  3. Re:So... on Java-Based x86 Emulator · · Score: 1

    ... now we should say: "x86 assembler: write once, run everywhere (slow as molasses in January)" ?

    You know what would really be kewl? If you could make an integrated circuit that runs java real fast then you would have a chip that runs x86 assembly.

  4. Let me be the first to suggest on Language Learner Looks for Leads in Learning? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    to look long at loquacious lexicons lengthening learning luminosity.

  6. Re:OH, "Think Tank" on NASA Think Tank to be Shut Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think that it'd be safe to say that the think tank lost it's foam.

  7. Ironically on A Law Professor's Opinion of Viacom vs YouTube · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Many people have roasted GWB for his apparent glaring shortcomings. But I bet his one lasting legacy will be his judicial appointments to the supreme court that may reign in copyright gone amok.

  8. Re:Fact for the day on Yellowstone Supervolcano Making Strange Rumblings · · Score: 0

    "Teton" is french for booby.

    But then wouldn't they be the "Tittons"?

    Would this mean that I could return the Britney Spear's download after she cut her hair?

  11. Re:MIT guys!! on A New Lease On Internal Combustion · · Score: 1

    The U.S. buys a large part of its oil from México, for example.

    But aren't we being invaded by the Mexican's on a daily basis??

  12. MIT guys!! on A New Lease On Internal Combustion · · Score: 1

    Please drop your internal combustion research. This is a dead-end technology that relies on us burning stuff that we buy from terrorists. Please focus your efforts on a fusion engine that uses garbage like in the movies. The flying car part can wait though. Just get the fusion engine going. Thanks.

  13. Clearly on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 4, Funny

    With Captain America dead, the terrorists have won.

  14. Re:Well, on New Royalty Rates Could Kill Internet Radio · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it were your music, and you made a living from it, you'd want your share, wouldn't you?

    With copyrights lasting 50 years after an author's death (in the US) it makes no difference to those who are in the grave. And for those who are still alive, they have no incentive to create new works, which was the original intent of copyright law.

  15. I can't wait on Photoshop Online Within Six Months · · Score: 5, Funny

    This means that Microsoft will follow by putting their much loved 'MS Paint' online.

    This is not evidence of a conspiracy

    Agreed. It just shows that slashdot hasn't evolved, as we are going to see the emergence of a thousand posts of the same diatribe we have all seen before.

  20. Well Duh!! on IEEE Seeks For Ethernet To 'Go Green' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Another suggestion - Stop all the spamming. There must be a coal-powered powerplant's worth of electricity right there.

  21. Re:Find a college that takes life experience on Would a CS Degree Be Good for Someone Over 30? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well I think there was a day when what you said may have been true. But don't think that isn't going to rapidly change when everyone gets faster broadband. The demand continues to grow in this sector, and I suspect that online degrees will gain increasing currency because traditional schools will simply become less attractive to those that don't want to put up with everything from weird antics of professors to parking problems.

    Thousands of people are paying bills online now too. A concept unheard of seven years ago. If you can trust an online bank, why couldn't you trust an accredited online school?

  22. Re:oh yeah on Microsoft to Get Tough on License Dodgers · · Score: 2, Funny

    because we all know what would happen if they started with the big ones.

    Microsoft would use tanks and heavy artillery instead of just the BSA - Boy Scouts of America?
