  1. Re:Did NASA take their stupid pills again? on NASA, European Space Agency Want To Go To Mars · · Score: 1

    But why walk when you can drive?

  2. Re:Hashapass on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    A hashed password is exactly as strong as the input to the hash.

  3. Re:Robots.txt on Murdoch To Explore Blocking Google Searches · · Score: 1

    Better solution:

    Actually link to his website in the summary, the site will get slashdotted, and then google will not be able to view his page, neither would anyone else.

  4. Re:Wow. on Going Head To Head With Genius On Playlists · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember reading somewhere in the pandora algorithm that you should only click "Thumbs Up" for songs you really like, not every song you like. If you like a song, but there are aspects of it you don't like then don't select anything, just let it play.

    I know this isn't as nice as being able to select individual features of a song, but what are you going to do?

  5. Re:ISS spotting on The Tech Aboard the International Space Station · · Score: 4, Funny

    a few minutes? you will at least be able to see it for several degrees.

  6. Re:What's new? on In Test, Windows 7 Vulnerable To 8 Out of 10 Viruses · · Score: 1

    Breaking news, security vendor Sophos determines that computers still need anti-virus software.

    More at eleven.

  7. MOD PARENT UP on Pirate Bay Closure Sparked P2P Explosion · · Score: 1

    To put it bluntly, if someone can't make a living writing or singing without the help of an artificial monopoly, then that's too bad. No, seriously, it is. It's not the end of the world. It's not even the end of that person, since he can get a day job, nor even necessarily his creative efforts, since people working a day job get free time. He doesn't want to write or record if he's not paid? Well, if no one likes his writing or voice well enough to pay him up front, then I guess he won't be doing it anymore.

    Seriously people. I don't know why anyone else doesn't see this. Are what these musicians doing really worth making many millions of dollars worth for one album. If they stop making fortunes off of music, will culture stagnate? Mainstream musicians will still make fortunes off of touring. Even if no money is to be made in music people will still record. This is just a balancing effect of the market to determine what the monetary worth of the music is. People who want to support the artist will still pay them.

    If what you are doing isn't profitable, then do something else.

  8. Re:Math Error on Microsoft's Lost Decade · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are you sure? I'm getting 60 / 20 = 2.9999999175

    Try checking your math.

  9. Re:Incident at LAX on How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Makes sense to me. If I was going to hi-jack a plane I wouldn't dress up like a stereotypical terrorist. Its going to be the seemingly innocent ones who are going to sneak things on.

  10. Re:Activity on Sonar Software Detects Laptop User Presence · · Score: 2, Funny

    Like batman?

  11. Re:Not short sighted really... on Squatters Abusing iPhone App Store · · Score: 1

    Not really. Since an app has to go through Apple's approval process, Hello World apps that don't actually do what the submitter indicates should not make it into the store.

    Well that's easy to get around. Just write an app which gives helpful links for that topic. You downloaded "GPS Navigator"

    You may be interested in "GPS" "Technology" "Auto Models" "Handheld Electronics" "GPS Accessories"

    See my homepage at http://www.gpsnavigator.com/

  12. Re:Pretty Shortsighted Solution on Squatters Abusing iPhone App Store · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wouldn't a shitty ap like that get rejected since it doesn't do fuck all? Plus they'll prolly get charged or lose their account if they are forcing apple to check aps that are obviously BS.

    Solution: Write a program to display hello world in the font of the users choosing, and not only will it get accepted, you will probably get people to pay $0.99 for it.

  13. Re:But on Hyperdrive Propulsion Could Be Tested At the LHC · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm missing some special relativity magic here, when you fire a laser at your solar sail momentum is conserved and you will be slowed by firing the laser, sped up when the laser hits your sail, resulting in zero net change in velocity.

  14. Re:Whats funny is my initial reaction to the headl on NASA Discovers Giant Ring Around Saturn · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it when I see it.

  15. Re:Yes on Is Cloud Computing the Hotel California of Tech? · · Score: 2, Funny

    No kidding. Now that I know he was singing about Cloud computing it's a total downer.

  17. Re:Obvious answer... on Verizon Refuses To Provide Complete IPv6 · · Score: 2, Insightful

  19. Ctrl-C on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    It's the equivalent of pulling the key out of the ignition.

  20. Uhhh, I don't really get it. Can you put that in the form of a car analogy?

  21. Re:Too simple to be able to do much on Swarms of Solar-Powered Microbots On the Way · · Score: 1

    If only humans were able to coordinate to build cities and roads, and wage large scale war.

    Its a shame that humans' interactions don't coordinate towards larger efforts without one mind to control it. Oh well.

  22. Re:Keep it simple on Thanks For the ... Eight-Track, Uncle Alex · · Score: 1

    Keep it simple.

    Take all the files you want and send them to a zip archive.

    Encode the archive into base-64 and carve it into stone tablets.

    Should survive hundreds of years. It's good to know that in a hundred years someone will have opened it and decoded it only to find a video of rick astley forever preserved in time.

  23. Re:Nobody needs more than 640K of RAM on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Duh, everyone knows that for best performance you partition half of your RAM as a RAMDISK and set your pagefile to that drive for optimum performance. RAM is practically meant for a pagefile, its much faster than your hard drive. I can't believe there are people out there who still use hard drives for pagefiles.

    Sheesh, I thought this was slashdot.
