  1. Duplicate on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 0

    Slashdot had a similar story about this some months ago. It also seems that people have difficulties with learning that powerpoint is bad for learning from articles thar say that powerpoint is bad for learning. What is it with powerpoint ? :)

  2. Oh! on Sweden to Make Denial of Service Attacks Illegal · · Score: 0

    By the way... here is the link to the Swedish police: http://www.polisen.se/

  3. 10 milliherz ... on Earth's Constant Hum Explained · · Score: 0

    ... that's just 2 milliHerz above the Brown Noise. Thank the lord for that.

  4. The ping of death on VeriSign Puts Flaw Bounty on Vista and IE7 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I remember that win 95 had a flaw that allowed anyone to DoS the computer over the network.
    This was hilarious to use at the LAN parties.

    It would be good fun if someone found a similar flaw with vista and wrote a Linux client for it :)

  5. Patent violation on Joystick Port Patented, Now the Lawsuit · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just patented internet messagebords like this one. Mod me up or I will sue your asses.

  6. Databases on SQL Hacks · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Is anyone really interested in databases and SQL. This is boring. Jesus!

  7. Lameness filter on Wikipedia Used for Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Who needs AI for spam filters? Just use the lameness filter: if lameness(new_mail) > 94 { bounce(new_mail, bill.gates@microsoft.com); delete(new_mail); }

  8. Re:Why not? on Germany Quits EU-Based Search Engine Project · · Score: 1

    Because Chirac/Schröder/Merkel think it's a bad idea to just rely on one foreign search engine in a nation that staggers fastly into becoming a fascist rouge state ... *not* linking to google.com is the f***g point

    As if I would trust a german search engine.

    With KDE (also german) naming it will probably be named Koogle - no thanks!
  9. May I suggest on Water Cooling Computers With A Swimming Pool · · Score: 1

    The use of two separate water systems to avoid corrosion and condensation in your computer. Use a real water-cooling system and let its water be cooled down by pool water without blending the liquids. A long metal pipe sinked in incoming pool water will do. This , of course , only makes sense if you have lots of computers in a room so that the air circulation in the room isn't sufficient to cool the radiators belonging to the water cooling systems.

  10. Obligatory comment on Mars Rovers' Software Upgraded · · Score: 1

    Which OS does it run? Hope it isn't something from Redmond. If so - the upgrade must have been SP2. The NASA people were annyoed by popups and adware sending private stuff to strange people.

  11. Is anyone ... on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... actually going to use this? I think I'll wait for D++

  12. Who needs a polygraph anyway? on Scientist Organizes Resistance To Polygraphs · · Score: 1

    In the movies, the smart guys can always reveal a liar by looking if the subjects eyes are directed "up left" when he/she says something...
