  1. 0.051 on Is Statistical Significance Significant? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    meh just set it to 0.051 and watch 90% of "science" publication burn

  2. Re:He is linking homeopathy to astrology on Use Astrology To Save Britain's Health System, Says MP · · Score: 1

    well yeah, that's because most people seem to think that astrology is a replacement/in competition/additive to physical medicine, this is completely and utterly wrong, it should be compared to psychology, i think that would lead to way more interesting discussions

  3. Blockly Games on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Engage 5th-8th Graders In Computing? · · Score: 1

    https://blockly-games.appspot.... - i've been programming for about 15 years and this seems like a perfectly nice introduction for kids

  4. Re:How do you claim the prize? on Meet the 'Assassination Market' Creator Who's Crowdfunding Murder With Bitcoins · · Score: 1

    Frankly, we need something to hold in check the various sociopathic assholes that from time to time attack other people.

    And you truly believe giving the same sociopathic assholes guns/nukes/armies is gonna solve that? =)

  5. Chicken Scratches on Math and Science Popular With Students Until They Realize They're Hard · · Score: 1

    So, did math discover computers yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols Maybe we don't need to shorten every variable to 1 character just so you can write it fast by hand anymore? Maybe math can start using, let me think, this new invention called "Words with meaning" instead? Nah of course not then more people would understand it and that would be really bad wouldn't it?

  6. Re:Actually more advanced than what's in the West on Kenyans Will Soon Be Able To Send Bitcoin By Phone · · Score: 1

    10 $ / GB sounds very expensive, do you also have to pay a monthly fee?

  9. Re:so it's basically ... on 3-D Printing Pen Can Draw In the Air · · Score: 1

    wouldn't that mean that this is a gluegun WITHOUT the cnc mill attached? wouldn't that make it a gluegun and not a 3d printer?

  10. Re:Racism is a cause, on Racism In Online Ad Targeting · · Score: 1

    If they fix the problem they can't scream racism as loud, which is probably why government isnt actually interested in fixing things since they'll have to try getting votes with one less emotional argument.

  11. Re:Seriously? on Virtual Superpowers Translate To Real Life Desire To Help · · Score: 1

    Yeah just like that silly smartphone fad which failed miserably in the 90s

  13. Re:Matrix on The Power of a Hot Body · · Score: 1

    So... you're saying that when noone captures your bodyheat, you don't generate any? I really really don't see the logic here. Why on earth are you assuming that people don't lose bodyheat? Why the word 'drain'? Its not a heatdrain, its using excess heat and transfering to another building. damn you slashdot for modding this shoddy logic 'insightful'

  14. Re:Enough already on Peel-and-Stick Solar Cells Created At Stanford University · · Score: 1

    why on earth would you visit slashdot with that sentiment? Do you like annoying yourself?

    Yeah you're right, we should never have climed down from the trees, or walk out of the sea for that matter...

    Well just to make the situation a bit clearer

    Really? That the best excuse you could find? So, when did ANYONE EVER hear of an atm "overheating" and giving you 30% extra money? These voting machines are laughable, its basic stuff. Oh and why no reciept? uh i just realized, im asking the wrong question. Why no pitchforks?

  25. Re:Python on Ask Slashdot: What Language Should a Former Coder Dig Into? · · Score: 1

    Stay away from js, it won't help you learn jack shit except weird, nitpicky syntax ;P Go for python, focus on the programming concepts and try to learn a few frameworks, as they are integral to modern programming concepts. Once these concepts are solidified, any modern programming language will basically just be about different syntax and api. Python should be chosen for its easy of readability, which is exactly why js should NOT be chosen. By all means, if you find a language that is as concise and easy to read as python, please let me know =)
