  1. biomarkers on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and even detect biomarkers like methane, water, oxygen and ozone

    I hope I live to see the day when this thing detects a faint glow on the planet's continents that are facing away from the planet's sun at that moment. *shudder*

  2. Wow on Weta Digital Grows Cluster · · Score: 1

    The IBM Xeon blade servers, each with two 3.4 gigahertz processors and 8 gigabytes of memory

    *drool*

  3. I have Comcast... on Pay-Per-View to Provide DVD After Viewing? · · Score: 1

    I have Comcast and I used to have a Digital box. It was pretty decent, but I gave it up because it just wasn't worth the price.

  4. How long on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    How long till they start making torpedos smart enough to tell the difference between powerful sound waves and a physical object?

  5. Re:So does that mean... on Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity · · Score: 0

    It might mean that there is no such thing as dark matter.

  6. Can't you use a scanner.... on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 1

    ... to find where the RFID tag is hidden in the product and simply remove it?

  7. What? NO! on Peter Jackson to Executive Produce Halo Movie · · Score: 1

    Peter Jackson is directing? But that would result in a good movie based on a video game!

    Doesn't he realize that's one of the signs of the apocolypse?

    Maybe I'm overreacting. It's possible that even Jackson's emmense skill can't overcome the abomination that is the video-game-to-movie genra.

  8. Re:the bible-bashing is getting old... on The People Vs. Common Sense · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hitler was not an atheist. He was a Christian. What denomination he was is a matter of debate, but he was a Christian. As an atheist, I am sick of people saying that Hitler was an atheist when he clearly wasn't.

    You either don't know much about Hitler, or you don't know much about atheists.

  9. Couple programs I like on Pepping Up Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    Pcalc - A very nice calculator with no stupid number buttons to get in the way. For when you don't need something complex that can do graphs and animations.

    TClockEx - A nice little desktop utility that lets you configure the format of the system tray clock any way you want. (Note: Does not look good in XP unless you use the classic theme)

  10. Re:Another delusional zealiot on Pepping Up Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    the majority of windows users are perfectly content

    The majority of Windows users don't know any better.

    Hell, that's Microsoft's business model.

  11. Re:P2P: the new gateway drug. on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Not only does music file-swapping harm artists, but it also points to an erosion of respect for intellectual property that threatens Canada's economy and values at the core of our society," said Graham Henderson, president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, which commissioned the polls.

    Repeat after me: Correlation does not imply causation.


    Where in that quote are they saying that file swapping causes people to do these things? It sounds to me like they are saying that people who do those kinds of things are more likely to file swap. (Although they are still wrong)

  12. "Mostly they're people" on Gaiman and Whedon Discuss the Rise of the Geek · · Score: 5, Funny

    So what are the rest?

  13. Re:Kirsten Dunst on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 1

    Hey, I hardly ever read comic books and I get them.

    Ok, seriously, I just wanted an excuse to post that link because I love the expression on Gabe's face in the last panel

  14. Kirsten Dunst on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anyone ever get the feeling that Kirsten doesn't really "get" Spider Man or comic books in general?

  15. Sounds cool.... on Solar-powered Handbag · · Score: 1

    But this is something aimed at women. Why is it on Slashdot, unless someone needs a gift for their mother or sister.

  16. Eeeeecellent on Computer Jargon Too Difficult for Office Workers · · Score: 1

    Rubs hands together a'la Mr Burns

    Our long-term job security protection program is going precisely as planned.

    Excell - this helps to run programs on your PC.

    Especially with assistance like this from our allies in the media

  17. Re:Hot Coffee? on Review: Sims 2 Nightlife · · Score: 1

    flappy-headed Canadian Sims

    <obligitory>That is a racist statement! You are a racist madam! A racist!</obligitory>

  18. Re:But... on Blogging as Press Freedom in Repressive Places · · Score: 1

    It is still calling attention to the blogger, just not his real life identity.

  19. Re:Duck... on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Ok, I was guessing about the nova part. I didn't know off-hand how far away andromeda was.

  20. Re:Duck... on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Umm, dude, the stars in question are at the center of a completly different galaxy. Even if by some miracle of probability they did come in our direction, our sun would have gone nova by the time they arrived.

  21. Re:build a.... on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 1

    *notices the sig*

    Yeah, it forces the mouse to evolve.

  22. Anyone ever play Hacker? on Learning to Code with a Boardgame · · Score: 1

    http://www.fairplaygames.com/gamedisplay.asp?gamei d=797

    I played it once. Not too bad from what I can remember. The box art actually includes a can of Jolt and real 80's hacker references like "Legion of Doom"

  23. Goto? on Learning to Code with a Boardgame · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This game is supposed to teach kids about programming and they are talking about Goto?

  24. Oh, isn't that just so cute on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 5, Funny

    They actually think they can stop piracy

  25. Re:Why fly... on NASA's New Shuttle · · Score: 1

    Because they are planning on going to the moon
