  1. Re:Return the money on PayPal Withholding Indie Game Dev's €600,000 Account · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously they'll decide that the funny business is indeed happening. From Paypal's side. And they'll keep the money.

  2. wake me up on Robots Taught to Deceive · · Score: 1

    When robots have been taught to kill humans and lie about it.

    Then i will launch my EMP....

  3. Re:Great news on It's Official — AMD Will Retire the ATI Brand · · Score: 1

    ....
    Want to explain why light has to traverse through a cpu in one clock cycle?
    besides the fact that it takes multiple clock cycles to finish 1 calculation?
    Besides the fact that we have multiple cpus doing multiple calculations per cycle?

    Who thinks of these things?

    Assuming you had some mystical cpu that completed execution of every instruction in one cycle, maybe you'd have a point.

  4. here, let me fix that for you on Drunk Driver Mugshots Featured On Facebook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    and may find itself with a lawsuit for millions which tax payers will have to pay up while the police department will suffer no ill effects.

    Fixed.

  5. Re:matter from light? on Lasers Approach Their Ultimate Intensity Limit · · Score: 1

    Ohh so smashing super powerful lasers will not only burn and melt the target but also fire positrons at the target for an extra boom?

    Sounds like a plan.

  6. hmmm on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 1

    does that mean since he's pre-filing on crimes yet to be committed when someone actually does bootleg and gets caught they get to go free because of double jeopardy?

  7. Re:It's not even limited to "troops" on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Why the hell does there exist a document at all with a list of civilian informants to begin with? I thought the idea is that they were anonymous, which i guess goes against documenting who they are and what the do.

  8. Re:Need For Tools on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 1

    That's assuming that anything drastic wouldn't fling humanity back into being ultra conservative religious freaks who fear god again and destroy science/progress.

    I think your giving humanity too much credit.

  9. Re:I see this hitting the brick wall of regulation on Regenerating Muscle Cells With Newt-Inspired Tech · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm the only one thinking outside the box when I see that the two anti-cancer genes specified in the article does not say that it's the human body's only defense against cancer?

    That and it clearly says to turn it off for a duration of time, not entirely.

  10. Re:Perhaps if pentagon had guns or something on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 1

    I dunno, if they start drawing lines from each vertex you'd have a pentagram. Then they can cast spells and change history.

  11. Re:Auto-car. on Building the Zero-Fatality Car · · Score: 1

    yes, i would love that. Then people would run around with HERC cannons and watch the mayhem, put it on youtube.

  12. Re:People that don't care about paying taxes.. on Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools · · Score: 1

    I think before you mention something about paying your fair share of taxes, try doing a search for the highest taxed areas in the US. I'm pretty sure long island comes up at the top very close to that.

    Fair share went out the door a long time ago. Besides this isn't a tax, it's paying to get a permit.

  13. I gots an idea on Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pool covers... that look like grass!
    Someone make them now, they'll sell like hot cakes. Also pool canopies that look like lawn from above too.

  14. obviously on Defeating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 1

    Commenting on whether or not the uncertainty principal will be broken is like asking if i get enough fiber in my diet. No one knows for sure.

  15. my solution on X Prize To Offer Millions For Gulf Oil Cleanup Solution · · Score: 1

    Involves taking chickens... ok, i see i got your attention there, putting them in the gulf. Then selling their remains to kfc. Not only is this totally green but profitable but extremely tasty.

  16. Re:USA - Police State on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    1 time is way too many times for it to happen.

    2004, no riots but police decided to up the stakes, someone innocent got killed.

  17. Re:They didn't fix a lot of things on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 1

    More of the same, man, more of the same. It's all the same crap, packaged up in different colors and with a different label on top.

    So, for the slashdot crowd, it's like the different versions of windows?

  18. interesting question: on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 2, Funny

    What color did it turn when the rig exploded?

  19. Re:Private Info? on 37 States Join Investigation of Google Street View · · Score: 1

    Therein lies the problem. The average consumer does not think of wireless networking as "broadcast" information.

    Therein lies the problem. The average consumer is an idiot. The word broadcast is defined as "to spread widely; disseminate:".

    English. Learn it.

  20. Cyber Warriors lol on Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens US Security · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes. I know what they should do. Bring back photon and use it as a recruitment tool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_(TV_series)

    Who in their right mind would join up with a organization which wants to call you a Cyber Warrior?

    I mean, i get it from the perspective of appropriating money that should be used for better causes and justifying your 6 figure salary and all. But this whole thing is laughable.

  21. Re:i don't get it. on When On the Moon and Mars, Move Underground · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where else can we practice living in a location that is devoid of and incapable of sustaining life? The moon of course! better start practicing now.

  22. Re:Hubris? on New Photos Show 'Devastating' Ice Loss On Everest · · Score: 2, Informative

    Global warming is part of a cycle. It was warmer in the past, and it was cooler in the past. The water level has risen and fallen in the past as well. What we can't discount is the amount of change that humans have to this cycle. In the last 100 years we've changed the atmosphere more than it's changed over the past 10,000. You can't really fight that fact. How that affects the earth is unknown, hence why people study climate change and try to model predictions. As far as i know we're due for a cooling period, which may have been offset by human activity. Great! Now about that warming period with human activity...

  23. Or... on OAuth, OpenID Password Crack Could Affect Millions · · Score: 1

    OMG so very hard!

  24. hmm, interesting implications on UK Designer Grows Clothes From Bacteria · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What would be interesting is if the bacteria can become dormant instead of dying. Then if you get a rip or tear on the clothes you apply some nutrients to the rip and in 24 hours it regrows and fixes itself. Though i'm thinking that's quite a ways away, it would be really neat instead of throwing away clothes like we do now. That or clothes that can grow/shrink with you, or clothes that shed like skin always new.

  25. LOL on Dell Selling Faulty PCs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    you post an article which says and i quote "Crucially, in their complaints to Dell in the lawsuit, customers describe losing valuable information when their computers malfunctioned. Dell, by contrast, denied that that the capacitor issue had caused data loss. "

    do i lol now or later? Motherboards going bad don't affect harddrives. Did the writer even bother to check? I'm sure Dell will get sued for that and lose too.
