  1. Re:Summary is wrong yet again on Lab Produces 3.6 Billion Degree Gas · · Score: 1

    Yeah but it's a dry heat, it's not the same. Have you ever been to South in the summer? On the sun your sweat evaporates cooling you instantly, you just need to stay hydrated. In hot humid conditions you just can't cool off.

  2. Re:Not For Sale on Oracle Bid to Acquire MySQL · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am starting a paypal collection box to make a competing bid. If enough of you contribute than I will attempt to out-bid Larry. If each slashdot userid contributes $100 USD we can make a very loud statement that free software should be free, unless someone tries to buy it and then it's really freaking expensive but we will buy it anyways and pretend it's free. Of course if not enough money is collected, at least we tried and I can buy that ipod I always wanted.

    I think Bobby Knight had it right when he said "if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

    Double billed is a lot better than tripled billed. You need to learn to put things in perspective. As my beloved Texas Tech coach once said "if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

  6. Re:not actually being collected on Apple Responds to iTunes Spying Allegations · · Score: 1

    I'd not only should they allow me to log onto their servers and see what server they are running but they should let me recompile their server with source code modifcations that I deem needed to veil my identity. Furthmore, I am morally opposed to HTTP/GET and believe Apple should suspend all HTTP/GET responses if they want my 99 cents.

    If this music tracking information allows us to nab a single terrorist on US soil to is worth the relatively small price. An Apple spokesman (reliable word has it that it was Steve Jobs himself) said several terrorist cells were identify after a nefarious pattern of Dixie Chicks downloads was mined from their database.

    Folks post-9/11 America cannot expect due process or privacy. Danger lurks in the shadows and casting a blinding light down the alleys of American pop culture is the only way to find this enemy.

  8. Re:Other presidents have done the same thing... on Senate Proposes Patriot Act Extension · · Score: 1

    Look you if you don't like what President Bush is doing than don't vote for his third term (you did hear about that Executive Order). Merry Freaking Christmas.

    Yes, good luck with that.

  10. Re:A useful app? on IBM Slows the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Dude you can't sell a chip starting at the fastest possible speed. That's the fastlane to financial ruin. You need to slow the thing down and then slowly rachet up the speed.

    Did you just coin a new term? Penetration point?

    you missed the rest of the quote: Then, more seriously, he added, "I'm not scared about being arrested now that I'm here. Michael has good lawyers. San Diego is only a couple of miles from Mexico and I have some family their."

    I, for one, welcome our new ass-wiping overloads.

  14. This is an idea on PTO Eliminates "Technological Arts" Requirement · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is an idea I wish I had patented. Imagine patenting the concept of patents before there was such thing as patents. The royalties from the patent office alone would be enough to retire on.

  15. Re:Yeah but the article is inacurate. on Magnetic Field Thruster Developed · · Score: 1
    I wonder if Corning wouldn't mind a rather large contract to test using their diamond deposition process for lining the the other components. That's just a few issues off the top of my head that would be easy to address.

    I will give Corning a call this morning and find out, I will report back to Slashdot with Corning's response.

    What are we suppose to eat if we are severely deficient in trans-fats? I listen to my body and when it says trans-fat storage running low, I grab a bag of Oreos to eat on the way to McDonalds.

  20. Re:Music videos are the new mp3? I think not. on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 1

    Especially when MTV and VH1 already pump out the same drek day in, day out.
    I watch MTV and VH1 several hours a day and was not aware they play music videos. They play about as many videos as clearchannel radio plays songs.

    Better prints 50's because printing 20's doesn't even cover the ink costs...

    To quote the article "The payment services we are working on are a natural evolution of Google's existing online products and advertising programs, which today connect millions of consumers and advertisers"
    So an advertiser can give you 5 bucks off if you buy from them. Or maybe reward points to use in the network.

    You look at the glass half-empty my friend. Imagine all sorts of cool applications. I can send an email for pizza, no address needed. Pre-fill my ship to form at Amazon. My Yahoo will know where I am and give me weather and news accordingly.
