    Ooooh, so profound.

    How much better can the OED really be?

    The same as 1 forever.

  4. Re:I am scared. I am intrigued. on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cherry/orange/banana flavoured anything aren't made entirely of cherry/orange/banana, this meat is made of meat. It IS meat. A banana grown in the lab tastes quite a lot like a banana.

  5. Re:No, you won't on 30,000 UK ISP Users Face Threat Letters For Suspected Illegal File Sharing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just so you know, a linebreak does not constitute an adequate chance to respond to your first question. Do you understand?

    I'll take that as a yes.

  6. Re:Touch screens and the like on Apple vs. Microsoft Multi-Touch Mouse Comparison · · Score: 1

    Why have a cordless trackman when you don't need to physically move the mouse, surely replacing batteries is more annoying than a static wire?

    You have some interesting points, person, posting using Artraze's account, on a website my DNS tells me is slashdot.org.

  8. Re:The hiss is where it hides on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 1

    If the study asked you which sounded better, if you couldn't tell the difference then you would choose one randomly. A large number of people rating MP3 higher than FLAC would then suggest that a large number of people chose randomly and so a large number of people could not tell the difference.

    But I already know it fails for anyone else because I am friends with other Facebook users.

    It doesn't matter, and unsigned, obviously.

    And God knows we can't even consider solving a problem properly when more pressing problems exist.

    "Also, when was the last time you tried to visit Facebook and it was down? They're doing quite well for people who need to stop and actually think about their "implimentation"."

    When was the last time you tried to use Facebook or Facebook chat and didn't get failed transport requests, unsent chat messages, unavailable photos, or random blank pages?

    Every hemlock plant article I found on wikipedia describes them as poisonous in the introduction.

    The main problem is probably powering a robot on the moon without solar power.

  18. Re:hmmmm on Melting Memory Chips In Mass Production · · Score: 1

    Am I missing something, or is the parent vastly exaggerating the risk of data loss here?

  19. Re:Let's Have It, Then on Unambiguous Evidence of Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Springs are more complex than strings.

  20. Re:python sucks on Python Converted To JavaScript, Executed In-Browser · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what a mathematical join is, python is using join in the sense of attaching multiple things together, the regular English meaning of the word.

    You don't need to nest the comprehensions, simply use multiple lines:

    result = (item for item in list if predicate(item))
    result = (item for item in result if predicate2(item))
    result = [expensive(item) for item in result]

    Maybe it's not as nice as the method based filter/map, but it shows you don't have to horribly nest comprehensions like that.

    We ought to have done with it and just make everyone learn shorthand.

    "Look at it, a 5 year old could forge my 'signature', clearly it can't be used to legally distinguish me."

    You could argue it like that?
