  1. $250,000 for anyone who scientifically prooves it on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Dr. Hovind's $250,000 Offer
    Formerly $10,000 offered since 1990

    I have a standing offer of $250,000 to anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* My $250,000 offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a religious belief.
    Put your money where your mouth is.

  2. upgrade? on Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Is is still called an upgrade when it flops so badly?

  3. Re:Are there any good uses? on Gillette Pulls RFID Tags In UK Amid Protests · · Score: 1

    One of the good uses of the technology is package tracking. Imagine if you will a large semi trailer being inventoried in 90 seconds. I remember checking in semi loads of Hallmark cards by the pallet load. With RFID, one sweep of the scanner and I can know exactly how many of what I have on the trailer. Think of the supermarket, I'm reminded of pictures of people going through the checkout line with a cart full of groceries and never removing them to to have barcodes scanned. RFID tags can accomplish this with no invasion of privacy if they are used the right way.

  4. There's always a bigger fish. on More on Underwater Gliders · · Score: 1

    Bit of a loss when some larger fish sees this thing as lunch isnt it?

  5. Mouth Control? on A Humanitarian Engineering Problem · · Score: 1

    Can she control her mouth? If you take a small baby's chew toy and cut it open, insert a small pressure switch and clip it to her pillow, she could chomp down on it and set off an alarm. One of those cheap personal alarms (you know the kind that screams a few db's from a AAA battery) could be hacked to wire the switch to the one in the chew toy., wrap the wires in heat shrink tubing and put the alarm in the husband's pillow. you may want to muffle the pizoelectric speaker since they are very loud, he could suffer hearing loss.

  6. Barco Or Christie on Will Digital Cinema Wipe-Out Today's Movie Theaters? · · Score: 1

    From my work with TI's DLP division, I would have to personally reccomend the Barco. I am not an employee, but was contracted to do work for DLP through my last employer.

  7. Re:I'd rather have a 1970s LED calculator watch... on Touchscreen Watch · · Score: 1

    Here is the link to Casio's touch screen watch. It had 2 LCD's on top of one another so the watch display would turn off and the calc display would turn on when entering calc mode. I had one way back when, and it was nice. I only wish they would have re introduced the databank line with this technology.

  8. Portable web server on Toshiba Bluetooth Portable Storage Device · · Score: 1

    Brings a whole new spin to the idea that someone could walk off with you computer

  9. Books vs. MP3 on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    How is this any different than downloading free MP3's instead of buying the album?

  10. Re:The USA PATRIOT Act to the Rescue! on Distributed Computing Program Hidden in Kazaa · · Score: 1

    Something to think about.

  13. Truly Amazing! on CRT Eavesdropping: Optical Tempest · · Score: 1

    According to the article, with the aid of a device called a telescope I can see someone's screen from a long distance. What will they think of next, using a magnifying glass to see thing that are very very small?

  16. Confessions from a slashdot poster on Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll · · Score: 1

    I personally rig every slashdot poll to be the rusult I desire.

  17. Actually... on Xbox Sequel Rumors · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not really so super-secret. I saw a prototype of the HomeStation that was on display at the Microsoft TV booth at NATPE (National Association of Television Porduction Executives) in Vegas last year. It was running on a watered down version of the then Windows Whistler (XP) code. It had interactive TV capabilities as well as Tivo functionality. Looked very nice then, but was not fully functional, but the prospects looked very nice.

  21. Re:who give a flying... on RMS Running For GNOME Board Of Directors · · Score: 1

    Pray tell what should we all be using for a GUI in stead of X?

  22. It should all be covered... on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 1

    When you buy a TV, you put up bunny ears, whatever you get is free. YOu paid for the TV and whatever content that comes your way is free. When you bought a computer, and sign up with an ISP, people have the same attitude as they do with TV, whatever they can get off the net should be free, after all they are paying a monthly charge for access right? That's why a majority of the huddled masses feel that napster is squeaky clean, these people would never go to the record store and steal an album, but getting it free off napster? No problem. Same situation.

  23. All your paperclip are belong to us... on The End Of The Paperclip · · Score: 3

    In the mouseovers on the buttons at the left of clippy's site eventually clippy says, "All your base are belong to us!" Couldn't believe it! Enjoy!
