  1. What's wrong with WAV? on Master Engineer: Apple's "Mastered For iTunes" No Better Than AAC-Encoded Music · · Score: 1

    Put an end to over compressed music and squeaky sub base encoding with WAVE files! Uncompressed WAV files are super, you can make them as big as you like bits and Hz wise! Need 8.1 channels? NO sweat ... that's 4 stereo and 1 mono! Works great with other uncompressed formats too! Compression is for tiny old handheld gadget weenies, to summarize ... :0)

  2. Symbian on Nokia Puts 41MPixel Camera In a (Symbian) Phone · · Score: 0

    There are a LOT of people who adore Symbian phones, and they are VERY secure and stable in comparison with many other telephones.

  3. Oooooo! on IBM Touts Quantum Computing Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    Never mind the banter, where's my nano Mac? Show us your sugar cube sized z-series mainframe! :0)

  4. Nuke? Pah! on Submitting "Nuking the Fridge" To Scientific Peer Review · · Score: 0

    It depends on personal toughness body building acumen, I would cite Arnie in “Predator” just after he says “What the hell ees that?”

  5. Anything to get on TV on MIT Lecturer Defends His Standing As Email Inventor · · Score: 0

    Electronic mail was invented by me, can I get on TV for relatively little effort too? :0)

  6. Typist on Academics Not Productive Enough? Sack 'em · · Score: 0

    Some kids just can't type. There's only one way to find out. :0)

  7. Wow on Solid Buckeyballs Detected In Space · · Score: 0

    That's some mean sonofabitch magnification factor! :0)

  8. No on UN Pushes Plan To Assume Internet Governance Role · · Score: 0

    Give a mouse a cookie, it's going to want a glass of milk!

  9. Source Code on Adobe Makes Flash on GNU/Linux Chrome-Only · · Score: 0

    Just ask them for the source code, why, we'll compile for lin ourselves. No Problem - Grin.

  10. Watch it! on Electric Rockets Set To Transform Space Flight · · Score: 0

    Watch that the electrostatics don't go near the cryo O2 H2 launch propellant tanks, they go off with quite a bang!

  11. Re:Flight Sims - correction on LIDAR Map Shows Height of Earth's Forests · · Score: 0

    That should read "http://www.flightgear.org/" rather than flightsim.org.

  12. Flight Sims on LIDAR Map Shows Height of Earth's Forests · · Score: 1

    This data would be useful for flight simulator makers such as flightsim.org and orbiter!

  13. This question to be answered now! on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 0

    We will all live in domed houses and listen to “Mellotron” music. We will eat space pills for meals. The enemy will be green and have a television aerial on their head. They will fly in silver space saucers and rivet covered rocket ships with sparklers for engines. Their overlords will wear red capes and their robot assassins will partially look like dustbins. Their world will be barren and they will be in search for hypnotic slaves. The principal weapon will be the “Ray Gun” which is never completely explained. I hope this clears matters up ...

  14. CMOS? on Intel Gets Serious With Solar-powered CPU Tech · · Score: 0

    I used to work with flow soldier CMOS kit with LCD when I was a young kid, that's a lot of Karnaugh maps but it'll run faster than TTL when it's finished. I'll miss the backlit / OLED screen, but I guess you can plug them into a TV set / monitor ...

  15. Super! on Physicists Create a Working Transistor From a Single Atom · · Score: 1

    It's possible to envisage people complaining about their googleplex nand drive hitting the "atom" size limit in a few years time when moore's law "rice board puzzles" up the spec. "The hologram shooter is just not realistic unless you calculate the position and momentum of every single molecule." Impressive ...

  16. No on Optimizing Your Caffeine Intake With an App · · Score: 0

    No, I mark this idea "wrong." Go back to med class!

  17. Good on WindowMaker Development Resumes, Has First Release Since 2006 · · Score: 0

    There is a list of x-windows type interfaces that used to ship with lin at around 2000 that were just dropped in favor of KDE / Gnome, etc. I like the idea of putting the choice back into distros, with complete object model inheritance so that all the apps run. Non trivial task?

  18. This mobile stuff's old, can we have our command line back please?

  19. Wifi on ESA Discovers Unexpected 'Haze' of Microwave Transmissions · · Score: 4, Funny

    Earthings! We all use sci fi wi fi ... You may not question this! :0)

  20. Do they on Despite Media Confusion, Raspberry Pi Boards Still On Schedule · · Score: -1

    Do they, like, do them in Mac?

  21. An old discussion on Twisted Metal Designer Rails Against Storytelling Games · · Score: 0

    This was a theme plundered by ID software and Epic when they produced Quake III arena and Unreal Tournament in the late 90s. They both went back to narrative based plots after very rapidly ...

  22. Enslavement on Dealing With an Overly-Restrictive Intellectual Property Policy? · · Score: 0

    This is enslavement, your employer is liable to prosecution under US federal law. Look it up, there have been a few prominent cases in the media recently ...

  23. These kids ... on NASA Unplugs Its Last Mainframe · · Score: 1

    I get the intuition that these kids don't know what one is, never mind how to use it.

  24. That's a PC paradigm on Should Next-Gen Game Consoles Be Upgradeable? · · Score: 0

    I agree with some of the other posters, you are making another PC. Is this a good paradigm to steal wholesale for game console manufacture?

  25. Terrain on The Engineer Who Stopped Airplanes From Flying Into Mountains · · Score: 1

    I quote "Terrain! BING BING Terrain! BING BING Altitude! Don't Think! BING! BING! Pull Up! BING BING!"
