  1. Re:Bizzare initials on How SOPA & PIPA Could Hurt Scientific Debate · · Score: 1

    Seems to mean something in every language. In swedish SOPA is a derogatory term you say to someone when they suck (meaning 'garbage') and a verb meaning to use a broom. PIPA means smoking pipe.

  2. Source Code on OSHA App Costs Gov't $200k · · Score: 1
  3. Re:No. on Utah Repeals Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    While "we the people" see the costs as far outweighing the benefits, we're also not the ones that have to make decisions that will inevitably be criticized left and right no matter what they are. (Also despite popular belief, no one is capable of being the perfect politician.) We all see through biased eyes.

    If by "biased", you mean "pro-democratic" and "pro-freedom", then, yes.

  4. Games with real support for multiple screens? on Budget Triple-Screen Gaming · · Score: 1

    I have a 5-monitor setup at home, mostly for the e-penis. The only games I know which can support multiple displays is Burnout Paradise and MS Flight Sim. Burnout can use three monitors, but it doesn't do it very well. It places the HUD on the sidescreens with no option to move it. Actually Doom1 also support three monitors, but you have to use VMWare and connect three computers in a virtual network. Does anyone know of any relatively new game that has real support for multiple screens? It would be nice to for example have the map show up on one screen in FPS.

  8. With shocking disregard to their personal privacy? on Scientists To Post Individuals' DNA Sequences To Web · · Score: 0

    Making information about yourself available doesn't mean you disregard your personal privacy, as long as it's voluntary. Privacy means that you can seclude or reveal information about yourself, according to your own wishes.

  9. Re:The reason MN doesn't have the code on Breathalyzer Source Code Revealed · · Score: 0

    Or even from a more serious .12 to a less expensive and serious .9 or something borderline. Since when is a .12 more serious than a .9?
  10. Re:How I execute applications :) on How OS X Executes Applications · · Score: 0

    V A/C would then mean Volts per second? Is that a unit of processorburning?

  14. Re:Defence Contractor? on Imagining the Google Future · · Score: 0

    I'm waiting for Google to become a defence contractor and start working on the ballastic missle shield. They could call it GOBBLE: (G)oogle (O)rbiting (B)lastic (B)ombardment (L)ongrange (E)liminator. Besides the obvious purposes, GOBBLE could respond in real-time to subversive search terms. Like someone searching for LOLITA in Utah would be blasted by a laser in space.

    I can't wait to try out the beta version!

    Add a ball-throwing mechanism and you can watch two robots playing with eachother. If we are very lucky, humans won't have to have fun at all, we have robots for that.
