  1. Re:Future Concern? What Future? on NASA Delays Discovery's Final Launch To February · · Score: 2

    If it's fixed, launch it. Why worry about future concerns? There won't be anymore Space Shuttle.

    This is the last flight for the Discovery shuttle but there's still two other launches. One for each of the other shuttles. But I believe they use a new tank for each launch so I'm not sure where the future concerns are coming from.

  2. These aren't the bars you're looking for... on Apple To Issue a 'Fix' For iPhone 4 Reception Perception · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just force hold it next to your ear like the rest of us!

  3. Shirts with logos might not be so bad.... on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work at helpdesk for a smallish technical college. We have about 15-20 total in the IT office and our CIO buys us these nice dress shirts with the college logo and "Information Technology" above the pocket. His dress code for us is no jeans and look professional. We can choose to wear a tie or even our own shirts. But we also regularly get comments from other people about how nice our shirts look and how professional it makes our office look when we show up to a meeting in similar styled dress shirts. On days when there's a lot of dirty work involved we can come in with what's appropriate but overall I think the shirts add to the job instead of being an annoyance.

  4. Re:EMP Testing on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's a vast difference between our reaction to accidental deaths and intentional deaths. 9/11 was a lot of intentional deaths in a single location by some crazed lunatics. Car accidents are definitely regrettable but aren't considered murder because in the end they are just accidents.

  5. Jon Stewart? on Diagnose Conficker With Web-Based Eye Chart · · Score: 5, Funny

    Am I the only one that read it as Jon Stewart and then spent a few minutes trying to figure out the joke on the page?

  6. Re:Microprose on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    oooo... I remember doing that mission over and over. I thought it was dropping some supplies to some rebels at some secret airstrip in the mideast somewhere. On the way back you might get some fighters that show up but the gun took them out pretty easily. The copy protection on that game was pretty nice though. After flipping throught the book enough you memorized the outlines of all the planes. Copy protection that taught you something... those were the good ole days. :P

  7. Re:Obvious? on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    This brings to mind a speech by Michael Crichton about how environmentalism has become a religion. He brings up some interesting points. http://www.crichton-official.com/speeches/speeches _quote05.html

  8. Re:Coral Cache: Why? on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 1

    It's because Google is blocking people in Germany from accessing the videos. I haven't seen a good explanation for this practice either.

  9. Dupe article on J Allard Interviewed · · Score: 2

    This link was already part of the article here http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/22/ 0615249&tid=211 Why it becomes another article is anyones guess.

  10. In Soviet Russia... on Bizarre Deep Sea Fish Dredged Up By Tsunami · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Russia, tsunami dredges fish.

  11. Re:!!! Freakish !!! on Automatic Christmas Music · · Score: 1

    Direct quote from my mom: "It's like poking needles into your head!" This was only after fastforwarding through about half of it. If you haven't downloaded it yet, don't worry.... you're not missing ANYTHING! It's almost nausiating.

  12. Quote from article on Location-Based Encryption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Throughout the entire process, Wozniak said the encryption key is controlled in a central location through a secure transmission. Because the wOz Platform and the wOzNet network are proprietary, he said it is not open to Wi-Fi spoofing or password sniffing."

    proprietary != secure from sniffing

    I wonder if it's based on the current wireless encryption or if it's something completely new.

  13. Re:Play WOW for free here! on World of Warcraft Reaching Record MMOG Sales · · Score: 1

    woo hoo.... just passed 12,000 in the queue. What song is this anyways?

  14. From Mexico on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 0, Troll

  15. Re:Man... on A Review of "The Incredibles" · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I was thinking of! Very good series too. Can't wait for them to finish writing it.

    Die from lack of oxygen?

  17. Re:why iPod costume? on Working iPod Halloween Costume · · Score: 5, Funny
    Mod me down all you want, but it only illustrates your own self delusion.
    Wouldn't you need to be modded up first?? :-)
  18. Cool on XPrize Founders Launch Tech Innovation Competition · · Score: 5, Funny

    Instead of fusion power constantly being 10 years in the future, it'll now be stuck at 5!

  19. Re:Wake up and join the Real World... on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 1

    Socialism has been tried many times and it just doesn't work.

  20. *sigh* on Judge: Live Performance Copyright Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Do these editors even read their own news site? Maybe there needs to be a reader approval process after an editor submits a story.

  21. Up next... on Microsoft Pockets Patent for Encouraging TV Viewing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Patents encouraging people to:

    Surf the internet
    Go to school
    Raise children
    Listen to the radio
    and to leave the toilet seat down when finished!

  22. 3 in a row on Rendezvous Renamed to OpenTalk · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wow... 3 Apple headlines in a row. Is that a record?

  23. Petition: We want Fallout 3 the way it's supposed on Bethesda Licenses Fallout Franchise, To Make Fallout 3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To: Bethesda

    We, the real Fallout fans, would like Bethesda to make Fallout 3 properly, i.e keep the key elements such as:

    -isometric view
    -Turnbased combat
    -the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system

    and NOT make Fallout 3 into an FPS released on consoles.

    Sincerely,

    The Undersigned

    Yeah, never post your server address either. Looks like it's already down with only 1 comment!

  25. Re:there's a book like that... on Electric Armor Tested For Light Armored Vehicles · · Score: 1

    True... but didn't the outlawing of computers within the story prevent people from creating remote detonators like this?
