  1. Looks like the IPv6 code needs some work, then... on Transparent IPv6 with Linux? · · Score: 0

    You shouldn't be too disappointed with beta code, in any case.

  2. Isn't it nice to know... on IETF and wiretapping standards · · Score: 1

    that they're working on a standard to spy on us?

  3. Exactly. on Loki to Release Heretic II and Heavy Gear II · · Score: 1

    This leads to the question of whether everyone should be able to moderate a story, or if we'll have the same concept of moderators for stories.

    I believe that allowing all users to moderate a story wouldn't work too well, so perhaps allowing the oldest two thirds of users that aren't compulsive Slashdot readers and aren't casual readers to moderate would work well.

    This could really allow stories that would normally fall through the cracks to be seen by everyone. This is a Good Thing(tm). Opinions?

  4. Erm, this is ridiculous. on Loki to Release Heretic II and Heavy Gear II · · Score: 1

    We should be able to moderate stories in the same way we can moderate comments. This would help cut down on redundant junk.

    Just a thought.

  5. Re:"Emergency Black Hole Response Team" on New Heavy Ion Collider could "destroy the earth" · · Score: 1

    That's kind of a dumb idea, given that "Any mass that is consumed increases the size of the black hole. Given enough surrounding mass, growth increases at an exponential rate..." Better not put too much trash in there. # Zoot

  6. Nerves, reflex arcs... on Ask Slashdot: Storage Capacity of the Human Brain? · · Score: 1

    Nice.

    Neurons do not conduct the electrical impulse between cells because once the impulse reaches the terminal fibers of the nerve, little sacs filled with neurotransmitters are triggered, which release the chemicals. The neurotransmitters reach the dendrites of the next nerve, which in turn launches an impules which reaches its terminal fibers, and so on and so forth. The neurotransmitters are very quickly broken down by enzymes in the synapses to prevent nerves from constantly firing. (How much would it suck to touch a hot stove and have your hand feeling pain until the neurotransmitters decomposed?)


    On little niggle though, the reason your hand jerks back from a hot stove before you feel it is because the heat sensory neurons in your hand get triggered by the heat, and the signals travels to your spine, which responds for your brain by sending the signal to motor neurons which then jerk your hand back. This all happens as the signal is traveling to your brain, which then interprets the signals as heat.

  7. More like AOL sucks the llama's ass... on AOL acquires WinAMP, Spinner, SHOUTcast · · Score: 0

    I think we all ought to boycott Winamp, reverse engineer SHOUTCast, and port X11Amp to Windows. Oh well. Remember boys and girls, "AOL sucks the llama's ass." = )
