  1. Re:Got mimedefang? on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    It's not even that. The one we have at work was basically, here is the file you requested, with a link to some file sharing website link to a pdf file. Except if you looked at the address it wasn't even the right site. I got about 10 emails today with the "here you have" subject line, as well as 2 emails from people screaming not to open any suspicious emails. Yet I keep getting them..

  2. THz laser... on Highly Directional Terahertz Laser Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Aren't all lasers in the THz range? I'm pretty sure all visible light and company are in the THz range.

  3. Re:April Fools is over on Navy Wants Cyber Weapons That Shoot Data Beams · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they already have similar things out there, electronic warfare planes to jam radar and guidance missiles. This just moves it from analog to digital systems.

  4. No Suprise on IE8 Beats Other Browsers In Laptop Battery Life · · Score: 1

    Is this really a surprise given than IE is built into the Windows system anyway? Explorer is running in the background no matter what, so when you start up Firefox or any other browser its going to run on top of explorer.

  5. Where's the issue? on Can Unmanned Aircraft Mix With Commercial Planes? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't see the problem in this. As long as you give the aircraft a simple AI (planes practically fly themselves anyway), and a pre-set route, they should be fairly predictable. A simple in-the-air navigation system for collision avoidance and you're set.

  6. It is pretty basic ideas on ACM Urges Obama To Include CS In K-12 Core · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some schools have Lego Mindstorms, which have a primitive programming system. I mean, it's not hat hard to teach stuff like conditionals, loops, object, etc. The idea of anything taught at this level is to familiarize the student for higher-level work. We do spend 4 years teaching algebra, after all.

  7. Misguided on Orbiter Reveals Rock Fracture Plumbing On Mars · · Score: 0

    Why do we care about ground water in Mars? Don't we have bigger things to do here on Earth? All these Mars missions seem like a major waste of resources. Where is our moon base?

  8. Re:Is Hushmail still safe? on Is Hushmail Still Safe? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What if you're lactose-intolerant?

  9. Re:You don't say? on Gaming Gear Showdown, Simplicity vs. Hype · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which still doesn't warrant a gaming mouse. You just need a mouse with multiple buttons. The only factor that gaming equipment offers is comfort, basically you can play longer without wearing yourself out. Then again, maybe you have bigger problems if you're getting to the point where you can wear youreslf out.

  10. 1 euro to wikimedia... on German Wikipedia To Be Published As a Book · · Score: 1

    So where does the other 19 euros go? Unless they're planning to print on gold paper, publishing costs can't be that much.

  11. Re:Get a VR set for my dog on Ready for a CyberWalk? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And how do you plan to set up a virtual tree for the dog to do doggie business?

  12. Re:Throttling on Comcast Blocks Web Browsing · · Score: 1

    Someone just needs to throttle Comcast.

  13. Re:Conspiracy theorys on Huge Interest Brings Wikileaks Offline · · Score: 2, Interesting

    DDoS anyone?

  14. Re:To Infinity and Beyond! on Hyper-Entangled Photons — 'Superdense' Coding Gets Denser · · Score: 1

    But then in another decade the criteria for what is prize-worthy will have changed drastically.

  15. COM-BAT? on The Army's $10M Spy Bat Still Too Big · · Score: 5, Funny

    Okay, this is taking military acronyms way too far..

  16. Re:This happens everywhere on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Morals are morals, you shouldn't kill, lie, etc, but that the book is only a way to explain those morals. How many people do you know tend sheep nowadays anyway?

  17. Re:This happens everywhere on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Catholic doctrine teaches that the "holy book" is fallible.

  18. Re:Not surprising on First Sight of Google Android · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new gAndroid overlords!

  19. Re:Here we come Verizon on P2P Fans Pound Comcast In FCC Comments · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's possible not to roll over for the NSA. They do pretty much own your ass.

  20. Why on Study Touting OOXML Over ODF Is Debunked · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why is this topic still going on? I would think that everyone agrees that pdf is the better standard.

  21. Crysis on Coming Soon — Cyborg Farmers · · Score: 1

    At least we'll know what to do when ice-beam wielding aliens invade the farmlands.

  22. Re:The "atom chip" Huh? on CES 2008 Hall of Shame · · Score: 1

    I guess the atom chip and phantom console are both aptly named- you can't (and never will) see either of them!

  23. Re:apple on 2008, The Year of Solid State Storage · · Score: 1

    Apple? Rumor? Thinksecret has been shut down! There are no more rumors to be had!

  24. Slashdotted? on 10 Strange Computer Keyboards · · Score: 1

    It seems like the sites already been /.ed for me. And I thought the Optimus keyboard was vaporware... really expensive vaporware.

  25. Hydrogen Fuel Economy on Huge Hydrogen Cloud Will Hit Milky Way · · Score: 1

    At least we solved the problem of where to find our hydrogen.
