    And you live where, Exactly? For, uh, informational purposes, of course.

  2. Re:Repeat afer me: on House Approves Warrantless Wiretapping Extension · · Score: 1

    There was a Slashdot article on this earlier in the year:

    And a quick Google search for good measure:

  3. Re:Kvetch... on ESRB Responds to 3D Realms' Kvetching · · Score: 4, Informative

    I know you were just kidding, but Kvetching is actually a Yiddish word meaning complaining, or whining.

    No. The radiation would keep coming at us for ~20,000 years.

    lol! Nice addition!

  6. Re:waytoomanycommas on China's Open Document Format Fight · · Score: 5, Funny

    That was, at the very most, a half assed at humor. There are, in fact, ways to add, not only too many commas, but enough to make, say, your head, or mine, explode upon reading the sentence, phrase, etc.

    Not only that, but you can, unbelievably, even use lots of commas, while maintaining mostly, although maybe not entirely, correct punctuation.

    You just took away two and a half minutes of my life that I will never get back.

  8. Re:Dot Matrix? on Reboot To Get A Reboot · · Score: 1

    No, That's utterly ridiculous. Although, I don't know; Having three boobs might be udderly ridiculous, as well!

  9. It Works on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, as of this post, the ftp server can still be accessed with the same username and password from the script.

  10. Re:Lipo? on Harvesting Energy from the Human Body · · Score: 1

    Not really. The conversion of Food > Sugar > Fat, etc. in the body is very inefficient. It would be much more efficient to just get it from the source in the first place.

  11. Re:Where is it Coming From? on Harvesting Energy from the Human Body · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You seem to feel very confident in saying that, However that's exactly what I'm wondering: Is is negligible? Really?

    I just think we should be sure about it first.

  12. Where is it Coming From? on Harvesting Energy from the Human Body · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In the end, this isn't just harvesting unused energy; There's no such thing. It has to come from somewhere. In this case, doesn't it come from the energy the heart is exerting to pump blood? Is it possible that this could have some long term side effects, due to slightly more stress on the heart?

  14. Re:IE4 Anyone? on New Linux Desktop Environment Built on Firefox · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Look; the only reason they made this is because a lot of people thought it would be a good idea. Now some of the same people are shooting it down? I don't get it. I guess I must be new here, or something.

  15. Re:Hackers dream? on Retailers Leak New TiVo HD Specs and Price · · Score: 2, Funny

    They didn't say a hacker's dream, they said a TiVo hacker's dream.

    Don't they just flash those pens at you, like in the Men In Black?

  17. Re:speculative and pointless on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 1

  19. Look! on 6 Months On, Vista Security Still Besting Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Look, Everybody! A company is trying to use statistics to make themselves look good, when that's not necessarily the case!

    Nothing to see here, please move along...

  20. Eventually on Brain/Machine Interfaces Approaching Usefulness · · Score: 1

    Eventually, we should be able to completely cure paralization. It's just a matter of taking the correct brain waves to the correct muscles, which is what's actually be severed. I have an uncle who is paralyzed, and I think he may even have a shot at, someday, using his legs again.

    This is good news, and I look forward to further developments.

    "Only if it can also read our moods. How would it know if I am in the mood to read a book (good light source) or to watch TV (dimmer)?"

    We already have basic mind reading devices, what makes you think these technologies won't advance? After all, brain waves are really just electric impulses, and once we figure out how to decode them, electric impulses could (very likely) be read with extreme accuracy.

  24. If...When on Robotic Ecologies · · Score: 1

    "Maybe one day, we'll talk to our homes and they'll answer."

    The question isn't if, it's when.
