  1. Re:bad design on The NoSQL Ecosystem · · Score: 1

    "Isn't "extend" a word that makes mathematicians cringe" ... Yeah, but it's every Bubble Blowing Dinosaur's dream.

  2. P-Shop on Marge Simpson Poses For Playboy · · Score: 1

    This has to be the first time that amateur photoshopped versions are going to be more realistic than the reality.

  3. Re:anonymous coward wants slice of first post mark on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    I've just been on the phone to a farmer... Turns out he planted a tree a while ago, it got pulped, made into cardboard and then used in a box for one of these games and those swines at GameStop haven't paid *him* a penny either!

  4. Re:So what's the news? Something subtle. on Creating a New Yorker Cover On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    "half assed"? "Someone's basement"?? How dare you! Those are the two pillars on which Slashdot is built.

  5. Re:Free tools are hard on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 1

    Dammit! That's virtually a terrorist handbook, right there! What is this? Some sort of Pinko propaganda site??

  6. Re:It's a kite, not a spinnaker! on Football Field-Sized Kite Powers Latest Freighter · · Score: 1

    Absolutely... Although there is precious little that I've done which has scared me more than accidentally performing a loop with the kite and being mercilessly dragged downwind... On my back, across the beach as I recall. Then again, the first person who an get some decent air and rotations on a sailboat would definitely get an event into the X Games.

  7. Re:More secure, less useful. on Graffiti as Password - Secure and Memorable · · Score: 1

    Do you hand your fingertip to your colleague when you go on vacation? As difficult as giving him your hand drawn password would be, it might still be easier than spending your time looking like you annoyed the Yakuza.

  8. Re:Finally... on Algorithm Seamlessly Patches Holes In Images · · Score: 1

    You'd probably find that, having spent that time removing the pixelated areas, the algorithm would replace the blank area with... Some large, blocky pixels - having decided that this (based on the vast amount of pixelated images in its repository) is indeed what should be in those areas of the image?
