  1. Re:NO GM Seeds Please! on Doomsday Seed Vault Design Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Why not both? Then you can say 'this is what we had, and this is how far we've come'.

  2. When you make a measurement.. on Linux 2.6.20-rc6 Kernel Performance · · Score: 1

    it's good to include an error calculation. The first page of benchmarks could really be sampled from the same population (effectively), but its hard to say. I think for many of the tests shown, there would be variation.

    If this were done, it would make the interpretation more straight-forward.

    a molecular scientist? Isn't that a chemist?

  4. They may dup sometimes... on World's Densest Memory Cells Created · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...but its still better than going to digg!

    I don't care. I've got karma to burn!

  5. Re:Cure? on Cod Enzyme Kills Bird Flu · · Score: 1

    99% in 5 minutes. I would expect you'd kill all of the virus with a 3 day course of the stuff.

  6. Re:Good, give someone else a try on New Line And Jackson - Irreconcilable Differences · · Score: 2
    Yeah. Where's Tom Bombadill! I want dancing and singing for hours upon hours dammit!

    Anyway, you're comparing your own interpretation of Tolkien to Jackson's. It's Jackson's version of Tolkien's story, remember.

  7. Who said the focus was ugly? on GM Working on Feasible Electric Car · · Score: 1

    The old one was quite nice wasn't it?

  8. Re:only three axis? on How the Wiimote Works · · Score: 1

    SIXAXIS rolls off the tounge a lot better than SIXDEGREESOFFREEDOM

    float InvSqrt (float x){

    x = *(float*)
    x = x*(1.5f - xhalf*x*x);
    return x;
    }

  10. If it's not dangerous... on Zero Day Exploit Found in Windows Media Player · · Score: 3, Insightful

    as people have commented, then why is it zero day? Doesn't zero day mean there is an exploit already?

  11. Re:hopefully on Sony Adds PS3 Support to Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    If I lost my games saves I don't know what I'd do!

  12. Fedora, not Yellow Dog? on PS3 Linux Now Installable · · Score: 1

    I thought Yellow Dog was supplying linux for the ps3. Whats going on?

  13. I wonder if she paid $40 for them at this website on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 1
    Thats $35 + $5 for delivery. I didn't realise that buying .txt files on CD over the internet was a crime.

    Link to a dodgy website. AVG better be working.

  14. This lack of forum threading is unbearable! on Sony Firm On PS3 Pricing · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    How can I correct people? Why am I asking you, when you can't reply to me! Argh!

  15. It seems the article has been taken down. on Long-Term Wikipedia Vandalism Exposed · · Score: 1

    Can someone offer a link to it? I may have missed it??

  16. ?? You mean it didn't have a dvd player before? on Japan To Get Wii With DVD Player · · Score: 1

    Huh. That would explain the price of the thing.

  17. You know, guys, its not going to be $600 forever on Why Sony Won't Lose The Next-Gen War · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The ps2 was expensive when it came out. They have DVD manufactuing problems, so the first games that came out were on CDROM. They weren't really that great either. It took many years for the gamecube and the dreamcast to just dissappear.

    My point is the war isn't won at launch. Its won when the system has lots of GOOD games for it, and they become cheap. When production becomes cheap so the manufacturer makes a profit off it. When the console becomes cheap enough to be able to buy another one, just as a backup. When developers are able to program for the blasted thing, without spending a billion dollars over 3 years.

    We've got years of this to come. I don't think I can stand any more of the speculation. I just wanna play some games!

  18. Sony says sour grapes on Sony's Win a Major Blow for Importers · · Score: 1
    I don't know if it hasn't been posted already, but Sony has said sour grapes.

    Personally, Lik Sang knew the risks of what it was getting into, and got what was coming to them.

  19. Wish for a million more wishes. on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 1

    They always used to annoy me. Thats not why I switched to Opera, but you don't care do you. You're reading this comment, because I'm trolling.

    Thats ok! You're free to read whatever you want to read and mod me how ever you wish.

    Can't we just fight back? We've got the manpower. The will. The spirit. The motivation. The cause. Can't someone just steal the remaining exploits from them? Its for the greater good of the community.

    Any ideas anyone?
