    What about "I use Linux and therfore do not get to see any boobs." seems about right to me and with the added benifit of being true as well.

    Bah! REAL programmers dont need keyboards, mice or monitors. I wave a magnet rapidly over my hardrive to program it. Jeez you kids these days have it to easy.

    I'm so putting that on my blogz, lolz. Leave now and never return. Unless you were joking, my sarcasm meter is in for repairs
  4. Re:I guess I don't get... on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 0

    As long as the solar panel is black and energy that isn't turned into electricity goes towards heating up the panel, Are you maybe thinking of a solar sail? If the panel was white and pointed towards the sun you could get a tiny amount of thrust that way but I suspect at loss of efficency in generating power.

  5. Re:Or is it... on Kilogram Reference Losing Weight · · Score: 0
    Oh jeez... Must remember to proof read when taking Tylenol 3

    If it's the official reference weight then technically doesn't that mean it's the opposite and everything is weighing more kilos? (Not the usage of the word kilos rather then mass)

    If it's the official reference wait then technically that doesn't mean that its weighing less kilos everything else is weighing more kilos. (Not the usage of the word kilos rather then mass)

    Although initial setup costs of Nuclear generators might be much more expensive AFAIK the cost per MW of a nuclear generator is far lower then just about anything else available, if anybody has some numbers that says otherwise they're welcome to correct me. BTW How the hell did a discussion on parking in front of an Apple store turn into a discussion on power generation, this has got to be the most extreme slashdot non-sequitur I have ever seen.

    I beleive you meant not enough blood in your Coffee subsystem, It is important to maintain just the right amount to allow your brain to run at full capacity while still maintain a high level of caffeine.

  12. Re:Careful... on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1, Insightful

    On the contrary, he raises a very good point. NASA is sending up a priceless (at lest to many of people) artifact in a vehicle that has a history of well blowing up. Now granted this isn't the first time that they've done such things and it is still more then likely that it will survive it's just kind of funny to think that the lightsaber might be lost forever just because the damn shuttle blew up. (again)

  13. Re:Huh? on Valve Says Choice to Make DX10 Vista-Only Hurt PC Gaming · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And constructive comment of the day award goes too.....(drumroll) AC! again 5 years running AC has demonstrated that no matter how stupid and unhelpful you may be you can always manage to operate a computer and post to slashdot. Really man whoever you may be, why did you even bother? Did you really think that a comment like this would change anything? Do you feel that it adds to the conversation? Maybe you though that somebody would be swayed by your obvious wit and intelect? To borrow a line from one of my High School teachers. "Next time you feel like posting instead push the keyboard away and bang your head against the desk until the urge goes away."

    Ha! try getting it to run Cygwin and then using it to run Qemu to run Windows XP to VMware to run Linux. When you have completed that young grasshopper then your training is complete.

  16. Re:Yet another game on BioShock Installs a Rootkit · · Score: 0

    Whatever I figure manufactures are getting a bit too happy with tacking on various prefixes, suffixes and acronyms to model names. What happened to the good old days where things went 286, 386, 486, ... now these days looking at a product line up I have no idea whats new and what old, as it is half these things are infact trying to describe a cheap item with less capabilities while still trying to make it sound impressive.

    I personally quite like steam, I have a notorious habit of losing install CDs and there related CD keys and steam happily takes care of all of that. Furthermore these other programs that supposedly check and validate games usually do so by installing hidden drivers or disabling all SCSI drives which can cause far more damage then a system that just encrypts the files and wont let you at them unless you can provide it with a password which many people do to their hard drives anyways.

    As for data collection, the only data steam collects is the hardware installed and the games you've purchase which I am just fine with them having, I figure that the worst that could happen is that companies realize that not everyone has $1000 graphic cards in their system and the latest quad-core hyper nano zeon processor and therefore stop making games that rely solely on graphics to sell themselves. The same goes for the purcahse information, if it helps them make games that I'm more interested in I'm all for it.

    I think maybe we should send a machine to him so that he may play test to make sure that there are no harmful images of other media. I'm only thinking of the children of course, bless there little hearts.

    did HP even manage to get a hold of anybody phone records without permission? Sure maybe they pretended to be someone else but it looks like California made absolutely not attempt to verify these claims and just handed over the records, a pretty bad showing on their part if you ask me.

  23. Re:GoDaddy and the like? on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Wrong! We would still have massive IT infrastructures, it just would have happened slightly later at the hands of some other company. Perhaps Apple or maybe some other completely different company that didn't make it because Microsoft showed up. Just because one event in history does not happen doesn't mean that all subsequent events don't happen, almost always it just means that some other event will occur to fill its place and things will only change slightly.

  25. Re:camcorders and SRLs on European Commission To Raise Camera Costs in Europe · · Score: -1

    Good luck with smuggling any of those explosives on board a plane. They're all mixed with a taggant ( a chemical that makes it real easy to sniff out the explosive ) when they're manufactured. And any terrorist that even if they could get the equipment to make a proper plastic explosive themselves would maore then likely blow himeself up before he even had a finished product.
