  1. Re:That's retarded on Protecting the Apollo Landing Sites From Later Landings · · Score: 1

    Sounds like today's XKCD was apropos: http://xkcd.com/593/

  2. Re:I Once Had a Toy... on Hydraulic Analog Computer From 1949 · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Just don't pick super hearing. on Hacking Our Five Senses and Building New Ones · · Score: 1

    I used to be able to hear this sort of thing, telling when a muted TV was on at school and in which classroom, but not since high school.

  4. Re:Science makes us great. on Obama Says 3% of GDP Should Fund Science Research And Development · · Score: 1

    Totally unrelated Focus story. About 10 years ago, I knew 2 guys, who didn't know each other, who both owned black Ford Focuses. In the same week, they both took their cars to separate Wal-Marts for oil changes. One had the oil plug left off, and leaked oil and caught fire on the way home. The other had the oil filter put on too loosely, which then fell off, causing and oil leak and fire on the way home. Weirded me out but good.

  5. Re:Always buy them on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 2, Informative

    I used to work for a company that builds large machines to do exactly that.

  6. Re:Couldn't prosecute. on Rep. Jane Harman Focus In Yet Another Warrantless Wiretap Scandal · · Score: 1

    Only if then approved by a judge. If application and acceptance are the same, why didn't I go to MIT?

  7. Re:Blasting Peter Gabriel? on STEREO Spacecraft To Explore Earth's L4 and L5 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nah, it's for an upcoming Disaster Area reunion.

  8. Re:Russell's teapot on STEREO Spacecraft To Explore Earth's L4 and L5 · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, it would simply provide evidence to back up a simple, intentionally ludicrous, hypothesis. Now, if they find God up there. . . I know, I know, WHOOOOOOSH. . .

  9. Stealth implications on Powerful Sonar Causes Deafness In Dolphins · · Score: 1

    You'd think the Navy would pay attention to this. I can't imagine that leaving a trail of oddly-behaving animals would be good for keeping their boat's whereabouts under wraps. "Your sub was in my harbor!" "No, it wasn't" "The trail of deaf and confused dolphins suggests otherwise!"

  10. Re:It's stories like this on CloudLeft Public License Closes User Data Loophole · · Score: 1

    Of course I say that, and then I installed it and selected OMG Ponies!!! and it's not working. . .

  11. Re:It's stories like this on CloudLeft Public License Closes User Data Loophole · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you need Slashdotter: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2175

  12. Could be worse. . . on Alpine Legend Revolutionizes Music Game Genre · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could be Accordion Master.

  13. What? on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    No 6 digit ID club? ;)

  14. Re:Alien cold war on Huge Supernova Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    Um, wouldn't this sort of thing make it a hot war? Like what would have happened if the USA and USSR had actually lobbed nuked hither and yon?

  15. Re:This is linux's strength, actually on Locking Down Linux Desktops In an Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    I'm more of a puppet fan, myself: http://reductivelabs.com/products/products/puppet

  16. Re:Moon? on ISS To Become Second Brightest-Object In the Sky · · Score: 1, Funny

    I was mocking the /. headline, not the article headline. :)

  17. Moon? on ISS To Become Second Brightest-Object In the Sky · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You mean third. ISS, Moon, *Sun*. :)

  18. Re:vaccine even possible? on Steps Toward a Universal Flu Vaccine · · Score: 1

    See, people keep forgetting, maybe evolution/God is simply using human intellect as a mechanism with which to engineer the vaccine. Ta-da! ;)

  19. Re:Other notable contribution on Microsoft Donates Code To Apache's "Stonehenge" Project · · Score: 1

    But, alas, had already commented.

  20. Re:As always, amatuers like you fail at stocks on Steve Jobs Takes Leave of Absence From Apple · · Score: 1

    Sure. Install Fedora 10, and yum install boinc.

  21. Re:Alan Cox is a Good Influence on Alan Cox Leaves Red Hat · · Score: 4, Informative

    +1. He's also really helpful and insightful on the Fedora lists, too, and not just on kernel stuff. Alan, if you're reading this, please keep hanging around there. :)

  22. Re:Their problems are easily solved on InfoWorld's Crystal Ball Predicts the Future of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    http://freeipa.org/
    And for what it's worth, we're using Linux on a large number of workstations without it. Google OpenLDAP, apt, yum, sudo, kickstart. I spend so much less time messing with security and policy than my Windows counterparts that it's embarrassing.

  23. Re:Bacula is an outstanding cross platform solutio on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    Losing the GUI? What about BAT?

  24. Re:They are using RPM 4.6.0 release candidate on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes to all 3. It's really not that complicated.

  25. Re:e-dicovery? on Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple · · Score: 1

    So you have Tuesdays off? :)
