  1. Not to mention... on What Scorpions Have To Teach Aircraft Designers · · Score: 0

    ...that they would just look fuckin' bad-ass!

  2. Re:who? on BTJunkie No More? · · Score: 1

    torrentz.eu works for me.

  3. Re:Like Watching at The Zoo... on Anonymous Posts Audio of Intercepted FBI Conference Call · · Score: 1

    Watch that Teddy tear him a new one...

  4. Re:Have you considered webcam work? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    This.

  5. Re:Have you considered webcam work? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    Are you saying it isn't? Most men who seek out hookers are emotional children anyway; many of the associated skill sets are transferable...

    Also, you will learn a lot about making graphics/web pages. Good operators run several different websites, each with a different "persona" or character, and often members of the community contract other members of the community who have proven skills to design pages/graphics for them. Just because it involves sex, that doesn't preclude the use of technology.

  7. Re:Have you considered webcam work? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    Thank you. My wife made mad scrilla doing webcam work, and transitioned from there into writing about sex & technology. She now edits a popular website on the topic and makes better money than I do ghost writing for "sex experts." Cam work is a great way to get started in the field of making money online.

  8. Have you considered webcam work? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you are even marginally good looking, you can make more $ doing that then any type of brain work. I write for a living online, but would gladly give that up and just do cam shows, were I female & decent to look at...

  9. Wait, what? on Megaupload Drops Lawsuit Against Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Who wipes their ass with pieces of shit? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

  10. FUCK, SPOTTED THE FED! on Site Aims To Be the "Google" of the Underweb · · Score: 1

    So sue me, I never actually made it to DEFCON, and having been to Vegas, I hardly want to go back...

  11. I saw the fed! on Site Aims To Be the "Google" of the Underweb · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Honeypot much? Nice try, guys. Way to debut it at the end of the humpday protest cycle.

  12. Re:Rule #1: on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 1

    What they should do is announce that they will re-enable the OOS feature in the next PS3 firmware update after the PS4 launch, and promote the idea that they will likewise "open up" the PS4 when the PS5 comes out. Like with Coke Classic "We're not that smart, and we're not that stupid." Look at what opening up did for the popularity of the Dreamcast!

  13. One of the deleted scenes. on Tron Special Edition On Sale January 15th · · Score: 2, Informative

    One scene you may expect to see on the new DVD is shown here: http://www.tronfan.com/deleted/ds1.html Also, this answers the "no sex" complaint posted earlier...

  14. Re:Not so great on One Ring Rules the MIT Dome · · Score: 1

    So the "surounding a trolly car and welding it to the tracks" hack was, in your estimation, less-cool than this one, because it caused damage to property? Please.

  15. Re:Not so great on One Ring Rules the MIT Dome · · Score: 1

    As far as I'm concerned, the more $ damage and the greater risk of getting caught, the better the hack. But then, I'm oldschool.

  16. Re:Not so great on One Ring Rules the MIT Dome · · Score: 1

    Of course, what I ment was that it would have been more impressive if they'd painted it directly on the dome wall, as that would have required a longer period of exposure and a greater chance of getting caught doing it. As for the metal ring, if it were made of a light metal, or hollow, or filled with some kind of honeycome composite, the weight on the dome would be minimal and, thanks to the circular distribution of the weight, unlikely to lead to structural failure

  17. Re:Had to live up the legacy on Review:Fellowship of the Ring · · Score: 1

    Your daughter is nine years old and in highschool?

  18. Not so great on One Ring Rules the MIT Dome · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As far as MIT hacks go, I'd rate this a 3 or 4 out of ten. Usually, the pranks exhibit a certain flair of engineering knowhow, not simply a bungh of guys breaking onto the roof of a building a putting up a (pre-made, obviously) banner. I'd have been much more impressed if they'd forged a giant metal ring and somehow hoisted it up onto the dome. It wouldn't even have had to have the circumfrence of the dome's base - just have been large enough to sit on the dome comfortably and require some real genius work to get it up there. I guess we can expect little in the way or creative genius from this year's graduating class...

  19. shuttleworth? on 2nd Space Tourist To Visit ISS In April 2002 · · Score: 1

    If he's wortha a whole shuttle, why is he settling for a trip on a Soyez?

  20. Well, on Virtual Keyboard · · Score: 1
    Does anyone have any further specs on this? It looks like the kind of thing I'd go for, to compliment my HUD, but would it interface with a desktop PC? How about drivers? Will it connect with my NINO? How open will the coding be = will people be encouraged to create 3rd-party aps (like piano or air guitar aps?)

    Of course, this isn't anywhere as cool as the in-desk LED-based keyboard used to control MCP in Tron, but it's cool none the less.

  21. Forget about using it as a ram disk. on Why Not Solid State Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Think of it as a ram-expansion slot. Imagine halflife without the "Hard disk access" pauses every 80 steps or so that cut noticably into the atmosphere but not really affecting the all-important god of "trigger finger" FPS. Imagine storing your windows swap file and your IE temp files on it, with the hard drive removed, and knowing that all that crap gets washed away when you power down your computer.

  22. Re:World Trade Center sighting? on Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions? · · Score: 1

    yeah, my bad. Don't drink and watch television.

  23. World Trade Center sighting? on Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions? · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or did the establishing shot of futuristic downtown new york have one of the WTC towers still standing, but the other one missing?

  24. Um... this makes little sense on Blaming Encryption · · Score: 1
    Blaming Zimmerman for public crypto used in this attack is like blaming the wright brothers for inventing the airplanes used.

    Remember: Crypto doesn't kill people, people kill people.

  25. What about... on ClearChannel Plays It Safe · · Score: 1

    What about:
    "A-hab the A-rab"
    "Messiahs die Young" = Men Without Hats
    "The Final Cut" and other songs from that album, - Pink Floyd.
    "I'm a stranger here" - 5 man electrical band
    "WAR - what is it good for"
