    "Eternal life thanks to science"

    Now where have I heard that before? :)

  4. Question: on Alex Chiu on Science, Religion, and Politics · · Score: 1

    Why should I trust someone at all (never mind with my life) who has a site that makes use of the 'Comic Sans' font and images made in MS Paint?

    Hey... this is strange, I only see AC and uncon too..

    More neon lights and bizarre cases than you're ever likely to see ;)

  9. Re:So what? on Microsoft Hack a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Well slashdot seem to be so worried about security, that they wouldn't even post the link to the CNN story! :) http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/12/29/csis. microsoft.report.idg/index.html

  11. Re:When does my toilet expire? on Year 2000 Ig-Nobels Released · · Score: 1

    It's remarkable discoveries like the collapse of toilets in Glasgow that make me proud to be a student at Glasgow University... :)

  12. uk politicians != sense :) on RIP vs. Human Rights Act · · Score: 1
    We can only hope that this now spells RIP for the RIP bill... :)

  13. Re:This just begs for a Simpsons quote, sorry on Lunar Landing Historical Site? · · Score: 1
    Never mind the Simpsons (slow down there, tubby - you're not on the moon yet!)..

    This actually happened in Futurama in the second episode when they travel to the moon.. remember? :)

  14. Re:What typo site? on Typosquatting · · Score: 1

    I don't see the problem with these particular sites (salshdot and slahsdot) framing /. as it's not as if the person who registered it is making any money... they're just a namezero accounts..?

  15. I thought it was mp3s? on Student Gets PC Confiscated For Distributing MP3s · · Score: 1
    "After we finish that review, we will evaluate the amount of substance he was distributing."

    They make it sound as if he was trafficking drugs from his dorm! And why a 'forensic review' of the hard drive? Can't they just do a search for *.mp3? :)

  16. from the it-was-right-in-the-first-place dept. on WIPO To Loosen Domain Names Transfer Standards · · Score: 1


    Nope, "loosen" is correct. :)
