  1. Re:A string of meaningless words!! on Microsoft's Ethical Guidelines · · Score: 1

    ? I never saw a screen like that.

  2. Re:Microsoft is just misunderstood. on Microsoft's Ethical Guidelines · · Score: 1

    What a cool new verb: to upmod!

  3. Taking pictures of the sun? on The Quietest Sun · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Speaking of the sun, I recently bought a DSLR camera, and I would like to take pictures of the sun with it. Does anyone of you know how to go about that without destroying the camera's sensor or my eyes? What kind of filter do I need? Some people suggested a piece of glass that people use for welding; is that good enough?

  4. Re:USA + Bush = FAIL on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    You forgot Mugabe.

  5. Re:the possible applications are endless... on "Black Silicon" Advances Imaging, Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, or you could cancel all the noise from Airport Schiphol!

  6. Re:when in doubt... on Asus Ships Eee PCs With Malware · · Score: 2

    Why is it that many people suddenly don't seem to learn punctuation and capitalization in school anymore? Your post might be very interesting or insightful but sorry, my eyes hurt just looking at it.

  7. Re:Close, but no cigar on Asus Ships Eee PCs With Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, there's an idea!
     
    /runs off to the shop to buy a spray can of paint.

  8. Re:Moral of the story? on Qantas Blames Wireless For Aircraft Incidents · · Score: 1

    I think with optical they mean there is no ball but a red LED or LASER in the mouse. Aren't all mice optical nowadays? They can be optical AND wireless.

  9. Re:discovery.com on Asteroid Explodes Over Sudan · · Score: 1

    Hm, no wonder we have global warming. The meteors use up all the oxygen.

  10. Re:Short summary isn't always good on How Mobile Phones Work Behind the Scenes · · Score: 1

    So you'd rather survive the crash with a bleeding headwound from a gameboy and no further injuries than just be able to normally use the emergency exit?

  11. Re:Short summary isn't always good on How Mobile Phones Work Behind the Scenes · · Score: 1

    Another thing is that in the case of a crash, you don't want all those mobile phones flying through the plane and injuring people. That's why you are not allowed to use electronic equipment during takeoff and landing.

  12. Re:I dunno.. on 10 IT Power-Saving Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that gives a nice tickly feeling!

  13. Re:I dunno.. on 10 IT Power-Saving Myths Debunked · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not sure I would want to put my balls in the fireplace if the power or gas goes out.

  14. Re:Git... on Easy, Reliable Distributed Storage and Backup? · · Score: 1

    Yep. I have something similar at home too. Works well.

  15. Re:No one deserves this more than Apple on iPhone Antitrust and Computer Fraud Claims Upheld · · Score: 1

    The EU is also looking into that. And also into the fact that as a denizen of one EU country Apple doesn't allow you to buy anything at an online Apple store in another EU country. This is illegal since we have free travelling of people and goods within the EU. It's strange that Aplle has been able to get away with this practice for so long.

  16. Re:Can't listen, Flash only on Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    About your sig: my online bank allows only numbers in the password... sigh.

  17. Re:Can't listen, Flash only on Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    I agree. And why do all these newfangled websites use pictures? I can hardly view any site in my beloved lynx anymore! It's so easy to do it right, why do so many places get it wrong?

  18. Re:Sounds condescending to modern ears on Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    The problem is that it is a very human characteristic, almost like instinct. That's hard to eradicate.

  19. Re:Wait.... aren't we out of helium? on New Type of Atomic Microscope On the Way · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yes, and it isn't Troll either. It's a serious concern for many people. Grow up, moderators.

  20. Digg on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please, this isn't news, speculation can hardly ever be taken serious, and this belongs on Digg, not Slashdot.

  21. Expensive, poisonous... on New Solar Cell Sets World Efficiency Record · · Score: 1

    GaInP and GaInAs are very(?) expensive, and poisonous to boot. I'm not sure this is the right way to go. Imagine having to deal with lots of discarded solar cells made of this stuff.

  22. Re:A toast on On Fourth Launch Attempt, SpaceX Falcon 1 Reaches Orbit · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And let me add that the car was not invented in America.

  23. Re:Fair and balanced on Microsoft Documentation Declared Unfit For US Consumption · · Score: 2, Informative

    +5 Insightful, LOL! That's the most funny comment moderation I've seen today.

  24. What an extremely bad article on Alarm Raised For "Clickjacking" Browser Exploit · · Score: 1

    I RTFA, and the only things I learned are that:

    1. It's very bad;

    2. They can 'make me click anywhere on the page'

    3. It's very bad.

  25. Re:I can wait on LHC Offline Until April 2009 (Or Longer) · · Score: 1

    Yeah I was wondering. Does it open the gates to the Dungeon Dimensions to let the creatures that live there in?
