  1. Outright Fraud? on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    That's giving it too much credit. Calling it reminiscent of baby babble is more appropriate.

  2. There's plenty on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    Try whywontgodhealamputees.com. If you can manage to not quote from some old book, you'll get people willing to talk to you. Even the militant atheists. I don't have the patience. Others might.

  3. I'm sure plenty... on Doctor Who Makes Guinness Book of World Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...of doctors have made the Guinness Book of World Records. We have tall ones and short ones. Fat ones and thin ones. Who makes the titles again? Or perhaps the pun was intended.

  4. Hey coward. on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    In a perfect world, I'd carefully examine every Christian's background. In the real world, I have to make quick judgements. Welcome to reality.

  5. Talk with me. on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    Christians, and religious people in general, are stupid. Somewhat like ants are to humans. So we agree. That being said, I do agree that there are some aspects of "ID" that I can agree with. Mainly the parts that relate to the anthropomorphic principle. I'll open my mind to this, as long as the ants and their silly books keep away.

  6. Compared to Intelligent Design on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    Be careful not to give ammo to the ID folks. Talking with them is akin to having a deep philosophical discussion with an ant. String theory may or may not be the best science, but it is infinitely greater than any religious book.

  7. Not so simple on Group Fights Politicizing Science and Engineering · · Score: 1

    The best of scientists are not political at all (maybe libertarian).

  8. 2 things. on Is Microsoft Using RIAA Legal Tactics? · · Score: 1

    One, substitute "buy" for "by" in an obvious place. Two, the singularity will change this. Among other things.

  9. Future employment, then? on Is Microsoft Using RIAA Legal Tactics? · · Score: 1

    I tend to think the chances of a job with Microsoft did not improve too much.

  10. Viodentia motive? on Is Microsoft Using RIAA Legal Tactics? · · Score: 1

    Can some clue me in on the motive of Viodentia? Do they want donations? Do they have anything to sell? Ads? If they make any profit at all (donations are cool, however), then I will very quickly leave their side.

    People don't usually crack things in record time without a motivation.

  11. Also, women playing men!!! on Virtual Fashion Thrives in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Actually, that only happened once. And it didn't last long. Women usually play women. Men usually play women. Sometimes a man plays a man. And that one time, a woman played a man. But that's still a rumor.

  12. Don't hope! Act! on Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels · · Score: 1

    Give to singinst.org. Give to mind-brain.org. Give to imminst.org. Volunteer. work. Don't hope! WORK!

  13. Solution: singularity on Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels · · Score: 0

    OK, so the weather is a big funky. Nothing that hasn't happened before (the dinosaur meteor is far greater than even a nuclear war would be). Just wait a bit for the singularity. Everything changes once you reach that.

  14. My adventure on SL on Virtual Fashion Thrives in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Led me to conclude that it is mainly male _players_ (not avatars!!!) playing with only one hand dedicated to the _computer_. Did I miss something?

  15. What's the point of this? on The Myth of the 40 Hour Game · · Score: 1

    It's not saying anything. Why post complete air?

  16. 40 to 50% on Virtual Fashion Thrives in Second Life · · Score: 1

    OK, let's play this little game again. The actual human being behind the computer (unless there's a bot controlling it) is 87.5% male. Just like WoW. Just like every computer program since computers were invented. It's just the way it is. There may very well be more female avatars, but that means very little.

  17. Re:Open source transhumanism? on Open-Source Prosthetics · · Score: 1

    Sure! Singinst.org is a non-profit, so everything they do is pretty much open. There's a lot of money behind the mouse prize as well. Mind-brain.org is a great forum for the singularity.

  18. Open source transhumanism? on Open-Source Prosthetics · · Score: 1

    This would be great if it continues towards transhumanism. I really hope open source can help us towards the singularity. It really fits with the idea well.

  19. *Yawn* on Linux Taking Over Schools in India · · Score: 1

    Rather refreshing to see as least people click the "anonymous" button because they know it's tired. Hey people, griping about off-shoring and automation and too many engineers is NOT a valid job search activity.

  20. Relax on Click Fraud — An Insider Look · · Score: 1

    The singularity is coming. There won't be advertising after the singularity.

  21. Record per-click on Click Fraud — An Insider Look · · Score: 1

    Not unheard of. Some drug that was getting sued had a record of around $32 per click.

  22. Even IA64? on ATI's Stream Computing on the Way · · Score: 1

    I thought the IA64 was supposed to bring optimizations into software.

  23. Hear of IP's? on ATI's Stream Computing on the Way · · Score: 1

    I do hope you didn't just use the IP of your company. Learn to use library terminals. With gloves.

  24. Welcome to /. on Scientists Shocked as Arctic Polar Route Revealed · · Score: 1

    Home of a lot of computer science types. Who think they know all aspects of math, physics, and technology. But don't. So they joke. Wait until the next linux or PHP story. Then you'll get some content in the replies.

  25. Wordpad for LF docs on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 1

    I think it's not in the path, however. Oh, and also edit! It barfs on the 64-bit version though.
