  1. Re:D'uh from these quarters too. on Why the RIAA Really Hates Downloads · · Score: 1

    Just like with jamendo perhaps?

  2. Re:Let me be the first to say on Sony BMG Sued For Using Pirated Software · · Score: 1

    Actually some physicists developed model which shows this is physically preffered state. Essentially those who have money have it easier to make more money. Those who don't have many money must use it all to live and don't have possibilities of investing them. So even when today we would disperse all money among all people on earth, tomorrow there would be richer people, and in a week some people with good money skill would be very rich.

  3. What is a barista smile? on Study Shows Males Commonly Mistake Sexual Intent · · Score: 1

    Well, I think barista's smile is not defined in many cultures (even in many european cultures, I didn't know such thing exists). So these studies may not be applicable to all cultures.

  4. Re:Hackers? on Griefers Assault Epileptics Via Message Board · · Score: 1

    Yes, we should find another word for hackers, so media would not confuse it anymore. I propose "thinking overlords".

  5. Re:India will be respected on Building the World's 4th Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually people are not very good building nodes of supercomputers. They think slow, make way too many errors, and have horrible i/o speed, not to mention the best have about 7 abstract bytes of working memory (can hold about 7 concepts at a time). It would take thousands of years and millions of people to make calculations which this supercomputer can manage in minutes.

  6. Re:wreck the elevator on Space Elevators Face Wobble Problem · · Score: 1

    It would be just like dancer retracting arms. Tether would KEEP it's angular momentum, but would be closer to center of rotation, so would be moving faster. Earth rotates in direction of east, so tether would also go east (till atmospheric effects kicked in and it would burn in upper atmosphere and lower sections (about 50km) would just fall).

  7. Re:wreck the elevator on Space Elevators Face Wobble Problem · · Score: 1

    Pieces above or in upper atmosphere would burn. Pieces which are near ground or survive reentry would just fall like paper. You wouldn't get whip cracking effect, for this last fragment of a tether should be travelling up.

  8. Re:I wonder on Silent Microchip 'Fan' Has No Moving Parts · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just like in piezoelectric gas lighters. They have typically thousands of volts.

  9. Re:huh? on Few of OOXML's Flaws Have Been Addressed · · Score: 1

    Just in case you need to pull data from database to calculate some data in your document (for example presentation which shows a list of current clients, not list of clients available at the moment of making this presentation).

  10. Re:still need an outlook replacement on An Early Look at OpenOffice.org 3.0 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Thunderbird is more like outlook express. You are searching for Evolution I think.

  11. Re:Ok, you can walk ... on New BigDog Robot Video · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you watched video to end? It shows how it runs and jumps over some area.

  12. Re:Cool, yes. Useful? on New BigDog Robot Video · · Score: 1

    Just like Polish hussars maybe? Well, just make it fast and add wings. It should really scare your enemies. But after one or two sightings, they would be scared no more and would start to devise ways of destroying those robots.

  13. Re:Simply Amazing. on New BigDog Robot Video · · Score: 4, Funny

    I frankly don't see the actual use in war, besides transporting things
    Yes, enemies would make small planes fly around it with some rope and tie its legs.
  14. Re:How does source code horde? on Settlement Reached in Verizon GPL Violation Suit · · Score: 1

    Well, you should try inexpensive developers, they are cheaper.

  15. Re:Anti-personnel weapon on How The Latest in High Tech Works · · Score: 1

    Not after being hit with MW-range laser beam miliseconds prior to lightning strike...

  16. Re:First post? on High Expectations For Google Android · · Score: 1

    Google already has some resources and some developers, and all those developers are screaming Android is FURTHER innovation. I don't say iPhone is not innovation. It IS. But android will be innovation from iPhone point of view. Something like iPhone - Steve Jobs' phone, Android - owners' phone.

    http://www.rexresearch.com/pringle/pringle.htm it already starts to make sense.

  18. Re:Actually on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 4, Informative

    Mathematical equations can be stochastic, they may have defined certain probabilities of happening. Stochastic L-Systems are good for demonstrating outcomes of some stochastic equations (I'm telling it after weekend with L-system parser for school project).

  19. Re:Good way to turn a positive thing negative on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    Us, developers = normal people. Normal people = mere lowly mortals. ;)

  20. Re:Good way to turn a positive thing negative on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, I'd gladly accept a no-plugin firefox. No more bloated firefox.
    You can just not use plugins. But I would like to use them. So it is crippled.

    They haven't BLOCKED anything
    They legally have. I can not develop firefox with plugin on iphone, or use skype with edge.

    To go from the article (which is entirely positive on Apple), and turn it around to be negative is doing a disservice to the original author.
    But maybe some people don't like what author said? For a fanboi: Hurray, we have sdk!. For normal people: well, this sdk is way below our expectations.

    More like kaszanka. And looks like one too.

  22. Robotic overlords on Endeavour Crew to Assemble Giant Robot, in Space · · Score: 4, Funny

    When to say this if not now? I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords from space.

    Why not? Because the net will contain sub-internets within game worlds. sub-internets will be the new places to hang out.
    Yeah, but thos subnets have all the problems of internet plus their own. In internet we have spam, in SL we have flying penises and griefing.

    You need virtual machines for security. If you for example don't want for one program to be able to spy on another's workings.
