  1. Re:Case of the Fridays on Woman Jailed For Starting Office Fire To Leave Work Early · · Score: 3, Funny

    YEAAAAAHHH!!

  2. Re:How long can the growth last? on Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Storage requirement would depend on DPI. You're 'only' looking at ~10PB at 600 DPI. Then again you'd expect most everything to be procedurally generated anyways...

  3. Re:We are all living in the world of Steve Jobs on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 1

    I don't see what your example has to do with multitasking. What you're asking for is a way to manipulate system settings from custom apps -- having the settings app run in the background just saves you a few 'clicks'.

  4. Re:Old computers boot from USB? on OLPC Fork Sugar On a Stick Goes 1.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well not necessarily. If the 'sugar on a stick' build expects to be able to write to the stick, you'd need to add something like UnionFS in order to be able to run it from a cdrom. Not to mention that you'd need to setup something to keep users' settings in between reboots (e.g. a usb stick).

  5. Re:Oh Noes! on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    There isn't anything in the Toyota's owners' manuals about using glue as engine oil either. What's your point?

  6. Re:Tempest in a teapot on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    Ask for a glass of water. ...I don't get it.

  7. Re:Oh Cool! on Toshiba Battery Charges In 10 Minutes · · Score: 1

    It bursts into flames and then explodes.

  8. Re:Images on front page on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1

    You could add http://images.slashdot.org/articles/ to your adblock filter, that should do the trick.

  9. Re:Then STOP releasing the product! on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Either that or it injects music into your eyeballs.

  10. O/T: The Secret Mathematic on Is Mathematics Discovered Or Invented? · · Score: 1

    Offtopic but somewhat related: Cheeseburger Brown (author of Simon of Space and The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster) is writing a story right now titled The Secret Mathematic. It's about the discovery of a new kind of math that can be used to effect (no, it's not a typo) the universe. It's up to chapter 20 so far. http://cheeseburgerbrown.blogspot.com/

  11. Re:832? on BitMicro Takes Wraps Off 832 GB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Who cares about control lines? The flash chips are what's expensive, not the addressing lines.

  12. Re:concert-recording on the cheap on Transform Cellphones Into a CCTV Swarm · · Score: 1

    That's assuming the ADC actually only samples at 8khz. It's entirely possible that the phone records audio with a sample rate and resamples it before encoding and transmitting.

  13. Block editing only? on Japanese Bureaucrats Reprimanded for Wikipedia Editing · · Score: 1

    Hm a somewhat on-topic post (yeah it's a first):

    Is it possible to allow access to wikipedia while blocking users from editing it? Perhaps using URL filtering? I know it's against the wikipedia 'spirit', but it's better than no access at all.

  14. Re:Tag: Bioweapon? on MIT Team Creates Cancer Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    He said 'cheaper'...

  15. Re:Not in major cities on Five FM iPod Transmitters Reviewed · · Score: 1
  16. Calling Gillette on Sony Debuts Razor-Thin Flexible Display · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So how long till Gillette starts pushing out razors with 6 displays for a closer, cleaner shave?

  17. Re:your job description in 4-year-old's terms on What Can 4-yr-olds Understand About Science? · · Score: 1
  18. Re:G0d@|\/|N smokers! on Internet2 Taken Out by Stray Cigarette · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you're saying that since some people leave bottles of beer everywhere, you should be able to leave cigarette butts everywhere too? Nice.

  19. Best quote on Human Head Offices Destroyed, Company Bands Together · · Score: 4, Funny

    The fire consumed the storage area at the back of the building, but Human Head's area was mostly protected by a firewall, the Madison Fire Department told Next-Gen yesterday.
  20. Again? on Are Mobile Phones Wiping Out Bees? · · Score: 1

    Ok, the haunted apiary was cool, but this time Bungie has gone to far!

  21. Re:D'OH! on Google buys DoubleClick for $3.1 Billion · · Score: 1

    It's not their assets that Google wants, it's their clients.

  22. Re:I just entered a maddox-like rage... on Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Wasn't super metroid redone on the GB Advance? on The Nintendo DS Games Wishlist · · Score: 1

    You mean Zero Mission? It was a port/enhancement of the original Metroid on the NES.

  24. Re:Stargate: Vice City on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    "When it comes to fighting crime, there's only one name in town.

    * random bad guy crashes through glass door *
    Teal: 'Indeed.'

    Teal, P.I., coming this fall."

  25. Re:Protecting your house on How to Protect a Home When Away in Winter? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I hear paint buckets swinging on ropes works pretty well.
