  1. Re:MORONS!!! on Gamer Keeps Civilization II Game Going for 10 Years · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is pretty nerdy, and interesting!

  2. Re:He must not be that good on Gamer Keeps Civilization II Game Going for 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Well, why don't you try it then? Play until the year 4000 and tell how your civilization is doing!

  3. More Rumors on Apple News From WWDC and iPhone 5 Rumors · · Score: 4, Funny

    In 2013 the iPhone 6 will be released, and in 2014 the iPhone 7.

  4. Your mom on How the Moon Affects LHC Operations · · Score: 0

    Does the gravity field of your mom also affect this sensitive apparatus?

  5. Re:Be thankful on A Day In the Life of a "Booth Babe" · · Score: 2

    > I. REALLY. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. SEE. YOU. IN. HIGH. HEELS. AND. A. MINISKIRT.

    It's an *Anonymous* Coward on Slashdot, so you cannot possibly know who he or she is, and what their looks are.

  6. Two computers on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Standing/Walking Workstations? · · Score: 1

    Work on two computers at the same time, and have them be not near each other. While a command runs on the one, run to the other and do stuff there, and vice versa.

    Been there, done that, but not because for the exercise.

  7. Re:Fast on After a Year In Orbit, US Air Force's X37-B Will Conclude Its Secret Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, looks like I missed the "SPACE plane" part in the article description. I was thinking about flying through air.

  8. 17,000 miles per hour, I guess that's something like 30,000 km/h? That seems pretty fast to me. How much fuel did that consume, and how did they provide it with fuel for a whole year?

  9. Productivity on Steam For Linux Will Launch In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Oh no! If that happens, my productivity will go down! I'll be playing games suddenly!

  10. Games and movies on Mozilla's Open Source Project Shumway To Translate SWF To HTML5 · · Score: 2

    If it can translate every game and movie on e.g. Newgrounds, and be playable, then it's awesome!

  11. "Where fancy cooling devices are" on Redesigned Cooler Reinvents Tuberculosis Treatment · · Score: 1

    Where fancy cooling devices are rare, but ones sending wireless cellphone signals aren't fancy I guess...

  12. Re:It is Quit Obvious on What Struck Earth in 775? · · Score: 1

    I read a book once, it was about UFO's, ancient Chinese flying carts, and an ancient nuclear war. Maybe that is it!

  13. Cool on Intel Ivy Bridge Processor Hits 7GHz Overclock Record · · Score: 0

    So Ivy Bridge can do something after all! :D

  14. Unary on Is a "Net Zero" Data Center Possible? · · Score: 2

    Sure it's possible to have a Net Zero datacenter: Just use unary coding instead of binary, with 0 as the unary digit.

    For example, by binary number 101 would become as 00000.

    See? As a result, all the bits will be zero. Net zero. That means the data will weigh less, and it's good for the environment! A win for everyone.

  15. Re:Use your WoW character's cooking skills! on Grilling For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Erm, ok, I mean, since when are geeks "grilling" stuff, unless it's a geek who has their interest in grilling of course. But I'm very sure that in that case, it wouldn't involve an iPhone app.

  16. Re:this is just sad on Grilling For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Well, the guy in the picture of the article seems to have a nice happy family with children so... :p

    However, the whole article is not even remotely geeky.

  17. Re:Use your WoW character's cooking skills! on Grilling For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Since when are geeks "grilling" stuff? I though geeks were busy visualizing mathematical functions and solving crypto problems on their trusty old desktop computers that have hundreds of wires coming out of the back, or solving their 8x8x8 rubik's cube.

    Maybe they mean "Grilling for Techies"?

  18. Five Circles on Chemists Make Olympic Rings On a Molecular Scale · · Score: 1

    To be honest, the photo of it reminds me more of a very common arrangment in which 5 spherical objects can be laid out. There's almost nothing about it that reminds me of the olympic rings. The colors aren't there, the rings don't overlap, and the circles look more like hexagons.

    Basically, it just looks like some molecule to me...

  19. Re:Wait, what now? on Free Desktop Software Development Dead In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    This does show that MS really wants developers to make Metro apps instead of regular Windows apps. They provide a free tool for Metro app makers, no longer for regular software.

    What I wonder is:

    Why? Why does MS prefer Metro apps over desktop apps? MS has always been selling a desktop OS as their core business, why do they want desktop apps to die out in favor of restricted, controlled apps now?

  20. Re:It's not just specialization, there is also fea on Where's HAL 9000? · · Score: -1

    Yeah, people are just scared of the Technological Singularity!

  21. Re:This is what I like about Microsoft on Microsoft Research Introduces Record-Beating MinuteSort Tech · · Score: 3

    For one moment there, I read "Comic Sans" instead of "Comic Chat".

  22. It's super accessible on The State of Linux Accessibility · · Score: 2

    Because you can do everything with the command line. Keyboard text input. Spoken text output.

  23. Re:3 years, 3 months, 9 days, 20.5 hrs ago on 'Inexact' Chips Save Power By Fudging the Math · · Score: 1

    Pure random errors not, but repeatedly the exact same error could affect something...

  24. Re:Nixie watch on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 1

    How long does the battery last, how much do nixie tubes consume?

  25. Re:Wait, what? on Russian Satellite Takes Most Detailed 121-Megapixel Image of Earth Yet · · Score: 1

    The rust is annoying though... Because they're compressing 4 wavelengths into 3 wavelengths. An image with only the RGB would look nicer. They could store the 4th IR channel as alpha channel...
