  1. Re:If we can afford war, we can afford space on 30 Years Since Last Man on the Moon · · Score: 1

    Yes but if we spend money to go to space then we can't afford this. And that is much more important now isn't it. Besides its practically the same thing.. Wait no its not.. Forget I said anything lets go back to the war on Iraq now.

  2. Re:I call Shenanigans on Hemos on When Personalization Runs Amuck · · Score: 1

    What? You cant moderate Hemos this aint no democracy like Kuro5hin this is a dictatorship!

  3. Re:Tracking Eye Movements on Holograms - The Future Without The Funny Glasses · · Score: 1

    The one at 3dmedia.com seems like it has much more resolution and seems better there used to be pictures on that page but now there isn't, it still looks interesting though.

  4. Re:libraries are most certainly 31337... on Libraries Are 31337 · · Score: 1

    Nah, you got it wrong. Script kiddies couldn't write their 31337 c0d3 to attack things without their visual basic libraries. Thats how libraries are 1337.

  5. Re:Not all free OS games are lame. on Tux Vs Clippy - New XBox Game · · Score: 1

    Screw nethack. Get progress quest instead, its soo much more efficient... Well it is until you find the secret 3d mode when your character reaches level 125... or so...

  6. This story on google news front page on Apple Releases Rendezvous As Open Source · · Score: 1

    Google picked this article to put on their news main page. Slashdot is considered a better news source by googles algorithms than the 11 related sources that google has for this story I guess...

  7. if you think assembly is useless... on Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers, 4th edition · · Score: 1

    look at this program, a 3d raytraced tube, written in assembly in 32 bytes here.

  8. Re:RIAA's obligitary business plan post on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    No, its like this:
    1) Sue customers
    2) Sue now former customers
    3) Sue everyone who uses the internet
    4) Sue everyone again for good measure especially all those communist sharing programs
    5) Profit!

  9. I hope CG replaces actors on Will CGI Collapse the Hollywood Economy? · · Score: 1

    Think about it, so many people idolize actors so much, its stupid. I mean, they accomplish absolutely nothing and contribute nothing to society yet they make millions and live easy. Maybe if they get replaced by 3d models people will realize that the whole idea of paying actors millions for playing a part in a movie is horribly stupid.

  10. Re:Radio Shack on Slashback: Playstation, CueCat, Games · · Score: 1

    Wow, if this will stop you from going back to radio shack ever again then you would probably love Fry's electronics... They just take returned all broken or returned merchandise, slap a sticker on it and stick it back on the shelf. Hey, at least they arent wasting anything...

  11. Re:Big Brother.... on LindowsOS.com Email Lists Collected For MS Suit · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Didn't have a choice? I thought the point of lindows was to "bring choice to your computer". I guess they aren't living up to their own slogan

  12. Re:New ICBM delivery method? on Magnetic Space Launches · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't have to visably announce anything if you put it somewhere like inside a mountain which happens to be the same location as the norad command center. All you would need is a long track in the mountain and a hole on one side.

  13. How about one thats already built? on University of Illinois uses a Cluster for Immersive VR · · Score: 1

    Have you ever heard of the visbox? Its a cave system that is pre built and pre configured, www.visbox.com

  14. XBOX MAME on Strong Hints On Flashing Your Xbox · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Someone already made an XBOX MAME emulator that supposedly runs at 60fps. However he cant release it because of legal restrictions and it only works on the developer xboxes now. His website is http://www.otakunozoku.com/xbox/

  15. Re:x86.. on Do You Remember Bob? · · Score: 1

    nah dont get darkbasic get jamagic its like javascript but 3d. here Supposedly they are making a linux version soon.

  16. Re:Hack a Biobug. on Hackable Christmas Presents? · · Score: 1

    Check out http://www.solarbotics.net/biobugs/default.htm by the makers of some beam robot kits- they took apart a bio bug and it looks easy to hack, there is plenty of room left over in the shell and Mark Tilden made it to be hackable.

  17. people will clone humans anyway on Cloned Animals Show Grave Health Problems · · Score: 1

    Just because the clones may get sick or die wont stop people from doing it. The people that would do it obviously dont care about what others think, whether its ethically right or legal etc. They would do it so they could be the first if for no other reason

  18. Most ppl dont have broadband on The Modem Lives On · · Score: 1

    If you have bad ping to different games it could be because of the physical distance between you and the host/server also most people dont have broadband so if you play with all/mostly dial up people the lag shouldnt be too bad.

  19. Where napster gets money: They don't on Napster Offers $1B For Music-Swapping Rights · · Score: 1

    1. Advertising on napster.com
    2. Royalties on napster shirts (at least some money)
    That cant amount to much tho... So if napster pays 200 million to the RIAA this year, they'll be down 200 million and they arent even charging anything. Besides, it isn't like they will get 200 million instantaniously. Well it does look like napster will stop itself from bankrupcy with this offer.

  20. Competition on Human clones priced at $50,000 · · Score: 1

    Look at this article in the newest issue of wired: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.02/projectx.h tml I think this guy won't win the race to clone humans. As this article says, a human may have already been cloned but just not come forward to tell anyone that.
