  1. Re:Not feasible on China Wants To Establish Moon Mining · · Score: 1

    What if the moon was made of green cheese? Would you eat it?

    I'd eat it, I think it'd be delicious.

  2. Re:Jesus... on CAPPS II Trials Begin in March · · Score: 1

    He said intra-continental. Last I checked, the polar icecap was not within any continent.

  3. Re:Not even sharing, just showing really on Microsoft Opens Source to China · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why they'll assimilate them of course.

  4. Re:leave them alone on Congress Asks Universities To Enforce Copyrights · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not just those. Everyone should be vigilant. Big Brother is watching, but he needs your help. Turn in your neighbours, your brothers, your sisters, your parents. They are a plague on society and must be re-educated.

    Oh, and your chocolate ration has been increased from 10 grams to 5 grams.

  5. Re:And Project Prometheus... on Funding Approved for Pluto/Kuiper Probe · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Not much different than most mil bases on Los Alamos Security Infiltrated By Reporter · · Score: 1

    If Hitman 2 has taught me anything, it's that you can easily enter high security facilities. All you have to do is kill a guard, steal his clothes, steal his gun, and walk past the other guards. They'll ignore the bullet holes in your uniform.

    Oh, and make sure to drag the guard's body out of the way so that no one finds him. Don't worry, no one will sound the alarm when he doesn't check in.

  7. Re:hand? on Soundless Music? · · Score: 1

    Or you can just clap with one hand like Bart does: hit the palm of your hand with your fingertips

  8. Re:Bzzzzt... on Record Label Thrives Selling CDRs · · Score: 1

    If you look closely at silver burned cds, you can see where the track ends unless it's filled to the edge.

  9. Re:As has been pointed out. . . on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not sure if format /mbr works, but fdisk /mbr definately works.

  10. Re:The Mario series on NES PC · · Score: 1

    You missed Mario Land for gameboy. You got to fly a plane for some reason.

  11. Re:Foreign passports require biometrics? on US Immigration Implements Biometric-based Border · · Score: 1

    How does that work with Canada? Last I checked, I didn't need a passport to visit the US. Just some form of ID (birth certificate or drivers license I think).

  12. Re:so wait... You're telling me that all I have to on Don't Sever A High-Tech Lifeline for Musicians · · Score: 1

    Listened to music with his non-copy-protected ears. He heard music for free!

  13. Re:Nothing new here.... on Power Companies Offering Cable (TV, Net) Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wait a minute. Are you saying that your cable company is actually having to compete with someone? My cable company, phone company, and the satellitte providers all seem to enjoy working together to maximize their profits. Where's my fibre to my door for cheap?

  14. Re:Get Used to It on Australian Gov't Lobbied To Implement Media Levies · · Score: 1

    Thankfully, the same time the levy was introduced in Canada, the copyright act was changed to allow us to copy music. If I beg, borrow, rent, or steal (physically) a CD and make a copy of it for personal use, I'm not breaking copyright laws. The original can then be returned to the owner.

  15. Re:Easy! on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you want that? We have those stations in Canada. They're called the CBC. Listen to them for a while, sometimes they're good, other times you wonder "Why are my tax dollars paying for this?"

  16. Re:Outside of radio markets on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 1

    You mean you can't even get AM stations in? Even at night? I'm in SW Ontario and I get at least one station from South Carolina with just a cheap radio. I find it hard to believe that no stations at all come in.

  17. Re:Cyber Crime and other crime on Appropriate Punishment For Crackers? · · Score: 1

    Or you can check to see if they weigh the same as a duck. If they do, then logically they would be made of wood. Wood floats. Thereforce, they're a witch!

  18. Re:Toilet-Water CPU (and PSU) Cooler on Water Cooled Power Supply · · Score: 1

    How does this work with those low-flow toilets people in the US are forced to buy? Aren't they a big enough problem without taking a bucket of water out of the flush?

    Now Canadians, with our big water-guzzling toilets, can use this solution. Americans will be forced to smuggle toilets across the border.

  19. Re:Charge something nominal for ROMs? on Proposed Set-Top MAME Emulation Console · · Score: 1

    You mean that term that doesn't appear in copyright laws and has no legal basis?

  20. Re:The problem on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 1

    A date? You do realize that you're posting on slashdot, don't you?
    /obvious

  21. Re:*Old Man Rant* on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    You mean this?

    And what of the immortal soul in such transactions? Can this machine transmit and reattach it as well? Or is it lost forever, leaving a soulless body to wander the world in despair?

    -- Sister Miriam Godwinson,
    "We Must Dissent"

    Yay for Alpha Centauri!

  22. Re:They should use that map... on Inside Symantec's 'Security Center' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That got me thinking. How do they distinguish between real attacks and network admins testing things. If I decide to ping my home machine from work until it screams for mercy, does that show up on their map?

  23. Re:Consider the significance... on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 1

    I believe that's "PC Load Letter -- what the fuck does that mean?"

  24. Re:That's not gonna work. on Computer Room Hot? · · Score: 1

    That must be what's happened in this place. This room has a whole lot of computers and warm bodies in it but it's damned cold in here. And if I think it's cold, my co-workers must be freezing.

  25. Re:bandwidth cost on Breakdown of Bandwidth Costs? · · Score: 1

    All of your customers are satisfied? That sounds like my ISP when they said no one complained when they cut speeds in half.
