  1. Re:Laser Game! on What Is Your Game of the Year? · · Score: 1

    Uh I presume you mean that the helicopter has your wife inside when you shine the laser? Ingenious!

  3. Waggle Dance? on Bees Can Optimize Internet Bottlenecks · · Score: 1

  4. Let me guess.... on Cause of Aurora Borealis Confirmed · · Score: 1

  5. How else do they remain in business?? on Ohio Plans To Encrypt After Data Breach · · Score: 1

    I'm quite sure these anti-virus companies must be having people dedicated to writing viruses so that they can remain in business. If people stopped writing viruses, these companies would have to shut down. They probably cannot afford to let this happen. If fact, if I have a security product, the best way to demonstrate and market it to a company would be to hack their systems and then appear out of nowhere and be the savior. Savvy.

  6. Prior Art on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 5, Insightful

  8. Commenting the code?? on Are You Proud of Your Code? · · Score: 1

    More often than not, I've seen people putting in comments that explain the code:

    int i = 1; //initialize i

    I mean, what sense does that make?? The mistake most programmers make is they comment the code and not the intent of the code. Some people write the code first and then comment it. Often times, the actual algorithm doesn't reveal itself at all in these comments. The reader keeps wondering what the hell is going on. I have tried to understand one such algorithm that used several different heuristics for accomplishing a particular purpose. The "code" for this function was more than 1000 lines and it was sparsely commented. It outlined the "intent" of what it wanted to do. But the code was too darn confusing. The sheer amount of variables that were used made it very hard to actually keep in mind what was going on.

    What I have learned is that you cannot "understand" code that is written by someone else and is complicated. You will be limited by your intelligence in trying to understand that code. The only thing you can do is fix some bug that may arise.

  9. Disperses the engergy where?? on Blast-Proof Fabric Resists Multiple Explosions · · Score: 1

    IF the fabric absorbs the energy, it has to get rid of it in some way. Assuming a person is wearing a suit made of this fabric, the energy of the explosion will be passed on to the wearer in which case, the guy/gal will explode inside or melt inside while wearing the damn suit. If not, it will have to be radiated as heat in which case also, the wearer will suffer massive burns.
