  1. Re:So on NZ Illegal Downloading Crackdown Law In Effect · · Score: 1

    There's already a guy that has access to the government internet connection and is continually downloading. In the hopes that Government will see how ridiculous it is when they get their internet cut off.

  2. Re:AM & PM on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 0

    The same argument was used by people who didn't want to change to metric. It's only because you're used to AM/PM

  3. Re:Time zones were created to fix local noon on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    "Come over and meet me for lunch". Suddenly you've got to remember what time other areas have lunch. It's replacing one problem for another.

  4. Re:Dates get confusing on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    But it's not enough better to be worth the hassle of switching.

    The majority don't need to switch between time zones, so changing how it works would just make date changing in the middle of the day annoying for them. Needs of the many and all that.

  5. "You wouldn't download a car" on Aircraft Made From 3D Printing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well I guess soon you will.

  6. Re:too small - space gravel on Evaluating the Capabilities of Chip-Sized Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    A lot of damage. Usually anything in a collision course attempts to navigate around any debris.

  7. Re:Great idea..... on Space Station To Be Deorbited After 2020 · · Score: 1

    You're right, it's not like that at all.

  8. Re:Yet *still* no full-sized soft drink on Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this man could get a complimentary second half-bag, and have it deposited into the first bag.

  9. Paper/plastic money sure on PayPal Predicts the End of the Wallet By 2015 · · Score: 1

    While I never carry money any more, I'm confident I'll still be using a wallet to carry various cards, credit cards, library cards, ID's...

  10. Re:There's nothing terribly wrong with this on Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework · · Score: 1

    What is it with adding "-ism" and "-ist" onto every word in the dictionary?

  11. The solution on Illegal Film Downloading Up 33% In the UK · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Brilliant solution, If it's easier to get it legally, most would prefer it to illegal methods.

  12. Re:This will be Annoying POS AI on Kinect-Based AI System Watches What You're Up To · · Score: 1

    You just wait until someone creates a paperclip avatar for it.

  13. Re:Of course yes! on Cooperative Cars Battle It Out In Holland · · Score: 1

    Same here, not to mention, the people that hate the idea of self-driving cars seem to ignore the fact that you can take over at any time.

  14. I live in New Zealand so... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When the Rapture Comes? · · Score: 1

    I live in New Zealand so it's only a bit over two hours away for me.

  15. Re:Sounds great, but... on Six Cities Named For Vehicle2Vehicle Communications Trial · · Score: 1

    If used in conjunction with radar and other similar collision avoidance technologies, yes.

  16. Re:crop circles on Search For Alien Life On 86 Planets Begins · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, I had enough faith in their intelligence to assume that they already knew what I asked. I meant for my reply to be seen as sarcastic humour. Apparently I'm not very good at that.

  17. Re:crop circles on Search For Alien Life On 86 Planets Begins · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Have you factored the rotation of the earth into this plan of yours?

  18. Re:Spreading our reach on Sailing the Titan Seas · · Score: 1

    My mistake then, thanks for the info.

  19. Re:Spreading our reach on Sailing the Titan Seas · · Score: 1

    I wasn't speaking of fly-bys. I mean actual landings.

  20. Spreading our reach on Sailing the Titan Seas · · Score: 1

    Best news from NASA I've heard in a while, spreading our influence even further. We have craft on the Moon, Mars, some crushed craft on Venus, and soon to be Titan if all goes to plan.

  21. Re:Am I the only one... on Project Icarus: an Interstellar Mission Timeline · · Score: 1

    I think it's named as it is because of the dreams of Icarus, wanting to reach the sun, even at great risk. It's not the failure you should be focusing on, but the dream. A noble thing to name a ship after indeed.

  22. Artificial Gravity on The Space Station As a Simulated Mars Mission? · · Score: 1

    They need to set up a torus for artificial gravity, allowing them to perform experiments on all kinds of gravity levels.

  23. Bad things Happen in 3's on Doctor Who's Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane) Dies at 63 · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Brigadier, died in February. The Celestial Toymaker, died in March. Sarah Jane Smith, died in April. I hope it ends here.

  24. Past transgressions on Google Teaches Computers "Regret" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will they now regret that they've allowed us to live so long?

  25. Re:That's normal on Comcast's 105MBit Service Comes With Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Really? I hate living here. My plan is 10GB/Month.
