    He emigrated to Israel where he solved the solution.
    IANAM, but I believe he solved the problem, not the solution.

    So basically, this thing runs on pizza, pop tarts, coffee, mountain dew, and beer?

  9. Re:Isn't it the other way around? on Male Brains 'Wired for Videogame Obsession' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've always thought it was interesting that many women seem to be fans of Atari's Centipede arcade game, and it was supposedly the first arcade game written by a woman.

    I have a theory on why some women would enjoy a game that involves cutting a long snaky thing into pieces before it can get to them, but I'm not going to get into that here

    At the least, you'd have a pretty cool Knight Rider-esque turbo boost!

    However, the biggest point in that court case is that she was trying to drive with a polystyrene cup of hot coffee between her legs. The woman would be a prime darwin awards candidate if she didn't have kids already.

    1. She wasn't driving, she was in the passenger's seat
    2. The vehicle was parked at the time.

    If someone punches you in the face, do you beat them to death with a crowbar? No, you punch them back. If someone pulls a knife on you, do you pull out your grenade launcher?

  14. Re:dupe on Origin of the iPhone · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The links aren't exactly the same, this one has a query string containing "currentPage=all" - the other one doesn't. A script wouldn't really be able to tell if there were multiple articles on the same page and the query string was there to automatically scroll down to the relevant article or something like that.

    Maybe you're preparing yourself for the day you open a door and some dude stretches his butthole wide open and shoves it right in your face

  16. Re:Yeah on Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. Well, I'm not really a dream interpretation expert, but I play one on the Net. Anyway, many dreams are just the mind's way of working out problems -- or calling attention to problems -- that are currently occurring in our lives. That theory is sooo 2007.
  17. Re:What features? on Quality Open Source Calendaring / Scheduling? · · Score: 1

    This is probably the only feature I like in Lotus Notes. We use it across several facilities in different time zones and it works quite well.

    Possibly, if the HST was as large and powerful as the land based telescopes

    "The images space telescopes produce are of extremely high quality but they are limited to the size of the telescope," Dr Mackay added. "Our techniques can do very well when the telescope is bigger than Hubble and has intrinsically better resolution."

    In this article from 8/11 it sounds like they may have already loaded up a truck with the thing, then either the driver took off with it, or they put it in storage somewhere and somebody forgot where... or it was taken to the wrong location etc..

    "It disappeared back in June, when the foundation was moving out of its old building," a police spokesman told the agency.
    "Our colleagues are establishing what got lost, where the rock is and why they only came to us about it now."
