  1. Better idea on New Call For Turing Pardon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Prime Minister Cameron makes a general statement not just for Turing but for all those tortured and prosecuted under what we now rightly see was a terrible and cruel "law". Society has moved on and a bold declaration that not just Turing but all those convicted of crimes of this nature are considered to be pardoned would solidify how far we have progressed.

  2. Conversation on Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever · · Score: 1

    I could tell pretty much after third reply... Me: Sup? Eugene: I don't understand the question. Me: Sup! As is what is up? Eugene: I'm having a great day! Me: Oh yes? What's so great about it all hyped about the win? Eugene: So we reached consensus. Go on then! If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-) Say what? Perhaps under strict test conditions it's fine but released into the wild it's rather poor.

  3. Re:Yes! on Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head · · Score: 1

    2+2 = 11 ....In base 3 of course. Language must evolve over time, ye olde eventually changed and in time I look forward to the rules of grammar becoming more relaxed. As for the artickle, it's pretty clever sharks don't have many attachment points and making a laser that can not only be fitted to a shark but be waterproof and powered to not bother the creature to the extent its trainer says stop is pretty impressive.

  4. Re:But this price rise is artificial.... on The Specter of Gasoline At $5 a Gallon · · Score: 1

    LMGTFY; Two sets of standards have been defined for light-duty vehicles in the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990: Tier 1 standards applied to all new light-duty vehicles (LDV), such as passenger cars, light-duty trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUV), minivans and pick-up trucks. First 50k miles/5 years all in g/mi THC 0.41 NMHC 0.25 CO 3.4 NOx Diesel 1.0 - More relaxed NOx limits for diesels applicable to vehicles through 2003 model year NOx gasoline 0.4 PM 0.08 - PM standards applicable to diesel vehicles only And those are... THC - Total hydrocarbons NMHC - Non-methane hydrocarbons CO - Carbon monoxide NO - Nitrogen oxides PM - Diesel particulate matter Well let's look at a Golf 5door TDI S HC+NOx 0.207 CO 0.382 NOx 0.158 Particles 0.0004 Estimated fuel consumptions; EC Urban (mpg) 49.6 EC Extra Urban (mpg) 74.3 EC Combined (mpg) 62.8 So i'm not entirely sure the arguement that it would fail emission laws holds up.

  5. Re:OT: What's with all the hyperbol summaries late on Secret UK Network Hunts GPS Jammers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Besides we don't need GPS, we can use the vast CCTV network to track you far better.

  6. Back to class on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1

    I have 6 apples, Tommy and Sheila both want an equal share, how many apples do they both get? 6/2 = 3 I have 6 apples, nobody wants any apples, how many apples does everyone get? 6/0 = 0 And I get an upset stomach from eating so many apples myself...

  7. Re:Damnit... on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    If I was there I could easily take a week vacation knowing that I could easily bribe the cashier to let me buy 3 rather then 1, costing me say $150 for the bribe and $1,000 for the PS3's Assuming I don't keep one for myself I can for the small expenditure of $1,150 expect to see a massive return 24 hours later when they are sold out, everywhere and I can offer them on E-bay for ... I wouldn't even want to guess at this point, say $4,100. Oh and if i'm smart i'll get on television and in the paper, then I can sell my story also and get some more cash as well as be the envy of geeks everywhere.

  8. Not being a Halo fan on Halo Movie Postponed, Street Fighter Movie On · · Score: 1

    Not being a Halo fan I am moderatly intrested in the Street Fighter movie, if it's all about being able to drink beer whilst in my favourite lounger like the first movie was, it's okay in my book.

  9. So crazy... on Microsoft or Google? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Tell both companies the other has noted in an interest in you working there and ask the question that most job interviewees hate; but not "Why should you work for us?" but "Why should I work for you?" It's the question they will be least expecting and the answer may be somewhat telling.

  10. I'm glad on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    it was only a test, in the event of an actual Nuclear typing just now would probably be hard.

  11. Re:Why Are People Still Playing WoW? on Official WoW Expansion Talent Information · · Score: 1

    It's better then SWG? I enjoy it just now but I don't quite know where i'm going to be going or if i'm going to be staying with it. I think i'll have to use the excuse, i'm new, i've been playing less then a month...

  12. A truly original story on The Many Colours of Okami · · Score: 1

    It's set on the moon and the main character is actually a ghost! I really can't see how regardless of it's mighty roots it can escape ultimatly get to location X killing enemies along the way and talking to NPC's to figure out that you actually need to go to location Y and get object Z off someone that wants to keep it.

  13. Sony development on Sony UK Refused P2P Software Patent · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer Sony to work on this mystical PSP network (like what the DS has) which can be apparently located in a cupboard somewhere in London, the Dungeon of Edingburgh castle, between 03:12 and 03:14 in Cardiff and anywhere in Glasgow above 1 mile in height. Having a useable network for PSP users around the world should really be a primary target.
