  3. Re:Just in case you're wondering about the riot co on Google Nexus 4 Prototype Lost In a Bar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    TFS failed to mention that the CEO of the company that lost the iPhone is dead too. Coincidence?

    And, it would probably heat up any other rooms/offices it's next to.

    If only there were some unused chiilers that could be used to cool the air next to the server room.

  7. Starktonium on The Periodic Table of Tech · · Score: 1

    Recently discovered, used in chest pieces, less dangerous than palladium. I don't see it on there though. Guess it's just not updated.

  8. Re:I have to wonder on Iran's High Tech Copycat War Against the West: Drones and Cyberwar · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just have one question for you. Why do you hate America so much?

    2016: Year of the Linux desktop? Or something?

    No. Or rather, they do have minerals, but that's not why we're there and we're not getting the minerals. We're leaving by 2014 without the contracts.

  11. Re:Genius on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 2

    I dunno. Maybe he meant phablet.

  12. Re:IT'S A TRAP!!! on Huawei Offers 'Complete and Unrestricted' Source Code Access · · Score: 2

  17. Re:Highly unethical. on Is Non-Prescription ADHD Medication Use Ever Ethical? · · Score: 1

    Sugar is non-addictive and absent in most drinks. So, no. If you take yours with it, good for you.

  18. Re:In Other News on Italian Supreme Court Accepts Mobile Phone-Tumor Link · · Score: 2

    To build on that, even if there were an increase in brain tumors over the last 20 years, how would we separate the effects of cell phone use from other changes in that time frame? Cell phone towers, wi-fi routers, over-oven microwaves (where people stand inches away from the door while their dinner defrosts) have all increased in the last 20 years. Even among heavy cell-phone users, there are other potential factors. As another slashdaughter once posted, cell phones are typically made of plastic and aluminum, both of which are bad for you. Holding those materials to your face for several hours a day couldn't be good for you either.
