  1. Good! on Blue Gene/P Reaches Sixty-Trillionth of Pi Squared · · Score: 0

    It's good to know these computer scientists and mathematicians are not wasting computer funding on a worthless project.

  2. Lost the plot on Sweden May Mandate Opt-in For Cookie Transfer · · Score: 0

    I think they've lost the plot, it reads as if they've become paranoid obsessive! :0)

  3. Son of a Bitch! on Rep. Bill Posey Introduces 'Back To the Moon' Bill · · Score: 0

    I went into shock when I read this! Far Out!

  4. Loop on Why People Should Stop Being Duped By the 3D Scam · · Score: 0

    3d takes cinema by storm every time there is a sales lul. Wouldn't it be great if it stayed around as an optional form of TV on everyone's machine? I think the new high refresh Japanese televsions do this fine.

  5. Again! on Greenpeace Says the Internet Emits Too Much CO2 · · Score: 0

    Is there any needed life supporting resource that this outfit will not try to destroy? This is another fabricated story by them and wholly without scientific foundation.

  6. Learn C on Google Loses Bedrock Suit, All Linux May Infringe · · Score: 0

    Isn't it good to be able to write C/++/Objective and to be able to rapidly replace code? Problems like this afflict non technical people...

  7. Quality Damage on YouTube Now Transcoding All New Uploads To WebM · · Score: 0

    If you re-encode this will blow the quality and compression ratio with this type of codec. Which pixel size ratio / frame rates? Hmmmm...

  8. Startup on Promotion Or Job Change: Which Is the Best Way To Advance In IT? · · Score: 0

    One option might be to start up a new company. A lot of companies go to the wall because the people who run them are not clever enough to understand their products. Look at the companies that survive vs those that don't. It's simple to teach a clever person leadership, but a stupid appointee cannot make working tech – it's only a matter of time ...

  9. Limiter? on Skynet Becomes Aware, Launches Nuclear Attack · · Score: 0

    Doesn't it have a limiter in it's CPU core like Arnie? I think that's the bug right there ...

  10. Lie on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 0

    This post is a lie! Do get a medal for saying that?

  11. Who? on Tim Berners-Lee: Stop Foaming At the Mouth, Twitter · · Score: 0

    HTML wasn't him! I was a large team of engineers that developed this type of document. Re: "unwilling to retweet any update that wasn't offering an extreme opinion." He's only allowed to add a few users, try different people who are more sensible! Maybe he simply needs new online friends.

  12. Samsung on Samsung HD Unit Bought By Seagate · · Score: 0

    I think Samsung toys are good. Their kit has (in my humble experience) rock solid performance under adverse radio / heat / vibrational conditions. Almost mill spec. I think it would be good for both parties.

  13. Danger! on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 0

    You mean they actually trust Doctors with computing?

  14. Whoa on WordPress Hacked, Attackers Get Root Access · · Score: 0

    Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Leet! Can I get an autograph?

  15. Now lets see on 'Scrapers' Dig Deep For Data On Web · · Score: 1

    Now what kind of individual stands to gain from the of generating this rumour? Lets see now ...

  16. Gary Newman on Garry's Mod Catches Pirates the Fun Way · · Score: 0

    Isn't that the name of a band from the 80s?

  17. Nice on KDE's New Projects Take On Portable Devices · · Score: 0

    I've seen some "i-Poddy" android like interfaces for KDE that were downloadable for last years mandriva. If you coat KDE with then black glass effect it makes for a very neutral Feng Shuey interface. "Darth Vader's Tummy" would be a good description. Later ...

  18. This is a clever idea on Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone · · Score: 0

    Teaching everyone to program on an affordable platform like this is a very neat move, and undoes the damage done by companies that provide "Mothership System" based software development. It means we will have better software in the future as kids can now learn development early enough on a platform they are familiar with. I hope they put it on every device.

  19. Aha! on Facebook Plans To Show Ads On Websites · · Score: -1

    A Game's a foot eh? Next time you do a google search for "FaceBook" you'll get the FBI 10 most wanted instead ... :0).....Later .......

  20. Defenestration on Forget Space Travel, It's Just a Dream · · Score: 0

    Get these kids off hire – they're negative. Hire someone smart and while you're can you get me some Twinkies?

  21. Re:It's the NUKE CODES! on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: -1

    Re the nuclear bomb “Flying Saucer” rumours near the test site. They see a shining disk on the horizon – they don't see the mushroom cloud. it's a secret weapon so the Japanese don't copy – hence the cover story “did you see little green men like in Dan Dare”. There is a brilliant white light. There is a lot of UV so everyone is sunburnt down one side of their face. There are earth tremors. There is electrostatic and EMP sending electric toys and appliances erratic. Some people disappear (killed as it is a deadly device). Death rays mean no one allowed into test area. Etc. etc. It's all encoded in Stephen Speilberg's Close Encounters film if you care to watch. Later ...

  22. At last! on Researchers Build Wearable Generators · · Score: 0

    This paves the way for shoes with flickering fading lightbulbs on each toe. Never again will you trip (unless you stand still of course). Is that one Watt per shoe or per pair? Won't it memory your lithium polymers to have that degree of variation of charge?

  23. It's the NUKE CODES! on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 0

    I thought this was a reference to early sightings of over the horizon nuclear tests that needed to be suppressed, during the time of Oppenheimer. So I was wrong all along For Relia!!!

  24. Pay attention everyone, this is the plan ... on US Navy Close To On-Ship Laser Cannons · · Score: 0

    So we steal this "LASER" and place it on the moon. Then we telephone the president ...
