  1. Re:Any audio from Mars? on Mars Lander Instrument Waving In the Martian Wind · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why is parent modded Trol?

    Being able to hear the wind blow on another world would be SO cool, even though probably rather useless.

  2. Re:Live? on Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online · · Score: 1

    usenet
    that's where I got the previous debates from

    they are also posted to youtube by cspan

  3. Re:Great ... err ... on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Is Officially Here · · Score: 1

    Or is this like when I used GEOSwrite, and nobody could read the file, except another Commodore 64 user?

    Peter Griffin, is that you??

  4. Re:Microsoft catching the attention of hackers? on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 4, Funny

    where is the +1 disturbing moderation??

  5. Re:Further Research on Safe Stem Cells Produced From Adult Cells · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I look forward to being able to rely on that in the future.

    You're planning on becoming an alcoholic and destroying your liver?!

  6. Re:As a Marine on Homeland Security Department Testing "Pre-Crime" Detector · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uhm, he could have been serving coffee for senior officers his entire tour of duty, what do you know...

    Or does assisting "murderers" make one a murderer as well? By that definition I think all of us are murderers.

  7. Re:sensors... on Homeland Security Department Testing "Pre-Crime" Detector · · Score: 1

    Gods? Islam (implied in discussion) worships the same god as Christianity. One god.

    Unless we're talking about non-Muslim terrorists.

  8. Re:'cause everyone knows on YouTube Bans Gun and Knife Videos In the UK · · Score: 1

    is this one of those pre-emptive reversals i've been hearing so much about lately?

  9. who is it on Stephen Hawking Unveils "Time Eater" Clock · · Score: 3, Informative

    Steven Hawking? or Stephen Hawking??? I've never heard of a Steven Hawking

  10. Re:Yes, as flexible as a cd on RIAA and MPAA Developing Domain-Based DRM · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Fuck that, I'll stick to the CD, which I can rip myself.

    Yesterday I tried to rip Rolling Stones' "A Bigger Bang" using exact audio copy in burst mode. It didn't work, the drive kept speeding up and down. :(

    The disc is copy controlled: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Copy_control_logo.png

  11. So much wasted space to the right! on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps soon we will see "no more idle" mails in Slashdot's Disagree Mail? I mean, those mails must be piling up, right? :)

    Or has this already been done?

  12. uhm on Microsoft Causes Internal Family Strife · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's good to know that I can come to slashdot anytime for fair and balanced news.

    Oh wait, there's nothing fair or balanced about this. It's not even news.

  13. Re:Can't wait to see... on NASA Developing Small Nuclear Reactor For the Moon · · Score: 1

    Slinging shit around is REALLY bad taste

  14. Re:Can't wait to see... on NASA Developing Small Nuclear Reactor For the Moon · · Score: 1

    This post made ME hurl!!

  15. please tag itsatrap on HTTPS Cookie Hijacking Not Just For Gmail · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why don't YOU just e-mail the guy and be done with it?!

    Perhaps it's... A TRAP!

  16. I don't like it on FSF-Sponsored gNewSense 2.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Bad name, no "wow" factor (like OS X or even Ubuntu (Windows has no "wow" to it IMO, it has a bureaucratic feel to it)), it appears to have no marketing (why do this if you're not actively bringing it to people? And don't give me the "diversity" speech, a scaled down version of ubuntu, of which there are already too many to count, does nothing to increase diversity (again IMO; stating an opinion; could be, and likely is, wrong; etc))

    I see no pros, only cons, someone enlighten me

  17. What would be really cool on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 4, Funny

    What would be really cool is if you could upload a transparent 1x1 pixel image and it returns every image on the internet

    Yes

  18. muscles on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    You want muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn while at rest. So ideally, you should do some weight lifting.

  19. cat got my tongue on New Search Engine Cuil Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    No results for my hometown versus 6.330.000 results on google, of which at least the first page are rather useful.

  20. Re:Sure, they have that right. on Medical Health Disclosure vs. Steve Jobs' Privacy · · Score: 1

    which contains the implicit suggestion...

  21. Re:Temporal sickness? on Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September · · Score: 1

    lol, nope, I had no idea

  22. Re:Temporal sickness? on Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September · · Score: 1

    IMO discussion boards aren't a good means of conveying sarcasm. It is often expressed in tone of voice, or facial expression, etc.

    Maybe the anonymous coward has asperger's or something, maybe he's unable to pick up on it.

    But yeah, the parent posts were clearly sarcastic. And this post is not, btw. :)

  23. Re:$22 billion for what? on Researchers Test BitTorrent Live Streaming · · Score: 1

    That's 22 million

  24. Re:Grammar Nazi on Inside Steve's Brain · · Score: 1
  25. Re:Human Error? on Mars Lander's Robot Arm Shuts Down To Save Itself · · Score: 1

    There was a pin. It nearly got damaged. Then the robot shut down.
