  1. Re:10 baskets on Underfunded NSA Suffers Brownouts · · Score: 0

    In a nuclear conflict, I don't think the concern would be about saboteurs as much as it would be about your enemy's First Strike capability. I'd imagine that it is signficantly easier to destroy 5 nuke silos than 500.

  2. Re:USA is a war country on Google May Close Gmail Germany Over Privacy Law · · Score: 0

    I'm confused. How is parent a troll, but GP insightful? I'd have modded them the other way around (or maybe off topic for GP)

  3. Re:why a blow to RIAA? on Judge Deals Blow to RIAA · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure a win for fairer usage of the legal system is a blow to the RIAA.

  4. Re:Maybe he should hire a lawyer on Student Blogger Loses Defamation Case · · Score: 0

    Careful, you might get sued for libel.

  5. Re:Forget smart cars... on Smart Car Coming To the US In Jan. 2008 · · Score: 0

    That's absurd. Plus, it's definitely not true -- It was debunked by...

  6. Re:Huh? on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 0

    How about something like: 1 kg = the mass with the same internal energy as a photon with a frequency of c^2/h J*m^2/s.

  7. Re:"remove tag" on Photo Tagging as a Privacy Problem? · · Score: 0
    How does that help me to get my tag removed from your photos, assuming you don't want to?

    The "remove tag" link appears for the person tagged in the photo as well as the person who tagged it.

  8. Re:It may sound quaint... on University of Ohio Abandons Students Attacked by RIAA · · Score: 5, Funny
    And I'm willing to bet that 99% of the [homosexuals] did it because they wanted [to have homosexual sex], not because they somehow believed they were sticking it to the man.

    I didn't realize there was a difference... >.>

  9. Re:Where Is the US Government Politics??!! on Private File Sharing To Remain/Become legal In EU · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure if it was moved or something, but this is pretty clearly NOT in politics.slashdot.org

  10. Re:Same.. on Internet Curfew for College Students? · · Score: 0

    I'd believe that internet in dorms would be covered by the money we pay for well, the dorms, and not tuition. And last I checked, at least at my school, in-state students pay the same amount for room and board as the out of state students. That would imply that the taxpayers do NOT pay for our rooms. And, even if they do, doesn't paying $900-$1000 a month to live in one room with two other guys cover a $40 a month line?

  11. Such a shame... on World's Densest Memory Cells Created · · Score: 0

    They spent all that time and effort on it and they were beaten by a day.

    By people from the same institutes too!

  12. You can still use iTMS in Norway. on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 0

    The summary would have one believe that, effective immediately, iTMS is unusable in Norway. What really happened was that Norway declared iTMS illegal and told them to fix if by October 1 or they'd face fine or have iTMS shut down in Norway.

    People in Norway can still use the music store. This isn't Norway preventing the user from doing anything, but rather Norway threatening action against Apple if they don't open up Fairplay to other players.

  13. Re:Narrow Sample Set? on Nobel Prize Winners Live Longer · · Score: 0

    They need to do a better study. Just give half the group real Nobel prizes and the other half placebo Nobels. Then wait for them all to die. Should be simple enough.
