  1. Recycling? on In Stores Soon: Perishable DVDs · · Score: 2

    Can plastic discs like these be recycled? It seems wasteful to line landfills with these things.

  2. Re:indistinguishable from magic on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 2

    The downside is how people respond to magic with awe and fear.

    Considering that anything radiation-related has negative connotations (i.e. - nuclear mishaps ala Three Mile Island, atomic weapons in general, etc.) is it any wonder?

  3. Re:OMG her FACE?!? on The Economics of Spam · · Score: 2

    It's a sketch. You don't read the WSJ print version much, do you?

    Of course, but they're not supposed to be CARICATURES for crying out loud!

  4. While you're up... on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll probably be there opening night

    If you're going to the snack bar, can you get me a box of Snowcaps and a Mountain Dew? Thanks. I'll pay you later.

  5. Perhaps... on Newton's "Principia" stolen · · Score: 2

    Perhaps the thieves wanted to see if Newton was for real about the whole "gravity" thing.

  6. Re:What kind of traffic are they trying to draw? on The Boeing 727-200 Airplane Home · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, like you HAVEN'T entered "rotating titty house" into a search engine before....

    /sarcastic :)

  7. Re:Contradictions on New Audio Disc Formats and Copyrights · · Score: 2

    I'd like to see the look on David Migdal's face when the encryption is broken before the first disk is released...

    I think he will be smiling when he has the guilty party arrested for violating the DMCA.

  8. Re:never work on Secure PDAs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, you've got nine other fingers as well as ten toes. If you get hacked that many times, there's not much else that anyone can do.

  9. Re:Gambling and the mob on Net Vegas · · Score: 2

    Bear in mind that it was the "Tony and Vitti" crowd that built Las Vegas (Gangster Bugsy Siegel and his Flamingo, to be exact). Vegas sort of clings to the bad boy image, with bullnecked pit bosses and quasi-shady wiseguy-types roaming the floor.

    An excellent book about the wavering mob influence and increasing corporate mentatlity is "Temples of chance" by David Johnston.

  10. Re:Update without Windows client? on Vulnerability In Linksys Cable/DSL Router · · Score: 2

    WINE can also be used to execute the small firmware flashing program written for Windows. Wine debug may give an error message of some kind, but if you go to the router admin page, the new firmware is there.

  11. Re:From now on, we'll all travel in TUBES! on Pipeline Mass Transit? · · Score: 2

    I'm stuck riding a 30 year-old, beaurocracy-lader system called BART to work everyday

    C'mon, I thought it was agreed that there were to be no more Simpsons references.

  12. Re:Erotic Art on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nope. This handwritten note from Michaelangelo is as close as it gets:

    Note to self: put big schlong on new statue.

  13. Just like George Lucas... on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    For instance, only one page from the rare "B" version of the "Codex Vaticanus" Bible is available online.

    Coming soon: The Holy Bible - Special Edition

  14. Re:exportation issues? on Crypto and IPSec Merged into 2.5 · · Score: 2

    Many crypto products have a weaker bitcount version for export sale (i.e. - Win 2k crypto export module is 64 bit while the US high encryption pack delivers 128 bit crypto).

    In the Stephen Hawking example, its like letting him leave, but removing the batteries from his speech board. :)

  15. Re:matter of time on Dr. Robot Watches Over Home And More · · Score: 3, Funny

    it could report you to the RIAA for downloading songs, or start the next "klez variant" outbreak, even record your "extra carricular activities" to play back for your girlfriend.

    That technology has been around for ages. I just call it my little brother. Little bastard. :)

  16. Re:Password? in english? on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny

    combine this water pc into my water bed!! Now I can be use my pc in bed without one of those crappy wireless keyboards!

    Nah, just build it into the toilet. Makes rebooting all that much more fun. Turn any public restroom into a beowulf cluster!

  20. Re:.exe? on Folding@Home Reports Success · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes it does. Be sure to set chmod +x $FILENAME.exe also.

  21. Re:Google Cache on The Free State Project · · Score: 2, Funny

    They'll never take our freedom....
    But they'll sure as hell take our bandwidth.

    :)

  22. Uh oh on WiFi Triangulation · · Score: 5, Funny

    I found a new open network near my girlfriends apartment,opened up my browser to /. and saw this as the lead story.
