  1. Re:Bandwidth crunch on Space Wars · · Score: 2, Informative

    And NASA has had bad luck with a new TDRS satellite.

  2. Re:Shooting them down? I think there is a treaty.. on Space Wars · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is some information on a treaty from 1983 which prohibits use of force against satellites and also prohibits using satellites to shoot at the earth.

  3. Re:when you devote 90% of your staff to sales on Red Hat In Business News · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't forget the development is done by millions of unpaid volunteers.

  4. Re:And this is wrong why? on Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please · · Score: 1

    And if Zaphod Beeblebrox is playing a CD on the 'Heart of Gold' while the Infinite Improbability drive is running, the CD will be playing in all parts of the universe at the same time - putting every living being in copyright violation. Your point is?

  5. Minnesota on Minnesota Bill Would Prevent Disclosure of Web Habits · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this for websites in Minnesota, customers in Minnesota, or TCPIP packets which happen to go through Minnesota?

    I respect the right of people to make local laws ... but sometimes local laws simply can't work.

  6. Rich on Another Go At Making Spam Cost Money · · Score: -1, Redundant

    They're going to be rich when they add this payout to the previous ones

  7. Re:Feature Freeze on Microsoft: Trust and Antitrust · · Score: 1

    Since the majority of OSS projects are at version 0.x, they're all in bugfix mode? Right?

  8. Re:Slashdotted already on PVR For Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    For screenshots just turn on your TV.

  9. Re:Bahhh! on Beware The Campus Police · · Score: 1

    If you're going to store information like that then all identifying information should be stripped as the data is entered. It is never going to be needed for a legitimate reason ... so get rid of it.

  10. Yeah, and on Beware The Campus Police · · Score: 1
    They entered and took her university-issued Apple Macintosh computer, she said. ... They returned the computer the next day

    No big deal.
  11. Not a monitor on Wireless Monitors? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's not a wireless monitor. It's a tablet PC running a terminal server client.

    Next.

    (Score: -1, Treasonous)

    Seditious. If you're going to get hanged, make sure it's for the correct crime!

  13. Re:sad on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They're not innocent, they're potential terrorists and therefore evil

  14. Re:SETI@home on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can you break this sort of problem down that easily? I would think there is too much interdependency between cells - which would mean a lot of communication needed across the network.

  15. Re:Memento on DVD Format Changing Movie-making · · Score: 1

    There definitely is in Nolan's earlier film, "Following".

    Don't you mean "Could send me forward to the first time you have sex"?

  18. Car on When Looks Can Kill · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm half-way through putting one of these in my car - leaves my hands free to drink coffee, tune the radio etc.
    Come Monday morning, if you're driving in Portland, OR, you might want to take extra care at junctions until I've got the bugs ironed out.

  19. Black and White. on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 2, Funny


    Yet again, another issue which everyone thinks has to be resolved one way or another.

    Why can't I have a mix of realism and fantasy? Carmageddon - cartoonish environment but realistic physics; not necessarily the physics of real-life - but deterministic behaviour that felt right. Or ID games, realistic environment (and getting more realistic with each revision) but a fantastic game - Return to Castle Wolfenstein had zombies and stuff

  20. Re:OpenGoogle? on Google to Offer API · · Score: 1

    You don't need to source code for that, do you? You need the Pigeon genome

  21. Re:Touchscreen mouse? on No-click Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Touchscreens are sensitive to touch though, not pressure. It is awkward to use a mouse with your fingers raised.
    pressure sensitive touch screens exist, they're a lot more complicated though.

  22. Bicycle. on Hack Your Ignition (Before Someone Else Does) · · Score: 1, Funny

    That's why I cycle. Nothing to hack into.

    The lightbulb. Everyone thinks Edison did, but Joseph Swan actually invented the lightbulb before Edison

  24. Edison didn't even invent the lightbulb. on Living on Internet Time... Like Thomas Edison Did · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Joseph Swan, from the great city of Sunderland, did.

    The light bulb

    Edison improved it.

  25. I don't expect I'll ever sync a Zaurus to Outlook on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't expect I'll ever sync a anchovie and bacon pizza to Outlook; doesn't mean it's a good reason to want one though.
