  1. Last sentence on Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation · · Score: 1

    "Since electronic control modules were not built into most cars until well after 1972, the system will not work on automobiles without the ECM chips."
    FTFY.

  2. Death to EA! on Electronic Arts Purchases BioWare, Pandemic · · Score: 1

    Anyone else remember Air Warrior?

  3. Re:Hmmm. on How To Address A Visit from MPAA Senior VP Rich Taylor? · · Score: 1

    C'mon, it's Slashdot, not Fark.

  4. My first accepted submission in 8 years on Torrentspy Disables Searching For US IPs · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Woot!

    My mom will be so proud.

  5. Re:already slashdoted on Linus Torvalds Speaks Out on Future of Linux · · Score: 1

    Cache is farked too.

    Next!

  6. Re:Not a Gentoo user on Linus Torvalds Speaks Out on Future of Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not to be too pedantic (yeah right), but you end up with the same product, so that analogy is kind of flawed. More like the waiter asking you 40-50 questions about how you want each part of your meal prepared, to the point where you get really exasperated and say "Just give me the damn surf and turf and don't burn it please."

  7. Re:The future of linux on Linus Torvalds Speaks Out on Future of Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The development of something like a kernel NEEDS a dictator, and if Linus walks away, who is going to have the credibility and/or authority to keep a handle on it? I worry that an advisory 'board' or 'panel' would be the death by a thousand cuts that could really mess up kernel development for linux.

  8. Re:Not a Gentoo user on Linus Torvalds Speaks Out on Future of Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Gentoo is like going to a restaurant, ordering your dinner, and having the chef take you back into the kitchen and put you to work making your own meal. I like an OS with a little LESS configurability than Gentoo. Some like it though.

  9. Re:i'll do you one better on Fox Hacks Fark · · Score: 1

    Did you ever get your new user/password code working? Because I'd be on there if it is.

  10. Re:NO! on Storm Worm Rising · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Try password protecting your zip file.

  11. Re:Features? on Can You Handle 'THEY'? · · Score: 4, Funny

    From the feature list: unique weapon system that makes you "love" your weapons what the fuck does that mean?
    If it means what it sounds like it means, that's seriously creepy.
  12. Re:slashdotted alrady? on The Perfect Phone Storm? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Worked for me...

    Good article, shows up quite a bit of bias on the part of certain 'reviewers'... But if you actually believed they were impartial in the first place, I've got a great bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

  13. It's a worm hole on Massive Cave Found on Mars · · Score: 1

    He who controls the spice, controls the universe.

  14. The first thing I thought of when I saw the pic on Chairbot Walks You Around While You Sit · · Score: 1


    Was Robotech. I can't wait. The future is Macross, baby.

  15. It's not news... on It's Not News, It's Fark · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's Slashdot.

  16. Re:It's the roast that matters the most on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I agree, Jamaican Blue Mountain is quite possibly the WORST coffee this side of the convenience store crap.
    We actually went up to a Blue Mountain coffee farm and got some on a day trip. The trip was more interesting than the coffee.

  17. I think I get it on Scientists Offer New Way to Read Online Text · · Score: 1

    So, poetry?

  18. Maybe, just maybe... on Are End Users to Blame for OS Flaws? · · Score: 1

    The developers are listening to the wrong people.

  19. Re:Not very long... on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Considering my user number is low 5 digits and yours is six, I'd say "uh, no".

    However I very well may have underestimated the geekiness factor by 100 or so.

  20. Re:Not very long... (clue) on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    It's not obscure because you found a website with Cliff's Notes on it? Is that your definition of mainstream? ;)

  21. Re:Not very long... on Censoring a Number · · Score: 4, Funny

    Amazing. When combined with the output of a certain Riemann-zeta function, it comes out "COMSTOCK". /obscure.

  22. Re:Not very long... on Censoring a Number · · Score: 5, Funny

    What would be cool is if everyone put the key in their sig.

  23. Well on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Guess we'll see. Story got greenlit, so the key shouldn't be too long in coming.

  24. Re:the internet in a nutshell on A Succinct Definition of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    So it's less like a telephone system and more like a sewer system? I can see that.

  25. Re:Nice locations on Google Confirms $600M South Carolina Data Center · · Score: 1

    It's pretty obvious you didn't bother to look at a map before you posted this. Or any statistics or BEC information either.

    Bzzzt!
