  1. _this_ guy... on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    There is at least one released version of "Purple Haze" where he sings something very similar but instead of proclaiming to "kiss _this_guy" he sings "S'cuse me while I kiss _that_ guy."

    It's the "Live at the Sandiego Sports Arena" version on the Jimi Hendrix Experience box set.

  2. Lots of intranet apps still stuck on IE6.0 on Microsoft Upgrading Windows Users To Latest Version of MSIE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think Microsoft is going to find plenty of issues trying to roll this out in the US.

  3. Glucose anyone? on Is Sugar Toxic? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Given that glucose is what our bodies run on, I'd have to say no, sugar is NOT toxic to us. Is having too much sugar bad for you? Certainly. It's about balance. Too much of nearly anything (even water) is going to be bad for you.

  4. Can't be cold fusion yet... on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1, Funny

    "...the experiment provides a power gain of 12,400/400 = 31"

    Well since the power gain was only 31, it can't possibly be cold fusion.

    When they hit '42'....let me know....*goes back to sleep*

  5. Re:Fuel-Saving? on Ford To Offer Fuel-Saving 'Start-Stop' System · · Score: 1

    Current method of starting a car may indeed do so. (Mythbusters, find this out!)

    The article mentions 'quickly restarting'.... might involve a different method for starting the vehicle.

    Gosh, I'd hate to think what this would do to your car battery when stuck in NY/LA traffic or something....

  6. But it's already here!!! on The Future of Web Video At Stake In Comcast-NBC Regulatory Review · · Score: 1

    "It won't be long before video from the Internet is always within reach — whether it's on a smart phone, a tablet computer or a high-end television in your living room."

    Umm.... I thought video from the internet already was always within reach? I can get to video from the internet via my smartphone, iPad, AND TV already!!!

  7. Re:How about most mice/trackballs. on Left-Handed Gamers Getting Left Behind? · · Score: 1

    Logitech makes 'thumb marbles'...not trackballs... I don't care what they call 'em, not a single one of them are a full sized trackball.

    Kensington's Expert Mouse trackball has always been ambidexterous and provides for switching the buttons in the drivers/companion software. Love these things. Have used 'em for well over a decade.

    http://us.kensington.com/html/2200.html

    In fact, -all- of kensington's trackballs are ambidexterous.

  8. Re:How Does the Same Company Make iPods and iTunes on Flawed iTunes Stands Out Among Apple's Products · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or, more simply put:

    The products Apple make are the closest thing to 'appliances' you can get in the computer world.

    Most people look at PCs as appliances, like a toaster or a TV. That's why they get frustrated and confused when something doesn't work like it always did - like a toaster. Most people don't understand just how mind-bendingly complex a PC and its OS is and that it just takes one of a brazillion things to go wrong and think we look like jerks because we cannot articulate why it doesn't work anymore. Apple's computers and consumer electronics are all about simplifying the user experence. To do that, it has to be limited, consistent and work the same way every time; otherwise you get the support nightmare that Windows PCs have been for a very long time.

    Some people are fine with that... others aren't. The whole 'choice' argument against apple is sort of a red herring really. Your choices are: Apple and their appliance model or PC's and their DIY model. Pick one.

    Yes

    Perhaps you should get your shocks replaced....

  10. WebOS can run CPU's other than ARM on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1

    No, they wouldn't have to go with ARM. WebOS is linux based, they'd just need to recompile the kernel and libraries, and include whatever drivers are needed for the slate hardware. Oh, and a boot loader, I guess. None of that takes long to do tho - Hell, they might have already done it.

    In fact, the webOS sdk runs on a virtual x86 cpu with virtualbox. It's just a cross-compile of the kernel and libs with hardware drivers for the VirtualBox hardware.

  11. Re:Arrgh on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently Apple's 'technology' has become sufficiently advanced to have become 'magic' to us mere mortals. :)

  12. Columbia, MO on Google's Experimental Fiber Network · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey Google! Make Columbia, MO one of your test areas and sign me the HELL up!

  13. Article title misleading... on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The encryption hasn't been cracked, it's the program that unlocks it that's been compromised.

  14. Re:$83 on Project Natal Release Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Erm... I don't think most people who go shopping for clothes aren't buying them 'on impulse'. Pretty sure they're needing those clothes or they wouldn't be shopping for them.

  15. Re:So before we start getting nano-robotic overlor on Italian Scientists Put Robot Spiders In Your Colon · · Score: 1

  16. It's Woz... on Apple Believes Someone Is Behind Psystar · · Score: 1

    .....maybe he finally got sick and tired of Job's draconian control over apple hardware! :)

    ...who gets NO spam!

    It's Samzenpus.... "I GET SPAM!"

    Seriously, dude....get a spam filter or something. Stop spamming us with your spam.

  18. Re:Wii Too on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    How about Wii++ ?

  19. Re:Why why why why only T-Mobile?? on Google Unveils First Android Phone · · Score: 1

    That's the thing... it's -all- data packets, whether it's voice or data. They just give the voice conversations higher priority. They can also support more voice calls than data users due to voice calls taking relatively low amounts of bandwidth.

    Where could you get a blu-ray player 9 months ago? Didn't they -just- come out a couple of months or so ago?

  25. Full Tilt Poker isn't written in java. on Slashdot's Games of the Year · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not sure where the hell you got THAT idea. It also shouldn't eat up your cpu either. I used to run it on a 233mhz pII laptop and it barely used any of THAT cpu.
