  1. Display costs are the biggest obstacle on v1.0 of HD-DVD Physical Specs Approved · · Score: 1

    Everyone's predictions about the lack of consumer demand for these new products is correct; but in my opinion there is a different reason.

    HD-TVs, projectors, and even LCD monitors are still too expensive. And without the ability to tell the difference between DVD and DVD-HD...I think they're going to end up being introduced too early and fail in the marketplace.

  2. Bad idea? on The SEC and Fake Investment Sites · · Score: 1

    Isn't this just going encourage some scammers to set up similar 'test-sites' that take all the information they need, then tell you not to fall for scams and proceed to cheat you out of your money anyway?

  3. MST3K writers on Nick Cancelling Invader Zim · · Score: 1

    Yes, Zim is a pretty funny show, but does everyone know why?

    Because TV's Frank is the head writer!

    Frank Conniff was the head writer for the first sevem episodes. He also played Dr. Forrester's assistant on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. For more details about Frank and other MST3K cast members, go to http://www.mst3kinfo.com. The cast info page is here:

  4. Patent: THINK on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    THINK: Theoretical Human Implimentation of a Neurological Kernel

    "Making connections between cells in the brain allows for the storage of information and the processing of thoughts or 'commands'. The collection of these commands and the information needed to interpret them can be called the 'kernel' of the brain. This kernel allows for superior multi-tasking, multi-threading, and improved native networking ability over competing systems. This kernel can be edited by way of the 'command line' or 'ear' and can output through an 'X-ternal' device or 'mouth'. THINKing would drastically effect the intelligence of Slashdot posts."

  5. Virtual DNA on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    Virtual DNA

    "By mapping DNA stings to ASCII characters, a personal DNA 'signature' can be created, whereby a person could be identified electronically by an individual strand or piece of a strand."

    Thank god I thought of this first! Imagine if Microsoft incorporated this 'feature' into Internet Explorer 6...of course, that might find a sympathetic ear within the DOJ :-P
