    I'll trade a fresh copy of humor 2.0 for that daughter 1.0 of yours.

  2. Just suppose.. on The Failure of the $100 Laptop? · · Score: 1

    That every laptop comes with instructions om how to google. A person in a third world country might try strings like: "how do i clean/desalinate drikning water", "how do i prevent getting aids", "wtf is a solar oven and how do i make one so that i don't have to spend all frikkin day gathering wood", "how do i play freerolls", "are there any crops besides opium i can grow on my farm NOT food since food grown in my country has to compete with imports at zero price". etc, etc.

  3. Yes. on Ballmer Says Linux "Infringes Our Intellectual Property" · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to laugh!

    (You are welcome)

  4. Re:Off by one.. on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    "Then it's not an antenna."

    True, however they referred to as one in the article and didn't bother to correct that.

    "These kind of fields drop off as the cube of the distance, making them mostly useless."

    Again true, exept for very low values for "distance".

  5. Jokes? on Wikipedia Explodes In China · · Score: 1

    Is that something Tesla was working on that was recently discowered and developed for use over shorter distances?

  6. Off by one.. on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    "There's no way for an antenna to "reabsorb" the uncollected power."

    Actually there is since, in this case, it is not radiated as RF-energy, it is simply stored in a near-field.

    Most people don't know the difference, but the phenomenon is related to the one that makes bulb fronts more efficient in ships and makes sumbarines move with less friction below the surface that at it.

  7. Local laws may void the label. on PS3 Opened For Pictures · · Score: 1

    In some countries the mfg. has to prove that it was your actions that broke the device, in order for them not to have to cover damages under warranty.

  8. So how much is all this going to cost? on The Ballpark Stadium of the Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    Give me a ballpark figure.

  9. "BCMWL5.SYS" on Code Execution Bug In Broadcom Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is slashdot, you are supposed to guess the OS from the filename of the device driver.

  10. Re:No more nut grabs for you! on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    No sorry, not even that does it. In that case the police report should say "He fondled my nuts rather hard." NOT "The suspect sustained severe facial injuries while repeatedly bashing his face against my fist."

  11. Maby you should read the comments. on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch · · Score: 1

    It's not all sony bashing, the majority seems quite the opposite.

  12. into a building? on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch · · Score: 1

    "If police were present, then the homeless & Chinese nationals who stood in line to resell the units would simply walk down the street and into a building before engaging in the transgressions being griped about."

    I didn't know it was illegal to sell something you own in Japan, I thought the people wanted the police to be there to maintain order in the unruly line.

  13. Re:No more videogames for you! on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    None of that applies to the examples given. And the polica can "edit" the footage just as easily by moving the appropriate parts of the action off-camera.

    And if we go back to the You-tube video that is featured in this story.. what could have possibly been edited out that exuses puching someone that is being held down in the face?

  14. No more videogames for you! on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    "without seeing the part where that person drew a gun and threatened the cop"

    In reality a persons weapon does NOT magically disappear the moment they are shot. Only if the person being shot already has lost hin gun; when he is shot, will it seem that the officer is doing something shady.. And in that case he actually is!

  15. What does it tell you about you own country.. on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When you have to find the worst possible to compare yourselt to, in order to seem good?

  16. Of course.. on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    That is where we see the stuntmen dress up as cops and robbers and, plan the scene - Because there is no other situation that whould exuse what we see in the video.

  17. Re:in certain cases, this would be appropriate on Wikipedia Used To Spread Virus · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes.

  18. A better question.. on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    Why where the fishermen capturing dolphins in the first place?

  19. Wow! on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    What a creative interpetation of the word "nobody" you have :)

  20. Re:Contract schmontract! on FCC Nixes Airport's Ban On Private Net Access · · Score: 1

    Trying to shut it down constitutes a crime, such a term in a contract is usually null and void.

  21. Contract schmontract! on FCC Nixes Airport's Ban On Private Net Access · · Score: 1

    The law says that the only ones allowed to regulate radio traffic are the FCC.. it makes no difference who has a contract with whom..

  22. How many upgrades does it take.. on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Before Microsoft has spent more money supporting a licenced customer than thay gained from the sale?

  23. No need to cancel on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to precedent set by the supreme court, adding another 10 years untill the next election every ninth years does not count as setting it off indefinitely. (For reference see the whole extension of copyrights debacle)

  24. Allright but.. on AnalogWhole, an Alternative To FairUse4WM · · Score: 1

    Will it run on Vista?

  25. Re:Lack of ethics on How to Hack the Vote and Steal the Election · · Score: 1

    That has already been tried.. *surprise* *surprise* companies don't fix bugs unless their customers demand it.
