  1. Re:What about Abstraction? on Get Speed-Booting with an Open BIOS · · Score: 1

    besides just abstraction, what about POST. This is the primary time for the computer to make the decision it is unsafe to boot. POST codes are less useful than they have been in the past, but that doesn't take away from the importance of testing upon boot.

  2. This is going to be an unpopular opinion on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    but perhaps, and I am just saying perhaps, this is a communication region in the brain, and stimulating it analogous to stimulating the nerve of the ear, or stimulating the region of the brain interpreting signals from the eye. It would seem if you wanted a religious explanation, this could be the "communication center" for an other state of being than the one we're currently in. Like I said, this will be an unpopular opinion.

  3. Podcasting on Adams' Dirk Gently Serialized on BBC Radio · · Score: 1

    I think Radio4 uses some sort of random algorithm for choosing what they will podcast. I've listened to many of their programs both on iTunes and streaming, and I can honestly say the programs they choose to podcast have just as much value (monetarily) as the programs they choose not to. Also I've found that it is fairly arbitrary whether I'll be able to find the program that I'm looking for on iTunes. Going through the steps of capturing it to MP3 to play on the iPod doesn't have enough value for the time spent doing it in my opinion. Some day a media company will get it right... oh wait, that's probably not true.

  4. That Close! on Missing Potential Earth-Busting Asteroid Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    Close in astronomic scale and we just "lost" it for a while, like, perhaps we took our eye off the ball?

  5. Giving this away? on China Now Blocking RSS Feeds · · Score: 1
    I'm sure we're doing the Chinese a great service by discussing the various ways they might circumvent the great firewall. Not that anybody would go report harmful information to the Ministry of Internet

    The ministry has also established a system of online reporting centers that encourage citizens to report "harmful" information
