  1. Re:Math Quiz on First Images of Solar System's Invisible Frontier · · Score: 1

    So what's this about passing gas? There's a shockwave, and thereby a sound?

  2. Re:Interesting article but talk about padding... on A Quantitative Analysis of Online Dating · · Score: 1, Troll

    "Advice on the order in which the chapters should be read"... Hmmm. You might want to review the order in which you present your information. Doing so might expose your doctoral thesis to a voluntary peer review.

  3. Air Warrior anyone? on The Ten Greatest Years in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Geez, I can't believe that no one on /. mentioned Air Warrior. What a riot, back in the Amiga days playing online at a cost of $6/hour (yay genie!) against a bunch of people who I still call friends today... That was back in 1989.

    Those days were the very best time in gaming (online or otherwise) that I have ever had, a true community game. I've played so many games that have come and gone since, and yet nothing can even come close to playing Air Warrior back in the good old days...

    Hail Damned!

  4. English suffers as well... on Science Ability Down in U.S. High Schools · · Score: 1

    C'mon, must we write so ambiguously?

    "Fourth graders, ironically, are actually better at reasoning in the sciences now than they were ten years ago."

    If the typical fourth grader is 9 to 10 years old, it seems obvious that they would be better now.

    Oh, wait. I get it. Fourth graders today are better at scientific reasoning than fourth graders were ten years ago... Did the International Herald Tribune do any studies on it's editors abilities to properly use the English language?

  5. HAHA on Fighting FUD with Humor · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People are smart... Someone doesn't deal with the public...
