  1. Anyone know on USAF Launch Supersonic Bomb Firing Technology · · Score: 1

    Can powered munitions (stuff with a rocket motivating it instead of just gravity) be fired without this new technology? ie. Is the new research just applicable to iron bombs?

  2. What would be very useful on Hands-On With The Kindle · · Score: 1

    Reference books in ebook form can be grepped through. So much more useful than paper versions of book.
    That is the main draw to doing it on a computer. But if it is so expensive, why not just spend some more and get a laptop?

  3. Ok. So? on iPhone Signal Strength Problems In the UK · · Score: 1, Interesting

    A company (don't know which one) has made / is serving a product that has some problems. These problems should be fixed soon, if the company (companies) knows what's good for it (them). In the meantime, nothing too terrible has happened as a result. This is newsworthy why?

  4. It writes traffic tickets? on Houston Police Test Unmanned Surveillance Aircraft · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't know transformers existed.

  5. should be an easy job. on Inside A Korean Rehab Camp For Web Addiction · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The camps job should be pretty easy. Just provide the internet addicts with girlfriends. I'm completely serious here.

  6. Re:Morale booster? on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 1

    I am not John Carmack, but I have played his video-games. :)

  7. Re:Morale booster? on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, the people at NASA could easily be outdone at their own job by a crowd of slashdot reading armchair-rocket-scientists, right?

  8. Oh yeah on Can Google Kill PowerPoint? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Google is going to "fucking kill powerpoint."

  9. Re:I don't get it on Leopard Already Hacked To Run On PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    No, they're just interested in penetration, as it were.

  10. Re:Significantly different? on NASA Offering $2 Million Prize for Lunar Lander · · Score: 1

    pfft, just multiply every occurence of g by 1/6. Also set every air resistance constant to 0.

    I keed, I keed.

  11. Re:a 40-page proof for a "simple machine"? on Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine Is Universal! · · Score: 1

    You take a simple machine, prove that it does what is needed, etc. etc. and for more complex machines you say it is equivalent to the simple case. Rest assured that a complex machine would take far more effort to write proofs for (far more cases to consider, etc). than just 40 pages. Being thorough and correct is worth the low price of 40 pages. Or the dude could have written real small if that makes you happy.

  12. Re:Leisure Suit Larry on Court Strikes Down Age Verification For Adult Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hello, double entendre.

  13. Well... on Computer Software to Predict the Unpredictable · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't see that one coming.

  14. Re:How stupid... on Geek and Gadgets Set Cross-US Speed Record · · Score: 5, Informative

    Alex Roy is essentially the man behind Team Polizei: http://www.teampolizei.com/ Does Gumball rallies and such. This sort of thing isn't new to him. And no matter what, his M5 kicks some serious ass.

  15. For the Ladies on Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Charity Auction for the EFF · · Score: 1

    You guys could auction off a date with Cowboy Neal.
    DISCLAIMER: I am male.

  16. Re:I am going to take a guess on Rocket-Powered 21-Foot Long X-Wing Actually Flies · · Score: 1

    oh woops, I responded to the wrong poster. Sorry, parent poster!

  17. Re:I am going to take a guess on Rocket-Powered 21-Foot Long X-Wing Actually Flies · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With all due respect, Anonymous Coward, fuck off. People without hobbies eventually will go insane.

  18. Re:In Soviet Russia ... on 50 Years Ago, Sputnik Was an Improvised Triumph · · Score: 1

    May I? In Soviet Russia, Sputnik launches US Space Program!

  19. oh boy on IBM Seeks US Patents For Offshoring US Jobs · · Score: 1

    for a second, I thought they were patenting offshoring/outsourcing. Now that would have been wacky...

  20. Re:This is very bad... on Ohio Net Censorship Law Struck Down · · Score: 1

    Why you think the net was born? Porn, porn, porn!

  21. Re:What's a "mashup"? on Intel Releases Mashups for the Masses · · Score: 1

    Not just trying, boyo.

  22. Re:What's a "mashup"? on Intel Releases Mashups for the Masses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Web technology flexibility amazes me. Now we can boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew...etc.

  23. Re:Makes me wonder... on Lair Review · · Score: 1

    I own a PS3. Here's what I think: Motion control in the 6Axis controller is an unnecessary tacked on gimmick that was added because Nintendo was doing it. Or that is the way it seems. In Call of Duty 3, for example, the only place it is used (and is, alas, necessary) is in scripted events - not core gameplay. I just use the analogs whenever I can instead. They are...better. Now the PS3 is a great system, because it has powerful hardware. Like any system, its success will be determined by the games coming out for it. The 6Axis neither adds nor detracts from it. (Unless developers do something retarded like using it).

  24. Heard at testing on Headband Gives Wearer "Sixth-Sense" · · Score: 1

    Kurosaki: Hey, this headband doesn't do shit! Urahara: Wow, I can't believe you actually put it on

  25. Yeah, the cops can have this on Journalist Test Drives The Pain Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    But only if every citizen is allowed to carry an automatic rifle.
