  1. Re:When asked for his thoughts... on Injecting Liquid Metal Into Blood Vessels Could Help Kill Tumors · · Score: 1

    Offtopic??? Mods need to learn some history.

    He was the liquid metal bad guy in T2: Judgement Day.

    Oh, you must be talking about Alcide's father in True Blood #getoffmylawn

    (I rather liked him as the degenerate gambler in The Sopranos)

  2. Re:Smart Cards with PINs on DARPA Wants To Kill the Password · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean we've been using PIN numbers on these 'ATM machines' you referred to?

  3. Re:There we go again on DARPA Wants To Kill the Password · · Score: 2

    Why do they want to kill my password? What's wrong with "@13 unicorn #DARPA gangbang!"? It's secure isn't it?

    Damnit, time to change the combination on my luggage again...

    This is a state that bans passive radar detectors. Don't count on common sense prevailing.

  5. Re:Now do that with an AA-12 on Point-and-Shoot: TrackingPoint's New Linux-Controlled AR-15s · · Score: 3, Insightful

    AA-12? Sort of an overkill for a personal weapon, I'd say...

    That's loser talk.

  6. Re:For gamers? on AMD Prepares To Ship Gaming SSDs · · Score: 1

    So what would be the difference between SSDs for gamers and those for non-gamers? The specs appear to be fairly normal high end for the current SSD market, but nothing exceptional. Maybe a sticker on it displaying a demon wielding an oversized SF gun?

    Get a woman in non functional but revealing body armor or space suit and put it into production!

    Gotta love watching a favorite leftie activity: playing 'who is the biggest victim?'

    Is it me?

    If you have to ask, you are probably a white, hetero male, you oppressive rapist.

  8. Re:Check out Detroit on Tesla's Already Shopping For More Office Space · · Score: 1

    bunches of gang bangers and looters getting shot into hamburger? I'm not seeing downside.

    I'll buy that for a dollar.

    Pullleeeze. To even suggest that is to suggest that the persecution of nerds is equivalent to the persecution of African American minorities in the United States.

    Good lord, from what European country are you shouting your 'holier than thou' crap? Do you really think the US invented racism?

    Or are you just a self loathing American.

    Or better still, an Austrailian with their lovely treatment of the aboriginals?

    For as long as I can remember, both the GOP and the DNC have had these things outside (WAYYYYYYYY outside) their nominating conventions.

    While Reagan was in many ways a shitbag, the correct answer is "a pox on both their houses".

  12. Re:That kinda sucks on Sony Tosses the Sony Reader On the Scrap Heap · · Score: 1

    If its not documented, it doesn't matter what format its in - its proprietary.

    What if it's documented poorly or incorrectly?

    I get what you are saying, entirely, but doesn't slashdot pedantry require I ask if it was really a 'proprietary database'? I thought it was a piece of xml? I'm pretty sure it is on the computer, but no idea what the file is on the iPod.

    'New Detroit', eh? You know what would be a great addition to this town? Automated policing. Yeah, robots. What could go wrong?

    'shed' covers a lot of ground, linguistically.

    You get to sweating a bit, and I doubt it's good for your back in the long run, but its certainly doable

    (I used to work in a freight terminal - we would load 2 or 3 trucks with 20-30 Kg packages over a 2 hour period.. and none of us were 'buff' by any stretch of the imagination).

    The first iPods worked with everything that could mount an USB hard disk, because they nothing more than that!

    No. The first ones were Mac only. And FireWire only. (And had less space than a Nomad and no wireless, and were thus 'lame'.)
