  1. Re:Molecular computers may benefit from this... on Molecular Photography · · Score: 2

    When I hear magnetic imaging device I think MRI, or cat scan...

  2. Re:Watch the salesman sqirm! on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: 2

    Same. Although it does take about 60 seconds to read the addresses from the sim card, and if you try before it's finished, the count seems to start again... A real PITA when you turn on your phone just to get a number when the battery is almost dead :(

  3. Re:Hrmm on Palm OS Powered Tattooing Robot Debuts in Vienna · · Score: 2

    ??? I don't know anybody who gets a tattoo to prove to other people that they mean something. Most people I know with tattoos just have them because they like the way it looks. People like you who say "anybody who has a tattoo / gets something pierced / grows long hair / shaves their head / whatever is a try-hard" have some serious issues that need looking at.

    Personally, I like tatoos, i like the way they look, i like them on other people, and I like them on me. So why shouldn't I get some? And to assume that for some miraculous reason that's going to change when I reach XX years of age (but of course you being so mature you already know everything you'll need) is fairly arrogant, don't you think?

    Nintendo does do this... it's called the gameboy advance :)

  7. Nuh-uh! on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 1

    Cringely on P2P Suuuuuure, it says "Cringely" but trust me, it's not... It's just a spiderman handy-cam that some losers have renamed. 600megs later....

    Argh! Fairly warned, be ye, says I!

  8. Re:I'd rather watch Red Dwarf on Firefly Likely to be Cancelled · · Score: 2

    True, but as a rule I don't like british humour either... Very little monty python amuses me, i hate black adder, i loath bottom and the young ones, and mr bean got real old real quick. But bugger me I love the dwarf :)

  9. Re:FFS on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 2

    You missed the best example - prince. The reason he became a symbol for a few years was because sony (iirc) owned the name prince, and he couldn't use it. Eventually his original contract expired and he got his name back.

    Nah, Biolante! That was the best gojira movie!

  11. FFS on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hate to tell you this, but trademarks are allowed to be _real words_, y'know. Just because stones have rolled for millennia doesn't mean you can expect to call the browser Rolling Stone.

    BZZT! Wrong! You can call the browser Rolling Stone. You cannot however, start a band called rolling stone, or sell music under a label called rolling stone. When will people learn that a trademark is a narrow thing? Phoenix bios is a software product, like the-browser-formally-known-as-phoenix, so it's fair enough they complained.

  12. Re:I'd rather watch Red Dwarf on Firefly Likely to be Cancelled · · Score: 2

    Red dwarf is more entertaining that just about anything... Don't think it'd go down well with the unwashed american masses tho, or the new generation of "baby americans" they're breeding in the rest of the world who believe friends is the pinnacle of mankind's creation.

  13. Re:Where...? on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 1, Troll

    To sum things up. This type of experiments will probably have to go to some little known, desterd island, but I regret that they can.

    Yes, much better that anything that somebody can whip the mob into a frenzy against in the name of (the children|god|national security) should not come to be, regardless of wether it could benefit mankind.

  14. Re:Ethical Problems? They already do it. on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ethical problems don't exist... It's a made up thing, a simple case of "I believe this, so I will force it upon you".

    That aside, we will have a problem as the line between human and animal blurs... Should we raise all animals to the level of humans wrt the rights they have? Probably not a good idea. I think we need to ignore the preachers, the churches, the "won't somebody think of the children" pretenders pushing for their own power, and set a strict definition of what defines a living, breathing, human being, and what is a clumb of cells related to, or with the potential to someday be a human being... I believe it's right for experiments to be done on month old foetuses, but I don't think it's right to do the same thing on one that could live if born prematurely....

    perhaps I'm rambling and incoherent, I was just trying to raise a couple of points.

  15. Re:shame there aren't more users on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 2

    Doing wrong? I downloaded it, and I installed it. That may be treating it roughly in your eyes, but not in mine.

  16. Re:shame there aren't more users on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Mozilla now is like ie 3/4 at the time... A far better product to use (standard compliance not withstanding), but as stable as a 2 legged stool.

    I love mozilla, I use 1.0 all the time under linux at work, but it just can't cut the mustard when it comes to windows. It was a sad moment when I had to return the little "e" to my quicklaunch bar after a few weeks of bittersweet mozilla pain.

  17. Re:Yeah? on Astra 1K Communications Satellite now Space Junk · · Score: 2

    Well if 1/300 go boom, then in 10 years, the probability would be 1-(launchesPerYear*10)/300 of going 10 years without incident.

    Unless my math is way off, in which case don't listen to me at all :)

    No, no, no, no, no... It's not the dutch that's killing it, Sailor Moon is simply the worst thing ever released upon the viewing public since that barbie cartoon.

    As a slashdot reader, you should know, _every_ security can be beaten.... If the segay is popular enough, Mario's cousin spiro who chops cars will be able to make a new key for it.

  25. Re:I agree completely on Segway HT Starts Selling · · Score: 2

    I may be the only one, but I'm glad the segway is finally being sold.... Sure, at 3 months wages (.au), it's a joke.. but the prices will drop as toy-loving-high-income-it's-no-fair-everybody-has- a-mobile-now dickheads buy them, the price will drop...

    For AU$900, the price of one of those dicky scooters, the segway would be a fairly grouse thing to have to zip around in when you just can't be fucked walking, since it'll go places your car won't.

    The only problem is some cunt in a ute (read:pickup) will just come along, load it up, and presto- free segway!
