  1. Re:A new X-Wing series would have been an insta-hi on Disney Closes LucasArts · · Score: 1

    Disney should sell the rights to the X-Wing / Tie Fighter engine to CCP Games to be integrated into Eve Online. I think a joystick driven fast-twitch interface would do that game a lot of good.

  2. Is he serious? on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    This is only because Microsoft believes that Linux was developed on Mars

  3. Sounds like Pirate Radio on The Google Navy · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they might be attempting the equivalent of Pirate Radio and could be a way to avoid a lot of different national laws and regulations. I'm sure there is not a lot of copyright or patent protection in Maritime Law.

  4. Re:Slashdot hardware specs... on Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center · · Score: 1

    What if I'm curious one day but not curious the other day? Will that dramatically affect my user experience?

    YES! Slashdot runs on the Schoedinger Inc., Curiosity Wave Reaction Vessel®. If you're NOT curious slashdot will simply cease to exist. Something about curiosity killing the cat...

    So does this result in two separate realities, one for those who are curious and one for those who are not?
    So if I am not curious one day and then I AM curious the next, am I just jumping between the two different realities or have I created a new fork in space/time/reality?
  5. Re:Slashdot hardware specs... on Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this mean that "If I'm not curious" the system runs on some other hardware?
    Perhaps an Apple IIe?

    What if I'm curious one day but not curious the other day?
    Will that dramatically affect my user experience?

  6. A blonde gets lost in a snow storm... on New Robot Can Help You Find Your Way · · Score: 1

    A blonde got lost in her car, in a snow storm. She remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snow storm, wait for a snow plow and follow it."

    Pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about 45 minutes. Finally, the driver of the plow got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained, that her dad had told her, if she ever got stuck in the snow, to follow a plow.

    The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Walmart parking lot, now you can follow me over to K-Mart."

    Question: would the robotic snow plow driver stop and ask the blonde for her phone number?
  7. NASCAR on NASA Wants Fast Moonbuggies and Solid Lunar Lander · · Score: 1

    NASA / NASCAR you think the similarities are a coincidnece? I think not!
    Gotta find a way to pay for this mission, so top fuel racing on the moon is it!

  8. Leave it to the Polish! on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: -1, Troll

    Well hopefully these same engineers are not the ones designing their nuclear power plants!

    And not that I have anything aginst the Polish, but on some level there is probably a kernel of truth in all those polish jokes.

  9. Good parenting and hacker kids aside.. real advice on How To Configure Real PC Parental Controls? · · Score: 1

    First don't have a computer or laptop with wireless access, otherwise you will be out chasing down all of your neighbors to get them to lock down their wireless networks with WAP keys. Next get a decent firewall with content filtering such as a Sonicwall and lock it and the DSL or Cable modem in a closet and configure the firewall with reasonably strong password. Configure the firewall to what ever degree of filtering you want and you're done. This is about as simple and as much as any decent parent who doesn't want to have to watch their kids every movement should do.
