  1. Re:Secretion message on The History of Invisible Ink · · Score: 1

    Have you watched any James Bond movies? Why would you need magazines when you had all these women swarming you all the time.

  2. Alternate theory on Why Some People Don't Have Fingerprints · · Score: 1

    Maybe their parents sold their fingerprints to support their MMO habits.

  3. Re:One small step for man... on NASA's Juno Blasts Off To Investigate Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Since we no longer have any way to get people into space, this is the only way they can claim anything like manned space flight. Even if the new "men" are "action figures" (don't call them dolls). These "action figures" will soon gain enough "rights", that they will be able to lay claim on any planets they land on.

  4. Married? on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 1

    These Wikipedia people must not be slashdotters. They actually meet people of the opposite gender?

    Well, my ISP has similar rules, except they will also freuently tell me that sites like cnn.com and google.com do not exist, and redirect me to their search page.

  8. Re:Approximate cost on NASA Sends Lego Figures to Jupiter · · Score: 1

    They could always make money on these by dropping them in a bottle of urine and selling pictures of that for $20,000 each. It works with plastic Jesus statues.

    3) Somebody has already lost their hats.
    4) The figures always seem to be found in a sexually explicit configuration.

  10. Re:My guess - on NASA Briefing on New Mars Finding This Afternoon · · Score: 1

    Then it must be about Global Warming caused by Man. Those two SUV's they've been running all over the place has destabilized the planet, and runaway greenhouse methane has caused devistating thermal effects. The only chance Mars has, is if George W Bush signes the Kyoto treaty. But republicans hate martians, as proved by the fact that they pay Slim Whitman records.

    maybe that explains all those large hairy bodes carrying bandoliers scattered across the surface

    When parts of the moon crashed into the Earth, it killed all the dinosours. You don't see any dino's do you, which proves it to be true.

    The crash of the moons was caused by George W Bush not signing the Kyoto treaty, which created global warming which is caused by man, which caused the cheese moon to crash into the mooncake moon, which is why out moon is now the cheesecake moon. There's only one moon now, which is proof that global warming is caused by man!

  17. Re:He should know better on Mysterious Object Found In Seabed · · Score: 1

    It;s always best to assume the simplest explination instead of creating some complex story.

    Thus, it's probably an alien UFO filled with replicators transported from a future where mankind is enslaved by evil robots who use them as batteries.

    Can you imagine the kind of virus attacks you will have to protect yourself from?

    Beyond a pile of dildos falling out of your inbox every day, you may have to deal with theif-bots, explosives, smelly messes, noise makers, and herbal viagra advertisements. Then, there will also be the polotical campaigns.

    Depends on if you are transmitting to a Mars probe.

    It depends on what shape this volume is. Imagine if you were on Diskworld, and BSJ designed it to be just 1 inch wide, to go with his fish pond.

  23. Bah! on Archaeologist May Have Found the First Protractor · · Score: 2

    Hidden within the article is that this is an empty case that might have held something. Looking at the outer shape, it could just as easily have been a cannon. If they wanted to be helpful, they shou'd have shown pictures of the opened case. There is also no scale for this object, but it appears fairly large. Why would an empty box be put into a tomb? It could be hollow as a way to make it lighter, instead of making it a box. It could have been a childs see-saw. I'd look for wear patterns on this, ubkess it was made new for the funeral. Is this the only one of these ever seen? If they were being commonly used, they would have shown up in one of the numerous paintings the Egyptions were known for.

  24. Re:Duh. on The End of the Gas Guzzler · · Score: 0

    You can probably look at Government regulations, Union demands, and threats of lawsuits for a large portion of it.

    The government writes regulations based on existing manufacturing techniques, and trying to switch to newer methods while still obeying the laws is nearly impossible.

    The Unions have their own set of rules. If you switch to carbon composit panels, you must still keep the steel panel producing people on their old jobs, even though you no longet need those panels.

    The lawyers get in on it, with thousands of nusience lawsuits. Carbon composits caused by client to become alergic to squid ink.

    Doing business in the US is becomming very very hard. Outsourcing to foreign countries isn't only about labor costs.

  25. Re:Lotus Elise on The End of the Gas Guzzler · · Score: 2

    What aren't they writing into regulations. A polition sees a cartoon of a piano falling from a tall building onto a car, and you get a bunch of new regulations. Do you know how much it costs to rent a piano and a tall building fot those tests alone? The Road Runner show created a lot of regulations about strapping rockets, and other things, onto your feet and slamming into busses. Honda has to build walking robots so they can test miniatures of their cars against giant alien robots. And now they're working on the Transformer movies.
