    #define PearOS PearPC

  2. Mirror on Robots Do The Darndest Things · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a mirror of the video. Not sure how fast it'll be.

  3. Bwahaha! on 10Gbit to the Home by 2010 · · Score: 1

    I already have a 10Gbit link to my home.

  4. First Suspension on Electromagnetic Suspension System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's a pretty cool video about the brand new suspension systems of 1938:

  5. Re:New Technology Lifecycle on WAP is Dead, Long Live WAP · · Score: 2, Funny
    Likewise, myst users don't care about WAP.
    Yeah, but it would have sure been helpful if Atrus left you a webpage with the fireplace combination and directions for getting the green page.
  6. Bones on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now they just have to put McCoy on with him... "I'm dead, Jim."

  7. Easy on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 1

    Just find someone's credit card, and buy ten 4.8GHz wireless routers, and your interference problems will be solved.

  8. Re:Some online typing tests on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    I managed to get 6984 words/minute on typingtest.com... It should show up on the top-100 list pretty soon, unless they've added some sort of limits to the system.

  9. Re:What about outside the US? on They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store · · Score: 5, Funny
    Will they be available to customers in Istanbul (not Constantanople)?
    That's nobody's business but the Turks.
  10. Re: Western Digital too on Seagate Accuses Cornice of Patent Infringement · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Sounds like Cornice really is thieving.
    *ahem* It's not thieving, it's patent infringement.
  11. Re:In other breaking news... on Forward This Article And Get Paid $203.15 · · Score: 1

    Look, it's Level 3 Communications!

  12. Re:That does it on Is VOIP Over WLAN DOA? · · Score: 2, Funny

    STFU! (JK)

  13. Re:Score;5, Profound on World's Fastest Flash Memory Card? · · Score: 1

    Your argument will be invalidated by the passage of time, and increasing data size. "A 128MB flash drive? But that's like 100 floppies! What if it fails?"

  14. Shape on Windows Media Player 10 Beta Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's good to see that they've moved it back into a more-or-less rectangular window, instead of that horrible amorphous blob from the last 3 versions. On the downside, now they'll probably patent the use of right angles in a user interface.

  15. Re:3D? on DVD Player Displays 2D Movies in 3D · · Score: 1

    Note to self: Copy comes before Paste...

  17. Re:Aqua-planing ? on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    Weight is measured in Newtons; mass is measured in grams. We can treat grams as weight on earth, because 1 kg is equivalent to 9.8 Newtons. But that's not true, for example, on the moon, where 1 kg weighs 1.7 Newtons.

  18. Re:What would get me excited is... on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    According to the article, he has a herd of 270 cows to power one 75kw generator. That's only about 10hp, to put it in perspective.
    A normal household generator is about 7500W, or 7.5kW. On average, you'd only need about 27 cows to power your house.

  19. Re:Whole new world.. on In-Flight Wi-Fi Makes its Debut · · Score: 3, Funny

    A NOC on the ground is completely unnecessary. They just have to copy the Internet onto the satellites before launching them.

  20. Re:Pricey on In-Flight Wi-Fi Makes its Debut · · Score: 1

    I guess that means that a lamp cord is now a terrorist weapon.

  21. Re:Whole new world.. on In-Flight Wi-Fi Makes its Debut · · Score: 1

    LAN parties are much easier on a train. It's common for every seat to have an electrical outlet, and there's a lot more space. I was in a 3-player Starcraft game on a train heading for Chicago a few years ago.

  22. Re:Battle Royale on 2ch: Japanese Web Forum As Social Vent · · Score: 1

    Warning: don't watch the sequel, even if you can get it for free. Here's pretty much the whole plot: Gunfire, somebody dies, somebody else dies, repeat.

    The first one was awesome though.

  23. relieved on City-Sized Asteroid to Pass Earth This Fall · · Score: 1

    I thought it said "City-Sized Asteroid to Fall on Earth This Pass"

  24. Re:Oh boy,here we go again... on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 4, Funny

    Three swigs ah rum to anyone who can find out who slashdotted our ship! Yarr!!
    I think it was slashdot.

  25. Excellent. on On the Trail to Atlantis · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope they find those infinite power crystal thingies down there.
