  1. Unit of cost on DoE Considers Artificial Trees To Remove CO2 · · Score: 3, Funny
    Being a cyclist, I have no understanding of the cost of a toyota (or any other car for that matter).

    Can someone tell me how many bicycles in a toyota?

  2. Linux overlaid with Google? on Google Announces "Open Phone" Coalition, No gPhone [Updated] · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I'm really interested to see how Linux can be overlaid with Java and Google.

    Or maybe someone needs to brush up on their punctuation.

  3. Re:Singularity on Tunguska Impact Crater Found? · · Score: 1

    Sorry about the "all fiction" comment.
    It is simply a natural defense mechanism, to avoid being flamed by the /. crowd.
    I actually found the book very informative, and it encouraged me to do a little personal research on the subject.

  4. Singularity on Tunguska Impact Crater Found? · · Score: 1
    You should check out Bill DeSmedt's novel Singularity .
    You can also get the book as a free DRM free audio book. (Sorry I can't link directly to the audio book because PodioBooks.com seems to be down.

    He has interesting theories (all fiction) about the Tunguska Event.

    Helps you to save Web pages and organize the collection.

  6. Curiously Strong Magnets on The Moon's Magnetic Umbrellas · · Score: 1

    Forgive the stupid question, but if all we need is a little magnetic field, wouldn't a few strategically placed Curiously Strong Magnets solve the problem?

  7. IBM buys ISS on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What does IBM want with the International Space Station?

  8. Re:Commonsense Reasoning Engine on OpenCyc 1.0 Stutters Out of the Gates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The funny thing about common sense is that it is not common!

  9. Flirting on Quantum Computer Works Better Shut Off · · Score: 1
    ...but allow its quantum nature to flirt with the program's components

    I use my computer to flirt all the time.

    Though it needs to be on and I don't usually call it flirting.

  10. Re:Don't go jumping up and down just yet on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1
    The judge is right!

    There's nothing wrong with teaching ID, in the right place. i.e.
    1. In a science class discussing theories and how some theories (Darwin's) help provide a deeper insight into the world around us and others (ID) seek to ignore questions and stifle debate.
    2. In a social science class to show how redefining language can be used to redefine peoples perception of reality.
    3. In a comparative religion class to show how most religions (Catholicism possibly being an exception) believe in ID in some form or other.

  11. More articles on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 2, Informative

    BBC and Wired

  12. How old is this? on Rat Brains Fly Planes · · Score: 1
    The register reported this a year ago.

    They even built a series of articles based on it called the Rise of the Machines (RoTM) and invented an organisation to combat it the Neo-ludites Resistance Army (NRA).

    Search the register for RoTM.

  13. Re:Just say "Please, no!" on Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    Bah! Humbug!

  14. Re:I just want ssh on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 1

    The spec only mentions a usb slave.
    So no usb keyboards (, mice, card readers, hard disks, etc...)!

  15. CVS patent on Nokia Starts Open Source Website · · Score: 1
    Did anybody else notice that one of the engineers has a patent pending which looks to me remarkably like CVS/RCS/VSS?

    Maybe it's just that I can't read legalese.
