  1. Re:Estimates are bogus. on Firsthand Account of the Christie's Star Trek Auction · · Score: 1

    Use your own judgement: Would you have expected a 10-foot piece of foam to go for the price of a house in Wyoming or some random god-forsaken place?

  2. Re:NASA... on A GUI For Books · · Score: 1

    People are dying in Iraq because there's not enough people. Solution: Robots. Robot musicians to Iraq.

  3. Re:/. editors have better things to do... on Patent Law Ruling Threatens FOSS · · Score: 1

    ... But what if he's in the middle of, say, the fourth death knight at the end of Naxxramas? Or even at Sapphron? He'll get killed! Hell, even the electric guy would kill him. And he would end up killing his entire raid, too.

  4. Re:Cut. Try another scene. on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Come here to southern California and try that. Our houses cost at least 400,000 pounds, equivalent in USD.

  5. Re:The "yeah, but does it run Linux" department on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1

    It's already availiable, but the partitioning is so that you can't edit or even access one partition from another. You need a bunch of really esoteric software to do it, too. Usually, both of the partitions run simultaneously and compete for CPU, so you switch partitions randomly. Not worth the work, really. On top of all that, you need even more esoteric software to remove it, because of the non-accessing thing. I know of a guy who got it to work, though: his name is Henry.... Henry Jekyll.

  6. Re:The Perceived Threat of Science on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    There is a third choice, of course, which is why that argument for belief is called 'Pascal's Wager' and one of the stupidest ones extant. That third choice is a god that hates you, for whatever reason. Maybe he sent down Muhammed as the last prophet, and doesn't expect you to still be loyal to lowly Isa. Maybe he knows the Jesus was not a messiah and has his existence to prove it. Maybe he's a them: it could be a pantheon. In that case, you get to go to usually-eternal hell, stuck with those very same people that you are averse to. Maybe there's even a god that likes atheists, for whatever reason.

  7. Re:Psssh. on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    Solution: Destroy everything. The rule about the conservation of matters says that there will always be some matter or matter-converted heat around, but there needn't ever be a consumer of matter. Everyone's happy, because everyone consists of nobody.

  8. Re:Maybe on Can a Gaming Cafe be Successful? · · Score: 1

    I came back from Korea a few days ago. Counted some 800-odd 'PC Bangs'(with a long a, literally, PC room) in Daegu and Seoul. They lower dramatically in quality as you get farther from Seoul, so if you ever visit Korea(which you should, if you're a dedicated gamer, if only for the two gaming channels that happen to mostly run starcraft), stay in Seoul. Best PC Bang I've been to was in Lotte World, in the Songpagu district.

  9. Re:Well, you could start by... on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 1

    Try simply taking a mouthpiece and buzzing on it, and practice lipping up or down. It works better with a woodwind, if you lip, but the noise is pretty horrible with a horn's, too.

  10. Re:Two Reactions on Homeland Security says 'Patch Windows Now' · · Score: 1

    Never heard of a *nix virus, let alone a major one. Homeland Security simply doesn't need to care about nixboxes, because they're far more secure than Windows. This may be due to obscurity, but the end result is same.

  11. Re:Total Revolution - flame on on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's just that, compared to the general population's opinions on Sony and Microsoft here, most of the lower life forms look like Jesus Christ's Second Coming by comparison.

  12. Re:Grinding your eyeball? on The U.S. Navy's Doctrine of Laser Eye Surgery · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If you have dyslexia, how can you spell dyslexia correctly while being unable to spell 'lose'?

  13. Re:How about an API on Opera 9.0 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They already switched to the pay TV model. What do you think the cable/sat people do with your $60?

  14. Re:You should see my bathroom on Overly Sanitized Environments Lead to Poor Health? · · Score: 1

    We had ones the size of Rottweilers, walking around in the ol' bathroom. I think they ate Bob, but I'm not sure.

  15. Re:Holy macaroni! on Washington Post Reviews its 10 Years on the Web · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, what mass of hedonism spends his life, day in and day out, getting girlfriends and joining clubs? I wish to inquire as to your newsreadership.

  16. Re:Im ready.. on First Embryonic Stem Cell Clinical Trial Imminent · · Score: 0

    Yes, but you don't really care about killing a mosquito, don't you? We're arguing about humanity, and we're kinda assuming that involves some kind of self-awareness.

  17. Re:Overlords on First Embryonic Stem Cell Clinical Trial Imminent · · Score: 0

    That comment about the dog raises a point: since our minds are inherently more malleable, why couldn't we be brainwashed to care more for a dog than a human?

    Y'know, they sell tea, too.

  20. Re:Headline nothing, as they are rasists and thiev on Japanese Scientists Make Alzheimers Progress · · Score: 0

    Do the mods browse at 1? It says, specifically, that you should browse at -1, just because of posts like the parent.

  21. Re:Not a dup on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 0

    You know, I learned about silent "e"'s in fourth grade.

  22. Re:Obligatory on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 0
    Or, perhaps, if the way to school is like a see-saw; the sheer weight of the pupils weighs the school down, sending it downhill... and the sheer weight of the pupils returning home weighs the community down, sending the school uphill. . .

    It would have to be circular, though.

  23. Re:In a capitalist economy, stuff like this happen on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 0

    While we /.ers do not know much on financial matters, we are not so base that we would have to ask you a question on currency exchange and deflation.

  24. Re:Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year. on Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year? · · Score: 0

    Actually, there's still something like 13 to the power of 8, in base 20, 'cycles' to go. On the 21st of December, 2012, the first cycle will end, counting from something ridiculous. So, probably more like 21st of December, 6,000,000,000, which will be much more accurate(sun will explode and all that).

  25. Re:Is it possible to use a targetted EMP burst? on Another Robotic Vehicle to Help Soldiers · · Score: 0

    You could do that with nuclear weapons. However, if you were a terrorist and had nuclear weapons, you probably wouldn't use them for disabling electronics.
