  1. Re:EliteBook on Rugged Laptop/Tablet Suggestions, 2010 Version? · · Score: 1

    Does Chanel now make ruggedized laptops? I'm impressed.
    I do however disagree with the logic of the statement that "Pink Chanel handbags make women full of attractiveness".
    Like the other troll in this thread, I think you confuse correlation with causation. Actually, I'm not even sure how well correlated are the sets of attractive women and women who carry pink Chanel handbags.

    But what can he do if he doesn't know that he doesn't know?

    Well-played, sir.

  4. My gut is fine on Japanese Guts Are Made For Sushi · · Score: 1

    Here's one American who loves sushi and sashimi. Except ikura (salmon eggs). Never cared for those. Seems like bait to me. The only other Japanese food I would not choose to eat again is natto. Of course, I don't think they're singling out Americans, just non-seaweed eaters in general.

    I would think your method would detect noise, but not monotonic changes.

    No, he's not. He's pushing up daisies. He's shuffled off this mortal coil. He is an ex-Slashdot commenter.

  7. Re:No bad thing on White House Issues New Gas Mileage Standards · · Score: 1

    I thought the "awesome" pretty well indicated that I saw the humor in it.

  8. Re:Fishies! on Grounded Russian Nuclear Sub Photographed With Sonar · · Score: 1

    The bad news is, after spending time near this sub, they'll be coming back with two tails and three eyes.

  9. Re:ultimate limit on Toshiba To Test Sub-25nm NAND Flash · · Score: 1

    If that was an answer, then what was the question?
    Assuming the question was something like "how will we get to sub-22nm technologies", I'll one-up you: Extreme Ultraviolet. (Wavelength - 13.5nm vs. ArF with pitch-doubling which would be equivalent of 193/2=96.5nm, so a factor of about seven better. ) Lately, the prospects for EUV have been getting pushed out to later years, but nothing new there.

    Well, that's why he's "Gandhi 2" and you're not!

    unless the plates all use numbers only, then it stays zero, but with more decimal places.

    Sono-shopped, you mean.

  13. Re:_AND_ it will get 50mpg on ICE on White House Issues New Gas Mileage Standards · · Score: 1

    I had a Contour, actually a Mercury Mystique, 1996, same as a Contour. Very well engineered IMO. V6 gasoline engine. Got about 25 mpg, and 170HP. Don't know that I would have bought a diesel version then, but if they sold them now I would, if I were buying a new car. I regret selling that car.

    Awesome exchange. I can see where you got your nickname.

  15. Re:Moral of the story. . . on Stalker Jailed For Planting Child Porn On a PC · · Score: 1

    Too smart to be a cop? Anyone know what might be the rationale for such a criterion? I'm really curious about that.

  16. Re:Too bad this isn't real on Moog's MF-401 Auto De-tune Fixes Music · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. "In all things, moderation."

    I heard an interesting podcast from Time magazine about Auto-Tune.

  17. Re:Do not want. on Endangered Species Condoms · · Score: 1

    The one-eyed python condom would be pretty cool, though.

  18. Re:Oh, Great on "Supertaskers" Can Safely Use Mobile Phones While Driving · · Score: 3, Funny

    Probably there are more supertankers than supertaskers on /.
    That was how I initially read the headline for an instant.

    We recommend niclosamide or another anthelminthic for Pete.

    my 1990 Citroen XM has a smaller transistor density than the extremely compact and powerful processors in modern systems

    To put it mildly, and an important difference relevant to this story. A factor of 2 ^ (20yrs/1.5 yrs.) = a little more than 10,000, if Moore's Law is valid. Still, I doubt this is the actual cause of the Toyota troubles.

    No, I don't think he meant he was wiping his ass with inter-office memos. That's not so comfortable, physically, though it does provide a certain satisfaction.

    Kelo v. New London.

    sad thing is the business they forced people out of their homes to give the land to, is no longer in business there. Way to go, Supreme Court.
