  1. eBay? on Student Finds 5000-Year-Old Chewing Gum · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the going price would be for it on eBay?

  2. Excellent Blacks on LG Phillips Patents Oil and Water Display · · Score: 5, Funny

    They expect to get excellent blacks (the bane of digital display technologies) by using motor oil from my 1999 Saturn.

  3. Re:Expanding Universe? on Astronomers Witness Whopper Galaxy Collision · · Score: 1

    Take a bucket of water. Dump it out on a flat surface. All of the water will be expanding from the place you poured it out from, but there still will be "collisions" from various "droplets" of water.

  4. Penny Arcade's Take on I Heart Bees Again - Halo 3's Iris ARG · · Score: 1
  5. Re:NASA Called... on Fermi Paradox Predicting Humankind's Future? · · Score: 1

    Does that imply that there exists a person on Slashdot with a sufficiently low UID to give orders to NASA?

    Is it me?

  6. Big Deal. on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 1, Funny

    So Google lost some cache...they have a market cap of over $140 Billion, no biggie.

  7. Free Movies, really sales? on Sony Set to Market Blu-ray as Winner of Format War · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Also to note...All PS3's came with a coupon for a free Blu-Ray movie. How many of those were included in the strong sale numbers?

  8. Next up... on First Mobile Device with Rollable Display · · Score: 1

    Now all we need is our flying cars!

  9. Re:Storm in a tea cup on Flickr To Abandon Early Adopters · · Score: 1

    This "old skool" thing is simply ridiculous, ok so you discovered Flickr maybe 6 months before other people did - there are no prizes for this and it has no effect whatsoever on your value to society or as a person in general !

    Aha! Here your argument falls apart. This is the kind of nonsense I would expect from someone with a slashdot id > half a mill.

    Queue the 3 digit slashdot id replies....

  10. Benefit of Strategy Guides on How Strategy Guides Affected Gaming · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The reason I use them is because I appreciate how much time is put into making a modern game. I want to make sure that I don't miss any parts of the game.

    Usually I will play through the game once on my own, but then use the strategy guide to go through a second time and hit all the side quests.

  11. I'd rather watch it at home.. on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    Trust me, I have seen a lot of movies both in the theater and at home (LoTR Trilogies, Ice Age, etc). The picture/sound quality in my home theater creates a lot fuller, more entertaining experience.

    Plus I don't have to deal with gum on the floor, cell phones, and noisy people. Home theater equipment is dropping in price very quickly, I think this is the theaters biggest concern, not how fast a movie goest to DVD.

  12. Re:Yes, very on Dual-core Systems Necessary for Business Users? · · Score: 1

    Why settle for 100 inches?

  13. Re:three words on Region-free PS3 · · Score: 1

    It's this sort of "forget about it, I don't care" mentality that is allowing corporations to steadily erode our rights. It gives the corporations the artistic license to experiment with new and whacky control schemes and see which ones stick and which ones cause a backlash.

    Yes, that attitude is very similar to this one.

  14. I paid for this education... on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 1

    I never liked strict professors, ones that took attendance, or dictated the way you learned the class material. It is the professor's job to make an education available, and fairly grade the student on how well they learned the material presented. In college, the student directly pays for that education. Therefore, the student can choose to learn in any manner they want. If that is using a laptop to take notes, and only showing up to class once a week, that is the student's decision, not the professors.

  15. Re:How did they measure it ? on Lab Produces 3.6 Billion Degree Gas · · Score: 1

    I read this article on PhysOrg.com http://www.physorg.com/news11538.html (yes I'm to lazy to HTML'ize that link)

    But you had the energy to type out HTML'ize?

  16. Re:Brighter in the morning? on Why Don't You Sleep On It? · · Score: 1

    However, during REM sleep, your brain is at a very high level of metabolic and electrical activity, and is doing things like reinforcing long term memory.

    So my brain gets defragged every night?

  17. Copper Shortage on Plan To Bomb Mars For Signs of Climate Change · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Scientists are planning on launching huge copper slugs at Mars...

    But where will they find all of that copper?

  18. PETA on Sony Kills off Aibo, Qrio, Qualia · · Score: 1

    In other related news, PETA expresses their displeasure in Sony killing Aibo.

  19. Only one way to be sure... on Antispyware Shootout · · Score: 2, Funny
    and I think the reality is that you if you are truly to clean a machine out, you're going to need to use like three - five of these.

    Actually, I only need one method to make sure that the machine is truly clean:
    format c:
  20. Re:All together now... on World's Tallest Building Causing Earthquakes? · · Score: 1

    You're right - this link shows there were over 17 active pirates in 2005 alone, and that's not including other piracy-related groups such as buccaneers or raiders.

    Or the RIAA.

  21. Re:Vunerability counts say nothing. on Firefox Exploit Adds Fuel to Browser Security Feud · · Score: 2, Funny

    To get security you have to spend a metric-fuckton of CPU cycles.

    How many Volkswagon Beetles does it take to carry a metric-fuckton?

  22. Downside? on The New Face Lift · · Score: 1

    The chance it will work is around 50% and experts have expressed safety and ethical concerns about the procedure. The recipient would have to take powerful anti-rejection drugs for life, which carry considerable long-term health risks...

    So what's the downside?

  23. Re:I certainly hope on Retailers Press For Unified HD DVD Format · · Score: 1

    I agree. What we need to do is tell all of our non-techie friends that Blu-Ray is better. Maybe we can actually have the better format win this time...

  24. MS Business Plan on Computer Demand Boosts MS Profits · · Score: 5, Funny
    1. Design operating system with poor security.
    2. People throw away old computers with malware.
    3. Sell more licenses to operating system.
    4. Profit!!!
  25. Re:Condescension in submission text on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    No, no, no....we really need to know how many of these things would be equivalent to 1 VW Beetle.
