  1. Re:Bad Selection of stress tests on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    I think that most peoples asses and thighs would give in before bending steel.

    Of course, given how fit we all are on slashdot... I could see 'buns of steel' bending the nano.

    It probably wasn't 72,00 people. It was probably 5-6K or less addicted patients. Or even worse, a few hundred drug dealers scamming for "legal" scrips to controlled narcotics.

    So, let me get this straight: you actually get something when you respond to spam email? Like, a prescription?

    "Christian" doesn't mean following the rules you like, and ignoring the ones you don't. Many people like to call themselves Christians and ignore the rules, but that's Evilviper's totally right. For those of you not in the know, they're also called 'right-wing fundamentalists' or 'Bible thumpers.' I know for a fact there's nothing more Christian than saying another person isn't "Christian" enough. I mean, I don't feel the love of Jesus unless I'm pointing out how sinfull everyone else besides me is.
  8. Charging Memberships on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's hard to talk about what I think my greatest achievement is, because I feel like I'm seriously jerking off . . . and if I'm going to do that, I'm building a wishlist and charging memberships.

    I can see charging membership to watch this, but where exactly does a wishlist come into play?

    I jest, I jest.

  16. Why He's Wrong on Dvorak Trashes Modern Gaming Industry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He said it himself in fact. There doesnt have to be new ideas for games. It's a generational recycling. There will always be a new crop of kids ready to play a prettier version of what was available 10 years ago. His kids don't mind playing the same thing that was around years ago because, well, they didn't play it.

  24. I've seen this phenomenon before! on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1
    I was driving to California via I-40 last month and saw the exact same phenomenon minus the explosion at the tail. Let me explain:

    I was heading west in Arizona with a front of clouds, similar to that in the picture, in front of me. I saw for a brief amount of time a straight, diagonal line across the cloud front. I would appear and disappear. It was so cool, I pulled over to take a shot with my Digital Reb. On inspection of the sky it appeared that the line was a shadow being cast on the cloud front by a exhaust trail from a high flying jet. It looked almost exactly the same. But, unlike the picture there was no explosion to mark where the shadow terminated on the horizon.

    My take is that this is merely a con-trail shadow, and the explosion is him capturing the reported failure of the wharf light in one of his time exposed shots.
