  1. Eudora on Slashdot Asks: Which Is Your Favorite Email Client? · · Score: 1

    I still miss Eudora.

  2. A Pig With Human Consciousness? on American Scientists Working On Creating Chimeras: Half-Human, Half-Animal Embryos (ibtimes.com.au) · · Score: 5, Funny

    A pig with human consciousness? They've already succeeded! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Donald Trump.

    Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all night.

  3. Hand them over. on Thousands of Leaked KGB Files Are Now Open To the Public · · Score: 1

    Of course, when politely asked by the SVR to 'return' these documents and delete any copies, everyone will comply, right?

  4. NSA on Ask Slashdot: Good Tracking Solutions For Linux Laptop? · · Score: 0

    Not to worry, the NSA already has you taken care of.

  5. Who cares how they got their hands on it? on Massive Data Leak Reveals How the Ultra Rich Hide Their Wealth · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In this case I'd have to say, "who care how they got their hands on this data" and hope they do more work like this.

    Eat the rich.

  6. Re:Uh oh.. on Iran Tried and Failed To Launch a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 1

    Man, that mission control is probably more fun than a barrel full of monkeys...

  7. Uh oh.. on Iran Tried and Failed To Launch a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 1

    Hopefully there wasn't any monkey business on the pad before the launch, causing the failure...

  8. Of course this is completely legal... on Drunk Driver Mugshots Featured On Facebook · · Score: 1

    ...unless you're posting photographs of the police acting in an assinine manner, then, of course, you'll get arrested for violating their privacy.

  9. The next awesome novel... on Building a Global Cyber Police Force · · Score: 1

    This sounds like the next super awesome Tom Clancy novel. John Clark will be all cyborged out.

  10. Uh.. Roswell? on High-Temp Superconductors To Connect Power Grids · · Score: 4, Funny

    Seriously, Roswell?

    More likely this is going to be the supragrid where the huge alien craft will come to suck our energy away. (Think "V" The mini-series)

  11. Re:Better than "Rods from God?" on 30,000-Lb. Bomb On Fast Track For Deployment · · Score: 1

    Tungsten, not titanium. Tungsten is heavy, titanium is light, you want heavy, dense materials for kinetic weapons.

  12. Heh.. this is rich. on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 1

    Judging from a past encounter with a guy claiming to be a firefighter in Bozeman, I now wondering if they've been having problems with city employees posting questionable material. A while back I got into a bit of an argument with some guy claiming to be a firefighter from Bozeman, MT when he posted some racist garbage about President Obama on a friend's Facebook wall.

    I still have a screen shot of it and I'm now tempted for forward it along.

  13. Secure in their persons... on Finnish Guy Gets Prosthetic USB Finger Storage · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm curious about the 4th Amendment aspects of this.

    Since U.S. customs can pretty much search your laptop with impunity at the border, what about this thing since it's part of your "person".

  14. Re:National attention on Facebook Reverts ToS Change After User Uproar · · Score: 5, Funny

    You probably couldn't find the video because it violated the terms of use.

    Heyooooooooo

  15. Re:My uni apparently didn't get the memo on Ruckus Closes Down · · Score: 1

    I work for a medium-sized University and I'm curious what the CIO is going to say about this. He's the one who pushed the Ruckus thing through on our campus and I suspect this'll lead to a bit of egg on his face.

    I dunno, I guess I was just uncomfortable with the thought of putting all of my eggs (my music library) into one basket. (The Ruckus DRM servers)

  16. Shame? on Doing the Laptop Drive of Shame · · Score: 1

    I occasionally do this on purpose, especially during the warmer months, so that I can go on a nice bike ride to retrieve the "forgotten" laptop.

    Nothing shameful about it at all...

  17. Re:Local farming to suffer? on Fidel Castro Resigns · · Score: 1
  18. Local farming to suffer? on Fidel Castro Resigns · · Score: 1

    Too bad their farming self-sufficiency will once again, be at the whims of foreign multinationals because, that's what freedom is all about. Freedom to buy foreign goods and services.

    http://multinationalmonitor.org/hyper/issues/1994/11/mm1194_06.html

  19. Re:Date Rape Drug? on US, Aussie Officials Yank GHB-Producing Toys · · Score: 1

    What irritates me is that this sensationalism interferes with real research. GHB had been showing some promise as an antidepressant, but research into that is now almost impossible.

  20. Time Machine on ZFS Set To Eventually Play Larger Role in OSX · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is awesome and I knew there had to be something more interesting behind Time Machine. While I'm not that impressed with how it appears it's going to work in 10.5, later versions of OS X, with full ZFS support, will make Time Machine damned near magical.

  21. Same team.. on Soldiers Bond With Bots, Take Them Fishing · · Score: 1

    Of course, the robots are on their side, "taking one for the team" as it were. Too bad humans on the wrong team don't get this sort of consideration, ie, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, etc.

  22. Ok, this is all well and good but.. on Palm to go Linux · · Score: 1

    I thought they had this killer new OS based on Be? Palm OS 6 (Cobalt) has supposedly been out for a couple of years, and now they're going to scrap that in favor of a completely new OS based on Linux? I find this confusing but then again, I'm reminded of Apple's floundering pre-Jobs when Rhapsody was the Next-best-Thing(TM). Perhaps this is Palm trying to do the same thing?

  23. Re:I wondered when this might happen on Unlimited Wireless Plans Coming · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I jumped on Sprint when they first introduced their data service and was hooked up with their promotional $10/mo unlimited data plan. There's going to come a point where market saturation dictates that giving people more minutes just isn't going to cut it and they going to have to go with billing that reminiscent of landlines, sans the long distance fees.

    My next phone will be some EV-DO capable thing and from what I understand, Sprint will just grandfather my unlimited data plan to the new system. In my case, early adoption was a good thing.

  24. I call BS. on Puretracks Music Store Drops DRM · · Score: 2, Informative
  25. Re:What's next? on California Proposes to Ban Incandescent Lightbulbs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Stop interrupting, I'm busy peering into your windows checking to see if you left any lights on and timing the length of your showers..
