  1. Projecting onto large public surfaces on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's done best with the Yatta video

  2. Play original quake obviously on Ethernet at 10 Gbps · · Score: 1

    I mean it's not worth playing if you don't have 1 or 2ms ping time...

  3. Nuclear Boogie Man on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The public fears the word "nuclear" as a little child fears the word "boogie man." How a microwave was ever sold is beyond me...

  4. What's next? on Will LOTR:ROTK Extended Edition Hit Cinemas? · · Score: 1

    An extended version of Gods and Generals?

  5. Maybe it has a car alarm? on CMU's Snooping Robot Headed for Iraq · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Insurgents stand back! This car is protected by Viper! If you do not stand back the alarm will sound!" Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!

  6. That's neat but... on CMU's Snooping Robot Headed for Iraq · · Score: 1

    It's no ED209

  7. I can see the wire! on Flying Car More Economical Than SUV · · Score: 1

    "The wire is there because the insurance company required it" Right...

  8. DNF Three Years Ago on On E3's Missing Cavalcade Of Games · · Score: 1

    In 2001 I swore we'd have that ellusive title by Christmas with the E3 video they gave us. The game looked practically finished. I have no idea what happened to the game that they showed at 2001 E3 but it is obviously not going to be the game that ships.

  9. Legality on Stop Cell Phones Without Stopping Pacemakers... · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What is the legality of these devices? Isn't this sort of like wireless DOS?

  10. Well on John Woo & Metroid the Movie? · · Score: 0

    At least it can't be worse. Also, with John Woo at the helm, maybe we can expect to see Ben Afleck cast as Samus.

  11. Quantum computer on Trekkie Communicators Now a Reality · · Score: 0

    It knows what you want before you do

  12. Online Porn on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Online Porn is lending a hand to the rest of the industry...

  13. Maybe they are right sometimes on Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well? Once the geenie is out of the bottle, can't exactly complain about it then can you? Kind of like the anti-nuke crowd...

  14. An Actor as Governor on California Makes Recording in Cinema a Crime · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now the movie industry really does have a say with the governator... expect more industry friendly laws!

  15. And the link is... on China's Space Launch Near; Malaysia Wants One, Too · · Score: 0

    Right Here

    It probably wasn't a good idea to show a first attempt at manned space flight. If something does go wrong, China would have to admit that it still couldn't duplicate the success of the late 1950's even after purchasing their whole space program from the Russians.

  16. Slashdot... on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 2, Funny

    News for Nerds... and Militia members.

  17. Outsourcing Freedom? on India Blocks Yahoo Groups Over Political Content · · Score: 0

    It's too bad that with all that outsourcing companies do to India and Asia they couldn't outsource a little more of a concept I call freedom.

  18. Marine Doom on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 0, Informative

    They are probably talking about Marine DooM. This is a mod of DooM II once used by the USMC for training.

    But of course the press never talks about the details in these situations, and just tries to sensationalize any video-game related death.

  19. It should be enough on Virginia Tech to Build Top 5 Supercomputer? · · Score: -1

    It's a G5 right? Then it should be enough to run Wolfenstein. Oh did they release that for MAC? I can't remember.

  20. So who has more lawyers? on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: -1

    The RIAA/MPAA or SCO? It seems like they are singlehandedly keeping the market for lawyers insatiable.

  21. *cries* on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 5, Funny

    *Holding precious copy of Water World*. You mean Kevin Costner LIED to us?! But this was such a good movie!

  22. I wonder on Hardware Manufacturers Gouging Customers · · Score: 0

    I wonder if this "you bought the license not the software" attitude is coming out of Cisco's Software, Hardware, or legal department? Seems kind of silly when the router doesn't have a EULA like most software, oh I mean licenses, that you buy.

  23. I'm ready on Clock Ticking for Hubble · · Score: 0

    I've got my catcher's mit ready but is it going to be enough? Well I'll figure that out when I get there.

  24. Ludicrous Speed... Go! on Amphibious RVing for the Masses · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll be impressed when I can have my Winnebago fly around in space and get chased by a giant transforming vacuum... at ludicrous speed!

  25. Fire is cheaper on Picking Up the Pieces · · Score: 0

    Why shred or acid bath your documents when you can set them on fire too? Why stop there? Set your whole office on fire and collect the insurance. Plus you've taken care of your incriminating documents... Oh I'd better stop before I give those sleazy execs more ides...
