    Pot: Kettle, you are sooooo black.

  2. Re:As a tech, I've never trusted Maxtor on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire! · · Score: 0

    My Deathstar's had the same failure rate. 3 of them within a year and a half. Perhaps some may argue those numbers aren't statistically relevant, but it was close enough for me. I did, however, have more problems with the quantum fireballs which had plenty of issues. Sadly though, I never had the opportunity to actually see the metamorphisis into an actual fireball.

  3. Real Men(TM) on Basic Internal Instant Messaging Solution? · · Score: 0

    Real Men(TM)use net send to get the message across. As an added bonus, most people won't take the time to reply.

  4. Re:Christ, not again. on The Question of Robot Safety · · Score: 0

    Perhaps because he coined the term "robotics"...? Many would argue he was a visionary and defended the ideals of science in an era where FUD was rampant in sci-fi lit. Don't be banging on Asimov cause he's old school. You might not be able to sit that high on the horse around trekies and the like if he hadn't furthered scientific thinking.

  5. Commitment on Starting an Education in IT? · · Score: 0

    Many people have the ablility to learn quickly and are interested in wide variety of fields. In my experience, it's better to not think of those abilities as an asset. Interest and ability are a dime a dozen. It's the ones who have commitment and discipline to their respective fields who are truly valuable. Don't *ask* what you should be interested in. Find something you like, integrate yourself in the community, and don't get distracted by philosophical ruminations or side projects.

  6. Ad Blocking Countermeasures on Slashback: Walmart and Wiki, Alan Ralsky · · Score: 0

  7. Fight Patents with Patents on Lucent Sues Microsoft, Wants All 360s Recalled · · Score: 0

    I am herby submitting a patent on a process I call "thinking". Thinking consists of mentally analysing facts and then forming opinions with these facts. Any new posts that contain original "thinking" or "thoughts" shall face stiff legal penalties and will be pursued with the utmost vigor. You may avoid these penalties by paying me enormous royalties before engaging brain or by using only thoughts I have released to the public domain. Your compliance is anticipated. Resistance is futile.

  8. Duh on Babies Can Learn Words as Early as 10 Months · · Score: 0

    I could have told you this in 99 when my son was a 10-month old. I wish I thought to publish a paper this. I hope no federal money was used on this. It's like the $200 haircut except even more useless. On the plus side, a rigorous scientific method is good so perhaps psychology may one day evolve into a science.

    no kidding...my cyrix runs between 3.6 and 3.8 and its not even under a load...

  10. Re:Mac users? on AMD Subpoenas Skype · · Score: 0

    Don't see how that Monopolistic Intel mentality is any different from the Monopolistic Apple one except on a smaller scale. Its really less a Monopolistic mentality and more a proprietary one which I sure Apple user's will gobble right up.

  12. Re:Wouldn't dentists fight this? on Fight Tooth Decay with Electricity · · Score: 0

    While I would agree that dentists along w/ many other medial professions over-diagnose things and recommend unnessecary procedures, I have trouble believing its because of a lack of business. Have you tried getting an appointment lately? In my neck of the woods, 2-3 month waiting minimum for a standard appointment. Maybe scheduling with a dentist that is scheduled far out is a way to avoid the crackpot's.

  13. Re:Hospice Experiences on Thirsty People Feel More Pain · · Score: 0

    > Of course, we get orders to pump enough morphine into them that the whole thing > might be considered mute. I think the term you are looking for is moot, but depending on how much you gave them mute too could be a better descriptor.

  14. Chemical Process on Is Ethanol the Answer to the Energy Dilemma? · · Score: 0

    Get back to me when there is a useful chemical process involving de-denaturing the ethanol so I can put it back to good use. Just totally undrinkable in its current form.

    Borg or Daleks?

  16. Intelligent Designer on 27 Unknown Species Discovered · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think the intelligent designer wanted us to find them now... I'm pretty sure these bugs are somehow supposed to body snatch Pat Robertson who will then become the next President by assinating any who oppose him. Donald Rumsfeld, who is also translucent w/ a yellow liver, will be his running mate. Upon hearing these plans of the intelligent designer, the flying spagetti monster was quoted "You win, I've got nothing." Its noody appendage was reported as "limp".

    Actually they have already made this. Been around for years, comes in a bottle which I highly recommend to all my friends. Called Jack Daniels.
