  1. The Devil and EULA's on First Worm with a EULA? · · Score: 1

    If you sell your soul to the Devil does he make you sign an EULA?

  2. uh hunh on Sharp Unveils Glass Computer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well I have a short attention span anyway, I didn't even notice.
    Maybe they're trying to be like CNN Headline news, the same thing over and over and over and over... ..what was I talking about?

  3. Re:Actually it's F1 on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    I've always found that error to be very Zen :-P

  4. Re:not the game's fault on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    Actually a lot of people do die because of the drop in blood pressure after using the toilet, i.e. #2 ...I guess it was a good poop! lol
    A nurse friend of mine told me they get a lot of people who have had heart attacks or die form them on the toilet, well it isn't thetoilet like I said it is the sudden drop in blood pressure after "dropping a big load". It's very common.

  5. Magnetism vs. Gravity on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    In Brian Greene's book "The Elegant Universe" he states that, I'm paraphrasing here, Magnetism is (approx) a hundred million million billion times stronger than gravity. So you'd think it would be easy to make an anti-grav device hunh? Afterall we have MagLev trains!
    I guess the fact that we don't know what gravity is or isn't or how it is made is why we can't do it. We all think we know what it is but obviously we don't.
    I think I'll go have an apple ;-P ...or a fig newton.

  6. 2 grams of Upsydaisyum on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    I have 2 grams of Upsydaisyum acquired from a former Soviet source I won't mention, let's just call him "Boris" and leave it at that.
    If NASA wants it I'll sell it for $100 Billion dollars ;-P ( One hundred beeel-yon dollars )

    PS Dr. Evil call me later, our tee off time has changed, let me know when you're free.

  7. the 1% effect on Spam Doesn't Work? · · Score: 1

    CBC radio had a story on a few years ago about people who were awakened during the night by an autodialer (heh heh Homer) that was searching for fax machines. The reporter interviewed some of the spammers, most were not very helpful of course, and most of them said that if they tried 10,000 or 100,000 numbers and only 1% of them responded then it was profitable for them. So you if you imagine the amount of spam being sent and then consider that possibly 1% of people respond to it then you can see that it is worth it to the spammer. I suppose the squegee kids think the same thing.

  8. Argentina on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    I was going to blast someone then I realized it was air conditoning(1900's biz speak?) and not refridgeration(I never know if I spell that right...need dictionary).

    Argentina had the first refriderated(see!)ships to deliver beef to the rest of the world.

    A Florida company delivered orange juice in a ship like it too.

    OK I'm off to look for a dictionary...

  9. What else do you need to know??? on Scientific Battlegrounds in Diets · · Score: 1

    What a load of crap, do people still believe the Earth is flat?
    Reducing diets never work..what happens when you stop if your eating habits were bad to begin with?
    I don't need to read study after study to know why...it's common sense everybody knows the answer: If you eat 3000 kilocalories a day and use up 2500 kilocalories with activity you'll store that 500 "calories" of unused energy as fat. Do that enough and you will store a lot of fat.
    It's no wonder people in the Western world are fat it's because we all eat too much and exercise very little. In Third World countries (Ethiopia in the 80's especially) where food is scarce and a lot of work is required to even get that food you won't see obese or even overweight people, or at least it's very rare.
    Everything in moderation!

    A lot of people don't know this:
    "...a calorie is the amount of energy, or heat, it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
    It turns out that the calories on a food package are actually kilocalories (1,000 calories = 1 kilocalorie). The word is sometimes capitalized to show the difference, but usually not..."

  10. Re:what about the environment? on Microsoft Freon · · Score: 1

    Edsel, Pinto and The Hindenburg were alternate names not chosen.

  11. Centrifigal forces & Steve Austin on Boeing Blended Wing Body Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Well I can't see the link because "bandwidth limit exceeded."
    ...but if it what I think it is I thought that idea was abandoned. Not because of stability problems but because of the centrifigal forces the passengers on the outside edges would feel as the aircraft turn and banked.
    Are a lifting body(LB) and a delta wing the same idea? The Space Shuttle and the new rescue/escape vehicle for the International Space Station are lifitng body aircraft.
    Steve Austin(no not the wrestler you youngins!) crashed his LB so can you imagine 400 six-million-dollar bionic people?!?! But then I guess you'd get a volume discount from Oscar Goldman and the OSI :-P

  12. alcohol fuel on Can You Hear Me Now? · · Score: 1

    Yeah that was stupid to drink it knowing it cause more heat loss. I'm amazed people still think that. You don't get a cold from being wet and chilled either.
    Too bad he didn't have one of those new Methanol powered fuel cell phones. I don't know if alcohol would work in place of methanol or not especially full of whatever is in brandy; the impurities.
    He could have ignited the brandy with a spark from the battery or caused a short and heated it somehow, but then he'd lose the phone.
    Sure glad I wasn't there!
    ...you know what I think the story is fake, or something is fishy here. Was the newspaper based in China? :-P

  13. Off topic but... on AOL Developing Cheap Switch for Audio Streaming · · Score: 1

    I know this is off topic, and nitpicking, but this has bugged me for awhile and now is my chance(no offence meant to the story poster).Whenever I see a post about a certain thing and it's a very detailed description of it and it is called by a 'codename' isn't that...well, stupid? If it is referred to by a codename then we wouldn't know what it was, that's the reason for the codename to hide it or to confuse a competitor. Isn't it just a name and not a codename?

    Who the hell gave this a score of 4??
    Maybe I should smash a window becauseI disagree with you. Yeah, that'll help.

  16. Don't get me started! on Canadian Government to Jam Radio Signals · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A Canadian citizen writing here.
    Ha ha ha jam cellphones in Canada? Well when mine works I'm happy, there needs to be a zillion more cell towers and make them digital please. I'd be surprised if you could even use a cellphone in Kananaskis!
    BTW wouldn't a company that makes cell phones be considered one of the globilization monsters or big corporation from hell? So why would the protestors use or buy one? Oh wait, they buy cigarettes so there goes that theory...it seems that whoever or whatever is evil is selective. Like rock stars who tell everyone what to do while they get rich and later change their mind that selling out is OK.
    I wonder who posted that story? Some hippie freak/'activist'? An anarchist? Surprised they even know about Slashdot.
    Marijuana makes you paranoid doesn't it?
    There's nothing like a good rant, hunh?

    Lean too far left or too far right and you'll fall over, the center is the best

  17. Re:Got it on Software Dead Man's Switch · · Score: 1

    ...and, now that I'm home, wouldn't you need to wipe the drive several times to be sure of getting rid of the data? I've seen stories on here on that topic, so even if it does work the first time someone may just get the data eventually or unplug the computer before it can execute the command.
    Maybe someone mentioned this before but hey I'm a child of the late 70's early 80's, I have no... attention span. Either that or it's the pot smoke affecting me drifting over from the guy next door.

He'll stun them with facts like we just got indoor plumbing, paved roads, tv, the 24 hour clock...lmao and the people believe it! It's so stupid how could anyone believe it!!!
