  1. Re:Implants? on Airport Security vs. Cyborg Steve Mann · · Score: 1

    Dude, all you need is a few of those "581% more sperm" pills, and you can flood the plane.

  2. Re:Alternative on Robotic Mini-sub to Inspect NYC Water System · · Score: 1

    The Hudson is extremely toxic. Lots of chemicals have ended up in that water.

  3. Re:How is stripping down OS is a win for consumers on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 1

    Well, we could get the Home OS for cheaper..

    Browser: Mozilla $0
    Archive: FreeZip (Not that SpyWare "FreeZip!" crap, but another program) if you want to get picky about format, but there are many free archival utilities out there. $0
    FTP Client: GNU FTP $0

    etc etc etc

  4. New Gamesharks are bunk on Finding Cheat Codes For A Living · · Score: 1

    I just got one of the new GBC Gamesharks, with the snapshot feature. Creating Snapshots is easy, but when you go to load them back into the game, your Gameshark's memory is wiped, and it ceases to work. You have to ship it to Interact *AND* give them $10 to fix it.

    For a product that lasted 10 minutes, Thanks, but no thanks. I returned two of them... might repurchase in the future if they get their act together.

    Don't just take my word for it, check their message boards.

  5. Repeat? on 10th Anniversary of Quicktime · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Didn't you guys post about this last week?

  6. Here's a good one.. on Florida County Asks Students To Crack Elections · · Score: 1

    Student: Here's how to crack the system... *detailed report*

    Jeb Bush: Alright.. everyone got that? Good.. now kill the student.. and we can use this method when I'm up for reelection. Yay!

  7. Re:Giving Trademark holders priority... on .Info, .Biz, .Behind The Scenes At ICANN · · Score: 3

    There's no point in having alternate TLDs if the same companies are going to own their name in all of them. Let Apple Computer have Apple.com, and let some other company with Apple in the name have Apple.biz

    Seriously. All this new-TLD bulldada is going to be a total waste of time if *.com = *.biz

  8. Prior Art on Surround Lights · · Score: 3

    I saw "Tommy" at a theatre in New York. They already did something similar during a pinball sequence. Turned the entire theatre into one giant pinball game. It was pretty spiffy.

  9. Re:Fond memories on Trying To Save HyperCard For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Hypercard was great... I was writing decent-quality programs in it when I was 4 years old. Why haven't other languages progressed to the natural level of Hypertalk yet?

  10. Hypercard on EvansData can't tell BSD from Linux · · Score: 1

    Hypercard was great... I was writing decent-quality programs in it when I was 4 years old. Why haven't other languages progressed to the natural level of Hypertalk yet?

  11. Re:Matter duplication on What's Wrong With Content Protection? · · Score: 1

    Rudy Rucker also explored this in Realware...a very good book if I do say so myself.

  12. This was in the March Wired Magazine. on Public Enemy's Next Alblum Only Online · · Score: 1

    Wired Magazine had this story in their March '99 issue. Chuck D posted MP3s of unreleased Public Enemy tracks late in '98, pissing off his label, Def Jam. Def Jam's parent Polygram "sent in the suits". In January, Chuck D released a single called "Swindler's Lust", in MP4. (ick)
