  1. Then again on Bionic Eye Gives Blind Man Sight · · Score: 5, Funny

    He only got the starter package -- Due to the economy he couldn't afford his first choice with the laser.

  2. Re:Supernovae Found In Ice Cores on First Evidence of Supernovae Found In Ice Cores · · Score: 2, Funny

    Once we find it then how long until we can clone it, and make an island full of them?

  3. Re:Reply: Adobe to Lurene Grenier on Homemade PDF Patch Beats Adobe By Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    Not even white collar resort prison? You cold hearted monster.

  4. Re:Not necessarily water... on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    I wasn't suggesting it would condense to water, but that it could be liquid CO2 as an alternative. I didn't realize though that it needed to be highly pressurized to be liquid though, thanks for correcting me.

  5. Not necessarily water... on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    It could easily be some other liquid guys, for example, CO2 is common in the atmosphere there, and it does condense at the poles to ice, why not condense to water on the rovers?

  6. Re:Does Anyone Remember the Star Wars Defence Prog on Satellite Collision Debris May Hamper Space Launch · · Score: 4, Funny

    Then again, if you have antimatter, why not just send it at the debris?

  7. Re:Hold on now on Map As Metaphor In a Location-Aware Mobile World · · Score: 1

    Good point, hadn't thought of that. Couldn't you ask your friends to not put your pictures up though? I do realize this is impractical, but it's the best solution I can think of.

  8. Hold on now on Map As Metaphor In a Location-Aware Mobile World · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What was the problem with just having a small checkbox for being included in the tracking or not? And why can't we trust companies anymore? I may not be the most up to date, but come on, I've never heard about google doing something questionable with your data.

  9. Re:And why the hell do I need a driver for this? on Handset Vendors Plug Micro-USB Charge Ports · · Score: 1

    Thank you very much!

  10. Re:And why the hell do I need a driver for this? on Handset Vendors Plug Micro-USB Charge Ports · · Score: 1

    This sounds somewhat horribly wrong, mind sourcing this? I was under the impression that USB always output 5v, maximum of 500 mAmps.

  11. Ok, so... on "Microsaccades" Help To Refresh Your Field of View · · Score: 1

    Can we finally get some specs on life, such as Refresh rate and resolution?

    Oh man, the poor bastards haven't even got their heads around that and BAM, you hit them with Cat - 6!

    Thanks you, unfortunately I cannot mod you up, but I hope someone does give you at least +1 Informative.

    I've heard this before, google came up with nothing. Someone care to explain?

  16. Re:Somehow... on Sugar-Coated Drug-Dealing Game Approved For iPhone · · Score: 1

    ... and all of a sudden people are e-mailing them about keeping kid-safe apps off of the App Store...

    Wait, what?

  17. Re:Definition on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    And for the last time, it's A S K, not A X E!

  18. Re:Sounds Good on Mobile Phones To Fill Poor Nations' Healthcare Gap? · · Score: 1

    Good point, but if people are funding all these addons to cell phones, development and whatnot, couldn't they build a hospital for that much money? Then again not as many people can make the trip. Bot have pros and cons, guess I'll see how this plays out.

  19. Sounds Good on Mobile Phones To Fill Poor Nations' Healthcare Gap? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Once you get mobile phones into the hands of average people, along with the test kits. Then there's the danger of people sharing the devices and transmitting diseases from one to another. I think I would rather get to a hospital, where it could be done right.

  20. Re:I might throw in a few bucks. on CCP Considering Mobile Apps For EVE Online · · Score: 1

    I definitely agree with you, on the fly switching of skills would be an excellent addition, and if you could also add in buy/sell orders, that would be awesome. Really, when I think about how much CCCP have made and how much is directly player controlled, like the economy, I can't help but be awed. It's amazing what they've done, and a blast to play. The shooting doesn't hurt either, and the plotline is great (if you follow it).

  21. Excellent! on The Best Games of 2008 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm pretty excited to see World of Goo take #2, go indy developers! That said, I'm surprised Mount & Blade wasn't listed at all, and that Sins of a Solar Empire didn't score higher. Still, I'll agree with Fallout 3 ranking #1. While it was a disappointment to those who expected a full on RPG, the FPS element brought many more people in, and allowed for more people to get into the game, while VATS kept it closer to an RPG.

  22. Now hold on on Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again · · Score: 1

    When I first read this, I too thought sabotage, and I think most of /. will end up thinking this too, but I want to remind everyone that this could be something else entirely, maybe there was a localized earthquake, or more boats dropped anchor retardedly. Who knows? Just don't jump to conclusions.

  23. Re:...What? on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    I use an SD card to extend the main SSD, I have this thing about partitions being even.

  24. Re:...What? on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    At least around where I live, the public schools are for the most part filled with traditional idiot kids, with some smarter ones. My school and most other private schools have tons of smart kids and a few that really don't belong with rich parents.

  25. Re:...What? on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    The idea was to lock down computers from running unauthorized software during school, and no, read my post again, it's not giving admin privileges daily, once they leave school, as in graduate.
