  1. WTF on Gone Fission · · Score: -1, Troll

    WTF is this?
    They are called nuclear worms because they are hot pink.
    The government is considering regulating them because the government regulates things.
    Now why the hell is /. covering this?

    The snakehead in the pond were somewhat interesting, they had to figure out a bio-friendly way to kill everything in the pond. Go figure.

  2. What you say? on Interview with LGames' Michael Speck · · Score: 1

    Tetris over Pacman?
    Blasphemy!

  3. Re:Always a good thing... on Linux on Xbox One Step Closer? · · Score: 1

    Even better when you link 3 X-Boxes,and play 12 players.

    Special game R-Type Pie.
    50 kills
    Rockets only.

    Tried to OC your toaster to toast bread in 6 seconds, only to have an ufortunate accident with the Nos?

  5. Re:Pneumatic Muscles on Funky Robotic Hand · · Score: 2, Informative

    Pneumatic cylinders can only push(unless you draw a vacuum). However, it appears that it is not a cylinder, but some rubber hose. Rather interesting I say.

    From the website:

    The Air Muscle consists of a rubber tube covered in tough plastic netting which shortens in length like a human muscle when inflated with compressed air at low pressure.

    The Core of an Air Muscle is a rubber tube.... ....wrapped in a tough plastic weave.... ....which shortens in a scissor action when pulled out, just like a Chinese finger puzzle. As the rubber tube fills with air it is forced to expand

  6. Hmmm on Digital Microfluidics · · Score: 1

    Interesting concept, but what uses?

  7. Re:It deeply concerns me that the RIAA is offline on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    Can you say slashdotted?

  9. Need...more....height.... on R2D2 Beer Getting Machine · · Score: 1, Insightful

    At 15" tall it is not tall enough to get into my fridge and get me my beer, nor to hand it to me when I am sitting comfortably on the couch.

  10. Damn on More on Bernstein's Number Field Sieve · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Should have taken more then trig, then I might understand the story.

    Now all I have to do is wait for hardware that supports 2.0.

  13. X-10 replacement? on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    The new, improved X-10? /me fears the new onslaught of pop-up adds....

  14. And the reason for that is on Motorola's i95cl · · Score: 1

    Incompatable formats.
    TDMA and GSM are incompatable formats. My phone, the Nokia 3360 works just fine with Cingular, which uses TDMA. Sprint dosn't, and so my phone dosn't work with Sprint.
    Also, the Cingular sales rep was open about the fact that phones besides the ones in store worked, just to make sure that it supported TDMA.

  15. "all-in-wonder phone" on Motorola's i95cl · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'll buy one when it has a real keyboard.
    Ever try sending a message on a keypad? MAJOR pain in the ass. You can use chat-shorthand to send message to friends, but replying to business email? Where is the spll chker?

  16. Pop goes the weasel on Myths about Internet growth · · Score: 1

    Defated the internet bubble, then popped themselves.

  17. Re:Geothermal Heat Exchange on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    Looks like a sales brochure. Tax dollars at work. :-/

    I didn't see any numbers in there on the inital investment. Digging a big hole, pipes, circulator pump...

    Sure it will save energy in the long term, but how much extra energy is expended by that big diesel backhoe used to dig the hole? Not to mention the fact that the backhoe is a much dirtier source of energy then the powerplant.

    The 'oh-it-uses-half-as-much-but-takes-twice-as-much-t o-install' routine...
    But it would be cool for the unique-ness of it.

  18. Graduate of two high schools? on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From the article.
    "Carrier graduated from both Angola High School and the old Hutchinson-Central High School in Buffalo."

    How do you graduate from two high schools?

    The sad thing is, I actually write that on real paper. :-/

    Too much time in #FIRSTrobotics will rot your spelling.

  21. Re:What about Morris? on Happy Birthday Code Red · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was curious, so I did some research on what teh Morris Worm was. (I was 4 at teh time it was released)

    All About Morris
    Wikipedia
    It seems that a college kid wrote a small prgram to propagate itself to as many computers as it could, and try to run in the background unnoticed. But due to a bug(s) it copied itself manytimes over and ran multiple times on teh same machine, causeing to slow to a point of being unusable.

    It infected 6,000 VAX machines in November of 1988.

    Gotta love Google

  22. Cable TOS on Peercast: Peer-to-Peer Streaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder what my cable provider has to say about this....

    I know they forbid hosting/serving, but does this count?

    Anyone read the TOS agreement for Cox recently?

  25. What technology is used? on Analyzing Olympic-Size Accessibility Flaws · · Score: 0

    I am wondering how the blind read a website. Do they use software to read it to them, or do they use a fancy printer device that displays Braille so they can read it that way? Or something else entirely.

    Just curious.
