  1. Re:Rez... on More Fun Than You Can Shake A Stick At · · Score: 1

    Are you doing something else that might possibly blow your mind?

    And now for the disclaimer where this is just an irreverant insult that isn't personal and isn't me being mean, and it's just my usual sense of humor. Please ignore me.

  2. Re:What are you going to do? Beat cancer! on ECCp-109 Solved · · Score: 1

    You may be interested in reading this little FAQ page. The most relevant question is the bottom question, which states that the IP is Oxford University's and National Foundation for Cancer Research's. Yes, they will release it to the scientific community.

  3. Re:So... on There's a Hole in the Middle of It All · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shouldn't the bottom half of the universe be swirling the other way?

  4. Re:Organic? Can you eat it? on 15" OLED Display Prototype · · Score: 1

    Of course, there is the little organic ion CN-, better known as cyanide.

  5. Larkin Decision? on Worldwide Focus On Going To The Moon · · Score: 1

    Just trolling for some humorous sci-fi karma. Nothing to see here, move along.

  6. Re:Gotta love it... on Gadget Guru Builds High-Tech Haven · · Score: 1

    "A witty saying proves nothing." - Voltaire

  7. I have a question on Ask About 10 Years of Free Web Publishing · · Score: 1

    With all of this material, can you help me find a good question to ask you? I'm sure there has to be a a good source for posting on /. in there somewhere.....

  8. Completely irrelevent parent on Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    How can the brain be more effecient at being creative? If you read the article:

    "...it was found that the longer people spent playing video games, the less activity they showed in the prefrontal region of their brains, which governs emotion and creativity."

    I always had this delusion that creativity wasn't effecient, but that it was something different and varied. I guess I could be wrong though.

  9. Re:Freon? on Microsoft Freon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, don't knock that idea. They've been running mine for the past 3 months. Whenever it crashes, it's usually up in a few minutes, and most of the time the meat isn't spoiled.

    I draw the line at having them run my liquor cabinent, though. That's one thing I never want to lock up.

  10. Re:'bots. on Cracking Down on MP3s at the Office · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the 9th Circuit Court will declare those unconstitutional soon enough.

    And no, I'm not trolling, I know that "under God" isn't in the Constitution.

  11. Is it me... on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    Or did everyone else really enjoy the opportunity to see the future of mouse gestures? Thank you, Opera and Mozilla!

  12. A point to ponder on Why isn't WiFi Used for Voice Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Although WiFi may be useful for data, I personally doubt that it will be able to enter into the entrenched voice market, such as cell phones and handheld radios. As a counterpoint, cell phones are continuously attempting to enter the data transfer area, with option like surfing the Net.

  13. A point to ponder on Review: Insomnia · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hmmm, something is odd here. The writing style is relatively lucid and clear, and there is no refrence to the post-September 11th world that we live in. There's only one logical answer: Katz cloned himself and made a few improvements while he was at it.

    Hey, even Jango had to hand over the family business to Boba eventually.

  14. What about E3? on Slashback: Pricedrops, Honor, Games · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute, they had another E3? But they had one last year! I remember because I went a couple months after paying my taxes.....

    Damn.

    Please don't tell me I have to do those every year too.....

  15. Expected trade-off on Busy Signals for Deep Space Experiments · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many can be suprised about this phenomenom? We live in a very self-centric society that is more concerned about our own interests, unless if those interfere with ours. This is a widespread attitude in this country, reaching from the common man concerned about the television programming that those satellites are beaming down and obscuring some of the DSN antennas to those at NASA and the NSA, who have also put a great many objects into orbit, including those that are taxing the system beyond its capacity.

    Scientists could continue to exacerbate the problem, as many have personal ideas about what is more important, their future NASA rovers or an improved method of keeping in contact with other projects. Funds diverted to repair and upgrade generally means that funds are diverted away from their projects, and few would readily give up funding. One of the ways to gain support for expansion and repair would have to convince people that investing in this now will have definite benefits in their projects later.

  16. One question on China Invents Solid Water · · Score: 1

    Although this is a great start for speeding the reforesting of desert ecosystems, I see one major problem. Plants generally need a moderately reliable source of water, and this doesn't create an infrastructure solution that would be necessary to start a new ecosystem within an existing one.

  17. It could be worse on Slashback: Swiftness, Ender's, Streams · · Score: 2, Funny

    At least the grammar on /. submissions will be better than on TRL, this crowd appreciates the finer points of the English language.

    Wait a minute......
