  1. Emo AI software. What could possibly go wrong? on Researcher Builds Machines That Daydream · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Haven't these fools seen Blade Runner?

  2. Re:Obvious way to prove damages on Countering a DMCA Takedown In the Magnet Wars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think actually the *AA takes your a) and multiplies that number by about 600 then uses the result to determine damages.

  3. Re:Other users have now mirrored it on Countering a DMCA Takedown In the Magnet Wars · · Score: 2, Informative

    video == hilarious :)

  4. My nuts are secure! on The Effect of Snake Oil Security · · Score: 1

    Suck it, squirrels! You can not have them!

  5. Re:So what killed the kid? on Ancient Nubians Drank Antibiotic-Laced Beer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Drunk driving.

  6. Re:Japan's primary export on Resort Attracts Men With Virtual Girlfriends · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... not in Hollywood.

  7. Good Question! on Microsoft Claims 'We Love Open Source' · · Score: 1

    Well, they could just try to make a product so superior that nobody in their right mind would consider an alternative.

  8. Re:You're suggesting thoughts are property? on Terry Childs Denied Motion For Retrial · · Score: 1

    Do they shoot you?

    Only if they can find you.

  9. Re:"He was not permitted to make a phone call" on Tor Developer Detained At US Border, Pressed On Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    And how would you make a phone call... if you have no phones, Mr. Anderson?

  10. Fuck Valve, but I love Left For Dead 1 on Valve Apologizes For 12,000 Erroneous Anti-Cheating Bans · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that L4D1 might stop mysteriously disconnecting me under wine?

  11. Re:Sounds cool, but... on World's First Molten-Salt Solar Plant Opens · · Score: 1

    I would presume it works by making use of some amount of waste energy the solar panels themselves cannot fully absorb during the day.

  12. Re:More Cores, More Power on 4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? · · Score: 1

    Come on, it IS Slashdot, after all.

  13. Re:Go Costner! Boo on BP! on IEEE Looks At Kevin Costner's Oil Cleanup Machines · · Score: 1

    Well the problem with tanking it ashore instead in this case is the sheer volume we're dealing with. Tanking this much mostly-seawater-oil-mousse ashore will work much more poorly economically than even using these centrifuges in a suboptimal working environment, or having to find a way to adjust them to work better with sub-optimal source material.

  14. Re:Go Costner! Boo on BP! on IEEE Looks At Kevin Costner's Oil Cleanup Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yea, dispersants were a bad idea since the ultimate plan was to get all that lost oil back. Raise your hand if you saw that one coming.

  15. Great, how long till we can strip mine them? on WISE Discovers 95 New Near-Earth Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Certainly it's plausible that the accumulated mass of the these objects is of such huge proportion that (depending on composition) their raw materials would make them valuable enough to warrant actually collecting, no? To say nothing of the possible safety concerns of just leaving them there.

  16. "Pebble bed" reactor? on Nuclear Power Could See a Revival · · Score: 4, Informative

    I thought I saw this supposedly quite safe "Pebble Bed" small-scale reactor design reported on then linked to by Slashdot some time ago, but I don't see it mentioned in the article. I am not having luck finding it in the Slashdot search either. Did I dream that? One of the important features of it was that it was "walk-away safe" - as in, were the cooling system to catastrophically fail, it could not achieve "meltdown." In fact, it could be safely repaired and re-started with very little material damage whatsoever.

  17. Re:Microsoft also release MFC and the CRT library. on SugarCRM 6 Released, But Is It Open Source? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, Microsoft will certainly insist so. As with this SugarCRM crap though I and many others will disagree.

  18. Whew! on Infants Ingest 77 Times the Safe Level of Dioxin · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thank God it's not in the liquor.

  19. Re:Let us take care of it on Retrieving a Stolen Laptop By IP Address Alone? · · Score: 1

    Right, just make sure you don't deliver said ass-beating to some poor naive kid who didn't realize (even if he should have) he was buying a stolen laptop.

  20. Two words: on Retrieving a Stolen Laptop By IP Address Alone? · · Score: 1

  21. Re:At the risk of being labelled flamebait. on China Says US Uses Facebook To Spread Political Unrest · · Score: 1

    Yea, but the SUICIDE rate amongst females in China is the highest in the world.

  22. Re:Oh really? on China Says US Uses Facebook To Spread Political Unrest · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Clearly they have yet to realize that political unrest spreads itself. Facebook just makes it faster.

  23. Re:You didn't look hard enough. on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Well, sorry then. Perhaps it's worth noting that I also have a hand-made game port controller for MAME purposes.

  24. You didn't look hard enough. on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    If this doesn't work for you then I recommend that you hunt down a USB version of any Thrustmaster controller, such as the Thrustmaster Firestorm.

  25. Somehow I always knew... on Study Hints Ambient Radio Waves May Affect Plant Growth · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... that one day AM radio would be the death of us all.
