  1. Re:Brazil killed it on Google Kills Orkut To Focus On YouTube, Blogger and Google+ · · Score: 1

    True. We Brazilians even coined a term in Portuguese: "orkutizar" ("orkutize"), that is, invade and ruin with crappy stuff a service that was good once.
    For the record, many of us are not proud of it though.

  2. Re:Obviously not quite true on Fasting Triggers Stem Cell Regeneration of Damaged, Old Immune System · · Score: 1

    Fasting is different of malnutrition. Fasting is just pause your healthy diet for some time. Malnutrition is not having an adequate diet for long periods or for life. The latter is not healthy for obvious reasons. The former can be healthy since your body has reserves of nutrients and fasting just make the body to use them. You'll not suffer any harm for fasting, if done correctly.

  3. Re:Perfect time for a Descent reboot on It's Time For the Descent Games Return · · Score: 1

    main problem with it was your head doesnt turn 360 degrees in 6 axis

    Actually it would be pretty shitty to control the ship with your head movement.
    It doesn't need to. Make the ship move by the controllers command, but if you move your head, you would move your head inside the cockpit, that is, you'd be able to see the side windows, the instruments above you, etc. The game would even show additional information in "displays" inside the cockpit, kind of stuff that you don't need to see all the time, only when needed. But such feature should demand a real preparation of the game for the Oculus/Morpheus/whatever, not only an image adjustment.

  4. Perfect time for a Descent reboot on It's Time For the Descent Games Return · · Score: 1

    Because of Oculus Rift. It not only would make a fucking amazing experience, but the immersion and 3D effect of the Oculus would really ADD to the gameplay, especially when using the 3D map, and it even could be included as an "holografic HUD minimap".

  5. Re:Used to be able to dream lucidly when ... on Electric Stimulation Could Help You Control Your Dreams · · Score: 2

    I still do, at 30 years old. Especially when I sleep at evenings, it's almost certain that I will have a lucid dream, sometimes I incorpore the sounds around me in my dream, even whole conversations.
    And yes, is's totally cool when I am able to fly in my dreams, even when sometimes I can't control my flight.

  6. Quick Aleph! on How 3D Printer Maker Aleph Objects Pushes the Open Source Envelope · · Score: 2

  7. It would be amazing if Apple... on Wozniak To Apple: Consider Building an Android Phone · · Score: 1

    ... ah forget about it. FUCK SLASHDOT BETA. The coments aren't even working here, all I've got is a stupid message "Shazbot! We ran into some trouble getting the comments. Try again... na-nu, na-nu!".
    Fuck you Dice Holdings.

  8. Yes, but... on Tesla's Having Issues Charging In the Cold · · Score: 1

    "Have you solved the icing problem?"

  9. Re:Upate to the most current on New Windows XP Zero-Day Under Attack · · Score: 1

    You'd rather create a virtual machine, map your physical parallel port to the VM (it's easy in VMWare at least), turn off the VM's network adapter and install your legacy CNC software in there. Turn it on only when you need to use the CNC. Use a secure/modern OS in the physical machine.

  10. Re:Now we only have to figure out what it does on Whole Human Brain Mapped In 3D · · Score: 5, Funny

    We will not only understand how the human brain works, we will finally understand A WOMAN!

  11. Came into my mind... on Teen's Biofuel Invention Turns Algae Into Fuel · · Score: 1

    she connected a cut-up orange to a clock with wire and watched it tick

    A Clock Work with Orange? :)

  12. Now Hiring on Archaeologists Discover Lost City In Cambodian Jungle · · Score: 3, Funny

    They are now hiring more archaeologists for the exploration. Requirements: must be able to run more than 10k meters in Temple Run.

  13. Re:Good job on Astronomers Probe Mysterious Gas In Titan's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    so far we've already got three fart jokes and one random insult

    Welcome to human race.

  14. Well... on How Does a Single Line of BASIC Make an Intricate Maze? · · Score: 1

    At least it would make a nice geeky retro screensaver.

  15. Re:Dear Windows 7 users. on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    The wall is a little steep, I'm sure you can all make it though. The grass is greener on the other side, honest.

    Someone who betrays Dumbledore do not deserve my trust.

  16. Re:Doesn't work unless... on Google Awarded Face-To-Unlock Patent · · Score: 1

    A simpler solution is to verify if the image has slightly alterations over time, or to require that the person to blink or do any other thing.

  17. Re:Solution. on James Webb Space Telescope Closer To the Axe · · Score: 1

    Not gonna work. They will use it exclusively as a spy satellite, and it will not make any science.

  18. Re:um are companies really this dumb? on Chinese City Wants To Build a Censorship-Free Hub · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Realy low cost service. There are lots of companies that don't give a shit about privacy, they only care about budget cuts. Especialy those companies who deal with other people data, not theirs.

  19. Re:Yeah, Right on Instant Quantum Communication Is Near · · Score: 1

    I'm sure any researcher who so much as hints that he's actually close to a breakthrough on that topic quietly disappears in the night.

    Don't worry, he will reappear in another place, "alive" again and unchanged.

  20. Re:What happened? on Americans Favor Moratorium On New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 2

    Eh? The reactors at the Fukushima no.1 complex were hit by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, THEN a 12m high tsunami, and THEN several explosions.

    I wonder what would happen if such disasters had hit a dam or a thermal gas/coal plant...

  21. Re:Developing countries, not US on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    Ahem. Alien Swarm is free because it's not very good.

    What about Portal? Last year it was offered for free for a few days. And it was not only a "come-on" for me, it was a big red carpet welcome.
