  1. Stone discs? on Start-Up Claims Immortality For Data With 'Stone-Like' Disc · · Score: 1

    Oh great, they hired Moses...

  2. Too big for me on Do Two-Screen Laptops Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    I have a 15.6" and would actually go smaller if I could afford it. For something I have to carry around with me, a 13.3" or 14" would be perfect. I have to admit tough, it does look cool with two monitors.

  3. neato... on Kilobots — Cheap Swarm Robots Out of Harvard · · Score: 1

    I was very impressed by that synchronized blinking action there. That will come in handy... Endless possibilities there, my friend... endless

  4. This just in: on Iran Plans To Put a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 1

    Next year Iran is expected to unveil something they call a "wheel".

  5. Alright then on After 7 Years, MyDoom Worm Is Still Spreading · · Score: 2

    Update once every 5 years. Got it. Cheers.

  6. neato on Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage · · Score: 1

    Why stop there? We could be feasting on the shit of all creatures on earth! Mmm endangered tiger poo.

  7. oh noes, not on the interwebz :o on Student Suspended For Posting On YouTube · · Score: 1

    From article: "... they sent him home and called the police."

    Must have gone something like, "Hi, is this the police? I'd like to report rudeness on the internet!".

  8. Re:whats next on World Health Organization Says Mobile Phones May Cause Cancer · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that living in caves causes cancer.

  9. Makes sense on Microsoft: One In 14 Downloads Is Malicious · · Score: 1

    I don't do extremely much downloading on my Windows machine, but I guess every 14th download might be from Windows Security Center.

  10. Re:The future on Microsoft Buying Skype for $8.5B · · Score: 1

    Well, IMHO we're already fucked by Skype for Linux. I only hope MS fucks Skype up so bad that I can convince friends and relatives to switch to something else... like Ekiga or whatever...

  11. Semi paperless on Ask Slashdot: How Do You File Paper Documents At Home? · · Score: 1

    Here in Denmark we have the option to get most official papers regarding payment (income and bills) electronically. At this point I get, at most, 2-3 letters in my mailbox a month. Most of those are trivial and quickly find their new home in the rubbish bin. I also read all my news online, so I've opted out of getting the free newspapers and adds, which makes my life easier, since I don't have to take the garbage out as much as I used to :D

  12. Utterly disturbing on Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands · · Score: 1

    You know what I find most disturbing about this? The compound he was found in had NO INTERNET! That's just pure evil.

  13. LAN party on Department of Justice: FBI Too Focused On Child Porn · · Score: 1

    The remaining 9% were playing CS

  14. Re:Yawn on 80% Improvement In Solar Cell Efficiency · · Score: 2

    And 90 years later we were finally there...

  15. If you ask me on World's Smallest Wedding Rings Made of DNA · · Score: 1

    Research money well spent. This is the most exiting thing to happen in the wedding field since edible underwear.

  16. Re:I'm voting with my feet... or money in this cas on 'Anonymous' Plans Sony Boycott On April 16 · · Score: 1

    Would the grocery store sell you 6 bananas, then show up at your house later in the day to reclaim them and replace them with a stick of butter?

  17. I'm voting with my feet... or money in this case on 'Anonymous' Plans Sony Boycott On April 16 · · Score: 1

    I'm looking for a new camcorder and will not be buying Sony for two reasons. The first reason is I don't like them anymore after they started suing their customers and the second reason, I have lots of SD cards lying around, so I don't want to buy something where I have to invest in a different standard.

  18. Re:implications on Involuntary Geolocation To Within One Kilometer · · Score: 1

    I don't see how this is a marketing gold mine. The pizza place already put a menu in my mailbox...

  19. Online exorcism rules! on Vatican Warns That Internet Promotes Satanism · · Score: 1

    We always order all of our exorcisms online.

  20. I know what it is on FBI Overwhelmed With 'Solutions' To Encrypted Note · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't post this online. Sony is gonna sue :o

  21. nice on Plastic Made From Fruit Rivals Kevlar In Strength · · Score: 1

    yay bulletproof cola bottles :D

  22. Re:Has always made my head hurt. on Does 3D Make Your Head Happy Or Ache? · · Score: 1

    I agree. For me it feels very unpleasant to watch 3D. It completely ruined Avatar for me.

  23. Yeah, sort of nice on Cylindrical Rolltop Laptops · · Score: 1

    It looks nice and kinda cool. Good concept. I see designers and hipsters as a good target group for this. For us that use the computer for a lot of typing, I don't think a touch keyboard will do the job. I also imagine the horror of that speaker/power-supply entangled in the cable mess under my table. Overall I think it's a fun concept, I wouldn't buy it, but I know people who would.

  24. Limewire?? on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    Seriously? That's so 2008.

  25. I would go for... on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    If I had to choose an ultimate machine to use on the go, it would be a netbook with touchscreen. Then you have the keyboard, and you don't have to fiddle about on that microscopic touchpad those things usually have.
