  1. Re:Past a certain point on Massively Parallel Computer Built From Single Layer of Molecules · · Score: 1

    And with all those people to track, a machine that can perform many parallel operations, is just what they need!

  2. Re:A joke. on Highly Efficient Oxygen Catalyst Found · · Score: 1

    H2O walks into a Barium and says, "Lets split"

  3. Re:Hydrogen on Highly Efficient Oxygen Catalyst Found · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are some very useful things carbon can be turned into, other than coal. Imagine if you have solar panels/nuclear reactor providing energy, you split your water and CO2 and you get H2, O2 and C. I wonder just how many useful compounds are made up of those 3 elements.

  4. Re:Hydrogen on Highly Efficient Oxygen Catalyst Found · · Score: 1

    Hydrogen is such a clingy bitch sometimes.

  5. Re:Why are they such assholes? on Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name · · Score: 1

    You make it sound like these things grow on trees.

  6. Re:Doesn't inducing small quakes prevent large one on Minor Quakes In the UK Likely Caused By Fracking · · Score: 1

    What fault line is the UK on, and how often have they had quakes measuring 3.0?

  7. Re:His Other Inventions on Light Barrier Repels Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    An X-box Kinect hooked up to a rail-gun.

  8. Re:Mosquito Nets on Light Barrier Repels Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Because mosquito nets have clearly solved the problem, right?

    Also, nets are quite uncomfortable, as they restrict the flow of air, making sleeping in them stuffy.

  9. Re:FTL Mosquitoes? on Light Barrier Repels Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    There's something deliciously cruel about lying there, 95-100% unclothed, and the mozzie can look, but not touch.

  10. Re:What an interesting chap on The Physics of Jump Rope · · Score: 1

    So the Jump rope observations could lead to some breakthrough String Theory discoveries?

  11. Re:Endorsed by Glenn Beck on Carbonite Privacy Breach Leads To Spam · · Score: 1

    *donning whoosh proof clothing*

    It should be noted that Boba Fett was initially against the freezing into carbonite "He's worth more to me alive" "You'll be suitably compensated"

    It was Vader who endorsed the product, if anyone.

  12. Re:This is news? on Carbonite Privacy Breach Leads To Spam · · Score: 1

    You don't even need your own domain. If you use Gmail, you can have 'yourname+facebook@gmail.com' filtered to your facebooklabel, and you'll know when you get spam to that address where it came from.You 'own' all the yourname+anything@gmail.com addresses.

  13. Clever, very clever. on 1st Strikes Issued Under New Zealand Anti-Piracy Laws · · Score: 1

    I'd never heard of Taio Cruz until now. Now he/she is in the same sentance as Gaga and Rihanna. You think this is a form of using the Streisand effect for your own gain? Who want's to bet the last one was added in deliberately to boost awareness?

  14. Partial Password on Ask Slashdot: How To Securely Share Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Create an Extremely Long Password (like a sentence of 6+ words) and share part of it with each sibling. Tell them THIS if my master password. When you die, you leave instructions on how to combine the pieces of the password they know into the full thing, and they have access to everything.

  15. Re:Taught? on Why Fingernails On a Chalkboard Sound Painful · · Score: 1

    You get the same effect when you scrape a knife/fork the wrong way on a plate when eating. Surely this should be control enough, as it's a similar painful sound, without the pain associated with physical discomfort?

  16. Re:Cheapasses on DARPA: Reconstruct Shredded Docs, Win $50K USD · · Score: 1

    You really think that when somebody does come up with the solution to this that they will just get the $50k and then be done with DARPA?

    "Thanks bud, have a nice life"

    No?

    I didn't think so either.

  17. Re:They've actually done that for years on DARPA: Reconstruct Shredded Docs, Win $50K USD · · Score: 1

    I do the same thing with emails.

  18. Re:It really is time on Apple Granted Patent For Slide To Unlock · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the 12 years on average it takes to get from idea to market for any drug.

  19. Nothing ever changes on German Paleontologists Find a 'Near-Perfect' Dinosaur Fossil · · Score: 1

    Even 135million years ago, the top 2% received special treatment, ducking out of fossilization.

  20. Re:More Predators. on Earth Officially Home To 7 Billion Humans · · Score: 1

    In every 7th grade on the planet put a pole that has a metal ring at the six foot level that has a million volts at 100 amps.
    Do not put a fence or railing around it but put signs in every common language for the area on the pole saying, "Warning one million volts at 100 amps if you touch it you will die."

    You also kill off all the people who question authority. Government people, are you reading this?

  21. Re:It's only fair use if you go to court... on Universal Uses DMCA To Get Bad Lip Reading Parody Taken Down · · Score: 1

    pokeherface's sister.

  22. Re:Three origins. on Winged Robots Hint At the Origins of Flight · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the fish.

  23. Re:What if... on How To Stop the Next WikiLeaks · · Score: 2

    Care to explain why you have so many blind people on your staff? Is it some kind of security measure?

  24. Sharing Reader items on Google+ on Google Reader's Social Features Merging With Google+ · · Score: 1

    This is copied from elsewhere. You can already great a custom 'send to' using the following:

    Gear > Reader settings > Send to > Create custom link
    Name: Google+
    URL: https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/confirm?url=${url}
    Icon URL :https://ssl.gstatic.com/s2/oz/images/favicon.ico

    It enables you to send things from reader to your stream easily. All this announcement really is, is a formalization of the above 'hack'. This is because buzz is dead and instead of sharing there by default, you will now share to plus.

  25. Re:Removed Reader link from Gmail on Google Reader's Social Features Merging With Google+ · · Score: 1

    They only moved it to the 'more' as, through watching all it's users, they determined that the other links were more widely used. No problem for me as I have gmail and reader as pinned tabs.
