  1. Re:Forget medical uses, how about DIETING? on MIT Creates Superhydrophobic Condiment Bottles · · Score: 1

    It reminds me a bit of repulsion gel from Portal 2...

    "Its purpose was to cause subsequently ingested food items to bounce off the lining of the dieter's distended stomach and out of their mouth."

  2. Microsoft Synth on Software Converts 2D Images To 3D · · Score: 1

    I assume this is a more fancy version of something like Microsoft PhotoSynth?

    Shame it doesn't involve lasers. :-P

  3. Re:Competition is good, baby! on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 5, Informative

    While there is no mention of a kernal, it does appear to use a Linux kernel:

    "The Chrome OS will run on both x86 and ARM architectures, uses a Linux kernel with a new windowing system." :-P

  4. Re:What language do they speak in Lesbia? on Gamer Claims Identifying As a Lesbian Led To Xbox Live Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    Do you mean Lesbos Island?

  5. Re:"But a cloak that made an object invisible... on A Step Toward an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Infra-red in general is not a single wavelength of light though, it can span from about 700 nm to 1 mm, it's a larger band than the whole visible spectra.

  6. Re:Doing my part for science on Using Lasers To Generate Random Numbers Faster · · Score: 0, Redundant
  7. Re:Mobile phones on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    It was the new Bond film, so that certainly is a possibility!

    I've never really ever had a problem with mobile phones in restaurants.

  8. Mobile phones on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 4, Funny

    I must resist mentioning how in Soviet Russia, mobile phones jam you!

    In my local cinema recently, people were quite good with keeping phones on silent, but the light from people checking and sending text messages still annoyed me a bit.

  9. Only nitrogen? on AMD Shows Upcoming Phenom II CPU At 6.0 GHz+ · · Score: 4, Funny

    Anyone ever tried cooling a CPU with a continuous flow of liquid helium? :)

  10. Re:Setup a status page on Mars Rover Spirit Still Alive · · Score: 5, Funny
  11. Re:Space Elevator Music on Japanese Begin Working On Space Elevator · · Score: 5, Funny

    Could you cope any better with Music for Elevators by Anthony S Head though?

    Being groped by space-whores could potentially be worth the wait anyway. ;)

  12. Re:Smart Move for Ebay, bad for paypal people. on Ebay buys PayPal · · Score: 1

    A replacement service like http://www.nochex.com/ ?

  13. Untitled? on United Linux is Here · · Score: 1

    I read "united" as "untitled" when I first saw that headline. :P

    What I was wondering though is that happens to SuSE Linux and such... will there never be an SuSE Linux 9.0?

  14. Re:USB and not FireWire? on USB Remote Control · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that USB2 would be more than adequate for the amount of data needed to be sent/to from it. :-)

  15. Re:Then? on The Creamy Center of the Atom · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think they meant "than", but the people who run slashdot can't spel. :-)

  16. Re:cool on Solar Sail to be Launched This Year · · Score: 1

    Bajorans... sorry to be pedantic. :-)

    Wasn't it pushed along by some sort of eddies in space?

  17. Re:Why didn't Mr. Taco just say... on The Union of Vim with KDE · · Score: 1

    I've kinda waiting for KPico to be honest. :-)

    I've never been much of a fan of vim... too steep a learning curve... it takes a certain type of person to use vim. ;)

  18. Re:Analogies on Quark Stars · · Score: 1

    Well of course not, the weight of all the matter on it crushed it. :-)

  19. Re:one device? on The Handspring Treo In Real Life · · Score: 1

    When I saw that subject title, my first thought was: "one device to rule them all, one device to find things, one device to bring them all and in the darkness activate the backlight" :-)

  20. Re:Programming Personality on Hospital Robots · · Score: 1

    What about the doctor of Star Trek: Voyager? ;)

  21. Re:What's wrong with just using vi to edit. on Cinema Tools for Final Cut Pro · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What sort of a person would use vi when they know pico is so more easier to use? ;-)

  22. Re:Odd... on Google's Pageranking Explained · · Score: 1

    Remember it does take some brains to be evil imo. ;)

  23. Re:Windows Desktop on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 1

    > " using bits of people " ? eww
    I meant paper ;-)

    I don't know what I was thinking of at the time... hmm....

  24. Entertainment on CBDTPA Finds A Champion In the House · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does downloading porn and watching people's webcams count as entertainment? ;-)

  25. Re:The next generation portable, PAPER! on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 1

    Also, things written on paper aren't affected as much by EM radiation and magenets. :)
