  1. Secure Communications ... on Quantum Computing Using Traditional Transistors · · Score: 4, Insightful

    is great. Until the technology becomes ubiquitous enough that even terrorists have access to it. Then what? It's secure...even from us.

  2. Re:Protein Memory on Storing Data In Cow Guts? · · Score: 1

    Better hope you never confuse your data as jerky...I'd hate to accidentally consume a year's worth of work.

  3. Snipped... on 419ers Diversify Into Assassination Threats? · · Score: 3, Funny

    New weapon for Counterstrike, large shears! Prepare to be snipped!

  4. Re:This is a good thing. on Game with God · · Score: 1

    Realistic sex in games? Slashdotters wouldn't know if it was realistic or not.

  5. Black and White.... on Game with God · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like games where I am god. And if the villagers didn't like it, they got a thrown in the ocean!

    Or I'd feed them to my creature.

  6. I am reminded of... on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    ...only you can prevent forum fires.

  7. Re:Man -- I'm not sure I'd fly first class... on X43-A on to Mach 10 · · Score: 1

    Obviously, first class would be towards the back of the plane. We wouldn't want the rich people to burn, now would we?

    Wait, maybe we do...

  8. Re:Everyone and their mother on eBay Running Trial for Downloadable Music · · Score: 1

    You mean, like a monopoly? Hmm...is it ok as long as it's not Microsoft?

  9. Re:With CD/DVD Rot, tape sounds good on Backup Tapes: Alive And Kicking · · Score: 1

    Yes, plus, when I interned, there's no way CD/DVD backup could've handled the 500GB or more of data that we needed to back up monthly. It just wasn't practical. CD/DVD may work at home and possibly small businesses, but sometimes tape is just the way to go.

  10. Re:Will it hit cinemas? Of course!! on Will LOTR:ROTK Extended Edition Hit Cinemas? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and we'll all take it hook, line, and sinker!

    So, when do I get in line?

  11. Hot Nurses on Robots in Hospitals · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Somehow I see my fantasy of hot nurses going down the drain...

  12. It also helped... on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that Spider-Man 2 opened on June 30.

  13. Re:Biography on MPAA Names Dan Glickman To Replace Jack Valenti · · Score: 1

    When I see USDA, I think of beef. Dan Glickman will now forever be associated with beef in my mind. Or mad cow...

  14. Re:Obligotory reply... on ViewSonic VP2290b Super High-Res Monitor · · Score: 1

    Try lugging that 21" backbreaker up 4 flights of stairs and you'll think twice about how much you love CRTs. :) Ah memories of moving into dorms ...

    Though for 6 grand, I could buy a few 21" monitors and pay some people to move them for me.

  15. 3D! on Metisse - New Looking Glass Alternative · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can just imagine using this 3D desktop with a Sharp 3D display.

    Would mouse pointer movement include depth perception with this setup?

  16. Re:popups are annoying on iVillage Renounces Pop-up Advertising · · Score: 1

    Mozilla rocks! Very few popups bother me except for the occassional crafty one...

    Anyway, I think as far as ads are concerned, Google does it well by just having the text with a link. It couldn't get any simpler, but I find that I'll click on the link more often than any pop up.

    Having popups is good for one thing, if you get good enough at seeing the window pop up, and you can instinctively move the mouse and click to kill the window in less than 0.1 seconds, your sniping skillz in FP shooters will get all that much better!

  17. The problem with fish... on Hitachi's Water-cooled Laptop · · Score: 1

    is that they'll take a dump in your water cooling tank, then if the tank ever breaks, you'll be sitting pretty in some watery filth.

    What next for CPU cooling? Liquid Nitrogen! Haha.

    I thought an interesting read on cooling was this technical blackpaper from arstechnica:

    Peltier Theory
