  1. Could it be? on United States Navy Names Ship After Neil Armstrong · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Quatrain 62: Nostradamus Mabus will soon die, then will come, A horrible undoing of people and animals, At once one will see vengeance, One hundred powers, thirst, famine, when the comet will pass. I know I'll get modded down, or flamed, but what the hell.

  2. Defunding Science on Astronomy Portfolio Review Recommends Defunding US's Biggest Telescope · · Score: 1

    God forbid our kids might learn some real science, lets just send them to Sunday school instead.

  3. Re:And it will go down if you get rid of Obama on Electronic Surveillance By US Law Enforcement Agencies Rising Steeply · · Score: 5, Informative

    Obama is just the idiot puppet on stage. It's the ones behind the curtain controlling things.

  4. Re:Wow on AMD Trinity APUs Stack Up Well To Intel's Core 3 · · Score: 1

    ATI Stream says "Pfft"

  5. Re:Wow on AMD Trinity APUs Stack Up Well To Intel's Core 3 · · Score: 0

    Yea, Intel costs 50% more for 5% performance increase. Thanks, but I'll go with AMD.

  6. FreeBSD on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    I used to do tech support for a local ISP, and everything was BSD. I purchased a book on FreeBSD along with the CD's and starting learning the basics. After that, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Ubuntu.

  7. Re:Old School: Mandrake! on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    Yea Mandrake was my favorite back in the day, Much easier to adopt than Red Hat.

  8. Re:Reduction of Carbon Footprint on Google Captures 'Street View' of Underwater Habitats · · Score: 1

    Like the movie Soylent Green. Google is saving all these footage's for the day you decide to end your life. Then you can watch how the world once was on a big screen, as they slowly put you down.

  9. Re:Not so good on Google Captures 'Street View' of Underwater Habitats · · Score: 1

    Soon the only way to see these coral reefs will be through Google. Enjoy now before its gone.

  10. Re:What I don't understand is on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    Unless new galaxies are forming at the edge of our universe, then we couldn't see them because their light hasn't reached us yet. In that case, our universe maybe much large than we realize.

  11. Re:What I don't understand is on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    Still makes no sense. The universe has been expanding all this time, and I'm sure there wasn't as many Galaxies in our young universe, yet why do we see so many?

  12. Re:Hard to imagine the vastness on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    I suspect it's a serial multiverse. If time always existed, then our universe may have continued to expand infinitely in size.

  13. Re:Hard to imagine the vastness on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    And just think, our universe maybe vastly smaller in comparison. To me, it only seems logical that we must live in a multiverse, because how could Time itself start 14.6 Billion years ago?

  14. What I don't understand is on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    If our universe is 14.5 Billion years old, and these galaxies we see are about 13 Billion light years away, shouldn't they be spread out much further apart? I would expect to only see a few galaxies in this picture.

  15. Re:Manufacturer's Android on Samsung Smartphones Vulnerable To Remote Wipe Hack · · Score: 0

    Is that also the reason why 99% of the world still use a PC, and not a MAC?

  16. That's what backups are for on Samsung Smartphones Vulnerable To Remote Wipe Hack · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You're more likely to drop the phone in the toilet then getting hacked. Besides, I'm sure Samsung will release a patch soon, so no need to run to the Apple store!

  17. Re:CFL's aren't all they're cracked up to be on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    A means of replacing the tube only when it burns out, so the most complex and least homogeneous part of the bulb, (the base with its electronic circuitry), can be re-used numerous times.

    You can still buy the long florescent light fixtures which don't require you replace any of the electronics. As for the screw on type, the issue is size. These CFL need to be as small as possible to fit most fixtures.

  18. No more "Easy Oven Bakes" for kids on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Think of all the children who can't find a replacement bulb!

  19. Comodo on Ask Slashdot: Actual Best-in-Show For Free Anti Virus? · · Score: 1

    Another free AV + Firewall Protection. It's more of a resource hog than MSE, but it really locks down the PC.

  20. Re:Simple on Ask Slashdot: Actual Best-in-Show For Free Anti Virus? · · Score: 1

    No Adware/Spyware Bullshit, gotta love that. Microsoft finally did something right for once, but for extra protection, I would also get Malwarebytes.

  21. Re:Something Apple will be good at, I'm sure! on Book Review: Digital Forensics For Handheld Devices · · Score: 1

    Considering the popularity of the iPhone, I'm sure forensics will have no problem retrieving you data, no matter how many times you try to wipe it.

  22. Something Apple will be good at, I'm sure! on Book Review: Digital Forensics For Handheld Devices · · Score: 1

    Since the iPhone is locked down so much, and all you all data is backed up to their cloud. What have you got to worry about?

  23. The world would be better off without cows! on Sweet Times For Cows As Gummy Worms Replace Corn Feed · · Score: 1

    Considering how much feed they consume, methane they produce, and land they require. Why do we still keep them around? Is it purely for taste?

  24. It was Steve Jobs Idea First on Shuttleworth: Trust Us, We're Trying to Make Shopping Better · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/04/26/1740234/steve-jobs-idea-for-an-ad-supported-os , but I'm sure Apple has found a way to use subliminal messages instead, considering how many people are buying new iPhones.

  25. Re:Seriously, what can we do? on Rapid Arctic Melt Called 'Planetary Emergency' · · Score: 1

    Mirrors in space will reflect sunlight to keep the planet in balance. Man controlled climate.
