  1. Re:Don't forget to test twinkies as well on Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth · · Score: 1

    Mummification? They're just going to find twinkies as edible as the day they were packaged.

  2. Streisand Effect on Usenet.com May Find Safe Harbor From RIAA lawsuit · · Score: 1

    So after reading this, how many 12-18 year olds who've never heard of Usenet are going to say "Another place to pirate stuff from? SWEET DEAL!"

  3. Re:No more going back to XP? on Vista Runs Out of Memory While Copying Files · · Score: 1

    TFA said that it breaks "~16,400". Now, it might be 16,384, it might not. However, I don't know about you, but I'm not going to say "Oh! It broke! Time to count the number of files that got copied over..."

    Kidding aside, take a look at the screenshot provided. 17,899 files post-copy.

  4. Extradition on Do You Need a Permit to Land on the Moon? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My question is, once you're there, who's going to come up to arrest you?

  5. Re:Help me out on If This Was a Month Ago, OOXML Would Be Over · · Score: 0

    "By which he means you find things like "do margins like Word 95" with (of course) the actual code that explains how margins are done in Word 95... missing. And with Word 95 itself being closed source... well, nobody but microsoft can implement OOXML fully without reverse engineering several microsoft products. Except microsoft of course, which has the souce code for said products. The document is also 6000 pages long, compared to 700 for ODF." 6000 pages of nothing useful. Check this article out and tell me if it's just "margins like Word 95" that you can't do.

  6. Re:Not quite right. on Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America · · Score: 0

    - We're obligated by international treaty to not fly nuclear weapons.

    Whoahey. I'm not trying to call you out on that, but can you cite that? I'm honestly a little curious about where that's specified.

  7. That's one way to get 'er done. on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Step 1: Get Slashdot to report it.
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: Profit!

  8. Re:College kids on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 1

    Halo effect? I'd say it's just that those hip college kids can't stand a soviet brown Zune with their blindingly white Macbooks.

  9. Re:the show sucked on Reboot To Get A Reboot · · Score: 1

    They stopped catering to 7-year olds. That makes just about anything more palatable.

  10. Child Pornography? on Senators Call for Universal Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    "While filtering and monitoring technologies help parents to screen out offensive content and to monitor their child's online activities, the use of these technologies is far from universal and may not be fool-proof in keeping kids away from adult material," Sen. Inouye said. "In that context, we must evaluate our current efforts to combat child pornography and consider what further measures may be needed to stop the spread of such illegal material over high-speed broadband connections."

    Wait, so, I'm confused. He wants to "keep kids away from adult material" by reevaluating efforts to "combat child pornography". So is he just linking buzzwords, or saying "If you have a child, and he looks at porn, it's child pornography and illegal! PROTECT THE CHILLUNS!"
