  1. Re:What?...?!?;WTF? on iTunes DRM-Free Files Contain Personal Info · · Score: 1

    Nothing to do with encryption. Actually:

    A is the person being framed
    B is the person doing the framing

    B puts false evidence on file sharing sites.
    RIAA sees them and thinks A is responsible.
    RIAA sues A.

  2. Video game ADHD treatment vs aggression on Treating ADHD With Games · · Score: 1

    For best results I would hook it to a game set in the middle of some city full of innocent pedestrians and a large assortment of melee weapons.

    I realized an irony. If an ADHD treatment calms the person down (thus increasing concentration), but video games increase the person's aggression...

    Example:

    This NEW Video Game can help your children:

    • calm down and control hyperactivity ...
    • enhance attention, concentration, cognition

    Health Warning: Excessive exposure to violent video games ... aggressive behavior...

    The ladies then ask "Where have all the men gone, why doesn't my man sweep me off my feet with emotion?"

    In Chinese we have a saying: "If man not BAD, woman not LOVE (the man)." Women tends to love bad guys - they bring more EXCITEMENT to the women's pumping hearts!

  5. Big-O notation on More Than Coding Errors Behind Bad Software · · Score: 1

    But you'd be amazed at the blank stares and "what do I need that for?" when you ask some of those "programmers" about ... Big-O notation.

    I don't know Big-O notation. Never learned it in school. I'm so ashamed!

    No wonder I can't code simple algorithms like the Google PageRank system. Looks like I'm still stuck learning the Towers of Hanoi (recursive) algorithm.

    Can we simply outsource the optimizing of complex algorithms to Computer Science interns? ;)

  6. Mr Fusion Reactor To Fly Reusable Spacecars on Flying Car Ready To Take Off · · Score: 1

    "Mr Fusion Ltd has designed a nuclear fusion reactor small enough to fit into a car, yet powerful enough to power the car into the stratosphere (about 15 to 50 km high)...

    Output power is at least 1.21 Gigowatts, equivalent to a lightning strike...

    Will be available from 2015 onwards..."

  7. Re:Rules? on Flying Car Ready To Take Off · · Score: 3, Funny

    Year 2015, together with Mr Fusion reactors.

    Oh, if I remember correctly, upgrading a ground car to flight costs US$40,000 (this was a reasonably big amount when the movie was first released).

    Just remember, never appear in the middle of a lane traveling in the opposite direction!

  8. Google carbon emissions vs benefits on The Environmental Impact of Google Searches · · Score: 1

    Google's porn search eliminates all the carbon emission needed to take a woman out to dinner and a movie.

    Yes, but what you see on screen is theoretical knowledge. To be relevant in this world, you'd need practical experience.

  11. Soundstage on Mars on Chandrayaan Maps Apollo Missions · · Score: 1

    No, no - the Apollo 11 site is a soundstage on Mars.

    Darn, where's the three musketeers (Odyssey, Express, Reconnaissance) when you need them?

  12. Free energy on PowerBeam Demos Wireless Electricity At CES · · Score: 1

    Free energy suppression

    No, they're not free. Do you know you'd have to dance continuously to the energy god to get the Free Energy? Too impractical.

    You can get far higher returns converting brainwaves into energy.

    The human body also generates roughly 8000 BTU per day, a far better source of energy.

  13. Geeks on Roland Piquepaille Dies · · Score: 1

    It occurs to me now that Roland was "in love" ( in a manner of speaking) with science. And this is probably why he behaved as he did.

    My entire teenage life just flashed before my eyes, upon reading your sentences. (Yes, I'm socially inept.)

    You may not realize it, but I think you've just described some of us geeks.

  17. Lobbying on RIAA Gives Up In Atlantic Recording v. Brennan · · Score: 1

    So what I want to know it, what is the point where the judges say "Put up or shut up"?

    I don't think they're going to mess with Judge Janet Bond Atherton again, any time soon.

    Hi, Mr Beckerman, or anyone who is happy to answer me.

    Is the district court ruling the highest that can stop the RIAA?

    What's going to stop the RIAA from aiming even higher, such as...?

    • Supreme court (Does it deal with such, um, trivial cases?)
    • Lobbying
    • Getting laws amended
    • Put people in congress
    • Put people in the President's team

    What's going to stop other big companies from doing similar things in future?

  23. Notorious Slashdot troll on Unemployment Claims Crash State Web Sites · · Score: 1

    I think the same trolls are somehow getting mod points left, right, and center.

    Which reminds me ...

    I remember reading an article, about a notorious troll on Slashdot, who kept creating new accounts for trolling. I think he had 10+ accounts.

    I can't find back the original article now, although there's several other articles on trolling on Slashdot, and even a HOWTO guide.

    Anyone has any idea? I seem to have the impression that it was written in someone's Slashdot journal.
