    I think the fix is completely wrong.
    If there were no parenthesis, there would be no hole. With the new

    there is now a hole where there was none.

  6. DRM on Your Thoughts Are Your Password · · Score: 0

    If this succeeds, the next step will be music/books/whatever that will only play if the right person is using it.
    Wait, that would mean he can use the media in multiple places/devices, this isn't restrictive enough. Never mind.

    Thanks for the info.
    Next time I brag about this, I'll be sure to mention that those are the 100 first digits of PI in Euclidean space.

  8. Incompetent idiots on Torvalds Has Harsh Words For FreeBSD Devs · · Score: 0

    Won't take long before Linus starts throwing chairs.
    Is it me, or "powerful" people are never humble?

  9. Does this mean on Fundamental Constant Possibly Inconsistent · · Score: 1, Funny
    that I face the risk that the first 100 digits of PI that I have memorized could change, and the knowledge becomes useless?

    This is actually true, I do know the first 100 digits by heart.

    ... linux will support it.
    The question is, will linux support it without you having to code the drivers yourself?

    I myself am a big fan of resignations of people like her, and while I know it's outside my authority, I also insist that she resigns.

    Judging from some movies, some of them are at least *aspiring* brain surgeons

  13. Re:Implants on Algae May Help Reverse Blindness · · Score: 0

    Cool, they can now build electronic parts out of algae

  14. Re:monitor replacement on Implants Allow the Blind to See · · Score: 0

    Actually, I'd say the parent is not just funny but also insightful.
    If you already have the wires going inside and into your nerves, why not be able to replace the "standard" eyes with the direct ouput of the graphics card, when you're working on the computer?
    Of course you'd have to be careful with the signal strenth and such, but if the eyes work, this should as well.

  17. Source code on Two Unofficial IE Patches Block Attacks · · Score: 0

    These patches might include the source code, but it's the source for the code that modifies mshtml.dll (or whatever). It is NOT the source for the updated mshtml.dll.

    It must be awfully painful, getting your head decapitated by a thrown chair!

  21. Divorce on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 1

    Will Office 2007 also be divorced from Vista?

  22. Re:Emailing Students on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can type on a computer and maintain eye contact with someone (not look at the keyboard or screen). But I can't do that while writing with pen and paper.

  23. Re:Filtering software is too hard to install? on Australian Labor Party Proposes ISP Level Filter · · Score: 1
    I totally agree with you, parents should not duck their responsabilities by letting the kids playing with something that someone else must ensure is safe for kids, so they get off their backs.

    But, they can't be there *all* the time. That's the same reason why those value-added phone numbers (I don't know how you call them over there) are also blocked. Parents can't sit by the phone all day to prevent their kids from being tricked by TV ads.

  24. Good thing on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing that this Anonymous Coward doesn't have a gmail address.
