  1. M$ is not scanning for virii . . . on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 1

    They're scanning for questionable software, mp3, isos, and kiddy porn.

  2. Re:"...without the cabling." on An Introduction To Wireless USB (WUSB) · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Every wire that's taken out will make a home theater system that much more usable. You could have one power cord for each component, one wire from each speaker to the central 6.1 amp, and one input wire from cable/digital cable/satelite. All the other signal wires from component to component would be done wirelessly. Selecting the source wouldbe easier, too, since a component that's turned off doesn't show up in the list of inputs.

    That would be cool.

  3. Re:The Home-Insudtrial Revolution? on Cheap Fast Eyeglasses from a Desktop Fabricator · · Score: 1

    Thats another idea. Is the printing of gun parts a form of 1st ammendment speech?

  4. Re:Mirror on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 1

    Quite possibly. I'm thinking that it was too hard to upload the midi sequence to the computer and remap the instruments.

  5. Re:Mirror on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 1

    Why in the world didn't you put the files into MIDI format?

  6. Re:brilliant idea for asthmatics on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1
    And as soon as those devices are made available, then you have all the criminals going free and continuing their dangerous activities, where the innocents are harrased and made to pay extra money for the devices.

    kinda reminds me of the gun laws.

  7. Re:Example of what the Road to Hell is Paved with on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Standard vehicle inspection will be flagged to report to the court.

  8. Re:Microsoft source code leak? Pfft, that's nothin on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 2, Funny

    So now both M$ AND Linux are open source, but Linux is profiting by it, and M$ is whining and crying about it. Bite back at the borg! You will be assimilated, too!

  9. Re:Does calculus really change that much? on Ripoff 101: Gouging Students for Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Technicians run more of the world than you think. The corporate sector only needs a certain percentage of research grade employees. Corporations actually tell the rest of the employees to refrain from asking why and how, because the decision makers can't digest the input from too many dissenting sources.

  10. Re:Slow already.. on Han Solo in Lego Carbonite · · Score: 2, Funny

    You killed my website! [p][p]No, Luke! I am your Slashdot!

  11. Re:hehe on Kazaa to Sue Movie, Record Companies · · Score: 1

    No, this is the file sharing community growing up and establishing their legal rights to what goes on in their network. Unfortunately when you establish legal rights, then you also assume legal responsibilities. Did I spell that right?

  12. Re:Haiku on Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium · · Score: 1

    How about using a superfluid as zero-loss momentum storage? Like a perfect flywheel?

  13. Re:Slightly OT on Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium · · Score: 1

    Mass and momentum?

  14. Re:Slightly OT on Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How can a fluid with no viscosity turn a turbine?

  15. Re:Rise up, my brethren! on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    Yeah, probably. Too bad Slashdot doesn't support post-editing, like CNN does. Haaa, I made a pun.

  16. FP? on Music Industry Develops Centralized File-Sharing System · · Score: -1, Troll

    +5 Troll.

  17. Re:Rise up, my brethren! on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Great. That only makes you an elitist. A Poser Nerd. True nerds don't care about what they look like or their order in the social chain. If love of science and technology becomes more widespread, then you should be happy that you can continue your hacking in a community, rather than as a prosecuted individual.

  18. Re:This is a good thing. on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 1
    Lindows is perfect for the intended use. It combines Linux and Windows in a way that furthur advertisement could never match. It's Linux that runs Windows.

    Now weather Lindows infringes on Windows will probably depend on how the case against Windows as a ligitimate trademark comes out. Or did I miss the results from that?

  19. Re:Spacewalk? on Space Shuttle to be Outfitted with New Sensors · · Score: 1

    How many astronaughts have we lost to spacewalks? It seams to me that at least one EVA suit should be standard equipment. A steel line anchored to the shuttle would prevent lost walkers. Spare tires take up weight, space and affect the design of cars, yet we almost never use them. They are considered mandatory equipment though. If we subscribed to NASA's point of view, it would be the wrecker that carried a few donuts for cars with flats, and in space, the wrecker isn't even coming.

  20. Spacewalk? on Space Shuttle to be Outfitted with New Sensors · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is it so difficult to just do a spacewalk and a visual inspection?

  21. Re:This is awesome on Viewing Inside the Earth · · Score: 1

    [quote]And they found 32 "mantle plumes" which are believed to cause island chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands and Iceland.[/quote] 100000 is binary 32. So the computer that calculates the question to life the universe and everything operates at 6 bits. Anyone care to guess the frequency?

  22. Re:a better version on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 1

    The grand unified subatomic particle theory?

  23. Re:How are we going to pay for all this? on Buzz Advocates Lagrange Point Spaceport · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The NASA budget is a mote of dust compared to the war budget. We have the resources. We need the motivation.

  24. Re:Where would this point be? on Buzz Advocates Lagrange Point Spaceport · · Score: 2, Informative

    You are correct for all Lagrange points in line with the Moon and the Earth. The L4 and L5 points, however will never need repositioning because they automatically re-center themselves. Unfortunately, L4 and L5 are just as distant as the moon is, and have no indiginous resources.

  25. Re:100MHz was the absolute limit on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    If the digits were numerical only, then the limit would be 99hex = 153mHz. I guess overclockers would be happy with a 53% improvement.
