  1. What is heavyer than thought? on Milky Way Heavier Than Thought, and Spinning Faster · · Score: 1

    The Milky Way!

    BTW: you should see Luis Buñuel's movie of the same name:

    Incontrollable Beauty

  2. Re:The good news on Milky Way Heavier Than Thought, and Spinning Faster · · Score: 1

    Theyll probably spin and span in really weird ways though.

  3. I for one... on Milky Way Heavier Than Thought, and Spinning Faster · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thought I was drunk.

    Good to know it was the milky way spinning all too fast.

  4. Peristaltic on Carefully Timed Jerks Could Power Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Propulsion.

    Now thats an idea.

  5. It just goes to show on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    That if you are an enemy of the Mafia, you are an enemy of the state.

  6. Re:White hat? on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    We do have a "grey" hat category! :)

  7. Re:Why layoff? on Microsoft Rumored To Lay Off Thousands Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Yes well...

    Its the ONLY thing you could use on an IBM PC or clone back then.

    It was perfect, in that sense, since it was the only friggin thing you could use (...until OS2, of course, DR DOS was the same thing).

  8. Re:Irrelevant. on The Post-Bilski Era Gets Underway · · Score: 1

    ....(believe me, I've been programming since 1968)...

    Right....

    You'd have a negative slashdot UID.... duh! :P

  9. This is... on Toshiba To OEM Laptops With OpenSolaris · · Score: 0, Troll

    By far, the most ridiculous idea I have read in a very, very long time.

    I mean, if Linux has trouble going mainstream, Slowaris is gonna take forever to gain any kind of traction in that space. Nothing trully userland runs fine in that thing, you cant play almost anything and GNU software, while very good when integrated by people in the know (like the linux distro guys), is a pain to make work fine in that other thing.

    Anyhow: Sun, Toshiba, the worst of luck to you.

  10. Re:Yay on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 1

    As soon as they do the same.

  11. Yay on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 3, Funny

    NT4 is faster than vista.

    So there.

  12. Why? on Esther Dyson Grudgingly Defends Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Why not??

    Its plain stupid to think that one shouldnt encourage anonymity. Of course we should encourage it for people that need it and we sure as HELL need to warrant it as an inalienable right of the netizen.

    Stupid people wants cyberspace to work like meatspace and, in the process, want to fuck everyone else up.

    YES, its MORE IMPORTANT that trolls are respected, than to take care of "the children" online.

    We do not forbid bungee jumping. We just know who can and who cannot get up on one.

    The internet is a dangerous place, children should not roam it alone. If you worry about the kind of shit they are exposed to, ask yourself where the fuck the parents are.

  13. Dang on William Gibson's AGRIPPA Recovered and Revealed · · Score: 0

    AGRIPPA will achieve conscience just by sheer slashdotting.

  14. Here Here on BitTorrent Calls UDP Report "Utter Nonsense" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I call it nonsense too.

  15. Re:Here's an idea: NO ONE on Who Will Obama Choose As Copyright Czar? · · Score: 1

    Common sense?

    I run away from people that claim such a thing exists.

  16. Re:He had the good sense... on Who Will Obama Choose As Copyright Czar? · · Score: -1, Troll

    How does "Tha House" work for ya?

  17. Re:He had the good sense... on Who Will Obama Choose As Copyright Czar? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I was going to say Tha House, but you got it right on.

  18. He had the good sense... on Who Will Obama Choose As Copyright Czar? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of having lessig on his team. Lets hope he still has that now that he is heading to The House.

  19. Re:No, this is typical for virtually anyone sellin on What The Banned iPhone Ad Should Really Look Like · · Score: 1

    Why the counseling?

    I think that if that situation was presented in nokia's contract, much better engineering and engineers would work there.

    Time will tell.

  20. Re:Yes on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    I have no proof, but I remember some article that asserted that yes, humans once mingled with Neanderthals in that "special" way.

  21. Wrong question! on Groklaw Says Microsoft Patent Portfolio Now Worthless · · Score: 1

    Let me rephrase the question:

    Is an algorithm a machine?

  22. Ah... so this is... on Hubble's Exoplanet Pics Outshined by Keck's · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What a big ass telescope pissing contest looks like...

    And here I thought the headline would read: we can now see planets and stars beyond.

  23. What the hell is this... on Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds · · Score: 1

    "Garbage data", garbage this and garbage those that windows users talk about all the time?

    I have no garbage in my OS.

    Sure, a couple of zombies, but those are harmless.

  24. Taco is out of the closet? on Lego Loses Its Unique Right To Make Lego Blocks · · Score: 1

    Really? A life sized Emo statue?

    Modeled after CowboyNeal?

    (shivers)

  25. I am NOT the kind of guy... on Is Windows 7 Faster Or Just Smarter? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That would cut MS any kind of slack. I hate their ugly guts (and boy, all guts are ugly, but theirs...: just imagine winnt's kernel code).

    That being said, if the thing is faster in the iface, its a faster experience and that is that.

    Those are seconds saved.

    Its just stupid to hit them for doing something better, especially if you see what they are coming from: i mean, it cant be that hard to make something feel better than, for christ sakes, VISTA.
