  1. I thought the news item was about animals on Australia's Bizarre Classification System For Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    The headline starts with "Australia's Bizarre... ", so I just assumed it would be about cattle-eating bats or something.

  2. Re:There are 8 bits in a byte. on HP Announces Tiny Wireless Memory Chip · · Score: 1

    That's an octet, boy! OCTET!

    Kids these days...

  3. Not fast enough on U of Michigan creates first Quantum Microchip · · Score: 2, Funny

    quantum systems will be much more efficient at rock-solid cryptography and mass database searches than running the latest version of Doom.

    Not even quantum computing is fast enough for Doom 3, eh?

  4. Twice the prize. on Stanford's Stanley wins DARPA Grand Challenge · · Score: 1

    Nuff said.

  5. Re:More "full confirmations" on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Google will release web-based Duke Nukem Forever.

  6. Artificial Intelligence indeed on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 2, Funny

    Search for linux and get microsoft.com as the first result.

    Feeling Lucky?

  7. What's the real point of this article? on Requiem For A Motherboard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why has this article been published on Slashdot anyway? Just to make fun of the poor fellow?

    Or maybe Slashdot readers suddenly became a bunch of dumb wannabe geeks who really need that kind of "tips" and I haven't noticed yet.

  8. Damn headlines on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    I thought it would print females...

  9. Does timothy works for them? on Unicast Claims Success With Internet Commercials · · Score: 1, Funny

    You see, I firmly believe timothy works for Unicast. Now EPSN and MSN sites will have a slashdotting ammount of visitors and that obviously will lead to insane ammount of ad views and "Success With Internet Commercials". :P

  10. Potential of misuse on 'Brain Pacemakers' Being Tested · · Score: 1

    Why is there always a "I see the risk of misuse" on every new technology that comes out? Are we all mad evil scientists? One can misuse a kitchen knife and inflict far worse damage than with a brain pacemaker.

    I may be wrong, but kitchen knives are considerably easiear to get a hold of.

  11. Does it work on living beings? on Terahertz Scanners See Inside Sealed Packages · · Score: 1

    Could such tech be used to detect amphetamines on athletes? I see it as something like airport metal scanners and it could even be broadcasted live to the whole planet right after the competition.

    Hmm... or even before competition! Talk about intimidation. :)

  12. At last! on Cyrillic Projector Code Finally Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now the Cold War will finally be over!

    Ah, wait, you mean this Iraq operation is not an extension of the Cold War? Why is it going on, then? Why are they cracking the KGB code? :D

  13. The Phantom console is old news on Investigating Infinium Labs · · Score: 1

    Quite old, actually, here you go, the Phantom System.

    It's a NES clone released in Brazil in the late 80s. It was actually pretty good, with the design copied from the Atari 7800 and controllers copied from the Genesis. :)

  14. Been done before on Gyroscope Gives CellPhones 'Tilt Control' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nintendo had a similar engine in Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble for the Gameboy Color, where the player had to tilt the Gameboy to make Kirby roll. And the gyroscope thing was inside the game cartridge too.

    Too bad the GBA SP loads the cartridges from below, making the game unplayable. :)

  15. No, no, no! on Duke Nukem 3D Source Released to GPL · · Score: 1

    We don't want Duke Nukem 3D source code, goddammit, we want Duke Nukem Forever binaries!

  16. So, um... on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apprentice - "Look, master, I have invented what I shall call THE BATTERY"
    Master - "And what is that battery of yours, young apprentice?"
    Apprentice - "It produces electricity, master!"
    Master - "And what does this electricity you talk about do?"
    Apprentice - "Well, um... nothing really right now, but I'm sure that in a few centuries..."
    Master - "You know, I think that wheel thing you came up with last week might be slightly more useful right now... and stop wasting our precious vinegar!"

  17. Re:How about the fact... on Buy a Segway... Please · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed. That's exactly why bikes are *the* HT of choice in Southeastern Asia. In some cities almost every single individual uses a bike every day. It's kinda like Kamen's "dream", but much cheaper and healthier.

  18. As an added bonus... on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Bork edition does not have ad banners! Talk about extra features. :)

  19. Noooo! on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers Reviews Rolling In · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hate you Taco, I hate you! I was avoiding all those spoilers and reading the spoiler-free Slashdot frontpage and you tell me that ENTS CAN WALK!?

    I don't wanna see that movie anymore.

  20. Wha? on New Movie Download Pay Service · · Score: 1

    Oh wait, you mean P2P was NOT endorsed by the studios?!

  21. Re:TrackLED? on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I was thinking about not using a ball at all, but running your finger over the light!

  22. TrackLED? on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 1

    Optical mice tech would be great if used in optical trackballs (or tracklights), it would be most useful on notebooks, since, so far, there hasn't been a decent internal pointing device on those.

    Of course, you could get blind without careful placement...

  23. Are we losing the focus here? on Phoenix 0.4 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow! Theme support! That's great! That's all a light and fast browser needs! Man, theme support!

    Er... wait... who the hell needs theme support?

  24. Definitely not for the real world on Mice Designed by Famous Anime Artists · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some designs (and designers) are only fit for anime.

    At least it's not a Hamtaro mouse...

  25. Signs of China moving towards capitalism on Linux Continues March On China · · Score: 1

    "Raise the sale" it is.
