  1. Re:Will Smith. on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    Nah, Hollywood would auto stereotype him as a jive talking, white man joke cracking pimp.

  2. Who fixes the repair mechanisms when they fail? on Helping Computers Help Themselves · · Score: 1
    This story becomes a recursive problem.

    Who fixes the repairing mechanisms? The computer? With what? More repairing mechanisms! But who fixes those? More repairing mechanisms! But who fixes those?.....end of universe.

  3. If they rip off artwork... on MIT Steals Comic Book Character · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...what else do they rip off?

    Do they buy ex-soviet 1970 tanks, paint a US flag on them, and say they are the tanks of the future?

    We need to be told!

  4. Wait, so instead of being killed by copper shards on Electric Armor · · Score: 1
    ..you are killed by super hot vaporised copper?

    Wouldnt the copper being extremely hot when its vaporised?

  5. A new music genre is whats needed on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 1

    To get the RIAA out of its 'panic' mode its in now. The only way it can go now is to blame everyone except themselves. They are not going to devalue CDs. The profit hit would kill them and probalby one or two would go bankrupt.

  6. Re:Even the Once-Cool Now Sucks on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 1
    Damn right!

    There are so few good videos on MTV now. Its either numetal 12 year olds standing in car parks or (c)rappers trying to pretend they're studs.

    All the watchable videos only appear at night when the targeted 9 year old audience demographic are in bed.

  7. Re:I think it's finally just time to stop... on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 1

    Some modern music is just as brilliant as those are. It takes some digging past the crap to get to them but believe me they are out there.

  8. I was once asked on How Should You Interview a Programmer? · · Score: 1
    'Whats the difference between RAM and ROM?' for a networking job.

    As for my question I would ask: 'What Simpsons character are you most like?'. If he says anyone other than Comic Store Guy, he doesnt get the job.

  9. Typical Enterprise Episode on Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Goto new planet or space phenomenon.
    2. Imply Vulcans are either stupid and/or evil.
    3. Marvel at planet or phenomenon.
    4. Go down to planet/phenomenon.
    5. Get into trouble.
    6. Shoot at bad aiming aliens and escape planet.
    7. Wrap up episode implying how Vulcans are agian evil/stupid.

  10. Re:More of the same? on NASA Plan to Read Brainwaves at Airports · · Score: 1
    Its not the same IMO.

    Metal detectors and x ray detectors are not subjective, unlike the brain scanner 'detector'. A metal detector either finds something metal or it doesnt. It does not go and finds something that maybe metal.

    The x-ray machine can find what looks like a gun but then turns outto be a novelty lighter. These are at least identifiable errors. With the brain scanner you cant prove one way or another a person was going to hijack a plane or not (unless he has a weapon on him of course).

  11. Re:When will the RIAA own the network? on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1
    If that day could even possibly come, two things would happen.

    1. They wipe your computer saying its possible to infringe copyrights on it. 2. Your computer blows up with the billions of pop up ads that they force down to you.

  12. Re:A similar scam happened to my wife on Shrinkwrapped Books · · Score: 1
    Ask them to send you a photocopy of the agreement that you or your wife signed to be sent the phone in the first place.

    Then ask for a list of phone calls you made on the phone.

  13. Re:Well, currents stars still have power... on Will CGI Collapse the Hollywood Economy? · · Score: 1

    I spel like carp twoday.

  14. Re:Well, currents stars still have power... on Will CGI Collapse the Hollywood Economy? · · Score: 1
    If graphic version of Jennifer ever becomes indistinguishable from the real one, then yeah then will kick her off.

    $700k per episode for the real one, $70k for the team of animators for the fake one.

  15. Thats wrong on Myths about Internet growth · · Score: 5, Funny

    It should be 'annoying X10 pop unders double every 100 days'

  16. Re:Don't blink on Elements 116 and 118 are Bogus? · · Score: 1
    Who knows what can be made from this research. And you dont know if an atom will be stable or not until you create it.

    You can say the same thing about researching light and its behaviour. Who would have guessed we got the invention of lasers from it and look how this simple byproduct has affected society today.

  17. Re:Don't blink on Elements 116 and 118 are Bogus? · · Score: 1

    All atoms have life spans. Some are absurdly long like the hydrogen atom. Some are short.

  18. Win2k ATI/Half Life bug on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 1
    Dunno whats causing it but i know its in the ATI Rage Fury drivers for win2k.

    On startup of Half Life the monitor puts itself on standby for no reason at all. A total reboot is needed.

    Pity me I cant play CS. But then again its shit now.

  19. How come there isnt a pool playing computer? on Augmented Reality Billiards · · Score: 1
    Ive always wondered how come there hasnt been a pool playing AI just like a chess one.

    As I know nothing about AI or robotics would it be hard to create one to predict the best shot to make?

  20. Re:$500 to a movie theater.. on Will Digital Cinema Wipe-Out Today's Movie Theaters? · · Score: 1
    The popcorn and stuf need to be paid for too, and the wages of the staff.

    But I cant find fault with only having to get 30 or so people in a night.

  21. Re:RSA Challenge anyone? on Moronic Hacking Contest Ends In Free-For-All · · Score: 1

    LOL Shame on anyone who doesnt get this joke.

  22. New Scientist also covered that story last week. on More on the Fine Structure Constant · · Score: 1
    The BBC site doesnt work for me. It couldnt be /.ed already?

    From what I remember the change in the alpha value, if there is one, would only be by about a billionth of what it is today.

  23. I think its a scam on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1
    Can anyone remember project Ginger? The new tech that was 'going to revolutionize cities'? And it turned out to be a stupid Segway that no one would be seen dead on.

    Wolframm seems more interested in selling the book than actually submitting any scientific papers to the mathematical world.

  24. Re:4 lines on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1

    So you have photons in your universe. Where does the rest come from?

  25. Frankly do we care? on The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead? · · Score: 1, Informative
    This is not a troll.

    But does anyone really care enough about X-Files past season 4-5? I dont.

    It should have died then. And I expect Carter & Co to bring out a cheesy finale where Mulder discovers he is an alien himself and charged with enslaving mankind.
