  1. Needed to be hybrid on The Rise and Fall of America's Jet-Powered Car · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Turbines suck at low RPM, have exotic acceleration modes and requirements and only shine at constant speed. What Detroit needed was a hybrid turbine-electric car, either in series or parallel. With today's electric technology, I'm surprised these haven't made a comeback. You'd have the best of both worlds. But with fuel at less than 3 USD per gallon, why bother?

  2. Re:I guess that means on French Government May Subsidize Music Downloads · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's not a money grab if people are throwing money at you. I bet you blame the US Health Care industry for charging too much too.

  3. Death by Meme ? on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net · · Score: 1

    So when NELL absorbs the Internet, becomes all powerful and takes over, but only knows the terms 'LOL', 'HA HA Guy', 'Facebook' and 'Goatse', our future starts to look pretty grim.

  4. or desalinate? on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How can it possibly be cheaper to drive water from Alaska to Bombay, than it would be to fund and build a desalinization plant?

  5. Re:So happy to be seeing the responses here... on What Tech Should Be In a Fifth-Grade Classroom? · · Score: -1, Troll

    You sound gay.

  6. Visible? Opaque? on Visible Light 'X-Ray' Sees Through Solid Objects · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How does visible light make its way through an opaque object?

  7. Re:In times of financial crisis on ATMs That Dispense Gold Bars Coming To America · · Score: 1

    Only if they know about it. Which is why the wise don't buy their gold with credit cards.

  8. Unlimited possibilities for evil on Linux Monument Unveiled in Russia · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they're grateful to Linus, for giving them such a useful platform to use in the typical Russian banditry, thuggery and racketeering.

  9. just deny all inbound unmatched traffic on Are Desktop Firewalls Overkill? · · Score: 1

    Why would you ever allow new inbound sessions to a desktop machine, outside of a few known exceptions?

  10. How about ditching the silly names on The A-Team of IT — and How To Assemble One · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you take someone on your team because he's an "uber hacker" or a "Sherpa" then you are spending too much time diddling and playing WoW. Get a good team of professionals with complimentary skills, but don't give them stupid handles.

  11. Re:Consitancy on Canonical Designer Demos Ubuntu Context-Aware UI · · Score: 1

    Hahaha ROFL, you trolled using a tired US Healthcare meme!

  12. Alligators on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 1

    Bring in alligators to eat the opossum, and then in the winter, they'll all freeze to death.

  13. RELEASE on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 1

    Leave it to Timothy to eff up the headline. Hey Idiot - it's "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!"

  14. Re:Proof that humans are dumber than dogs on Robots Taught to Deceive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Incidentally, dogs are actually smart enough to intentionally deceive their owners.

  15. Instruction, meet data on New Adobe PDF Zero-Day Under Attack · · Score: 1

    If you separate executable code from data, this doesn't happen.

  16. Mark of the Beast on Biometric IDs For Every Indian Citizen · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And people thought Revelations was silly.

  17. Re:Asking this... on Slashdot? on Can NetBooks & Tablets Co-Exist? · · Score: 1

    If you have a Macbook Air and bought your kid an iPad, you're entirely the wrong demographic to claim to represent anyone but the top 5% of the economy.

  18. Re:Who says DirectDraw is going away? on Breathing New Life Into Old DirectDraw Games · · Score: 1

    You say that like its a bad thing.

  19. Mean, median, mode, lame on ISPs Lie About Broadband "Up To" Speeds · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The mean is not the maximum. Remember grade school math?

  20. Roland Piquipaille rides again ! on Linux Wall Warts Small On Size, Big On Possibilities · · Score: 1

    How is this article not an old-news, dupe, blatant Slashvertisement?

  21. Relevance??? on Julian Assange To Write For Swedish Tabloid · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So his site hosted some content provided by someone else, and now we care what he does in his personal life?

    I know, I know, I'm a troll, blah blah blah.

    I'm MUCH more interested in the people who provide the CONTENT for Wikileaks. This guy is just another Drudge.

  22. Re:The Canadian example on Why the US Keeps Minting Coins People Hate · · Score: 1

    When in doubt, have your government tell you what to do !1!!

  23. backups are for wimps on How Do You Organize Your Experimental Data? · · Score: 1

    real men upload their stuff to kernel.org and let the world mirror it.

  24. Why do you think Oracle bought Sun? on Oracle Sues Google For Infringing Java Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not for MySQL (to kill) or their overpriced shitty hardware (to commoditize). They bought Sun for Java - you know how many other companies Oracle might have by the short and curlies now?

  25. Time spent at the pump on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    I drive a diesel VW that routinely gives me 700+ miles per tank. As a result, I only need to go to the station once every few weeks. Contrast this to some 15 mpg SUV where you're gassing up weekly, or worse. What's your time worth to you?
