law Profs Counter CRIA Propaganda · · Score: 4, Funny

    As much as I love to bash Canada, this is worthy of applause. Can we borrow you to fight the RIAA when you're done?

  6. Re:If it ain't broke.. on The Fracturing of the Internet · · Score: 1

    "...the least organized, least effective polital body that has ever existed." I think the League of Nations still holds that record, but you come in close second. Very close.

  7. Re:By mass & composition on How Would You Define a Planet? · · Score: 1

    Not to be rude or anything, but ... *cough* moons *cough*

  8. Re:All Roman on How Would You Define a Planet? · · Score: 1

    Pluto? You don't know Pluto? Come on man! Hades, lord of the dead? Ring any bells?

  9. Re:Eww more chances to refine PI on TeraGrid Gets an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Damn! I nearly crashed my computer runnitng a regular expression on that looking for repeating parts! Note to self: uh ... don't be such a dumbass

  10. Amazing on Nanotech Coating Prevents Fogging · · Score: 1

    I had no idea that /. could actually report on worthwhile patents! On a more serious note, this really is worthy of a patent, and it's pretty cool. I'd like such a windshield down here in humid Georgia.

  11. Re:"dazzler" laser on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are my new best friend and deserve a medal.

  12. Re:"dazzler" laser on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 1

    and then ask how many wars the USA has not only waged but in fact started since then. OK. I'll count, one, ... oh yeah, only one, in Iraq! WWII: already there, Korea: already there, Vietnam: already there, Panama: already there, not an all aout war, Desert Storm: HE invaded Kuwait, Kosovo: already there, must I expound further?

  13. Re:R. Lee Ermey says... on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 1

    Correction, that would actually bee "Hoorah!", as oppose to what you said, which is closer to ther Army "Hooah!"

  14. Re:the promise? on Intel Ports Developer Tools to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I don't know about ICC, but GCC is good and all, yet it has its downsides. For example, it is very poor at vectorizing code, which is a must for Apple.

  15. Re:Oh Goody! on Climatologists Wager on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Actually since the left sided of your brain controls the right side of your body and vice versa, and right handed vs left handed is a closer allusion to the origin of this terminilogy, right thinkers are the logical ones, sorry. It's fun to nitpick =D

  16. Re:Throw 'em Away on The Milky Way is Not a Spiral? · · Score: 1

    Technically, it is not your religion. In science you know, in faith you believe. Faith begins where knowledge ends. If you knew God existed you wouldn't have to take a leap of faith. As my sunday school teacher put it, even Satan and his demons know jesus is the son of God.

  17. Re:Throw 'em Away on The Milky Way is Not a Spiral? · · Score: 1

    I Live in Cobb and you my friend are utterly and entirely wrong. There are many more liberal people in this county, thought they are not by any means a majority. Many schools now have an official gay prideclub or the like. That was simply the vocal asses getting in the way, like when they got our 1 to 1 iBook initiative canceled. I consider myself a conservative and a Southern Baptist, yet I believe in the Big Bang. God, by his nature could use any tools he wanted to create the universe or life on Earth. I would actually question the faith of hardline 7 day creationists in Gods ability (and creativity for that matter).

  18. Re:Disclaimer: the following is a JOKE on Introducing a Child to Constructive Computer Use? · · Score: 1

    May I ask what American society you are talking about? Each and every place you go to in the US is unique, and never have I met anyone who is accustomed to that. Some are more accustomed to it, living in violent areas, but it is just as bad each time. Simply saying American this or American that almost always marks a fallacy. People don't seem to fully understand that in a free country, you have the freedom to be completely individual, not a sheep or a borg of society.

  19. Re:MS says.. on Zotob Worm Hits CNN and Goes Global · · Score: 1

    Forsooth! Huzzah!

  20. Re:Matters of Size and Scope on Branched Nanotubes Offer Smaller Transistors · · Score: 1

    Even if they were resistant, more resistance == less current, and current is what really causes heat. If you look at the tiny resistors on your motherboard they have thousands to even millions of ohms of resistance, but you dont seem to have problems with them spontaneously melting do you?

  21. Re:You fools on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: 1

    I just about peed my pants watching leeroy

    LEEROY JEEEENKINS!!!

  22. Re:Good on World's Largest Solar Array to use Stirling Engine · · Score: 1

    Yay for cheap(er) gas in the Bible Belt! Woo Georgia! I usually see around $2.09-2.29 for regular unleaded.

  23. Re:Hmm... on Microsoft to Fight Crime With Spammer's Millions · · Score: 1

    YES!! **runs off yelling mindlessly "Criminals! Criminals! Criminals! ..."**

  24. Re:When I was in high school on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: 1

    Same here, sort of. I tell people who are acting dumb to go away of i will lose more IQ points because the stupid gradient is far too high. They usually give me a weird look and walk away. Go figure.

  25. Good God on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: 1

    I feel so much dumber after reading this. Geez.
