  1. Video? on Russian Man Aims To Reinvent "Taser" Technology · · Score: 1

    "His latest version is the S5, and a video of the weapon in action shows it firing repeatedly — almost as fast as the trigger can be pulled."

    I'm half-blind at the moment, could anyone point me to the video?

  2. SOLD! on Website Sells Pubic Lice · · Score: 2, Funny

    SOLD - in Europe only Danish teenagers shave!

  3. The Car is Your Keychain on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    Keep the keys in your car, you'll probably be driving to most of the places anyway.

    The other solution is to move to some cold country where you have to wear a jacked all year long. Those things have huge pockets you know.

  4. Re:Can we get.. on Intel Turbo Boost vs. AMD Turbo Core Explained · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This seems like another marketing trick. I bet all the cores could easily run at the "super turbo boost" clock rates with an average heatsink and fan...

  5. Can't lose! on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    The PS3 owner can't lose this kind of suit or something is REALLY wrong.

  6. Google? on Massive Number of GoDaddy WordPress Blogs Hacked · · Score: 1

    I'm not coming from Google but the given link gives me 403 (Forbidden)!

  7. Graphics? No thanks. on How I Saved the Gaming Industry · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it just me or are "good" graphics overrated? No matter what they do, in the end the overall looks are still not real and only the textures are prettier.

    Remember that people played (and still actively play) MUDs - they are not played for the nice looks (ASCII maps is all you have to look at!!!), it's the story that catchy.

    I think that the players who are there for the graphics play the games for the shortest time. The more valuable customers that are there for the story and would buy a sequel, updates whatever actually don't care about the looks after first 2 days.

  8. Fuud on How To Find Bad Programmers · · Score: 1

    We offer free coffee for your 20-hour shift for a few days before the release.

    BUT nobody mentions that you still get paid for the regular 8-hours.

  9. Re:Not only for nerds? on OpenTTD 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    From stable download page:

    For OpenTTD you can use the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe data files (you need to own a Transport Tycoon Deluxe CD). There are also the free alternatives OpenGFX (graphics), OpenSFX (sound) and OpenMSX (music) which can be installed automatically by the Windows installer.

  10. Re:Willis!? on NASA Summoned To Fix Prius Problems · · Score: 1

    You can't say that, because:
    * Nobody knows what's actually wrong with the pedals
    * Chuck Norris can fix anything

  11. Willis!? on NASA Summoned To Fix Prius Problems · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bruce Willis? They'd better call Chuck Norris to fix the pedals with a roundhouse kick or I'm selling my Toyota!

  12. robots.txt on Newspaper "Hacks Into" Aussie Gov't Website By Guessing URL · · Score: 1

  13. Re:P4 is quite enough...? on Today's Best CPUs Compared... To a Pentium 4 · · Score: 1

    It runs at default 1.55v, so I doubt it will suffer this syndrome. And it has been running like this for years.

  14. It's Russia... on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 1
    Taken that it's Russia, the actual outcome will most probably be the following:
    • The 5kg bomb detonates the 300kg explosive
    • The robot sinks to the bottom and leaks some nasty oils
    • All plants, fish and mammals get killed
    • The engineers admit to their supervisors that they tried their best, but the outcome was as usual
    • The media still gets a nice clip of the scale model maneuvering in a small pool and scaring fish
  15. P4 is quite enough...? on Today's Best CPUs Compared... To a Pentium 4 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    P4 3,2Ghz Northwood @3,6Ghz and a decent graphics card can easilly run Modern Warfare 2 @ 1280x1024 - what else do you need from a processor on a desktop computer?
    All these multicores barely give any real advantage to a regular gamer/desktop user at the moment.

  16. Re:Dumb question on Google To Suspend Mobile Phone Launch In China · · Score: 1

    Yes, new google phones are produced under the codename Eno Suxen and rebranded in the US.

  17. It IS safe! on Own Your Own Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    I'd go for this instead of a business jet. Far more fun and you don't have to worry if the engines fail - you can always use the ejection seat. Russian fighter's ejection seats are far more safe than the US ones - you can eject at over Mach 2 and survive!

  18. More, more! on What Google's Chromium OS Is Reaching For · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The more the merrier!

  19. Re:Nice of them to change the color on Microsoft Investigates Windows 7 "Black Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    Do Macs have white screen?

  20. Re:Avatar on Augmented Reality and Privacy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's called paranoia man.

  21. One-way encryption on In UK, Two Convicted of Refusing To Decrypt Data · · Score: 2, Informative

    So if I encrypt my data with an encryption mechanism that can't be inverted by today's standards and someone doesn't like it, I'll go to jail?

  22. Automatic update on Adobe Security Updates For Flash and Shockwave · · Score: 1

    Does Flash get updated automatically when I start Firefox or do I have to mess around Adobe's site?

  23. S*** happens on McAfee Leaks Conference Attendees' Personal Info · · Score: 2, Informative

    Things like this even happen to the best of us.

  24. Confused on Cable Management To Defeat Clutter? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't get it - you have all those devices in one room that you're having cable problems?

  25. Re:Just cancel pair programming on Collaborative Software For Pair Programming? · · Score: 1

    Does it actually matter if both the students know exactly what each line of code does? In many cases, programming might just be a "side course" for some other specialty where understanding some code makes your life a bit easier.
