  1. Re:Can you get my back? on Hypernova Erupts as Global Telescopes Scramble · · Score: 0
    If the Sun went supernova (impossible, but work with me) the neutrinos would kill all life to the outer solar system. (Never mind being fried and blown apart, the neutrinos have already killed you.)

    As for a Hypernova .. well, I guess "BANG!" doesn't quite cover it.

  2. Re:I'll Get The Ball Rolling on Hypernova Erupts as Global Telescopes Scramble · · Score: 1

    Alright! Refer to this previous Slashdot article on Anger as a Software Design Philosophy and get coding dude!

  3. Re:don't worry about cancer on Hypernova Erupts as Global Telescopes Scramble · · Score: 1

    Besides, according to Elron Hubbard in All About Radiation, radiation is water-soluable and you can wash it off. (And not smoking causes cancer.) Whooda thunk it?

  4. Re:Ananova! on Hypernova Erupts as Global Telescopes Scramble · · Score: 1

    And I've always wondered about that name: ananova-- "not new" or "nothing new".

  5. Re:Other uses for the powerful technology? on New Satellites of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 1

    Of course. My point was that we're not slowing down spotting Earth-intersecting objects by using powerful scopes on Jupiter and friends.

  6. Re:Naming of moons on New Satellites of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 1

    By now they must be down to Hum, God of Things That Were There a Moment Ago.

  7. Re:I doubt that the observations are correct. on New Satellites of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 1
    I doubt that they're in close. If they were they'd be perturbed by the major jovian moons and probably bumped out of orbit. And they would have had to have a cloaking device to remain hidden from probes orbiting Jupiter for years.

    Cloaking device? "That's no moon..."

  8. Re:Ramblings on New Satellites of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 1

    Hmm... You never know with these god types. Bulls, golden showers, making it with swans.. As well as the more common sort of thing.

  9. Re:Other uses for the powerful technology? on New Satellites of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IANAA, but I thought that you don't really want to use the most powerful telescopes for spoting comets and asteroids. You want something that can see a relatively large area of the sky, and when you spot something moving, you zoom in with the "big guns".

  10. Microsoft Toilet on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1
    I can see it now. Complete with Clippy to give hints. "I see that you're trying to take a dump..."

    Just never sit on Microsoft Toilet 1.0. Can you say Blue Flush of Death?

  11. Re:DDoS Attack from Rolls! on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this toilet technology isn't Windows based. After all, Code Red, 'nuff said.

  12. Re:Says something about my town on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1

    It sounds like one of them is working on his tan. Wait, in Britain? Probably does field trips to Spain for research. Yeah, research, that's the ticket...

  13. Combining Inventions on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1
    Combining all the inventions from the article (you did RTFA right?) You'd get an Internet toilet with a chopping block that rotates to follow the sun.

    There's just something wrong with that!

  14. Re:Why keep banging your head?! on The Clueless Newbie's Linux Odyssey · · Score: 1

    And there were a few problems that happened in the newer version that weren't in the old. That would be bad.

  15. Re:$100 reward for information about a spammer on Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't know if she'd take the money. On the other hand, a donation of Godiva might be acceptable. ;^)

  16. Re:Cash could be tracked.... on Take Big Brother on Vacation with You · · Score: 1

    Why not stock up on two dollar coins, easier to carry. :^P

  17. Re:Poetic justice on Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam · · Score: 1
    This looks like a job for the dynamic rhyming couplet of Iabicpentameter Man and Limerick Lad!

    There was a spammer named Dave,
    Who continuely acted the knave,
    He lived in a trailer,
    Now jail with a sailor,
    And forced to do acts deprave'.

  18. Re:$100 reward for information about a spammer on Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam · · Score: 1
    I didn't think you'd mind, so I reposted your message to nanae. Look for the thread "Reward offered for joe-jobbers!"

    I really do think that the fact you're prepared to sue will generate more interest than the reward. (Spammers getting hit by a Big Fscking Mallet 9000 *is* our reward!)

  19. Re:$100 reward for information about a spammer on Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you want to unleash the experts on the people who joe-jobbed you, you should post this to the newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email. Most of the people there would help out just to bag these turkeys. (And some might have a good idea of who they are already.) High noise ratio, but no worse than Slashdot.

  20. Re:Waiting.... on Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Homel and LEGO are on my Good Guys list. (LEGO: See the Slashdot article a year or so back. That has to be the most polite "please don't violate our trademark" letter that I've ever seen. Hack our boxes, reverse engineer, write replacement software, cool! Gotta love 'em!)

  21. Re:Hmm on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since we haven't encountered any alien species to murder yet, I'm not surprised. However, the meaning is obvious from the root Latin.

  22. Re:Six Degrees of Seperation on Take Big Brother on Vacation with You · · Score: 1

    Of course Brazil was just a movie. A Buttle/Tuttle foul-up could never happen in real life.

    And you think that'll help? :^) Praise Allah that I didn't pay for those copies with a credit card... D'OH!

  24. embedded planets on Hubble Captures a Protoplanetary Disk · · Score: 3, Funny
    the intricate structure of this particular disk is probably caused by a nearby companion star rather than by embedded planets starting to form.

    If there were embedded planets there, they wouldn't be allowed to tell where they are, or face expulsion.

    Just buying groceries at the supermarket leaves a long data trail of ..

    Sure does, and I'll bet that they'll be tracking down that subversive Mr. Cash any day now. ($Deity, I hate being in the 8 items check-out behind some bozo with a discount card and debit card, and they cna't remember their PIN...)
