  1. Re:Girls on Bionic-Eyed Man Wants To Stream Eye Video Online · · Score: 1
    he's been using his bionic eye to make up for other shortcomings ... the date ends badly

    This is why we need real-time CG(I)...

  2. Re:Ads on The Apple Broadcast Network · · Score: 1

    SO -paid content with product placement, but benefiting me. Sign me up.

    Ha! Are you a ginger?

  5. Re:Good article on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    "Anecdotal only, but I can smell something in the air when one of these devices is around me." There are various flavors that can leave a residual smell i.e., vanilla, cherry, etc. (I just received my Blu ecigs this week to quit smoking (seems to be working), so screw them).

  6. Re:West coast scorched? on NASA Launches Giant Magnifying Glass Into Space · · Score: 1

    No way this is real! It just doesn't seem plausible! call the Mythbusters!

  7. Re:Flame jacket on on Details Emerge On Futurama's "Rebirth" (and Return) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So, if someone had a brain slug & then faced Hypnotoad, what would happen?

  8. Re:Not the first time on The Beaver Magazine Changes Name Because of Filters · · Score: 1

    As a student at Oregon State (mid-80's), I always had to chuckle when I received letters from admissions, etc. that began, "Hello, Beaver!". I don't think they have a problem with filtering of their web presence, last time I checked.

  9. Re:My psychic prediction on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    "Not sure what the passage you mention would be referring to, but I doubt that it is a dinosaur... "

    Unless they found a dinosaur skeleton, looked at the fossilized remains and said: "Hey, this is interesting, we should write about this.".

  10. At the beginning of the first BTTF, Doc had a replica of the old clock tower with a figurine hanging from one of the hands. I had always assumed that Doc had already been to the past/future, & simply feigned ignorance to Marty; therefore, he wasn't too concerned about being shot in the head/legs/groin, the "first" time around.

  11. Re:But... on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ... or only have it come on, when a sensor(s) actually detect a human/animal nearby (visually, thermally etc.).

  12. Re:Trying not to sound condescending... on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 1

    What was that, that Martin Prince said about Bradbury...?

  13. Re:Why does NASA suck so much? on NASA Moon Launch May Be Delayed After 2020 · · Score: 1

    I read GP as meaning that we would have expected delta- and scissor- wing SST's, VTOL saucery thingies, etc. by the 21st century.

  14. Re:Now we need a robotic shark.... on Robotic Penguins · · Score: 1

    Still, one of, if not the most graceful robots I have ever seen in operation (the He floaters); and one of the few youtube videos I'd want to watch a second time, and probably will!

  15. Re:Rewards on YouTube Symphony Orchestra Set To Debut At Carnegie Hall · · Score: 2, Funny

    The reason may have been shallow - but it was Brahms, and somewhere, Spock is smiling.

  16. Re:28mph over 280 miles is not good... on Tesla Roadster Runs For 241 Miles In E-Rally · · Score: 1

    Here is one example.

  17. Re:28mph over 280 miles is not good... on Tesla Roadster Runs For 241 Miles In E-Rally · · Score: 1

    Ha - there is a small trailer available for the Tesla, which houses a gas-electric generator (think motorcycle trailer sized).

  18. Re:Better than mplayer? on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1
    And with VLC, you don't have to hunt for CODECs like you do with WMPlayer.

    That's one of the reasons I also use MediaCoder, in addition to VLC (I also prefer to transcode in MC, + nicer UI).

  19. Re:Hiesenberg says.... on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    Or use the Quantum Zeno effect, & just have a bunch of redshirts stare at the engines.

  20. Re:What about 1996 and earlier? on Internet Archive Gets 4.5PB Data Center Upgrade · · Score: 1
    "So it IS possible to slashdot slashdot."

    Yes but only in the past, in which case measures would be taken to block future people-but then we wouldn't do it, in which case no measures would be taken to block future people and then we would do it, and measures would be taken to block future people, and then...and then

  21. Re:What about 1996 and earlier? on Internet Archive Gets 4.5PB Data Center Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Oops. '93-'96 - apparently in my universe, '98 is before '93.

  22. Re:What about 1996 and earlier? on Internet Archive Gets 4.5PB Data Center Upgrade · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yes, "The Wayback Machine", at archive.org. Coincidentally, I was there just last night, looking at a January '98 Slashdot.

  23. Re:Naming things, publicity, and financing on Fermilab Discovers Untheorized Particle · · Score: 3, Funny

    You Federation types are so smug.

  24. Re:2012 on Tickets On Sale In Sweden For Space Tourism, Starting In 2012 · · Score: 1
    "All that proves is you have space websites in Sweden. C'mon we're not THAT gullible!"

    Oh yeah?

    "The multimillionaire ex-wife of a Swedish tycoon has lost a large part of her fortune to a phony clairvoyant in exchange for a bottle of "holy water" and some pigeon feathers."

    Oh come on-as an AmeriSwede, I know you Swedes can do better than that! Calling Penn & Teller, you're needed overseas.

  25. Re:Where have I seen this before? on What Does a $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    Harumph! Everyone knows that Ewoks are baby Chewbaccas! Live long and prosper, dude.
