    Would these be plasma cannons?

    Yes, maybe this is something Monsanto might want to look into. Diversification!

  3. Re:Jules Verne! on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Mysterious Island is a cracking read. Read it for the first time a couple of years ago and loved it.

    A big whoosh over my head!

  5. Re:Just like their trains... on Chinese Firms Claims It Can Build World's Tallest Tower in 90 Days · · Score: 1

    I expect Chinese people living in China will be surprised to learn that they are now Asian-American. It will be be very confusing for them. Please reconsider.

    No, not all! Not soon enough! Keep the gut wrenching horror alive! Actually, this is the first I heard of it.

    But not to someone whose face was torn off by a chimpanzee, right?

  13. Re:Sony MDR 7506 on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 1

    I got a pair recently and they seem fine. I can't say if they compare directly with my first pair as they finally gave up on me. Still good, even if made in China.

  14. Re:AKG Acoustics K-240 Semi Open Studio Headphones on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 0

    I had a pair of these or similar. I hated them. Useless. Threw them away in frustration.

  15. Re:Sony MDR-V6 on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 1

    Sony sucks but I still use these MDR-V6 headphones. As I mentioned elsewhere, I've been using them for about 18 years.

  16. Re:20 dollar sonies on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 1

    Funny, those are the exact same headphones I've been using for about 18 years for recording, the awesome MDR-V6. On my second pair now. Rugged, sound good. Maybe not flat-response but close enough for ears to make the necessary adjustments. Not sure why I picked them in the first place but I found over the years that other producers/sound engineers/musicians also swear by them. I had a pair of expensive AKGs at one point that were awful. I threw them away in frustration.

    I'm and not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the farming community.

  22. Re:Monkey Magic viewers on An Asian Origin For Human Ancestors? · · Score: 1

    Used to watch this as a kid. Loved it. Completely bonkers!

    One of the few sane perspectives on this subject. Thank you!

  24. Re:Are you surprised? on Microsoft Ignores Usability With All-Caps Menu in Visual Studio · · Score: 1

    The ribbon is atrocious. But you can turn it off at least. On a Mac.

    What's all this shouting? We'll have no shouting! This is a local shop!
