    Did you ever play Sim Ant? It was awesome. It was as good as A-Train and Sim City.

    I should go find a SIm Ant ROM... It has to be out there somewhere.

    Leave it to you to post such a response. Much appreciated.

    The funny thing is, I was thinking about your site the other day as I used to go there and check out the new and interesting links pretty much every day. I didn't get around to searching for the URL. Now I can just grab it out of your sig.

    Have a good one.

    You have mentioned an elephant-repelling rock and a heavily armored caterpillar tank. I'm impressed and amused. While I am easily amused I'm not so easily impressed so, in short, it looks like you're fairly new to Slashdot. Welcome. Your colorful colloquialisms are delightful and make me, at least, chuckle.

    Then again, perhaps I'm easily impressed? I don't know. I may also be a wee bit high at the moment.

  5. Re:Controlling infestations on Electronics-Loving 'Crazy Ants' Invading Southern US · · Score: 2

    What works really great against aunts is some dish washer soap and water. Ants traditionally use the surface tension of water keep afloat instead of sinking. Dish soap is abrasive, cheap, but it's not too bad for the environment. It lowers the surface tension of water causing them to drown. Whenever ants are in my driveway I mix dish soap and water and it does an excellent job killing them. Works fast and after doing it like three or four times max they generally won't return for maybe until next year.

    Slashdot is not your personal fetish site. ;)

    Did you miss the, "And their pretty aggressive" part? That should be "they're" for "they are." So, yeah, their correction was correct. Your correction of their correction is incorrect, correct?

    I probably shouldn't help but...

    They make extension poles for spray cans. They are meant for use with wasp spray so that you can spray around the eaves. A hardware store, farmer's union, or similar should have such a product available. The holster at the end holding the can is adjustable and should hold a spray can of paint just fine.

    Careful. Wordpad adds its own markup to it (or it used to at least) that wasn't readable until you opened it up with a real text editor. I don't know if it still does this or not.

    Okay, so that was bad. I guess I'm not sorry for it. I probably should be though.

    We're just returning to dumb terminals and renting compute time. The terminals aren't so dumb and we pay with ads or personal information usually but, really, for everything that has changed we've really stayed the same.

    Wait! You're misunderstanding him. He means that it is a stupid question and that if we must answer the question then it is that we should build a supercomputer replica of a human brain is so that we can say we did it first. He wants to put science back on the map. He wants to make our children interested in solving the problems of tomorrow. He wants us to be first!

    Or they just want to post first...

    It is up to you what you believe.

    To be fair, that is all they've ever been doing. The feature set keeps increasing though. I'm not sure if you've noticed but we're moving back to the mainframe and dumb terminal days. I'd say they're doing alright. It's a commodity now.

  17. Re:Pot solves everything on Possible Graphene Alternative Made From Hemp Waste · · Score: 3, Interesting

    LOL True. It can't do that.

    Anyhow... I'm THAT guy. The guy that smokes and doesn't actually think that legalizing it will solve all the world's problems. I'm in favor of legalization and think that it would help solve *some* problems however. It is legal for me to smoke and grow now but I still think it should be legalized and subject to reasonable taxation.

    In case you're curious, I got my card because I have issues sleeping. I still have plenty of trouble sleeping but now I get to smoke weed legally. It hasn't helped though it does ease the paranoia to imbibe legally.

    I figure it would help lower budgets and stop us from incarcerating people for that particular victimless crime.

    I'm not positive if they do now but they did, at one time, run their mail servers on *NIX. I'm actually willing to hazard a guess that they're using it all over the place over there. However they're not selling it for consumers because they don't see it as best suited for their customers. We can quantify what is best scientifically for things that hemp might be useful for. OSes are subjective mostly with huge weighty lists of pros and cons. I think the term is false equivalency.

    It would be interesting if, under those same rules, we loaned the money directly to the kids so that they can start a business or whatnot. Sure, some will waste it. Given the percentage repayment plan you offer I'd suggest we'd be financially in the black with the program before too long. Allowing the people who didn't go to college to get a running start on life with some leeway as a safety net may be a solution that could work.

    I say this and I self-identify as a classic libertarian. Limited socialism and a strong social net haven't anything to do with liberty - nor do taxes - and neither particularly scares or offends me. Most people don't seem to actually understand the platform. Sorry about the Ashamed Republicans who have stolen the name, identified with the idiot Rand, and hidden themselves among us while vocally declaring that they're not neocons, conservatives, or Republicans.
