  1. Re:14Pb for 170k employees... on World's Five Biggest SANs · · Score: 1

    I'd call it a good start.

  2. Re:Procurement on Australia Cracked US Combat Aircraft Codes · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's OK --- DVD John will get that sorted out in a few days.

  3. Re: Burning your gamma ray candle in both ends on Antimatter Molecule Should Boost Laser Power · · Score: 1

    If it's truly a part of a laser, they'll have "mirrors" (of one sort or another) to ensure phase coherence anyway.

  4. Re:Graphical smilies suck on The Smiley Face Turns 25 :-) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, doesn't that make you want to ******inate someone?

  5. Re:This is exactly why I hate GUIs on The GIMP UI Redesign · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested in a non-GUI Image Manupilation Program. You might also be interested in a non-GUI spellcheck.
  6. Incredible on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 1

    "Dr. Bae's PLT demonstration and measurement of photon thrust (is) pretty incredible. I don't think anyone has done this before. It has generated a lot of interest." Mead must have meant "incredible" in its proper, older use.
  7. Re:The Kilogram is not losing weight on Kilogram Reference Losing Weight · · Score: 1

    My god! How can you have left out mention of isotopes and virtual particles? Maybe some mention of absolute zero? (since E~mc^2, if you add energy in the form of heat, the mass actually goes up). Geez.

  8. Re:Who would want to install Debian anyway...? on Debian win32-loader Goes Official · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu changed it not at all. Apt-get was always easier than rpm-based systems.

  9. Re:Huh? on Debian win32-loader Goes Official · · Score: 1

    More subtly, it addresses that weird fear that windows really isn't going away when you install Debian. I love that wording.
  10. Re:Huh? on Debian win32-loader Goes Official · · Score: 1

    Functionally the Debian ISO it would be analagous to a 'windows upgrade' CD. Blasphemer!
  11. Re:I would like to see some experiments on Can String Theory Accommodate Inflation? · · Score: 1
    When a site (as your second link does) contains something like this

    It is interesting that biological systems also use heavy elements like iron and magnesium to perform their minor miracles of transmutation of elements. or like this

    Indeed, gravity can be represented as the sum of the radially aligned electric dipoles formed by all subatomic particles within a charged planet or star. I become extremely skeptical that the site's author has a clue.
  12. Re:It's funny on Richard Stallman Proclaims Don't Follow Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    I think it's worth taking a moment every now and again to consider what kind of FOSS world we'd have right now if it weren't for RMS and his mates. Yes he's an idealist, but you know -- principles are important in life, regardless of how preachy the may seem from time to time. Hitler was quite an idealist, too!

                    BAM! Godwin's law! BAM! Quirk's exception!

    Maby if you are on crack and don't really use your word processor. Someone needs built-in spellchecking.
  15. Re:You won't die. on Microsoft's Consent-or-Die Patent · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which makes me wonder how you managed to get it hooked up to a microsoft website in the first place. Last I heard their pacemaker API required that you buy their brand of pacemaker which is only available in very few select locations and costs thousands more than any others. Yes, but you can get a corporate discount, and some of their ports are closed by default.

  17. Re:Off means off on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, hospital equipment already racks up astounding charges. Maybe hospitals should start buying iDefibs and iProctoscopes. Sounds like iPhone owners will probably need both of those soon.

    Like the dope's original phallaciously self-righteous post. Oh, now we know what your problem is. Definitely Freudian.

  24. Re:Opera faster _with JavaScript_ on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    Christ. This is Slashdot. You have to argue vehemently for something of marginal value, even if you know nothing about it and really don't know what you're talking about. Stop being the voice of reason. Grow some balls, man!

  25. "Add the computers together"? on Storm Worm More Powerful Than Top Supercomputers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So this botnet rivals supercomputers for power as long as it's working on some purely parallelizeable problem. Like, for instance, sending spam messages.
