  1. Gobsmacked. on GNOME Settings Area Getting a Refurbishment (gnome.org) · · Score: 0

    WTF! Gnome has settings???

  2. Re:How they were detected on Press Used To Print Millions of US Banknotes Seized In Quebec · · Score: 0

    Besides the comedy issue, there's a punctuation problem. The way I've heard it pronounced, there definitely isn't a comma (pause) before the "eh". I'm not sure there's even a space between it and the preceding word.

  3. Subterranean on City Councilman Resigns Using Klingon · · Score: 0

    And, now he can go back to living in his parents basement.

  4. Beans on Lawsuits Seek To Turn Chimpanzees Into Legal Persons · · Score: 0

    Once pigs, chickens and cattle achieve legal personhood, the soybeans will be anxiously waiting for their turn.

  5. Not a physical pummeling? That would have been entertaining.

  6. Re:Photon model broken on Physicists Create Quantum Link Between Photons That Don't Exist At the Same Time · · Score: 0

    And if you'd had habaneros with lunch, there would also be plasma (fire).

  7. Classic Shell on Windows 8 Sales Below Projections · · Score: 0

    Free download from Sourceforge.
    Boot to desktop, include a start button (3 menu styles to choose from), get rid of hot corners. Once I saw that someone fixed the mistakes for free, I upgraded two computers and bought one retail for a new box I'm building. Hyper-V makes the upgrade worth it to me.

    Start8 might be better at $5, but by a very tiny margin.
     

  8. Hyper-V Server on Ask Slashdot: Which Virtual Machine Software For a Beginner? · · Score: 0

    I would suggest the free Hyper-V Server from Microsoft. If you really enjoy beating your head against the wall.

  9. Re:I bought one on Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard Switches Compared · · Score: 0

    My model M finally finally passed on to the scriptorium in the sky. No worries, I have two more. And two Unicomps. Planning to buy another Unicomp to replace the dead M. Satisfied? I think so.

  10. Re:the 16 scientists are not climatologists on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 0

    Yes we should all stop breathing. That will save the planet, and the cockroaches will rise to their rightful place. After that it's their problem.

    8) Two words: goatse

  12. Ozone My Arse on New Chip-cooling Technology · · Score: 0

    Ozone is triatomic oxygen... O3. Its created when sufficient energy is applied to O2 to split the atom into monoatomic oxygen, and the resulting O1's each combine with an O2. The characteristic smell is caused by ions resulting from the process, not the ozone itself. Ionic generators used for air purification merely add electrons to air molecules and to particles in the air. Negatively charged molecules are then attracted to positive electrodes. The energy required to ionize the air is not sufficient to split O2 molecules. If you think you smell ozone, its just ions. SOME ionic air cleaners also sanitize the air, by flowing it past a UV light. This process Does produce ozone. From engineers whose business is designing sewage treatment plants, I learned that ozone for sanitizing the water is made using intense UV light. Its the same process as occurs in the upper atmosphere.
