  1. A round up of crowd control tactics on Homeland Security Funds LED Light That Blinds, Disorients · · Score: 1

    Pepper Spray - Counter with 1:1 ratio of water to Maalox sprayed into the eyes

    Teargas - Counter with rags soaked in vinegar over the mouth

    Lightgun - Sunglasses?

    We can only hope that crowd control technologies continue to be this easy to circumvent

  2. We use it instead of a textbook on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My teacher decided against a textbook and saved us all a lot of money by providing links to wikipedia articles on each topic we cover. Obviously not ever professor out there is up in arms, but I do realize that the subject of the class matters a lot (I'm taking a computer science course).

  3. Missing one thing on Fake News Stories Probed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Video news releases are packaged stories paid for by businesses or interest groups." Your forgot "The United States Government"

  4. oh em gee on Laser Surgery Goes Online · · Score: 1

    Doctor 1: I'd make the incision there
    Doctor 2: Right, I concur *click click*
    Doctor 1: wtf, ping is like 1000
    Doctor 2: omg lag.
    Doctor 1: You cut his heart in half
    Doctor 2: :(
    Doctor 1: fucking tk'er

  5. Speed vs. grammar, maximizing our vocal bandwidth on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    I think it comes down to speed, it doesn't matter how I spell definitely, the message still comes across and I don't need to spend 1.001 seconds trying to determine the correct spelling. One might say I'm "maximizing" my "bandwidth" while "reducing" my "overhead."

  6. Or..? on Innovators Are Older Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Or the people deciding what's innovative are older than ever...

  7. Cool . . . on First 96-Node Desktop Cluster Ships · · Score: 1

    Can it play tetris?

  8. Yar on Morse Code Used by Human Cells? · · Score: 1

    You say morse code, I hear binary.

  9. Consider this... on Panther Analysis Getting Underway · · Score: 1

    While I personally like the brushed-metal style, I remember a lot of apps that would remove it from the Safari Beta; replacing it with the aqua look. I'm no expert, but is it possible such utilities will be made for the finder after Panther's release? Maybe someone with more knowledge of the UI could elaborate.

  10. Fractals? on A Better Way to Enter Text On a Palmtop · · Score: 1

    Isn't the style of input like a fractal in a way? "Zooming" in on a single letter shows the entire alphabet in the space of that letter and so on (sometimes the letters are really small due to the softwares prediction). For the records, I coin the phrase "Fractal based input" ;-).

  11. Connect the xbox to ANY box, witha linux boot DISK on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    THe whole thing loads into ram, as mentioned earlier u dont even need a hard drive.

  12. Poor Soul... on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey buddy, why don't you get a life k? I mean REALLY, how much time did u spend thinking about and posting that message, why do you even waste a minimal amount of energy. Now you will no doubt flame me, but...surprise surprise you'll forget to mention the idea behind my post...I feel sorry for you.

  13. Thanks! on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    Your post was so clear and well written, the message just JUMPED out of a page, I thought I'd say thanks..... *sarcasm* if you're too stupid to figure that out yourself...

  14. You don't need linux, it boots off a disk.. on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    It just loads into ram..

  15. Re:who gives a shit on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    Obviously you're not into doing something just for the fun of it. Sure I'm probably only going to play Halo online once or twice online, but it's FUN to set it up and get it to work. Halo works very well as a large multiplayer game because it was developed for a LAN of xbox's, supporting a max of 16 players. The difference between doing this with a lot of tv's and the same over the internet isn't different in terms of gameplay. Sounds to me like you have a problem with the Xbox and it's LAN capabilities, not connecting over the net....

  16. Re:Xbox OS? on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    The Xbox runs a modded version of windoze XP, the games won't run on ur comp right off the bat. The xbox has a modified geforce3 and a unique memory setup (someone correct me if im wrong) so it'll need some SERIOUS hardware and one hell of an emulator. Personally I'm hoping for a VGA adapter so I can play halo on my 21 inch monitor :^>.

  17. Re:MMOFPS? on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    The PC/MAC version is still in development so it's possible, but really not likely. Hopefully halo2 or maybe a mod. Keep your fingers crossed!
