  2. Ubuntu on Bad Lockup Bug Plagues Linux · · Score: 1

  3. Happy Friday on How Earth's Biosignature Will Change As the Planet Dies · · Score: 1

    Party like its 1000002013!

  4. Re:Satellites still need to be launched on NASA Gets Two Military Spy Telescopes For Astronomy · · Score: 1

    My guess would be either Corning or Bausch and Lomb or a combination of both are housing these scopes. Corning has a long history of doing work on large projects of national importance in relation to telescope mirrors and Bausch and Lomb of course has a pretty solid reputation in the field of optics.

  5. We the People on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 1

    The country is in transition as the world is in transition. As the American middle class and poor start to wake up and look around they are starting to see that American exceptionalism has become irrelevant in todays global market. Do, we the people, have any relevance today? We will see if this movement grows to the point that forces current American policy to be rethought. Right now people feel very detached from the political process. The frustration people feel is the visual equivalent of an ant trying to pull a elephant. It just does not seem that the current behavior of government, as a whole, is a reflection of we the people no matter how we vote.

  6. Re:Developers section red now ? on 64-Bit Java For Linux · · Score: 1

    Get a room!

  7. Comet protection? on UN Plans Asteroid Response Framework · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hope this will protect us against comets that have a chemical composition of less than 1.5% the normal level of cyanogen found in normal comets as well as asteroids.

  8. close approximation on Computers Emulate Neanderthal Speech · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's remarkable that they were able to get that close to the actual sound. I feel like I've gone back in time hearing that reproduction.

  9. Re:Wow that's almost 6000 biblical years! on Astronomers Find Oldest Known Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Eve actually took the dinosaur as her ride while Adam was forced to walk.

  15. Re:What bills are necessary? on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 1

    You have a chem teacher who has to think about your question over the weekend before he can answer it? Thats awful.. Well actually when I have a question for my grad physical chemistry teacher and he starts to answer I sometimes wish it was the weekend as well.

  16. western digital on 3 Major HD Makers Recalling Drives? [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    I have had problems with two 80gig wd drives and have read the same from several others. Strange that they were not involved in the recall..

  17. Foreman on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    George Foreman is so innovative; he is like a modern day Thomas Edison.

  18. conversely on Projecting Sound 'Inside Your Head' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The real winner will be the engineer that develops a practical system to counter-act such a device. A small device such as a watch that can detect the signal and then send a destructive wave to cancel the signal would be good.

  19. sound for the borg on Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    All you need is an imbedded chip in the brain that encodes a wireless digital audio signal.

  20. Re:Pancakes, crepes, flapjack... on Pancake Physics to Cut Batter Splatter · · Score: 1

    The real source of the quote:

  25. Carbon on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 1

    Hell, you could use bananas if you wanted to. Anything with made of carbon can be used for that matter. All you need is high temperature and very high pressure. Well if you could harness the heat of the sun then that would do but here on earth we need to use lots of pressure to create diamond.
