  1. Re:I for one on Researchers Make Mount Etna Sing · · Score: 1

    Oops, I misread the title as ... Researchers make Mandisa sing.

  2. Re:Hoboy. on Has Anyone Seen the Moon Pictures? · · Score: 1

    In other news, the government seems to have found the taped assassination of JFK.

  3. Re: Major Security Hole Found In Rails on Major Security Hole Found In Rails · · Score: 1

    I see it all the time in real life. Drunk Driver survives but kills family. No brain, no pain I guess.

  4. DHS Bans Liquids on Flights on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    This is legit though, that the DHS has banned liquids on flights, at least temporarily (carry-ons only). Of course, what about the in-flight drinks? What if one of the stewardists is a terrorist!!!???!!! Oh the paranoia :-(

  5. Reasonable Price on Microsoft Shows Off 360 HD-DVD Drive · · Score: 1

    "All the audio and video processing is done inside the Xbox"

    I would expect the price on this would have to be farely reasonable, if not downright cheap, compared to the other HD DVD players.

  6. $249 and he can't even score 100? on Robosapien V2 Review - with Video · · Score: 3, Funny

    The first time, you make excuses. Well, I can't bowl, either, especially with other people watching, you think, but by the seventh attempt it's pretty clear--this Robosapien could bowl all night and still score no higher than zero.

    Seriously, if I have to pay $249 for a bowling robot, I would want it to at least score 100+

  7. DRM Again on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 5, Funny

    "A big issue for us has been the (Digital Rights Management) and how we can secure that content to the Memory Stick," Koller said. "The studios and the labels don't want their content floating around."

    After you pay for it once, you should be able to float it around wherever you want to let it float. Grrrrr

  8. Sounds familiar on Shadowrun vs. Shadowrun · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Microsoft rewrote the timeline and setting for this game, so it is not in continuity with the tabletop RPG. It may be more accurately described as a game loosely based on Shadowrun.

    Hmmm, take a product that somebody else produced. Modify it slightly, slap your name tag on it, and sell. Sounds familiar.

  9. What age group? on Borland Announces the Return of the Turbo Products, with Video · · Score: 3, Insightful

    it's aimed at students, hobbyist developers, occupational developers and individual programming professionals. More information is available at the the Turbo Explorer website, including a video of the Adventures of TurboMan.

    The adventures of TurboMan? Just to confirm, we are talking about college students, not elementary school, right?

  10. My Work Productivity on Dell Reflects on 25 Years of PCs · · Score: 1

    And I have got two of our 30-inch monitors, so it's 8.2 million pixels of resolution, which is kind of nice.

    I need to convince the place I work at that if they get me setup with a 30 inch monitor, my productivity would skyrocket thru the roof!

  11. $4.5Bn ??? on Sprint Rolls out WiMAX Access · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why in the summary is there a Bn after the dollar amount? Wouldn't $4.5B be sufficient? Is there another abbreviation for a large number that starts with a B and doesn't end in an n?

  12. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! on Mozilla Calls on User Community Today for Testing · · Score: 1

    1. Use Mozilla
    2. Write Test Cases
    3. ???
    4. Profit!!!

    I finally know what the ??? is!!!

  13. Re-Elected for a 3rd Term on Why Are There No Highbrow Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Suppose the only music in all the world were rap or heavy metal. Do you think music would have anything like the level of respect that it does now? Would there be Kennedy Center Honors, with the President in the audience, for 50 Cent or Nuclear Assault? I doubt it.

    If I see President GW at a 50 cent concert I'll vote him for a 3rd term.

  14. Re:Timing? on London Gamers Shoot It Out In The Streets · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is the solution to ending the fighting in Israel, Lebanon, and Iraq. Give them all super soakers and envelopes with assassination instructions!

  15. Re:What?? on Hoboken, NJ vs. Giant Parking Robot · · Score: 1

    This is a serious contender in the most non-understandable posts on slashdot ever

    No, I think the PARENT won that award.

  16. 1 Corinthians 13:11 on Gen Con Bingo · · Score: -1, Troll

    FTFA -

    1 Corinthians 13:11
    When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.


    I think we need an age limit on this stuff. Anybody 30 or over, who's still playing Magic or whatever card game, has issues. Start reading the Bible instead.

  17. The tube? on London Gamers Shoot It Out In The Streets · · Score: 2, Informative

    For those non-englanders, here is what the tube is. I had to look it up myself.

    the tube ... could face punishment for acting suspiciously or inciting panic in Underground stations, which last year were the targeted by suicide bombers.

  18. Re:I would on John Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Video · · Score: 1

    and pay an admission fee to go to a convention

    AC, You win. If I had to pay for it, then I would be ok with it going 1hr 20min +

  19. Re:This just in on AOL Releases Search Logs of 657,427 Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like that how the first sentence of the article says these research logs were posted 10 days ago, yet still somehow it JUST reached the /. front page today :-)

  20. Just like the Bush Phone Tapping on AOL Releases Search Logs of 657,427 Users · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Again, no privacy rights are being violated here. For the Bush Phone Tapping, they just kept records of the incoming and outgoing phone numbers, looking for patterns. The contacts of the call weren't saved in the databases, so I don't really see the privacy issue. As for the AOL searches, the user id's as it mentioned are not saved, just random integers, so I don't see the privacy issue here either. Stop worrying about big brother looking over your shoulder.

  21. I just watched it ... on John Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Video · · Score: 1

    The video includes 1 hour and 20 minutes of Carmack's address.

    So, I just got done watching this video, and I had to post this comment on /.
    No, but seriously, since it contains 1hr 20 minute OF his address, does that mean it went even longer? I would never spend that much time listening to what he has to say.

  22. Translate to English on Bahrain's ISPs Must Block Google Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good thing they translated it to english, or else I was screwed!

  23. Re:The Percentages on Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7? · · Score: 4, Funny

    91.42% of all /. postings are not worth replying to

  24. Re:The Percentages on Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thank you for your link. I found another link from your link which answers my question from above.

  25. The Percentages on Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7? · · Score: 5, Informative

    CSS 2.1 standard support:
    IE 6: 52%
    IE 7: 54%
    Firefox 1.5: 93%
    Opera 8.5: 93%
    Opera 9: 96%


    Ok, so I agree that the numbers seem to be good estimates, about right. But how on earth do they actually come up with these percentages? Is is a simple cumulative count of all css tags and attributes that work vs. don't work? Or do some have more weight than others? Seriously, they seem like fabricated numbers ... just like the /. article earlier today about how wide the universe is.
