  2. Cmdr Taco we knew ye well on Rob CmdrTaco Malda AMA On Reddit · · Score: 0

  7. Re:Stellar application potential on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 1

    A laser can bend. Ever shone a laser pointer at a mirror?
    A suffeciently engineereg targeting mirror system in orbit could aim a ground based laserand probably be cheaper. Question, how colimated (sp) is the beam, and over what range?

  8. YOu know what would be smart.. on Valve Continues Recruiting Top Linux Talent · · Score: 1

    If valve does make a linux (or anything) based steam box console, to drive sales they can release it with exclusive versions of Half-Life 3 and Left For Dead 3.
    They could then release versions for other systems and PC later. Wouldn't be a bad way to get a foothold in the market.

  9. The known exploit on Android Forums Hacked: 1 Million User Credentials Stolen · · Score: 3, Funny

    androidforums.com runs on a cluster of old phones. A simple android root program injected into the php was all that was needed :P

  12. Yes, it does matter. on Does Grammar Matter Anymore? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just like size matters, it depends on the context.
    Some good examples:
    "Highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector."
    "My interests include: cooking dogs, reading, poetry, fishing and music."
    "Goats cheese salad ingredients: lettuce, tomato, goats, cheese"
    "Butcher's sign: Try our sausages. None like them."
    Of course there is always engrish.

  13. Welcome to the cloud.... on Another Death in the Cloud As Apple Kills Off iWork · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...where your important business data is as misty amd vaporous as its namesake. very eponymous if you ask me, and just as likely to evaporate.

  14. Re:Loses to Ivy Bridge on 12-Core ARM Cluster Beats Intel Atom, AMD Fusion · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ivy bridge is more efficent in work done per watt yes, but ARM still wins for low power devices like phones because it draws so much less power. The fact that it does less with that power is moot, because it does enough and lets your battery last much longqer.

  15. What happens... on Rare Operating Apple 1 Rakes In $374,500 At Sotheby's Auction · · Score: 2

    ...if you take that puppy to a 'Genius Bar'. Most of those geniuses wouldn't even know what it was, and that the Woz actually built it with his bare hands.

    They can cast Gackt for sushi-k. Hiro is half black half nippoese, will be interesting who is cast, and will they use google earth? Will the gargoyles wear google glasses?

  20. Thanks google... on Meebo Discontinuing All Services Except for Meebo Bar · · Score: 2
    I use Meebo IM on my android phone, very regularly. I started, because I use Yahoo messenger quite a bit (not by choice, because someone I care about does, and after logging so many messages, the android version of Yahoo IM gets crappy as hell. Every time you go to the keyboard or to the contact list, and back to a conversation with lots of past messages it is dog slow (we are talking up to 5 minutes), even though the messages are stored remotely.. it reloads/parses them EVERY time.. and crashes often.

    Google Talk on android sucks too, messages may come in upto 15 minutes late or not at all, especially if you have a web gmail open somewhere with gtalk embedded. Meebo is a good fix for that too. The best I had found in alternate IM's for the phone. It is fast, light, and works, even on my low end phone.

    Any slashdotters know of other LIGHT and SNAPPY, android IM clients that support Yahoo and G Talk?

  21. Those in debt rejoice.. on Fighting Counterfeiters With Quantum Money · · Score: 1

    Bill collector: Did you send payment?
    Debtor: Yes. Well, at least partial payment.
    Bill collector: What do you mean partial?
    Debtor: I am not sure. I can tell you when the money will arrive, but not how much it is, or I can tell you how much I paid, but not when it will get there. Your choice.
    Bill collector: *facepalm*

  22. Simple description... on Quest To Measure the Venus Transit "Aureole Effect" · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Aureole effect is what happens when the skin around the nipple gets crinkly from the nipple becoming erect.
    If you were transiting a big ball like the sun, -your- nipples would probably get crinkly too!

  23. I call BS on How Chemistry Stymies Attempts To Regulate Synthetic Drugs · · Score: 1

    'That's the crux of the entire problem. The scientific community does not agree on what "analogue" essentially means.""

    The crux of the problem is our crazy war on drugs. The fact that a person cannot smoke a joint at home legally, but can drive to the bar, get hammered, get in an assaultive fight, then drive home drunk possibly killing people is simply ridiculous.

    Instead of allowing a real market, with the safest possible standards, we have a black market with adulterated crap, and chemical 'analogues' with unknown long term effects.

    Instead of simple stores and methods of purchase, we have gang wars, and prisons filled to bursting, many with low end crimes. As a society can we focus on the sociopaths and rapists please? And quit with this stupid shit?
