    car's voice-control communications system and reads aloud cell-phone text messages and has 20 preset text-message responses... The flash memory-based system, controlled through voice commands and buttons on the steering wheel, is based on a Microsoft Corp. operating system for cars."

    Read text messages? I cant wait till cars have accident prediction. DANGER! IMPACT! 3:00! Of course the ultimate would be a car that can drive you home after youve had too much to drink.

    I thought the background gamma radiation was from the big bang and thus older than the galaxies?

  7. 12.5? on Major Broadcasters Hit With $12M Payola Fine · · Score: 4, Insightful

    $12.5 million and provide 8,400 half-hour segments of free airtime for independent record labels and local artists

    A paltry $12.5? Isnt it great when a company gets fined less than it probably made by committing the offense. Its called a cost benefit analysis, basically if crime pays they commit the crime. 4,200 hours of independent/local music sounds good though. I wonder who gets to pick who gets the time.

  8. Freedom horrible freedom on IBM Many Eyes After One Month · · Score: -1, Troll

    Isnt this hive mind stuff great? Are you a drone, or a queen?

  9. suspension of stupidity on 9 Laws of Physics That Don't Apply in Hollywood · · Score: 1

    It's just when they cheat with special effects that people seem to forget how the world really works

    Some people, for me it kind of ruins the movie, especially when its real obvious. Its ok for Sci Fi like the Matrix at least its explained. Has anyone seen Transporter 2? Its almost a comedy.

    yeah. . . and the next $1 per person should be the same way. . . no debate. . . . and the next time, and the next time, and the next time. . . . give an inch. . .

    Ok, theyre shouldnt be much of a debate. We have been deficit spending for most of my life. Whats $300 million.

  11. $1 on NASA Can't Pay for Killer Asteroid Hunt · · Score: 3, Informative

    A cheaper option would be to simply piggyback on other agencies' telescopes, a cost of about $300 million, also rejected

    Thats $1 per American. There shouldnt even be a debate.

  12. teacup calling the teapot fat on Microsoft Attacks Google on Copyright · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Companies that create no content of their own, and make money solely on the backs of other people's content, are raking in billions through advertising revenue and I.P.O.s," said Mr. Rubin, who oversees copyright and trade-secret law.

    Is either buying out your competitors or putting them out of business "creating content"?

  13. They way things are going its going to be illegal to delete emails ever. 1000 years from now people will be reading our emails full of bad jokes, pictures of kittens, and viagra spam.

  14. Re:my two cents on Demystifying Salary Information · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm an idiot. I had a domain name that someone asked me if I'd sell. I never got around to putting up the site that I had planned to, so I just gave it away. (drunkreport.com :) Then again, the guy actually put up a site and keeps it updated, so I guess he put a lot more into it, than I did just by thinking of the name first.

    Well if you have anymore domains youd like to give away Ill takem. No, no dont thank me.

  18. Re:Is it? on Copyright Law Used to Shut Down Site · · Score: 2, Informative

    From wikipedia: The Supreme Court of the United States stated that parody "is the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works."

    Sounds like you could use layout, and graphics to me. Ive been thinking of starting a parody website. I thought I would be invincible legally here in the US.

    I find Australia is a lot less repressive than the USIt is? You cant even own guns.

    Guess I wasnt expecting a hobby laptop. Its cool and everything. Perhaps the most impressive is this guy wrote his own programming language to go along with it. I just thought it was a little impractical. I dont know why everyones so sensitive.

    Well at least parody is still legal in the US. Is anyone else surprised how repressive Australia and the UK can be?

    When we all talk about "building" desktops from parts off newegg I'm a little bit reminded of "writing" games by hacking a few lines into some TAs code in an indroductory CS class. While a great many slashdotters understand what their computer is doing, this sort of thing indicates a much deeper understanding than "I need a motherboard, a processor, some RAM, and a videocard."What are you talking about? Ive got a clean room, photolithography, etching, cleaning, doping and dicing machines in basement. You insensitive clod!
