  1. The missing moon rock has been recovered! on Rare Moon Mineral Found On Earth · · Score: 1

    This is a total cover up.
    Someone got cold feet and thought they got rid of the evidence until some idiot started to analyse a complete bland piece of gray rock.

  2. Car bomb explodes in Randers. on Israeli Spyware Sold To Iran · · Score: 1

    The police have no comments on the investigation.
    I would expect an intelligence service to be more effective than this.
    So i think i will rule it out as the work of Mossad. Even though the timing is very conspicuous.
    The news article is in Danish so you will need Google translate

  3. What does those stones cost? on Quantum Entanglement of Macroscopic Diamonds · · Score: 1

    They cost a million bucks and they don't.
    Huh?..Can i bring them home? : Yes and no!
    WTF?? : Perhaps!

    Jokes aside, i think entangled wedding rings would sell pretty well.
    What about entangled ethernet cards for finance banks and hardcore gamers.
    Or entangled radiators. Throw some in the Sahara dessert and sell the entangled cast iron opposites for $2.000 each :-O

  4. Projected on my 3D 4$$ on Real 3D Display; 3 Years Out? · · Score: 0

    Light doesn't interact.
    So unless you can create thousands of ultra thin layers of gas stacked in mid air to project onto this wont happen..ever.
    I have got one word for this. FuckingHoax!

  5. Invest in better compilers on The Great JavaScript Debate: Improve It Or Kill It · · Score: 1

    Add an optional compile directive (attribute) to the script object to enable compilation as weakly typed code.
    An IDE could help out with typing issues.
    Compiled JS would do the crunching while regular JS would handle UI events and talk to JSON services.
    Killing JS would be like trying to strangle yourself with your bare hands.
    Be my guest :)) LOL

  6. To early for Aprils fool on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    It was 23:00 in the morning when the post man woke me up. Wooooot!
    We could also skip time zones completely!
    Time should be determined by your exact longitude.
    This post shall also serve as the patent pending for the GPS enabled smart phone app. "every time".

    This might be a problem to the airforce though. Fighter pilot flight logs might be a litle bit difficult to enterpretate.

    CmdrTaco maaaaan?

  7. Thanks for all the taco on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    And for the most interesting, most vibrant and funniest web site on internet.
    Your posts will always be welcome :)

  8. Re:Who says that the Higgs has any mass at all on No Higgs Just Yet · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the reply.

                In fact, even if the Standard Model is wrong, something has to fix this issue at an energy scale below 1 TeV

    Well then it should even be detectable at Fermilab's Tevatron. Maybe it is not self interactive like the photon.
    But the next big question is.
    What will it mean if the Higgs is discovered, except from finishing an almost 40 year old hunt for the missing puzzle piece. Knowing that it exists?
    Considering all the years and efforts spend on searching, the discussion on what such new knowledge could be used for, has been surprisingly absent.

  9. Who says that the Higgs has any mass at all on No Higgs Just Yet · · Score: 1

    It seems like all the questions about the Higgs particle and it's properties is everybody's best guess.
    The energy of the Higgs could be as high as 10^16 TeV implied by the standard model.
    If it is just above 100 TeV then we wont be able to produce it in our labs anywhere in the near future. 10^16 TeV then forget about it.
    Maybe we should spend more time on physics models that can be tested instead of hanging on to wild theories with hundreds of free parameters that nobody understands anyway.
    All this guessing is really just turning science into a religion.
    Try with some new ideas.

  10. Hard to top on Ridley Scott To Direct New Blade Runner Movie · · Score: 1

    Blasphemy is the first word that comes in to my mind.
    Blade Runner was so unique at is time, among movies like Star Wars, Space Odyssey 2010 that it is hard to believe that it can be topped.
    Maybe it will continue in a 2010 parallel universe?
    Even thou it was right in many aspects, except from flying cars, man made climate
    changes (that haven't happened yet). And got pretty close to the world that we live in today, regards to genetics use of handheld devices. It was too dark and mysterious to be real. But never the less awesome.
    The story and the cast was absolutely perfect. Just can't be topped. But perhaps Mr. Harrison Ford could appear once
    more, as the old Rick Decard. The only surving replicant. Please don't keep him alive as a cold stiff 3D character.

    Hopefully the new movie won't be driven by the a desperate need of finances in the midst of our economical crisis.

    Anyways this is one movie that I will be ready to wait for.
    Please take your time to do it right.

  11. Very elegant lady on MABEL Robot Runs Like a Human · · Score: 1

    Uhm.. Is little ms.. or that thing being dragged around in circles or what?

  12. New years eve 2020 on Space Station To Be Deorbited After 2020 · · Score: 1

    Sad.. that it cant be moved out into a stationary orbit. Or into an orbit around the moon. But..
    New years eve 2020 will be something to remember if you happen see this firecracker hurling across the sky.

  13. Title should have been on Kinect-Based AI System Watches What You're Up To · · Score: 1

    Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

    I guess with HAL's / IBM's jeopardy monster Whatson, plus Kinetics, plus Big Dog from Boston Dynamics, plus some live amo.
    You would have a nasty walking drone.
    I bet it wont take long before something like that will enter the battlefield.

  14. Don't look into that laser! on Boeing's Enormous Navy Laser Cannon · · Score: 1

    This would awesome for presentations. Burning down the whole f"#€ building :O
    Except for burning down incoming ordinance, what else could it do?

    Could it burn holes on the surface of the moon? or astroids?
    If so we could check for Helium 3 on the moon with out sending probes = cheap.

    How about mining, burning holes for termal energy wells?

  15. Dog food is good when your a dog on Microsoft's SkyDrive Drops Silverlight · · Score: 1

  16. Oh shit!! on Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many times this.. ehh... product? can be recycled before it turns in to heavy metal?

    Yikes

  17. Oh dear, not again on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Oh dear.

    An other group of disgruntled MS developers that invested blood, tears, wife and kids on a strategic fiasco.
    Think of it this way. MS is learning and are beginning to make real tough decisions.
    Silverlight as a technology is not so bad. But it is and will always be a MS proprietary technology.
    However you can still use most of your skills with WPF. So it is not all that bad after all.
    Now ASP.NET user controls. That was a big f"#% disaster that took ten years to correct.
    Finally someone came up with Razor. Cutting all the way back to the good old ASP regards to client server design and dev. workflow.
    And ASP.NET is suddenly not so horrible anymore.

    Cheer up Silverlighters and learn some good old HTML, AJAX, WebKit, the Canvas tag, SVG, and perhaps some WebGL.

  19. How? on China Plans Space Station By 2020 · · Score: 1

    But seriously! In nine years?
    Uhmm?
    Well maybe if the Higgs really has been discovered and the Chinese know how to use it to surconvent gravity, then maybe.
    Nah!

  20. Re:Nah it's just on Rumors of Higgs Boson Discovery At LHC · · Score: 1, Troll

    You got it!
    The greater the economical pressure the heavier the budgeton.
    When the economy heats up again the budgeton vaporizes and new theories arises. It repeats it self as a circular wave funtion. As it moves it creates randomness on the worlds stock exchanges. However it does not obey schrödinger uncertainty principle. Insiders know about this.

  25. Re:This dude is an idiot. See quotes below. on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    Yep.. On crack he is.
    I believe that he is confusing .Net with ASP.Net (part of .Net) namely user controls.
    Because there is nothing wrong with the primary .Net languages C#, VB them selves.
    All of them are easy to understand and they compile and perform well as intermediate code pretty much at the same level as Java byte code.
    However MS made some insane dicisions in the past that have coused great grief around in the dev world.
    Today they are no longer in a position to push bad ideas like user controls and web forms, to name the most dominent mistakes.
    So if you know your MS toolbox you can navigate clear of those.
    Before (a couple of years ago) it was hard to convince mgmnt. that ASP.Net was a liability and that it should be avoide by all means.
    Now thanks to real competition, things are changing for the better.
    If you (the ceo) tell me that you cant solve any given enterprise level problem with .Net then it is probably time for you to take your pill.

    As to the claim that .Net devs are of a different quality than other devs. Well....
    A real dev uses the available tools and does what ever is possible within a given time frame to complete the job.
