  1. Re:fMRI is not perfect on "Vegetative State" Patients Can Communicate · · Score: 1

    "It could just be false detections from imperfect scanning," fMRI is attuned to blood oxygen levels. The study doesn't really say any anything except "hey guys, remember that fMRI doesn't actually image neuron firings but increased oxygenated blood flow."

  2. Re:My TinFoil Prediction on Of Late, Fewer Sunspots Than Usual · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except that in the 70's there was already a huge calmour about a Global Cooling.

  3. Re:Perhaps Apple should begin licensing OS X on Running Mac OS X On Standard PCs · · Score: 1

    No, that's not true. Design can be objective. We're not necessarily talking rounded corners, we're talking about material of case, dimensions of case, fan noise, etc. Things which can be measured.

  4. Re:And the best part is on GPL Code Found In OpenBSD Wireless Driver · · Score: 1

    It only half-worked for me. I had to switch away from bcm43xx back to ndiswrapper because strange things happened. Like I had to reload the module about every 24hrs, otherwise my connection would just stop.

  6. No... on Apple to Charge for Boot Camp? · · Score: 1

    Why would it be Sarbanes-Oaxley compliance? They've been quite open (and made a few ads) about being able to run Windows on Mac. They didn't release that the cards were actually 802.11n, which is why they have to charge to make them such. It's not the same situation.

  7. Uh.... on Apple to Charge for Boot Camp? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'll believe it when I see it.

  8. It's all your fault. on Nobel Prize Winners Live Longer · · Score: 1, Funny

    If you don't mod me up, I'll die earlier. Modding Down = Murder. Please, think of others. Mod up. A public service announcement.

  9. No, it's not.. on Justin Long No Longer A Mac · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...It's more likely because his agent figured he was "hot stuff" which Apple couldn't live without and so he demanded too much money. Then Apple proceeded to say, 'Alright then. Goodbye', where then Long's agent had a massive 'oh crap' moment and heart attack.

  10. Re:Web 2.0? on Saving Democracy With Web 2.0 · · Score: 1

    As soon as people forget the web 1.0 bubble and the web 2.0 bubble again.

  11. Am I alone in this? on Greek Blog Aggregator Arrested · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else read this as "Geek Blog" instead of "Greek Blog"?

  12. iPod you say? Why yes! on OSX To Feature Portable User Accounts? · · Score: 1

    This definitely sounds like something the iPod would win at and would still be apple-style. You can just picture the keynote where Jobs has 2 iMacs and an iPod with a user account, he removes the iPod from dock 1 and places it in dock 2, clicks around, "...and boom. I'm logged in with all my settings, bookmarks, and files." I think I could see myself using this functionality.

  13. Not a wiki? on Co-Founder Forks Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Informative

    So, it's not really a fork of Wikipedia, because it's not really a wiki anymore. It's just...a controlled community database.

  14. Yeah, because.. on RIAA Ends Harassment of Grieving Family · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, because the RIAA is soo known for all their good publicity and PR-control.

    I hope it comes with extra plutonium. A nuclear reaction is needed to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity!

  18. There is a lesson to be learned here, my friends.. on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 1

    See telcos? If you really want to make money, just support and lobby for a complete net neutrality bill which has a clause excluding Myspace.com from neutrality! Then you'll be rich, and we'll have net neutrality(ish)!

  19. Re:wxWidgets linux does NOT use Qt... on WxPython in Action · · Score: 3, Informative

    wxWidgets is not LGPL. wxWidgets is under the wxWindows (the project was renamed but apparently this wasn't) license.

  21. How is this legal? on AT&T Rewrites Privacy Policy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Can they really legally say, "Welp, even though it's your personal data, we reserve the right to do whatever we want with it if it benefits us or our partners." ?

  22. Don't watch them all in one day.. on Samsung Ships the First Blu-Ray Player · · Score: 4, Funny

    All 10 titles? You should -be- so lucky. Back in my day, we had -1- 240x180 AVI of a CGI dancing baby and we -liked- it. You young whippersnappers and your "1820q" and your "ePod" and your "skipe".

    > Guess the whole line of "location, location, location" really is true.

    I know this is off topic, but is it me, or whenever I hear something repeated 3 times or more, all I'm thinking is "Developers, developers, developers, developers.."

  25. Re:For me. on Redemption Still Possible For Sony? · · Score: 1

    PS2 was a disappointment for a number of reasons. The two main things for me were, I've had horrible experiences with the DVD player in both my and my friend's PS2, and that the remakes of PS1 games seemed to be much, much worse. My opinion, though. PS3 is overpriced. That's all I need. I'm not going to pay about as much as I'd pay for a PC just to game, and maybe watch some videos in a format I won't buy. SOE is a disappointment. I don't think this needs further detail.
