  1. Re:Audio Shits on The Myriad Ways of Wiring Your Home? · · Score: 1
    I'd write more, but the power just went out, and I have no idea when it might be back. The UPS is howling.

    Let me guess... you live in California?

  2. This Alcatel advisory looks like... on Slashback: Flesh, Porn, Smells · · Score: 1

    ... a slashdot news story, what with the misspellings and all. "volnaroubilituies"? That's got to be the most creative way to spell that word I've seen in a while. At least they ran a spell check before releasing the final copy.

  3. depressed label executives on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1
    "I feel gloomy every time I go on a plane and see how many people are listening to music with their laptops," says a label executive

    Man, this guy's got some serious depression issues going here...

    WIPOsucks.com, and see how they react to it...
    Sorry, you're too late; wiposucks.(com|net|org) are already taken.

  5. Checking for Duplicate Stories? on Laser-equipped 747 · · Score: 1
    Somehow I feel as if we had posted this a while ago - no search found it.
    I'm impressed... I didn't know you guys actually checked for duplicate stories before posting.

  6. Re:What I _REALLY_ would love to see is .. on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 1
    AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-00 = phone
    AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-01 = cell
    AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-02 = fax
    But what happens if I don't want a fax or a pager, but I want 3 voice lines? Or several fax machines, but nothing else? This would be a nice system, except it would need to be tailored for each situation, and then you're back where you started.

  7. Re:Yes it is the exact term you would use. on Mutant Tetrachromat Females Found · · Score: 1
    If the 4 color vision is a good mutation, it will hopefully propogate into the general population eventually (well, half of it anyway :)
    I'm curious... when this has propogated to a measurable percentage of the female population, will their male offspring have a higher change of being colorblind?

  8. Re:Record-breaking? Nope... on 640 Gig HD in 1U Of Rack Space · · Score: 1
    With the Voyager(TM), you get up to 144 GB of data in 1U (1.75 inches), and an additional 288 GB of storage in a 1U optional disk array called StorageArray(TM), for a total of 432 GB in 2U
    Actually, it's only 432 GB in 2U of rack space.

  10. Re:My Opinion. on CERN May Have Found The Higgs Boson · · Score: 1
    You would not be reading this website today without CERN. The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Burness Lee from CERN and was given its initial boost by Particle Physicists as means to aid their international collaborations.

    Are you sure? I thought it was Al Gore. Oh, well...
