  5. New AIDS test? on Glowing Cats a New Tool in AIDS Research · · Score: 1

    I'll just turn off this here light and let's see if you glow or not. And seriously why is it that they are making everything glow in these tests, how about making a cat that can talk, or breathe underwater but no there must have been a heck of a sale on the genes that make stuff glow and some scientist is stuck in lab thinking what are we going to do with it all

  8. Re:BayFiles on The Pirate Bay Founders Go Legit With BayFiles · · Score: 1

    Damn beat me to it, I was thinking Baywatch would have been a new team assembled by the Motion Picuture Industry to monitor and send takedown notices.

  9. Re:Sounds like... on Apple Moves To Stop Kids Racking Up iTunes Bills · · Score: 2

    So what's your parent excuse for that response?

  10. Re:Amazon lost on If App Store's Trademark Is Generic, So Is Windows' · · Score: 2

    How far of a leap is it to say that application is just a longer form of app so it's also covered under trademark. No more application developers unless you want to be sued. I know it's a stretch but application was really the first word that popped in my head when i read app. not the brand Apple.

    I'm glad I am no longer with Comcast, why ban content at this point they already have a download cap in place I think it was 10 gigs. I mean seriously if i have 10 gigs I should get to use it on what I want.

  16. Maybe they did it wrong... on A Decade of Agile Programming — Has It Delivered? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A team in my the company I worked for was designing a new set of software and were utilizing Agile development. Well, seems they spent so much time going back and changing the software due to the changing demands that they never got anything finished to demonstrate so they wiped out the project team.

  17. Re:Health risk on Inside a Full-Body-Scanning X-Ray Van · · Score: 1

    Or what if you get scanned by this truck and then go get a few chest x-rays after the fact. If i'm not mistaken your only allowed to have so many x-rays taken within a given time period and i'm sure this truck would really up the risk of an over exposure

  18. First Place to Fall in a Zombie Apocolypse on The Future of the Most Important Human Brain · · Score: 1

    Or... we lure them to the observatory and Nuke it from space

  19. Que the Patent Lawyers on One Step Closer To Speedier, Bootless Computers · · Score: 1

    When i read this all I could think of the previous article about how a large company would not sponser the inventor of graphene but rather patent him out of existance. http://www.nature.com/news/2010/101007/full/news.2010.525.html So it begins I would expect

  22. Re:I'm all for it on Intel Wants To Charge $50 To Unlock Your CPU's Full Capabilities · · Score: 1

    It's like buying a game, and then paying to unlock the extra conten already included on the disk. That went over really well.

  23. Re:Just plant some trees on Self-Assembling Photovoltaic Tech From MIT · · Score: 2, Funny

  24. Re:Thanks slashdot! on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 1

    What kind of idiot would use that as the combinaton for the air shield

  25. Re:Obvious. on Recourse For Draconian Encryption Requirements? · · Score: 1

    I agree with above, but with all the HIPAA, PHI, PII protection that is required, they should never have let your personal pc touch their network in the first place. If you get audited and personal data happens to be saved to a non protected pc god help you. And if that laptop were to get stolen and exposed, well now you have tons of government fines and horrible PR and a damaged reputation. Sorry but even with a miminal chance of losing patient data you absolutely have to protect that at all costs, I'm suprised there are not mandatory HIPAA training courses that you need to go throught that would explain that.
