  1. Re:Tracking on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 1

    Yea, odd, cause your comment is 100% correct, and I say that as one who likes Google.

  2. Re:Another silly name on 30 Years of the Apple Lisa and the Apple IIe · · Score: 1

    I know it sounds childish to say Derp Derp, I thought it said Apple Lie, but no seriously I had to re-read it also.

    I never would have made that mistake 6 years ago.

  3. Re:"Fountain of Youth" Pill? on Researchers Study Mystery of the Toddler Who Won't Grow · · Score: 1

    Only in places that respect patents, you will be able to find businesses in other places claiming to do the same treatments for much less, and some of those places may not be scams.

  4. Re:Not a Surprise on Curiosity Finds Evidence of Ancient Surface Water · · Score: 1

    The answer is it lost its magnetosphere, which brings up the question of how did it loose it's magnetosphere.

    Just because an answer brings up further questions that doesn't mean that the original question was not answered.

  5. Re:BASIC on Book Review: Super Scratch Programming Adventure! · · Score: 1

    Damn dude, he learned from youtube and flash video game sites, not from a dnd troll or ogre.

    Please continue to submit what you think he may type like though =)

  6. Re:Shame it came from MIT on Book Review: Super Scratch Programming Adventure! · · Score: 1

    If you want to put artificial limitations on how you will improve your life then by all means cripple yourself with stupidity.

    Get back with reality when you want to make a difference.

  7. Re:BASIC on Book Review: Super Scratch Programming Adventure! · · Score: 1

    I put a craptastic old computer running Ubuntu in the living room for the kids when they come over.

    I didn't have to teach them to read, they taught themselves.

    Considering their fascination with Mario I may be able to get one of them going on programming by showing him how to make his own levels.

  8. Re:God and Star Wars on How the Internet Makes the Improbable Into the New Normal · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be too quick to say that no new religions would be formed, after all look at the beliefs of the Rastafarian.

  9. Re:Beautiful?!? on CES: IN WIN Displays Costly but Beautiful Computer Cases (Video) · · Score: 1

    It is ugly and badly designed. This is a case for people who like bicycle parts who have absolutely no knowledge about computers.

    The open air design along with all those fans means it will be loud and it will have horrible air flow.

  10. Re:Is he right? on Ask Slashdot: How To React To Coworker Who Says My Code Is Bad? · · Score: 2

    You just made me consider something I have never thought about before.

    Do wild monkeys throw poo?

    I would think that the ones in zoos throw poo because they can't actually get close enough to rub it in your face and then bite your face off.

  11. Re:Immortalized? LOL on Early Pirate Bay Server Immortalized In Museum · · Score: 2

    The possibility of the individual components being reused is less likely than it being destroyed and broken down to the worthwhile chemicals.

    It is worth more as a piece of history (no matter how inconsequential it was) than it is as a pile of chemicals to be.

  12. Re:There goes that idea on Hiding Secret Messages In Skype Silences · · Score: 1

    Wrong choice of words, but close enough.

    One would exploit the information

  13. There goes that idea on Hiding Secret Messages In Skype Silences · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you are going to hide something, don't let everyone know where you put it.

    Now that the exploit has been discussed it will be watched out for.

  15. Re:Mmmhmm, I smell something bad. on Anti-GMO Activist Recants · · Score: 1

    Yes it is, it is usually completely covered in bullshit, and I don't feel like sorting though it, so if you want to convince me that your position is correct link me the absolute best evidence of your position.

  16. Re:Mmmhmm, I smell something bad. on Anti-GMO Activist Recants · · Score: 1

    Without verifiable facts all you are doing is spreading bullshit, which is what he was doing, but he went and looked at the facts and found he was WRONG so he changed his position.

    So

    Got any links to back up your claims?

  17. Re:As an environmentalist ... I discovered science on Anti-GMO Activist Recants · · Score: 1

    In school you are taught environmentalism from kindergarten on, in fact you see it in a lot of children's television even. Science doesn't begin to get taught until 4th or 5th grade.

  18. Re:moving forward I see on Anti-GMO Activist Recants · · Score: 2

    He most likely already has thought about, unlike climate change skeptics which hold a position that is not supported by science.

  19. Re:Useless on Dad Hires In-Game 'Assassins' To Get His Son To Stop Gaming · · Score: 1

    I quit Everquest for awhile because I found doing over the phone dsl tech support was more fun. At one of those places that tell you you'll have two weeks of training, but they toss you on the phone after 2 hours of training.

    It got old after awhile though and I went back to EQ.

  20. Re:Ubuntu Mobile ... on The Android SDK Is No Longer Free Software · · Score: 1

    BTW, isn't it funny the way all the "don't be evil" trolls suddenly shut up when we have an actual example of Google doing something not nice?

    I think you have confused trolls with fanbois, trolls will talk shit about a company without any evidence, fanbois will support a company even when there is evidence against said company.

    So the trolls are still talking, the fanbois may be still giving excuses, but the rational people are shutting up since there is as you said Actual Evidence.

  21. Re:Khan is not "math" on Khan Academy Will Be Ready For Its Close-Up In Idaho · · Score: 1

    Forget about numbers, mathematics is an exercise in proper, formulated thought, and if there's anything applicable in the world, it's the ability to think straight.

    just an fyi, I only have a high school education, so take what I say below with a grain of salt.

    Ok, you are looking at mathematics in a way that probably only around 1% of the population does. In my opinion once you get past simple arithmetic you start getting into the philosophy of problem solving, which is what you are talking about.

    Some people get a glimpse of that when they take algebra, but very few advance beyond that.

  23. Re:Beats sitting in front of a computer? on Google Engineer Shows How To Forge Swords and Knives · · Score: 1

    If you sit in front of a computer all day it is sometimes nice to go home and do things not on a computer.

    Much like if you sat in front of a forge all day you might like to go home and sit in front of a computer.

    I did not vtfv (view the fucking video), but I rather doubt that the guy is looking to do this for a living, but is instead doing it as a hobby.

    Your "whoosh" indicates that I am missing vitally important information that every other person on this earth knows except for me.
