  1. Already been done on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 2

    Just ask Vanilla Ice.

  2. Re:as simple as waving on Brain-Computer Interface Makes Learning As Simple As Waving · · Score: 1

    But it did get easier. I made it through Advanced Waving in about 6 months.

  3. Now we are going to have spam at the cellular level

  4. If it stops working on Earth's Core Made In Miniature · · Score: 1

    They can make a tiny Hillary Swank to go in and restart it!

  5. What kind of processor is in this phone? on Man Has Nokia Phone Embedded In False Limb · · Score: 1

    Anyone? Anyone....

  6. How long until we see this headline? on Google and Slooh To Broadcast Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    "Google to initiate lunar eclipse"

  7. Re:Provided... on Flash Is Not a Right · · Score: 1

    But you can get about 6+ years of development kit (@$99) for one Adobe Flash ($699). Just depends on what you want to build. (Just remember Linux, g++ and OpenGL are still FREE!)

  8. But you can use some of it on True Tales of Tech Hoarding · · Score: 1

    I have recycled several systems, upgraded others and always kept the hard drives (personal info paranoia). I took one apart the other day and decided that the three very reflective platters could be arranged to make a great shaving mirror for the shower.

  9. Like buying a used car on GameStop Sued Over Lack of DLC For Used Games · · Score: 1

    and not getting the 'new car' smell. But really, how many other things do you buy used and lose something over a new version: a book with a special coupon insert, DVD with ticket to the sequel, cereal missing the toy (strike that last one!)

  10. Right in the middle of printing a new organ... on Scientists "Print" Human Vein With 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    PC Load Letter!

  11. Looking for apps in development on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 1

    They will probably start trying to find good apps as they are being developed and tested. That way they can acquire them before they make it to the app store. Not that I would sell out on the app I am developing. Not even for a big chunk of cash and a good job at Google. No way. (Call me...)

  12. Re:Wii Sports Resort - Swordplay on Nintendo Working On Football Controller · · Score: 1

    Why are they doing all of this and still leaving behind the single best application of the wiimote - swordfights.

    There's even a Nerf sword you can stick the controller into if you want to feel a little more dorky.

    I think that should be the next big Wii title: "Feel a Little More Dorky"

  13. It's about time... on Pulsar Signals Could Provide Galactic GPS · · Score: 1
    We've been waiting

    - Jupiter 2

  14. it helps on Nintendo Brain Games Effectiveness Questioned · · Score: 1

    i pla 8 0r 9 days a weak. and it does gud. mi math is beter (i skor 12 0f 10 lots)

  15. First words would be on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    "Let's go bowling and then hit the Water Buffalo lodge - Hey where's Barney?"

  16. I know this guy! on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    I think he also invented this game where you lay a mat on the ground and it has 'conclusions' all over it and you jump from on to another. He called it ...

  17. I just had to try on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    I went to 'change.com' and sure enough - a women in her underwear! (I think it might have been a store site having a bra sale, but it was fun anyway!)

  18. So it really becomes a 'fun tax' on Craigslist Agrees With State AGs To Curb "Erotic Services" Ads · · Score: 1

    The providers will just add the 'advertising fee' to their prices. So the average price will go from $250 to $275. Er, I mean it will go from whatever they charge now to that plus $25. (Damn, now I have to rework my budget!)

  19. Amazing number of postings on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    I think the importance of this event is indicated by the number of postings and discussions it has generated here on /. It has to be a truly significant topic to draw thousands of responses! (Oh, by the way, I just read that they have proof that C++ is better than Java - discuss!)

  20. You know what this means... on Experimental Magnetic Shield Against Cosmic Rays · · Score: 4, Funny

    No hope of becoming one of the Fantastic Four. Bummer.

  21. That's just great on Microsoft Calls Today Global Anti-Piracy Day · · Score: 1

    Another trip to the Hallmark store to get Anti-piracy day cards.

  22. It looks like... on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    a giant Big Boy!

  23. Re:The real problems of the WWW ... on Berners-Lee Launches New W3 Foundation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think this post is on the right track. Since the WWW is essentially user interface and data distribution system (a truly amazing one) on top of a worldwide network infrastructure, and since most of the issues are content or access related, it seems that you would run into most of the same problems without the WWW layer in place. I could use archie to find an ftp site with music files on it then use ftp and mget to pull over some subset of those files with a single command. Same problems with RIAA, copyrights, etc. If I then try to access an ftp site which contains information my country considers subversive and they can trace my IP address, I still end up in jail without ever using a browser.

  24. What about ZeroCool! on The Cyber Crime Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    He 'hacked the Gibson' AND got to swim with Angelina Jolie.

  25. Please wait a little longer on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 1

    I am recreating my entire collection of photos from a certain magazine and I am only through 2004.
