  1. Re:traffic on Researchers Test Drive Bus With Automated Steering · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ahem... any bus without any driver, and only the intelligence of a brick on the accelerator, is able to travel through traffic. It's generally better if it goes around the traffic.

  2. Oh, the plumbing... on Robots Are Net's Future, Says Vint Cerf · · Score: 1

    If you thought the intartubes were slow now, wait until they get clogged with all those robots crawling through them.

  3. Re:Robot for President 2008 on Robots Are Net's Future, Says Vint Cerf · · Score: 2, Funny

    Aha, there's another Gore voter.

  4. Re:Artic! on Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    There is no North Poland.

  5. Re:The jury's still out on "Google Satellite" To Be Launched This Week · · Score: 1

    Satellite: not evil. Just be sure to do no evil with your ICBM while you're flying it, guys.

  6. Wait, Wait, So Tell Me... on Geoffrey Perkins Is Dead At 55 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Legendary comedy writer and producer Geoffrey Perkins has died in a road accident in London.

    Hey, you neglected to say what road! It is, of course, quite relevant that it was Marylebone High Street, as that of course is rather high for him to have shifted over from Town Hall Approach Road.

  7. And then... on Preparing Computer and Cellular Networks For a Hurricane · · Score: 1

    Step 4: Arizona!

  8. Won't replace my N800 on Gamepark Holdings Officially Announces the WIZ Handheld · · Score: 1

    OK, so it has a faster CPU than my N800, and more buttons. But lower resolution screen, and has no WiFi nor Bluetooth networking. So can't access the Internet and have to download files to cards on another device (such as by using my N800). Not for me, I guess.

  9. Re:Okay, other options on LHC Fully Documented Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    Being able to duplicate an experiment is important to science, so we obviously need many people to build Large Hadron Colliders. I'm not doing anything this weekend, so where's the party?

  10. Who would have thought Arsenic was bad for you? on California Classes LED Component Gallium Arsenide a Carcinogen · · Score: 2, Funny
    Who would have thought that a simple natural element such as Arsenic could be bad for you?

    But they haven't warned about gallium arsenide phosphide so the yellow, orange, and red LEDs must be safe.

  11. Re:Coldest year my ass.... on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...tell that to my $300+ powerbill for AC.

    Quit paying the ACs, that only makes them post more.

  12. Google says... on Canadian Privacy Czar Wants To Anonymize Court Records On the Web · · Score: 1
  13. Flying by statistic on Japan Demands Probe of iPod Nano Flameouts · · Score: 5, Funny

    Only a tiny percentage of planes burst into flames, too.

  14. Build GPL Gray-Hoverman antenna on Best Terrestrial/OTA HDTV Setup For an Apartment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Build the Gray-Hoverman antenna which we discussed recently. It's a grid plane with a few bent wires in front.

  15. Re:Impossible! on How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth? · · Score: 1

    You have to state the question in the form of a Wiki measurement. You lose the amount which you bid.

  16. Re:Impossible! on How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth? · · Score: 1

    Oh, help him out. The answers are 3, 12, 4.5, 42, 8, none, 7, 11, sometimes, and Delta Gamma Kappa.

  17. Re:So 0+0=1! on Theorists Make Quantum Communications Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    +0.01, Crazy

  18. Re:Channel theory link broken on Theorists Make Quantum Communications Breakthrough · · Score: 4, Funny

    Observers have indeed changed the state of the target to dead.

  19. Judge reading? Good judge. on USAF Violates DMCA, Escapes Unscathed · · Score: 1

    Oh, good. Another judge reading what is actually in copyright law.
    Wait, does he have a license to do that?
    Does the copyright law say that a license to practice law allows him to read that text and do whatever he wants with it?

  20. Ranking not /.ed on Brian May, Rock Legend, Publishes His Thesis · · Score: 1

    "Amazon.com Sales Rank: #295,003 in Books"
    Someone hasn't bought their copy yet.

  21. Re:Blame the Canadians, of course! on Canada Comet Lengthened the Ice Age · · Score: 1

    And you can't have your diamonds back either. You didn't pick up your litter, so we had to do it.

  22. Re:Volunteers? on Alaska Looks To Volcanos For Geothermal Energy · · Score: 1

    So, how many virgins per minute does it require to keep going?

    This is Slashdot. Your question is making people...uncomfortable.

    Yeah, we haven't figured out how many virgins go into a Library of Congress.

  23. Re:Easy on How Do You Deal With Sensitive Data? · · Score: 1, Funny

    the next person you hire to fill the roll

    Fortunately it doesn't tend to take much training to replace a bakery worker. Whether you're filling the rolls by hand or by machine, whoever fills the role should get up to speed quickly.

  24. Re:Notice from NOAA to Lunar X Prize Participants on NOAA Requires License For Photos of the Earth · · Score: 1

    Here a picture of the road to hell. It runs through that building. Looks like a sub-orbital photo, and in 1921 I doubt the proper license was acquired.

  25. Re:Caching would be great here too on Vint Cerf Preps Interplanetary Internet Protocol · · Score: 1

    Or put the technology in Earth cars and pass data around between vehicles moving around. Send traffic conditions back to the cars behind you, via both the cars behind you and the cars going the other way.
