  1. Re:lolwut on Apple To Hold iPhone 4 Press Conference · · Score: 1

    Flurry of job openings at Apple have opened for left handers, in a Mortal Kombat style tournament to find out who is to be the Left Hand Job

  2. Re:There are only three sports on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I recently came from Spain and attended a bullfight in Seville... I didn't understand what all the protesters were campaigning about.

    Then I saw the bullfight.

    It was torture, plain and simple.

    I'm glad I saw it to witness the reality of it and next time I'm there, I'll join the protest.

  3. Re:this is the part that blew my mind: on Is Diaspora the Future of Free Software Funding? · · Score: 1

    yup.. they all have Facebook accounts ...;-p

  4. necessity of water on Microbial Life Found In Trinidadian Hydrocarbon Lake · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered why the insistence of water for extra terrestial life... why do you have to base it from whats abundantly around you in your tiny micro speckle of the universe and project it on everything? And now they're finding other types of life forms on earth too? Colour me non-surprised.

  5. What came first, the Apple or Nintendo? on Heavy US Demand Delays iPad's Worldwide Release · · Score: 1
    Anyone else getting deja vu with the shortage supply of Wii's that was always being reported in order to keep in the public news and get more sales with people starting to think "wow, so good that it's sold out already? I should get on the list too!".

    Simple marketing ploy, nothing more.

  6. Re:Skills on Japanese Astronaut Gets Designer "Space Suit" · · Score: 1

    Don't forget aerodynamic feasibility doesn't even appear on the radar for designers! Not all sweeps and curves are aerodynamically beneficient, despite how cool it may look! It's always a constant struggle between Aero and Designers (I work for a highly premium brand) and it's the Aero guys who are battle scarred and broken nosed as they always end up being the ones to compromise and having to make the best out of a brick.

  7. whatever happened? on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 1

    When I saw this, I thought it was Commodore relaunching again - the ones that had lots of designed cases (C-Kin) but priced high like alienware. What happened to them? I had several designs on there.

  10. loot on Professor Ditches Grades For XP System · · Score: 1

    Y'all know the Rogues guild will be by far the wealthiest ... answers to Test 4B you wanted?...

  11. Re:Can't quite pinpoint... on Bethesda Unveils New Co-op Dungeon Crawler · · Score: 1

    The entire point of playing a guitar is to be fun. If you have to spend several hours working on chords before it becomes any fun, what's the point in even playing it? Just ditch it and go play something that's fun from the beginning.

    sopt the difference? Plus I'm not so sure how valid the statement of the ability of playing the guitar being a useful, lifelong skill is... I've survived this long without it and still miles behind others..

  12. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1
    I'm sorry but I couldn't find it in the article about her sitting at her computer. Also, being 3 feet away can mean anything... I could be in another room and be 3 feet away... I could have my back turned and doing something and be 3 feet away...

    I'm not saying anyone is innocent, just that there could be explanations

  13. Re:Dutch Auction on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    yes, a 10,000+ long queue is ideal

  14. Re:Slight maths error. on Man Commutes 1,000 Miles To Work · · Score: 1

    with the way you describe things, you sound like my accountant!

  15. Touchscreen with feedback on Bill Gates Responds To Apple iPad · · Score: 1

    You can get touchscreens that give feedback too. If you touch a button on the screen, you feel a little pulse/vibration through the finger. They're actually quite good as I hate tapping the screen for a touch to register and few seconds later several things happen!

  16. Re:Gyroscopic effect? on Porsche Unveils 911 Hybrid With Flywheel Booster · · Score: 2, Informative

    The flywheel rotates at incredible speeds, tip speeds are at couple of Mach... but it's cased in balistic grade material which will protect everyone should it decide to fall apart.

  17. Re:Excuse me, editors? on Chinese Man Gets 30 Months For Fake Cisco Sales · · Score: 1

    Was there anything in the article that was incorrect? What problem do you have with it?

  18. Re:I remember the day... on Kodak Sues Apple & RIM Over Preview In Cameras · · Score: 1

    Jesus, is that you?

  19. Re:Do not want. on New Color E-Reader Tech To Challenge E-Ink Dominance · · Score: 1

    Thing is, I can't recall last time I read a book that needed 'colour' - the only colour in it was the front/back cover, and even that would have been fine black and white. As features go, being able to display colour text/pictures is actually very low on the list.

    one word: textbook

  20. Re:About time on $300 Sci-Fi YouTube Video Lands $30m Movie Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful
    turning to other sources weren't things Hollywood did before?

    and why complain where they get their ideas if it is a good film?

    For me, this is just an example of it becoming easier for smaller artists/designers/producers etc to be able to show themselves on the world stage, nothing more.

  21. Re:Kick the Pig to Win an iPOD * FLASH * FLASH * on Google Says Ad Blockers Will Save Online Ads · · Score: 1

    and can i add to the list the rollover ads that suddenly fill your screen!

    hrmm... weird... my first page was all links to various slashdot pages like main page, games, hardware, interviews, news etc

  23. What's the correlation? on For September, Book-Related Apps Overtook Games On iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm sorry if I've misread... but from my understanding, there are more book-type apps released, not apps sold/used?

  24. Re:But there _are_ already printed circuit !! on Xerox Claims Printable Electronics Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    printed with a printer or etched with acid/UV?
