  1. When you order one... on Android Copy of Young Woman Unveiled In Japan · · Score: 1

    Make sure to specify the three orifice model.

  2. Re:this should be easy on IBM Patents Tweeting Remote Control · · Score: 1

    My 4 year old Palm Treo cellphone already does this - I have a programmable IR remote builtin and I can surf the web, twitter, send email, etc. Again, how is this not prior art?

  3. Re:Electric Gas Cans? on Plug-in Hybrids May Not Go Mainstream, Toyota Says · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The best comparison is $ per mile (or euro per km)

  4. Prior Art on Medical Consultations With Webcams Extremely Successful · · Score: 1

    I've used webcams for breast examinations for years.

  5. New Novell Misguided Marketing Slogan on SUSE Linux Becomes openSUSE · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Good on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I like competition. Maybe one of them won't be DRM'd up the ass.

    Wishfull thinking, I know...
    WTF makes this (Score:5, Insightful)?
  7. Blame The Slashdot Editors on Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't blame their webserver/fileserver for not being able to see the movie they raved about.

    It is the laziness and irresponsibility of the slashdot editors to not provide a bittorrent link.
    I am disgusted that slashdot raves about a site/file/mpeg then DDOSs
    it so that nobody sees it. This is particularly bad when a hobbyist site is crushed.

    Mod me into oblivion, I don't care.

  8. The Most Illegible Graphs. Ever. on NETI@home Data Analyzed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Shouldn't there be a butt-ugly histrograph warning?

  9. Re:A suggestion maybe on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I'm a little sick of luddites deciding matters of technology policy for the entire country.


    Whoa. I lived in Maine during the first Gulf War and had to rely on a grainy PBS signal for info. Cable was not an option and Sat TV would have a meant mini-deforrestation of my property. The arrogance of the parent comment underlies the technological isolation of rural America.

    What's next-- the forced elimination of analog radio?
  10. As Opposed to Their Old Mantra... on Microsoft's New Mantra - It Just Works · · Score: 1

    It Just Sucks.

  11. Shouldn't This Be Just-Offshoring? on Offshoring to a Ship in International Waters · · Score: 2, Funny

    Furthermore, doesn't this venture sound like a geek-cruise
    http://www.geekcruises.com/ gone bad?

    This would make an interesting reality TV show where once a week
    a coder is voted off and has to walk a gang-plank to sleep with the phishes.
    "You ARE weakest geek...Goodbye."

    Think Gillivan's Island meets The Aprentice meets MTV's The Real World
    and call it: The Virtual World

  12. Rat-In-A-Box Delivery System Prior Art on Underwater Robot to Re-Cross Gulf Stream · · Score: 3, Interesting

    While an application of this technology could be used to stealthly deliver narcotics from South America or WMD from who-knows-where. With a zero sonar fingerprint, a submarine glider drone would be tough to stop.

    And if you that was absurd, recently a WWII Japanese submarine that was orginally intended to carry plague rats to America was just found off of Hawaii.

  13. This is Great! on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1

    An inkjet tattoo for the needleprobic.

    Just think, that with the proper drivers, you can print from any application.

  14. Multiple Prior IP Agreements on Countering IP Agreements? · · Score: 1

    What happens if you had a prior IP agreement with another company? You have two companies laying claim to your prior work.

    If the first company's agreement supercedes the second, I would propose you create a company and
    assign yout IP rights to the new company prior to signing the new agreement.

  15. OT: It would be great... on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: 1
    ...if /. would generate and post a bittorrent link for all the media files BEFORE the article is posted.

    /. DDoS of content providers is so uncool.

    (I realize that NPR was posting the file later today, but do you think you could have waited before posting the article? And then provide the bittorrent link?)

  16. Re:Battery Life on TDA (Tactile Digital Assistant) the new PDA? · · Score: 1
    That's a great feature! Imagine a PDA without battery life.

    Idiot. If you had RTF link, you would had known that it is:
    ...the latest thumb-powered up-and-coming mobile device,

    By the way, how many hours per thumb do you get out of that device?

    I suppose we are going to here the whiners from the Save the Thumb Foundation now...
  17. How Disgusted Is He Over .NET? on Microsoft Developers Respond To .NET Criticism · · Score: 1
    From http://www.richardgrimes.com/
    Richard has used .NET for five years, he was on the technical preview for COM+2 which was the technology that eventually became .NET. Richard has decided to break his link with .NET, this site will continue to contain the free .NET resources that Richard has produced over the last 5 years, but Richard will no longer be available to do any more work on .NET. He will not write any more .NET articles, no more .NET books and will no longer speak at .NET conferences.
    That is one very long gravy train he has jumped off.
  18. Not On BitTorrent yet... on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 3, Informative
