  1. COOTIES RAT SEMEN on Network Computing Editor Wins RSA Hacking Contest · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Indeed.

  2. Re:Dubious Scientists on Scientists Dubious of Quantum Computing Claims · · Score: 1

    At least it's not a nonstandard English flutzpah.

          In fact, it's a perfectly cromulent word.

  3. Re:Dubious Scientists on Scientists Dubious of Quantum Computing Claims · · Score: 1

    Seems as though it's one of those wonderful English portmanteaus. The OED has no problems with it being used to refer to the claims themselves and the scientists' views of those claims. At least it's not a nonstandard English flutzpah.

  4. Heh. on Water Logic Gates Built at MIT · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bet this guy's nickname is Princess Nell. Lucky fellow.

  5. Re:Hurm . . . on Water Logic Gates Built at MIT · · Score: 4, Funny

    Richard Gere already has claim to that patent.

  6. Re:Curious on Quantum Computer Demoed, Plays Sudoku · · Score: 1

    I'm actually curious - for how long do the 16 qubits stay coherent?

          Admitting on slasdot that you're qi-curious. Brave, brave man.

  7. Re:This might be... on US Lags World In Broadband Access · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's quite easy to put cables through a heavily concentrated Asian population. It's quite another thing to lay thousands of miles of cable across the United Staes.

          Ron Jeremy can do it.

  8. Re:Umm..... on Power Generating Spacesuits · · Score: 1

    [...]figure out a way to get proteins from our ears to do the same job a lot less efficiently ? Sounds like a waste of research funds to me!

          It does? If it sound like that, you haven't upgraded your ear-protein to the PiezoTimpanum2008 yet. Get with it, man!

  9. Re:Brilliant Idea on Power Generating Spacesuits · · Score: 1

    Sounds to me like we need to cast Natalie Portman, right away.

  10. Re:Great, but ask the astronauts first... on Power Generating Spacesuits · · Score: 4, Funny

    Pfft. Lack of vision. Just put some motors at the suits' joints. Problem solved, right?

        Plus, that'd be kick-ass great for loading ships and fighting the occasional alien queen.

  11. Re:Largely pointless on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 1

    For getting lots of words down in the computer, when you're not worried about formatting (as, for example, in the vast majority of my work), Wordpad is just as good as any other lightweight word-processor.
          But, god... Paint. *shudders* My officemate often says something like, "Oh, just send that .eps with the embedded LaTeX code over here... I'll change it in Paint," and something inside me dies a slow painful death.

  12. Re:Ohhh nooooo on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 1


    FTFA
    Appendix C. is a short itemization of whats missing in Vista from previous Windows operating systems. It makes it easy to figure out why something youve used before cant be located and used.


            Apostrophes seem to have been left out of this OS.

  13. Re:In Japan... on Write Your Valentine On a Spacecraft · · Score: 3, Funny

    True. But those women are also all pixelated where it counts. That just doesn't do it for me.

  14. Re:Obligatory Joke on Write Your Valentine On a Spacecraft · · Score: 4, Funny

    OMG --- PONIES!!!!

  15. Re:Ah, romance on Write Your Valentine On a Spacecraft · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's why I only go out with girls with names like NASA and Martin-Marietta.

    ...or it might just be herpes.

  17. Re:Re-Enactment on MacResearch Introduces OpenMacGrid · · Score: 1

    Thought: Maybe, instead of everybody making their own little grid system... we could all make things go ALOT faster by devoting our processors to more than simulating chess games (Yes, I'm talking to you, Chess960) and focus it where it really counts, like finding a cure to debilitating diseases or searching for intelligent life. (Not a whole lot of it on Earth.)

  18. Re:Does anybody know where to find the actual pape on Recognizing Scenes Like the Brain Does · · Score: 4, Funny

    There was. You didn't recognize it.

  19. Re:Oh Great. on Doomsday Seed Vault Design Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Naaah. Google will bow to pressure and just blur out the location on google maps.

  20. Re:GITS interface on Brain Scanner Can Read People's Intentions · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when well have GITS-like cyberbrain interfaces. ^__^

            Mmmm... Natalie Potman and Hot GITS.

  23. Re:"Windows" versus "A Mac"? on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 5, Funny

    You Linux users out there should be angry

          Oh, we are. We're fucking enraged . We just don't know why.

  24. Hey, baby. . .. on DNA-rainbow, A New Vision of Human Chromosomes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Taste the rainbow!

  25. Re:How to REALLY test a notebook on Panasonic ToughBook Testing Facility Tour · · Score: 1

    There are 'childproof' computers out there that can be washed to remove sticky things, but those would be largely useless in other environments.
