  1. Flashback to April 1 on RFID License Plates in the UK · · Score: 1

    That's funny. German publisher Heise's premier print magazine c't had an article about these already being implemented in Germany. Of course, that article was this year's April fools joke in c't. Not really surprising that at least one government is already pursuing this further. Yikes.

  2. They're likely to rip you off on Native American Wireless ISP Launched · · Score: 1

    If you keep reloading pages on the casino website often enough, you'll get an ad at the right side promising "32 oz. of heaven" .... "our signature 24 oz. porterhouse steak ..." There's a 33% cheat right there ;-)

  3. I feel sorry ... on Six Months Old, Eight New Organs · · Score: 1

    ...for the poor guy who is going to end up with Darl McBrides brain (after he dies in a car crash due to brake failure, shouldnt have gotten his parts at Autozone).

  4. Re:It's a lesson on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 1

    >> bad mix of technology, science and politics just another example of why Scientology is evil!

  5. I wouldn't dare! on Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community is Available · · Score: 3, Funny

    The question is: Will SCO sue me for downloading or do I actually have to be running it to get sued?

  6. Re:MAKE MONEY FAST on Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO · · Score: 1

    Except that for an unjustified attack on Iraq, you get 86 BILLION!

  7. Re:Upstaging SCO in a very public way on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    Duh, at this point, pretty much *everybody* who buys a license should be able to easily generate press attention. But *why* for crying out loud would you want to revive Darl?

  8. SETI on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    "a random series of zeroes and ones in binary code"

    could somebody please get SETI@home to take a look at this?

  9. So ... on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1

    if these are actually the thiefs and the "source" is found and returned to Valve, can the guys at Valve finally get back to work?

  10. Re:If blue=pink, then green=?? on Explaining the Mars Photo Colorization · · Score: 1

    Well, RTFA, it's all a matter of which filter you use ;-)

    Which color do you want your Martians today?

  11. Make money fast! on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 1

    here's the strategy:

    1. Port your favorite Linux
    2. Build a Beowulf cluster of these
    3. ???
    4. Profit!

  12. where oh where on WW2 Aerial Photographs Go Online · · Score: 1

    is the website that has pictures of their crashed and burning web server?

  13. Re:Clear Channel music isn't centralized on Local News Anchor Feels Pain from Afar · · Score: 1

    Oh, of course ClearChannel doesn't dictate which songs are played.

    They actually dictate which songs are NOT to be played.

  14. Dentists in Iran on Free Software In Iran, KDE In Farsi · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why should dentists in Iran - many of whom were educated in the US - not have discovered the importance of FLOSSing.

  15. full map is still in progress, right? on A Day in the Life of a Patent Examiner · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Looks like their webserver is busy building the full version of the map.

  16. Not a new idea on Send Emails After Your Death · · Score: 1

    Something similar has already been done during the dot com days. I can't for the life of me recall their name, but I seem to remember that they would send you e-mails regularly and you had to click a link to let their server know you're still alive.

    I'm sure that company died a miserable dotcom death. Wonder what sort of emails they had set up for that "exit strategy"

  17. Microsoft ad? on Dutch Court Rules That Linking Is Legal In Scientology Case · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why is it that I get a Microsoft ad to go with this article on Scientology.

    Strange, hmm ....

  18. Re:Metric Metric Metric on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 1

    Whoa! One square meter is NOT 100 square cm!

    One meter is 100 cm, so one square meter is more like 10.000 square centimeters.

    At least in metric ;-)

  19. its obvious! on HomeSec Warns Again About Microsoft's Insecurity · · Score: 1

    Before you know it, running Windows 95/98 will be a dead giveaway that youre a terrorist and need some chill out time in Guantanamo. Maybe you need your lights turned out for good. Your friendly hotel staff in Cuba will determine further details.

    (check what your browser sends out as HTTP_User_Agent, if it contains Win 95 or 98 and you hit the DHS site with it, youll see what I mean RSN ;-)

  20. So it�ll go like .... on Shuttle Missions Will Be Monitored From Space · · Score: 1

    Fm: Mission.Control@nasa.gov
    To: STS-134@nasa.gov
    Sb: Shuttle, you have a problem

    Hi guys!

    We have received some alarming pictures of the shuttle from the military. It looks like the edge protection is gone from a wing, there are hundreds of tiles missing from the belly and it looks like some control surfaces have serious holes in them.

    The guys here have started placing bets on which one will get you. Of course, theres nothing that you or we could do about the problems.

    So the question is: Do you want to disintegrate on re-entry, or do you want to stay up there as long as it takes?

    Let us know how you want to proceed

    Mission Control

  21. D'oh! Try this! on Making a House That Will Last for Centuries? · · Score: 1

    Instead of building homes out of 2 by 4's and cardboard, er, drywall, you might want to try something more durable.

    Such as bricks and steel reinforced concrete.

  22. Re:General advice on International Connectivity · · Score: 1

    really no neeed ... Europeans will have that figured out in no time. ;-)

  23. This Pioneer is not dead on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10 · · Score: 1

    This Pioneer 10 is not dead - it is resting.

  24. Re:Zeitgeist? on Microsoft At Middle Age · · Score: 1

    So actually Linux is miles ahead.

    Your search results for 'windows' obviously include millions of hits for all the folks who sell, repair, install, burn, shoot these real, like - GLASS - windows.

    Interesting.

  25. Re:Space cr4p on Traffic Cops for Space · · Score: 1

    Sounds good.

    Just make sure it has enough power and can keep its course.

    Wouldnt want that landfill in low earth orbit, now would we.... ;-)
