  1. Re:isn't it obvious? on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod!!
    You're the bastard giving out my email address.

  2. Re:Might as well paint your car 'Arrest me Red' on RFID License Plates in the UK · · Score: 1

    Do we really need to save more people? If we were to save every dying person, excluding those from old age, we would be left with over population problems and I'd rather see people die than people starving and suffering.

  3. Re:Replace it with a key labelled [help] on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    Is there a way to map the windows key to short cuts? There are some default windows key shortcuts, like Win+[r,l,e,d,pause,etc], and you can map ctrl and/or shift and/or alt, but I haven't found anyplaces to map custom Win shortcuts, it would be so usefull for a single universal shortcut key... anyone know any programs that will do that for the windows key? Or perhaps, the caps lock key :)

  4. non-malicious virus? on Sasser Author Under Arrest, Say German Police · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't someone write a virus that 'spreads like wildfire' and infects all unpatched pc's and then auto runs windows update or just patches the systems? It might still be illegal, but it's not like anyone could sue for damages... just violation of privacy and unauathorized system changes. But who would really go after them?

  5. Google IPO links on Google Files for IPO · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://google-ipo.com/

    That site has been around for a while, a unofficial google ipo watch.

    Useful.

  6. Re:Lucid thinking on Brain's Cache Memory Found · · Score: 1

    Can you enter a room, then close your eyes and focus your thoughts and 'see' the room through your eyes in your head? I can do this partially though it seems very hollow, everything is there though.

  7. Re:Radio song... on Tesla Special on PBS · · Score: 1

    Did anyone read that as Mariah Carry's book about Nikola Tesla?

  8. Re:Timely Information on Tesla Special on PBS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    same here

  9. Re:disk space is cheap. on Speculating About Gmail · · Score: 1

    no, didn't you hear? they're going to be using Lzip

  10. Re:Microsoft Spy Planes on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 1

    Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

  11. cam + gun on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 1

    These seem pretty tiny and probably cheap to produce. Would a low quality real time cam to a little 3" lcd the soldier had be to difficult? That along with a few bullets, or perhaps darts since they would be lighter and require less reverse thrust to lunch. Even if one plane could only take out 6-10 people you could have 500 soldiers at home base take out the enemy with a flock of these.

  12. Tech Leap on Mice Get Human Breasts · · Score: 1

    I can see a huge technological leap in the field of breast cancer research with this new development. As soon as the porn industry hears of these mice I'm sure they generate a huge supply for their huge chains of.. 'research' shops. To be followed by their research of 'genital development' in the teenage female H. Sapien.

    i didn't rtfa, this is a joke

  13. Re:Lie Detector on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    Scary yes, plausible no.

    There is more information on the entirety of the internet than any computer could process as a whole no matter how expensive their super computer is. The thought of everyones thoughs is inconcievable. There's just to much information. It would most likely even be able to monitor dreams. While most people don't talk in their sleep or sleep walk I'm sure many have the thoughs of speech 'not yet spoke' that could be processed. Actually, that would be a awesome way to explore you subconscious, I'd like to try it just for that.

  14. Disk cache on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    It doesn't say in the article or specs what the disk cache is. For a drive so large I'd like to assume it's 8mb, does anyone know? Would they have a 2mb cache on a drive that big? Could it be that there isn't any cache?

  15. Shop lifting on Apple Sued in France for iPod Music Royalties · · Score: 1

    "Everyone pays for the ones that steal." Isn't that what stores have been doing for ages? If to many people shop lift they have to raise their prices? Not saying I agree, just pointing it out.

  16. Re:Cox does this... on Comcast Cuts Infected PCs' Network Connections · · Score: 1

    I do tech support for cox.

    If a customer does something against the AUP, then their acct will eventually be suspended until the problem is resolved.

    spam and viruses are against the AUP

  17. Licking frogs on Three Headed Frog · · Score: 1

    Wonder if you get a bonus if you lick that frog.

  18. Re:Poor cripple in school on Powered Exoskeleton Legs · · Score: 1

    I can see it now. A poor cripple in school has this exoskeleton. Then the school bully hacks it to beat up the kid wearing it*.

    How do you figure one could quickly, easily and tracelessly hack a system whose only accessible inputs are things like pressure sensors**?


    *This is a joke.
    **This is what happens when there is no disclaimer.

  19. Re:conservation of energy on Defending Earth From Asteroids With MADMEN · · Score: 1

    I just realized... they are already going to have engines to move around in space, and they will probably already be plasma engines since they are going to be nuclear powered in the first place... so they would just need to attach themselves upside down to the astroid and push...

  20. conservation of energy on Defending Earth From Asteroids With MADMEN · · Score: 1

    There's something I'm a little confused about. We're going to need to send robots to this rock with enough energy to dig a hole and throw a rock tennis ball. Now since the robot is going to have the fuel to do that... wouldn't it be able to use that same energy to power a tiny plasma engine to push energy in the other direction? Energy is engery, isn't it?

    Would it be more efficient to use it to dig and fling, or just power mini engines... I'm sure $ has something to do with it also.

  21. Re:Mythic? on Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I found the old /. article about that: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/22/ 2041254&mode=thread&tid=127&tid=186&tid=206&tid=20 9

  22. Re:Instead of MMORPG mythology... on Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The MMDOWXP is in the works, they just released the code for a MMDOW2K test run.

  23. Mythic? on Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Wasn't there a game named Mythic that had the nordic gods? And didn't they take MS to court over trademark or something to that effect. I seem to actually remember a story on /. relating to that precisely. Well, if they lost is there any smooth way to change the title of their upcoming game and admit defeat? Of course not, so they'll just say they've been working on some other MMORPG and change the name that way.

  24. Just what I always wanted. on At Long Last, Mice Produce Sperm From Monkeys · · Score: 1

    Now I'll have the perfect mousnkey. Perhaps they will also have a four assed mouse soon.

    I find this... really really disturbing... *shiver*

  25. Re:Nice....... but not disposable on Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver? · · Score: 1

    You must have felt like throwing away lots of money then. Most goop isn't use once throw away. It usually lasts for a multitude of uses. Do you think it would come with a lid if it was use once throw away? How much goop did you use on that video card? ya know, it's not supposed to be dripping off the sides and all over the card...
