  1. Re:Priceless... on Google Losing Up To $1.65M a Day On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Guess we can look forward to ads with fat guys having imaginary lightsaber fights.

  2. Re:Seems like a jump to conclusions. on Baby Chicks Have Innate Mathematical Skills · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget Clever Hans the horse.

  3. Re:Searching for achievments on Microsoft Asks Fed For Bailout · · Score: 1

    Do they still track it or was it just for ones you had already done?

  4. So where's the full list? on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    I assume we only have a day to get as many as we can. Can't wait to see what kind of prizes there are for these.

  5. Re:second amendment rights on Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case · · Score: 1

    But in the meantime how many would die to accidents? Would you trust the average American with gun safety? Would you be allowed to carry while at the bar?

  6. Re:Build your own Quassam at home! on Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case · · Score: 1

    Or are the winning horse because America invested in them?

  7. Re:Water is heavy on Using Lasers and Water Guns To Clean Space Debris · · Score: 1

    Is this for aiming the water or just dropping water and hoping some of it hits something on the way down?

  8. Re:Water is heavy on Using Lasers and Water Guns To Clean Space Debris · · Score: 1

    How much water would you need to clean the entire orbit though? It would seem the 10kg would only be good for so long. A continuous stream for 4 or 5 hours might be enough to clean each orbit if it's wide enough.

  9. I still haven't forgiven them on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For taking Space: Above and Beyond off the air. Fox has a bad track record with sci-fi shows and I think viewers are a bit wary about getting into new ones on Fox. I know I am.

  10. Little Ice Age on Scientists Reconstruct Millennium's Coldest Winter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The History Channel had a show about this over the weekend. There was also a year that it snowed in July in the Northeast US. The possible reasons they gave were: -solar min -volcanic activity releasing sulfur high into the atmosphere -fresh water from northern ice disrupting ocean currents

  11. Re:Some easy answers to those questions. on Battlestar Galactica's Last Days · · Score: 1

    But when was the last time you heard of a suicide bomber killing coalition soldiers? They aim for markets and crowded areas. They get the soldiers by using IEDs and such.

  12. Re:Sure, 17 year-olds believe this because of a ga on Halo 3 Criticized In Murder Conviction · · Score: 1

    There are games like FF Tactics and Fire Emblem, in which if characters die, they are no longer playable.

  13. Re:6GB of ram? on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    The i7 uses DDR3, which is not quite so cheap.

  14. Re:At what level of detail on The Slippery Legal Slope of Cartoon Porn · · Score: 1

    Otherwise think of all the parents that would be in jail right now for some of the home movies of their kids. They even have them on AFV, with the censor bar of course.

  15. Let's not forget the lessons from Futurama on Inventor Builds Robot Wife · · Score: 1

    If humans are able to create sex partners then the entire human race will wither away.

  16. Re:That sucks on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that women living together tend to sync up on their periods.

  17. Re:The lowest point in the Netherlands on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 1

    It'll be much tougher to build dykes and damns on an archipelago. I guess an option would be to build them out in the ocean so you can keep the beaches.

  18. Re:In other news... on Nintendo Already Anticipating Holiday Wii Shortages · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why Nintendo can not do the same with its Wii console. Could it be that Nintendo is purposely not expanding manufacturing lines, in order to create a deliberate shortage on the market? Hmmmm. I'm not sure why they'd want to do that, except possibly to inflate the retail price $50 above actual cost of manufacture.

    It's called a profit. I'm sure Nintendo has run all the numbers and have picked the strategy that's the most beneficial to them. We can sit here and talk about missed sales and such but we don't know all the numbers.

  19. Re:Old News on Flash Cookies, a Little-Known Privacy Threat · · Score: 1

    I had 90 folders with 4MB total size in the #SharedObjects folder

  20. Re:Inefficient on Couple Funds Honeymoon With Recyclables · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try bear proof trash cans.

  21. Re:Oh, it's worse than THAT. on Homeland Security Department Testing "Pre-Crime" Detector · · Score: 1

    ...
    1) Even when told to act funny, it misses 20-22% of targets, giving it a terrible success rate.

    ...

    Maybe 20-22% of the people suck at acting.

  22. Should be Gobal gamers are fitter than Americans on Gamers Are Fitter (and Sadder) Than You Think · · Score: 1

    EQ2 is probably played by a good about of global gamers. Maybe it just means their couch potatoes are fitter than the average Americans.

  23. What's needed is to kill the RIAA quickly on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    If people would just stop buying music from them, they wouldn't survive long. But apparently the music is more important than the indignation. If people were to stop buying from RIAA companies, the artists would release their works elsewhere.

  24. Re:Curious to see where this one goes... on Lawsuit Claims Nvidia Execs Concealed Serious Flaw · · Score: 1

    Here's BFG's Limited Lifetime Warranty
    http://www.bfgtech.com/warranty.aspx

  25. Re:This one since 1884 on Spectacular Fossil Forests Found In US Coalmine · · Score: 1

    There's another one in PA that started in 1962.

    On another note:
    "It's a really exciting experience to drive down into these mines; it's pitch black," the Bristol University research said.

    It's funny that they would do research on such simple things as the amount of light available deep underground. Or maybe it was research on the emotions felt when driving into mines. arrg why does the wording have to be so confusing?
