  1. Re:Slashdot carrying Republican water again on Good News For US Fusion Research · · Score: 1

    Well you know the old joke... we have been 30-40 years away from practical fusion for a few decades now :)... eventually we'll get there... but it's only 30-40 years away

  2. Precursor Google Galaxy: Aliens watch ur rooftops on World's Largest Digital Camera Project Passes Critical Milestone · · Score: 2

    any unauthorized spaceships, doomsday stars and other prohibited devices should not be left in orbit without at least cloaking :p

  3. Did the yeti just fart again on Massive Methane Release In the Arctic Region · · Score: 1

    uh oh, we're in trouble :p

  4. a few bored billionaires go asteroid hunting on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Fortunately for science, running out of things to do, billionaires have decided to take up things to a new frontier... whether it be space x, blue origin or now this... maybe there is hope for the future of space exploration

  5. Re:Hardcore math time. on Billionaires and Polymaths Expected To Unveil a Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Illusion or not, I believe it's all relative, depends on the point of view I guess :p

  6. Re:You have to be kidding on Accountability, Not Code Quality, Makes iOS Safer Than Android · · Score: 2

    iLOL, what makes you think so :p

  7. Re:"has kept Apple's iOS ecosystem free of viruses on Accountability, Not Code Quality, Makes iOS Safer Than Android · · Score: 1

    My thought exactly... it is not necessarily because a platform is currently less plagued that it is more secure and I won't be splitting hairs w/ you... part of the reason is I am not really sure how I would go about splitting hairs anyway :p

  8. XNA is awesome, can't wait to see silverlight ver on Artificial DNA Replicates and 'Evolves' · · Score: 1

    :p

  9. Re:No on Open Source Electric Cars — Good Idea Or Not? · · Score: 1

    it is not because something is a commercial flop that the idea is bad... apple worked on a tablet a while back, the newton and it was a flop... microsoft has been working on windows mobile for a while (ok bad example, please don't hit me :p )

  10. I'm sorry I am late, had 2 cvs update my wheels :) on Open Source Electric Cars — Good Idea Or Not? · · Score: 1

    no, not the whole car, the actual wheels micro code... that does not sound right :)

  11. Re:Google Maps for the Oceans? on NOAA Releases New Views of Earth's Ocean Floor · · Score: 1

    must be lucy at it again in the sky with diamonds :)

  12. Re:Been waiting for this since the 90's... on NOAA Releases New Views of Earth's Ocean Floor · · Score: 2

    What do we really know about outer space... up until recently we were not sure there were planets in other solar systems, we were not even sure there was water on the moon... so it is a fair question, what do we really know about outer space?

    And yes I would like to learn more about the ocean floor too :)

  13. looking for ideas? u mean money and steady vision on NASA Looking For Ideas To Explore Mars · · Score: 1

    with money and a steady vision (not changing every few years), it should be a straight forward

  14. Boeing, a phone? with wings? :p on Boeing Preparing an Ultra-Secure Smartphone · · Score: 1

    am I the only that saw the headline boeing making a phone and was like... ha, say what? :) yes, I am sure they got the competences for that but not their core business as far as I know

  15. Harry Potter Thunderbolts? on Expect Hundreds of Thunderbolt Devices, Says Intel · · Score: 1

    am I the only one who thought of broomsticks when he read the headline?

  16. How many plasma flashlights for a plasma TV on Battery-Powered Plasma Flashlight Makes Short Work of Bacteria · · Score: 1

    and can it do 3D? :p

  17. Re:From Where? on New Engine Raises Possibility of Cheap Travel To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Indeed, in the right position, adequate life support, with a fart loud enough (and by loud I mean powerful... we all know there is > no sound in space)... you could get to the moon in no time :p

  18. "God does not play dice." Was he right about that?

    who knows :), it's not like anyone we know can confirm or deny with certainty what his schedule... heck, with parallel universes there might be a universe where he does play dice... or there might be a quantic universe where he does play dice and not play dice at the same time until one finds out :)

  19. Re:She's part of the problem on What Book Publishers Should Learn From Harry Potter · · Score: 1

    I believe her books are about wizards, not pirates :)

  20. Werent we supposed 2 run out of ips a while back? on Akamai To Offer IPv6 To All In April · · Score: -1

    every year we hear that this year is ipv6 year, get a law to switch to ipv6 only... everyone will upgrade... this is almost like linux, year of the desktop... this is getting ridiculous... yes it will disturb some things but give people 6 months warning and switch... internet has not been around for ever so it is not like it is impossible... and for the few cases it is, put them behind a nat, case closed

  21. Re:This is what he's actually good at on James Cameron Begins His Deep-Sea Dive · · Score: 2

    This is slashdot, the average reader does not know much about seduction except through biology books... the closest he'll ever get to nail a college student is if he takes a hammer, nails & bangs towards the wall :)... praying he actually manages to aim in the right direction... he could probably build a robot that will do that with precision though maybe even imitate a woman :)

  22. It's not a frickin truck! on 'Space Freighter' On Its Way to Resupply International Space Station · · Score: 1

    call it a space ship, a vehicule, a cargo ship, call it anything you want but unless it has wheels, a boat hunk and is driven over a road, it's not a truck... we can't even get an elevator to space, let alone a highway

  23. Re:Well, there it is: on Websites Can Detect What Chrome Extensions You've Installed · · Score: 1

    Some would suggest that if you're using IE you're already screwed

    Ahh.. but that type of screwing can't get you pregnant.

    who knows... imagine a woman is using a period tracking extension and the person is mislead to think she won't get pregnant

  24. Somebody's bitter about business cards today :) on Business Cards the Latest Internet Casualty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    not knowing who is who is not specific to business cards... if you are not careful about who you add on your social network, you end up with a collection of contacts you have no idea why you have them.

    business cards are relevant if you handle them properly.. if you can not remember who is who, put more info about the person on the business card or when you enter them into whatever software you use for contacts. Software exists to automate scanning business cards too.

    if you are not printing business cards, imho, it is a mistake. not only some people are not computer savvy but it looks good when you have one.

    Saying business cards need to die reminds me of how 20 years ago I read articles about how paper would die by year 2000 because of computer exchanges... a lot of bla bla... but business as usual

  25. Surprising :) on Psychic Ability Claim Doesn't Hold Up In New Scientific Experiments · · Score: 2

    I bet psychics did not see that coming :)
