  1. Re:In Slashdotters Pants. on Quantum State Created In Largest Object Yet · · Score: 1

    I could pull it off with just a red stapler.

  2. Re:This is Masatoshi Ishikawa on Japanese Researchers Develop World's Fastest Book Scanner · · Score: 1

    If they mount that hand on BigDog, we'd all have a pretty cool robotic overlord to welcome.

  3. Re:Faster than you think on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 1

    Python would definitely be a good choice, but the kids risk not being able to understand the Compiling joke.

  4. High-res photo... on Earliest "Writing" On 60,000-Year-Old Eggshells · · Score: 2, Informative

    We need some better pics.
    From home it looks now, my best bet is that it's just an ornament of some sort.

    This looks somewhat better than the pics in the summary link. (Or have I not found the good ones?)

  5. Re:that's the great thing about criminals on Fugitive's Updated Facebook Status Leads To His Arrest · · Score: 1

    And it you're smart, there are still many ways to make money legally too.

  6. Re:Hamburg, Germany has this for years on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 1

    Classical music might improve the trip when on certain other drugs, so be careful not to get the wrong effect there ;)
    I bet they just wanted to make everyone a little happier with that stunt - if they wanted to make the druggies miserable, they should have chosen some kind of loud, obnoxious and terrifying music (don't want to give any modern examples) - but that would make everyone miserable.

  7. Re:Encryption? on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    With TrueCrypt, you could have 2 encrypted volumes on the same flash drive. Just give them the password of the 'decent' one and they can't derive that there is more than one installed, unless you give yourself out.
    They call it Plausible Deniability.

  8. Encryption? on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    He could have just encrypted it! Wait... if he was thinking he could get away with that, he must have been too dumb to encrypt it.

  9. Re:the drive was surgically recovered. on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    That would have been pretty cruel, since he would have probably died from internal bleeding, and they'd have nobody to accuse.

  10. Re:One pancreas, please on Printing Replacement Body Parts · · Score: 1

    If their most optimistic guesstimate is 5 years, then by the time that gets FDA (or equivalent) approval, that will be even further away.
    Looks like we are dealing with one of those 20-years-from-now technologies that stay 20 years away no matter what.

  11. Re:Invetech? on Printing Replacement Body Parts · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's because you haven't submitted that TPS rep... bone marrow sample.

  12. Re:If I google go... on Google Go Capturing Developer Interest · · Score: 1

    I still get golang.org on 4th place after:
    1) go.com
    2) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)
    3) www.gotransit.com

    Go

  13. Re:If I google go... on Google Go Capturing Developer Interest · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's still surprising to see the Go Programming language on the 4th place when searching for "Go".
    How could it be so high based on just incoming links alone? It seems rather unpopular, considering how few of us ./ users know of it.

  14. Re:WTF on 8-Year Fan-Made Game Project Shut Down By Activision · · Score: 1

    They could still try to work on it anonymously. They are not trying to make money of it, I assume.
    Hosting it in some pro-free-speech country could be a good idea too.
    Just make it hard for the lawyers to try to close it down, and the company would have to change their position and become pro-tweaker to save face and save money at the same time.

  15. Re:Easy on 8-Year Fan-Made Game Project Shut Down By Activision · · Score: 1

    King's Crusade.
    King's Adventure.

    Just changing the name should give those lawyers some headache, but it's no guarantee that they will cease to bug the developers further on.

  16. Re:Not Completely True on Independent Programmers' No-Win Scenario · · Score: 1

    The passive income perk that comes with being a independent software developer far outweighs the possible risks.
    I have been selling my shareware back when I was at school/uni, have a job now, but am planning to go back to being independent in the near future - can't beat the motivation and pleasure of hard but fulfilling work for yourself.

  17. Re:The downside of internet anonymity on Confessions of an Internet "Shock Jock" · · Score: 1

    Current vote is one for flame... I find it clever though.

  18. Slashdotted already on The Wii Laptop · · Score: 0

    Since when do we RTFA before posting comments?

  19. Based on population, I can only assume that India, at number 2 aspires to overtake China

    India is only number 2, because China sensors everything already, so there's no statistic for the 'sex' keyword there.

    Back in Soviet Russia they used to say "There's no sex in the USSR", now the Chinese have it the same way.

  20. Re:Wait a minute before the India-bashing begins on Following In Bing's Footsteps, Yahoo! and Flickr Censor Porn In India · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean you don't have a host on you local network dedicated entirely to porn and thus named porn? You might want to reconsider your /. membership.

  21. Re:My guess.... on Is OpenOffice.org a Threat? Microsoft Thinks So · · Score: 1

    They want the candidate to engage in open-source projects, so they could subvert these projects by riddling them with nasty bugs. Reasonable logic on behalf of MS.

  22. Re:Right on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 1

    There is a video about the upcomming sequel to Modern Warfare and it claims to be ultra-realistic.

  23. Re:And Yet He Won't Pay a Penny on Spammer Lance Atkinson Fined $16 Million · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...where he would pay the fine or go to jail and share a cell with men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

  24. English Shell Code...? on English Shell Code Could Make Security Harder · · Score: 2, Funny

    unzip; strip; touch; finger; grep; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; fsck; fsck; umount; sleep;

  25. Re:Official report on Cops Mistakenly Donate 25 Pounds of Pot to Prison · · Score: 2, Funny

    Destroyed in a series of small fires, that is.
