  4. Re:And What Will It Do? on Japanese Consortium Projects a Humanoid Robot On the Moon By 2015 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Golfballs and flags are for newbs! This is a Japanese robot, and as such it will landscape the moon in zen - rock garden style using a cluster of hentai anime penises while wearing a Japanese school girls outfit.

  8. Si vis pacem, para bellum on Mariners Develop High Tech Pirate Repellents · · Score: 1

    Lets see: Victims use water cannon - 100 meters max range - WEEEEE! Pirates lately been using grenade launchers as their introductory volley - EFFECTIVE range 300 meters, max range 400-900 meters (depends on the model - your results may vary). Seems obvious why pirates are ahead in this equation. Get armed or be a victim - funny that axiom applies on so many levels.

    Splunge for me too! I think it's a great-idea-but-possibly-not-and-I'm-not-being-indecisive!!

  10. I am not reading any more Slashdot until on Interview With the Author of "Mastering Cat" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    April 1st is over. Even under normal circumstances it is hard to judge seriousness of typical Slashdot posts, but today, I simply refuse to participate in filtering out April Fools detritus from the usual. I am going to get on my Amiga 2000 and play Giana Sisters. That is all.

  11. Google should make a point by on Should Google Be Forced To Pay For News? · · Score: 1

  18. Absolutely useless against true fanatics. on Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do · · Score: 1

    Just like lie detector tests are useless against most sociopaths, this type of crap is useless against true fanatics, people who are calmly resolved to their fate. Instead of dumping billions of dollars into creating a better curtain, how about fixing the shit behind it? P.S. Apologies in advance to those who didnt get the Wizard of Oz reference.

    PS Netbook!

  22. As an industry insider I got to say this... on Abit To Close Its Doors Forever On Dec. 31, 2008 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Abit is chiefly responsible for its own demise. Their modus operandi of shipping huge inventories to large retailers and essentially consigning them is what killed them. Large retailers historically only paid Abit for what was sold, as it was sold, and when the bills came due they would cut the check for the sold goods and ram the rest of the aged, consumer handled, distress packaged merchandise down Abits throat. Abit would then sell those units at a huge discount to secondary channel liquidators who would release the products to the public at a fraction of the retailers price, thus cannibalizing retail even more and overextending Abit. This went on for years and the company declined. In the end they tried to switch to a much more agressive payment structure and were dumped by majority of retail outfits. If they controlled their inventories and channels tighter they would still be around. Sad, but thats basic business.

  23. just use Tagoo.ru they added a search vid feature on Warner Music Pulls Videos Off YouTube · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and you do not have to know Russian. This is why competition is good, if they succeed on youtube, there are plenty of alternatives out there, especially if you speak a foreign language. Globalization is backfiring at the megacorporations.

  24. Oh nos you spoke against teh Linux Overlords on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    Not sure why you got modded Flamebait, since you gave a nod to the Linux Backtrack 3. Well I guess I am going to get modded down too, since I am using the XP version of ASUS Eee PC EPC1000HA. It has much brighter screen than my bosses 701. The screen is NICE, wish it was 1024x800 but 1024x600 is not bad. The 10" NetBook *IS* more functional, for starters the hard drive is big enough to fully patch XP without having to delete apps. I am running 2GB with every program I need to work and travel. ASUS is clearly learning, and adjusting to the demand, thats not called a bias, its called a Business.

  25. Cloud Computing is Creepy on Amazon Beefs Up Its Cloud Ahead of MS Announcement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry, but I am still creeped out by the concept of keeping your data offsite, allowing a third party to control not only your data integrity, but its privacy, AND the cost structure of accessing/maintaining it. Seems like a very unhealthy dependency.
