  1. Re:facebook is an intranet on Facebook Competitor Diaspora Revealed · · Score: 1

    They may be referring to facebook as an intranet because it doesn't allow google in. So it's somewhat isolated.

  2. Re:Presumptuous title much? on Facebook Competitor Diaspora Revealed · · Score: 1

    Hindsight works a lot better for spotting potential. I'm ready to switch.

  3. Re:Wouldn't it be against the rules anyways? on US Military 'Banned' From Viewing Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Further compromise to the enemy?

    There goes my Friday nights.

  5. Re:it's my beach party on Stone Tools Found On Crete Push Back Humans' Maritime History · · Score: 1

    Possibly. You may be weighing in relatively short distance sea travel as being more complex than the actuality.

  6. it's a riddle on Stone Tools Found On Crete Push Back Humans' Maritime History · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What's long, hard and full of seamen? Stone tools, of course!

  7. Or... on "Immortal Molecule" Evolves — How Close To Synthetic Life? · · Score: 1

    what may be a better way to phrase the question is, can people with vested interests in seeing a desirable outcome from an experiment, create such a synthetic experiment that their desired outcomes are manifest. It's like some people are actually frightened of discovering the truth and hide behind contrived models. fear

  8. Don't understand the hate on Newly-Found Windows Bug Affects All Versions Since NT · · Score: 1

    I'm not getting a lot of these posts. Microsoft is a software business, not a computer science business. I think some of you may be confusing one for the other. This is par for the course.

  9. Re:Right to assemble? on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    I mean if this thing has been show to cause people to panic, what better way to get a crowd riled up then to hit a couple of blasts. Later the report will naturally show that the crowd started the whole thing and required some crowd control. Back in my day we just used frost traps and sap

  10. Re:Why? on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    It would probably help if you had read the article about the "horrible weapon"

  11. Right to assemble? on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    I am sure this will only be used on unruly crowds. And not on crowds that just need a little pushing to become unruly.

  12. Newsworthy on NYTimes Confirms It Will Start Charging For Online News In 2011 · · Score: 1

    Does the Times ever actually contain timely news articles that slashdot would need to link to? I can't remember the last time I even looked on their site

  13. Re:I'd love to talk to someone knowledgeable about on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    Wow, I want a pet nanobacteria now. The infinitely trustworthy (groan) wikipedia suggests that some form of replication can occur with them so I am putting in an order for my nanobacteria farm fun set now!

  14. Re:I'd love to talk to someone knowledgeable about on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    Ah, nm. I was reading so many related articles I missed the part about the asteroid impact. Still, that's quite amazing in itself. Considering it would probably take NASA a few billion to get the same payload delivered back. This was free delivery!

  15. Re:I'd love to talk to someone knowledgeable about on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    Exactly what is the theory of how rocks from Mars got here? Was there some eruption so great that it hurled chunks of Mars into space, out of its planetary orbit and made the trip here? I think I am missing something here.

  16. Re:What the hell do you care? on TV Show Seeks Terminally Ill Volunteer for Mummification · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmm...gut soup!

    Personally I think I would like to be the closing act at a Burning Man festival and make it live up to it's name for once.

  17. Re:Depends... on TV Show Seeks Terminally Ill Volunteer for Mummification · · Score: 1

    Well how do you mod up a TV show?

    They weren't strange to the Aztecs!

  19. I don't feel like I'm evolving on Human Males Evolve At a Faster Pace Than Females · · Score: 1

    So, males are evolving faster than females. "Hooray!!"
    The part that's evolving is for sperm production. "...[crickets]..."

    Hey, did anyone mention that "print screen" copies the screen to the clipboard?

  21. sheesh on $25,000 of Communications Gear In a $500 Car · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know that everybody needs a hobby, the key is in knowing that not every hobby needs a body.

  22. No way on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    Who wants to be online and see the ladies sporting a c-section scar?

  23. obvious on The Social Difficulty of Saving Earth From an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Park it in the grand canyon, soon to be the grander canyon, charge admission, profit

    Shouldn't you be putting another shrimp on the barbie or some other person?

  25. What about brower plugins? on Adobe Warns of Reader, Acrobat Attack · · Score: 1

    I loaded a pdf in firefox and didn't see any options within the plugin menus for disabling javascript. Anyone know what to do with the plugins? I haven't used the stand alone reader in a while.
