  1. So, you're littering in space? on Exit Interview: Scott Kelly (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you explain more about "[w]e help each other getting trash off the space station without telling the folks in Houston."

    This sounds very suspicious.

  2. No Max lifespan? on New Study Suggests There's a Limit To How Long People Can Live (go.com) · · Score: 1
  3. Quadcycle on Autonomous Cars? How About Autonomous Bikes? · · Score: 1

    I count four wheels, not two.

  4. Re:I thought they were both the same. on Black Hole's "Point of No Return" Found · · Score: 5, Informative

    as i understand it, the Event Horizon is the singularity limit from which light cannot escape. the Innermost Stable Orbit is the closest distance a physical object in space can orbit the black hole without being sucked into it.

  5. That link cleaned up on Black Hole's "Point of No Return" Found · · Score: 5, Informative
  6. Re:Knife professional on Ask Slashdot: How Did You Become a Linux Professional? · · Score: 0

    I prefer "Blade Master."

  7. "Pam, call 911" on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 0

    I love that they were ready (by the phone) for any emergency situation.

  8. Re:As for the hardware... on Best Way To Build A DIY UAV? · · Score: 0

    use the iPhone. It has a good hard drive for programming and picture storage. Also its accelerometer, built in geotagging and GPS capability, along with its built in camera.

    "Want to build a DIY cruise missile? There's an App for it."

  9. it figures, on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 0, Troll

    why are the cute ones always dumb?

  10. He's a genius on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    Shampoo is a mad genius who can save the world. I think that the Shampoo phenonmenon can take the world like "All your base..." on crack. I have invented t-shirts that have LED displays that spout random 'inventions' from a random text generator at random intervals. At the bottom of the shirt in bold glitterly lettering will be the words, "This idea was invented by Shampoo." This idea was (not) invented by Shampoo.

  11. Technologists Unite!! on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    None of us know all the facts of the situation, but I think it's pretty obvious that this guy was just trying to maintain his livelyhood through a misguided attempt at job security. If we had an IT Union looking out for our careers that gave us some sort of protection against the arbitrary whims of upper-management, then maybe this wouldn't have happened.

    As for the idea that the guy might have shared his password with some unscrupulous feind... how many of you, had you actually been given admin access to SAN FRANSISCO would really share that password with anyone? Drastic, misguided, sure... but stupid? Come on, there had to be a reason he got the job in the first place.

  12. Whee! on Sony Announces FFXI-Bundled PS2 Hard Drive · · Score: 0, Redundant

    this is something to look forward to.

  13. Waht about the raw information? on Fiber-Optic Map: A Classified Dissertation? · · Score: 1

    Has there been any mention of making the information, rather than his collection of the information, classified? sounds like another case of putting a top-secret band-aid on a sympthom and forgetting about the disease it self.

    Q: Which came first, the chicken, or the egg?
    A: I'm sorry but reasons of national security that question cannot be answered.

  14. Re:STILL NOT FIXED on Security Vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Passport · · Score: 1

    i tested it with a friend's account. it seems that a page comes up displaying the message that the email has been sent, however, it has not arrived in my inbox.

  15. Re:Moral obligation? on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 3, Funny

    When there is talk in Congress about making cyber-crimes punishable by life-imprisonment, Symantec has a resposibility to warn the masses about Internet threats. They have a reputation as "the anti-virus company" and as such they have to live up to that reputation. To say that they will sit on information that they know will disrupt millions of people, businesses, and educational instituitons andonly provide warnings to the people that pay them is admittance or extortion.

    "GIVE US THE LOOT, OR YOUR PC WILL NOT BOOT!"

    Prosecute them.

  16. Re:Humourous aside.. on New Boxes For Captain Crunch · · Score: 1

    yeah, he crashed at my pad for a week or so back in 98ish. he has some interesting characteristics, to say the least. eventually, my roomie made me kick him out.
