  1. A Victory ... provoking thought on Japan Successfully Deploys First Solar Sail In Space · · Score: 1

    Very cool - given the lack of gravity. Definitely a technological win - should lead to other technological advancements. However, with all the "debris" (like micro or larger meteorites) in the solar system (not to mention the outside of our solar system), is this hope for long distance space travel actually practical? Solar sails seem really fragile.

  2. Interesting but ... on Smart Underwear Designed For Military · · Score: 1

    what else can they monitor?

    I think we always receive a "vertical" look at the benefits (I.e., monitor blood pressure, heart rate, etc), and these are good in combat. Along with IPv6 addresses on just about all "elements" on a soldier (I.e., smart gear, location equipment, gps, etc), this adds another element of real-time combat monitoring and has a huge potential to monitor/save lives.

    But, are we being told everything they can glean with these wondrous new underpants?

  3. DAMIT! on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 1

    Yeah - that's the one I think I meant - DAMIT!

  4. Aspergers and Prisons on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 1

    If the data is available, I would be interested in learning the death rate for people with asperger syndrome in prison facilities.
    (Note: Not to excuse his actions of course)

    Inmate: Hey newbie - what's your name?
    Asperger Prisoner: #$@#%@! sir
    (Prison Alarm)

  5. Accelerated test show on Studies Prove BPA Can Cross Placenta To Fetuses · · Score: 1
  6. It's time to let go ... on BIOS Will Be Dead In Three Years · · Score: 1

    DEAD MAN WALKING!

  7. Rather than thinking of this as a problem on Human Gene Patent Challenged In Australian Court · · Score: 1

    ...take it as a challenge to do something else. If the patent is successful, let it serve as the "bar" to beat. It will foster healthy competition and drive innovation. In fact, replace whatever they used with amphibian DNA ... sex changing amphibian DNA. [dramatic music]

  8. Be open minded on OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 2, Funny

    What guy wouldn't want a horses dick? Yeah - you would limit who you can date but talk about a show stopper at a meeting when you whip it out and slap it on the table when you don't have an answer.

  9. Yay! One step closer to Overmind! on Part-Human, Part-Machine Transistor Devised · · Score: 4, Funny

    Overlord1: These brutish simple beings have finally yielded some light at the end of the tunnel.
    Overlord2: Yes, but it will still be a few centuries to perfect, sell, and drive adoption before we can flip the switch and merge them into Overmind.
    Overlord1: Ok - when can I see the Microsoft Project Plan?

  10. Who complained about their services? on CSIRO Sues US Carriers Over Wi-Fi Patent · · Score: 1

    Not me. They can still make money from that. I said consumers should be protected from their mistakes. They keep funds available for legal shielding - I'm merely suggesting an industry practice similar to that for "mistakes" we should not have to help them absorb.

  11. Bracing for impact on CSIRO Sues US Carriers Over Wi-Fi Patent · · Score: 1

    After having to pay for a bullshit data plan for my son's phone on Verizon - part of me is glad they can potentially get it in the butt with this suite. However, I know that the one who will pay for this is me (and all the other users) of their services. How about a law that prohibits these companies from passing on their "mistakes" to the consumers?

  12. NEWS FLASH: Meth Improves Your Memory! on Snails On Methamphetamine · · Score: 1

    is the way I first read this and talk about an excuse for meth users! But I came to my senses and was reminded that we can often extract potentially "good" byproducts from destructive ones. Look for new over the counter drugs promising to improve your memory soon.

  13. This is BAD ... very very bad on Video Gamers Have Power Over Their Dreams · · Score: 1

    I was in a raid of 25 entering the Frostwing Halls in Icecrown Citadel when all of a sudden a bunch of fucking Counter Strike hackers came out and blew our shit away. I mean - WTF?!

    You still don't understand? World of Warcraft is not VAC secured .... that means the CS players can hack! .... oh, never mind!

  14. Nothing to protect - move along on Privacy Machiavellis · · Score: 1

    Why not just post what you don't care about loosing and lie about everything else? On many social sites, I'm 60, 70, or more years old; I live in different cities, and ... yes ... I even lie about the music I like and why I'm on the site. I could give two shits about loosing my Facebook, MySpace, HI5, etc. My friends know it's all BS - but the main purpose is served - we communicate and share.

    It's like what I learned about lending money: Only lend out as much as you can afford never to get back.

    I don't know - maybe I'm missing the point (and I think I'm lucky that I'm not in a position to care)

  15. Shitfuck on Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent · · Score: 1

    According to Google image searches ... it's not only a word ... but an activity as well!

  16. Let the naming ceremony beging on Airship Inflated To Create Monster "Stratellite" · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Great Big Suppository in the Sky

  17. Auto log off on Tabnapping Scams Around the Corner? · · Score: 1

    It's conceivable, especially under this circumstance, that an already open (let's say) Gmail page is re-written. What's the first thought that might come to mind? Oh, it auto logged off - only to have people "log back in". Agreed. This issue has potential. Bring out the fixes - soon!

  18. Because Capitalism on Ninth Suicide At iPhone Factory · · Score: 1

    equals suicide right? I can understand these kind of blind statements when you want a "funny" modifier ... but on a serious story issue such as this - it's just plain ignorant.

  19. Next on Slashdot on Why Overheard Cell Phone Chats Are Annoying · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... Public Masturbation. Taboo or tubular? You decide.

  20. Fuck it on Australian Women Fight Over "Geekgirl" Trademark · · Score: 1

    ... I'm trademarking: and, the, a, of, I, who, what, when, where, and whole list of others ... AND THEN you'll all rue the day!
    (seriously - where does this shit end?)

  21. Talke about NEWS in ACTION! on FTC Takes Out Porn- and Botnet-Spewing ISP · · Score: 1

    What a difference 20+ minutes makes ... it was green when I originally linked it.

  22. Is 3FN 3FN.NET? on FTC Takes Out Porn- and Botnet-Spewing ISP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If so, it still seems eager to take my business:
    http://www.webhostingstuff.com/company/3FNNET.html

  23. DON'T MOVE! on Call In the Military To Blast Rogue Satellite? · · Score: 1

    We've dispatched FBI agents to your location. We don't know how you got one, but you must obviously have a copy of the Military's training program ... you know, the modified (for military use) version of Atari's Asteroids where the rocket ship is replaced by the X-37B and the asteroids by rouge satellites.

  24. Re:Clusters? on Record-Breaking Galaxy Cluster Found · · Score: 2, Informative

    Either people are avoiding the obvious or maybe it's not so obvious ...
    It would be called a cluster f*ck.

    Sorry - after "clusterbation" and "galaxy bang" ... I had to jump in to prevent any further tangents.

  25. That sounds more like a on Twitter Bug Lets Users Force Others To Follow Them · · Score: 3, Insightful

    test command embedded into the code that allows "dummy" testing within the development environment. Either way - oops.
