  1. How to feed it ? on Enter The 2160p HDTV · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What can one use to feed this beast ? Where to find very-very-HD contents ? (And what about the huge bandwidth and the huge storage needed ?).

  2. It's already too late ? on Detection of Earth-like Civilizations in Space Now Possible · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can't detect "Earth-like radio signals from 30-light-years-away stars" anymore. Because of the 1979 song "Video Killed the Radio Star" from the Buggles (see
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Killed_the_Radi o_Star for more information).
    So now we should check for video signals from these stars ! ;)

  3. Bill Gates ? on Sealand Put Up For Sale · · Score: 0

    He should buy it. Not very expensive for him.

  4. VoIP-Spam is another threat on Voice Over IP Under Threat? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Spams in my inbox is painfull. Spams using VoIP will be very very painfull.
    VoIP will be cheap enough for spammers, and easy to handle by spamrobots...

  5. G.W. Bush comment on Researchers Create Selfish BitTorrent Client · · Score: -1, Troll

    "Hang this tyrant too !". ;)

  6. Mesothelmia ? on The Debate Over Advertising on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Will we see a huge number of articles about "mesothelmia" and such high-paying-keywords ?? I hope not.

  7. Nothing to iSight here... on Apple Closes iSight Security Hole · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...move along. ;)

  8. No fear ! on Copyright Tool Scans Web For Violations · · Score: 1

    There's no copyrighted pirated things on my computer, so I don't fear th+++$£%+ NO CARRIER

  9. Virtual Reality, where are you ? on The Future Playground · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I remember when Sega showed to everyone the "Sega Virtual Reality Helmet for Sega Genesis". The poor machine was unable to perform good 3D rendering at all (see games like Hard Drivin'), but Sega vaporwared everyone by telling it was possible to render two smooth 3D pictures in real time. The helmet never came.

    Then there were Helmets for PC computers. Playing "Heretic 1" or "Descent 1" with them was possible, but the machines were not powerful enough to enjoy the games (because there were no 3D cards yet).

    Years later (today !), PC machines with more-than-powerful 3D cards are here, but the Helmets for Everyone are not here. Why ? Machines are powerful, 3D cards are powerful, LCD screens are cheap, so why no Helmets for Everyone ?

  10. Long term strategy. on Zune Sales Continue to Weaken · · Score: 3, Insightful

    MS always had a long term strategy. Just wait until it gets better.
    See Internet Explorer. Now v7. First versions were bad.
    See DirectX. From v0 (WinG) to v10. First versions were bad.
    Wait for Zune 2, 3, 4... Today, it sucks, but in a few years, it will be OK.

  11. F5, F5, F5, F5... on Is Internet Addiction a Medical Condition? · · Score: 0

    I don't want to read about this so-called "Internet Addiction".
    F5, F5, F5, F5...
    That's not stuff that matters.
    F5, F5, F5, F5...
    I want another Slashdot history, NOW !
    F5, F5, F5, F5...
    Now, please !
    F5, F5, F5, F5...

  12. So, Debian users can't... on MySQL Quietly Drops Support For Debian Linux [UPDATED] · · Score: 0

    So, Debian users can't COUNT() on MySql because they DROP support...
    SQL can be funny.

  13. Re:gecko 1.9 on Firefox 3 In Alpha · · Score: 0

    Old computers can run Linux. So they can run FireFox 3.

  14. There is a patch for IE7 available today. on Patch Tuesday — IE7 Clean · · Score: 1, Informative

    12/12/2006: Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB928089).
    This update resolves a performance issue with the Phishing Filter.

  15. Other test to perform. on 'Leak' Test of 21 Personal Firewalls · · Score: 1, Funny

    Leak tests are not enough.
    Another test to perform: just browse some adult oriented sites. That's the so-called "lick test". If your firewall licks, then it sucks ! ;)

  16. Just because of the Zune ? on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 0

    Now comes the times of the Zune; what a success !
    iPod and iTunes will be soon dead.
    Microsoft rulez !
    (Errr ? Ooops. Sorry).

  17. You are here -- on Map of the Internet · · Score: 1, Funny

    --> 127.0.0.1

    ...Bob v2.0 for Vista !!
    We miss Bob !
    Please, Melinda, think about it ! ;)

  19. Speed of the car ? on Malaysia to Use RFID Number Plates Next Year · · Score: 0

    Can you read the RFID of a high speed running car ? Can you use the RFID to catch drivers running too fast ?
    ie: can you install RFID readers on the highway ? Or they only work for stopped cars ?

  20. BROD ? on No Love For The Blu-Ray · · Score: 5, Funny

    BluRay is dead. We hate it. So Sony's marketing division must do something.
    My idea: Sony must change the technology's name to something funny like "BROD: Blu-Ray Of Death" ;)

  21. John Lennon... on Dead Musicians Signing Media Rights Petitions · · Score: 0

    ...phoned me yesterday to speak about this ! "Imagine there's no limit to copyright", he said. "So, sign the petition", I replied. I hope he will follow my advice. ;)

  22. USA need future soldiers ! on Army's Cut of 'Future Soldier' May Impact Med-Tech · · Score: -1, Redundant

    They must go to Iran, then to North Korea, then to Irak, then to Afghanistan, etc... They need a lot of super warriors to succeed...
    (Or perhaps they should instead hire Dolph Lungren, Jean-Claude Vandamme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone, etc; one of these guys alone can kill thousands of ennemies !).

  23. Is there a way to... on RV Processes Own Fuel on Cross-Country Trip · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...input garbage directly into my browser, and have it turned directly into a "+5 insightful" comment ? So funny comment like this one... err... oops.. No way ? Sorry. ;)

  24. Sony reshuffling the cards on What the Sony Reshuffling Actually Means · · Score: -1, Troll

    My guess: Sony's employees prefer playing cards than playing with the PS3. More fun with poker than with the few games out for the PS3, for sure.

  25. Is it possible to zoom enough to... on Seeing the Earth Almost Live · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...see naked people ?
    (If not, this thing is not useful at all).
