  1. A fitting soundtrack.. on Clam That Was Killed Determining Its Age Was Over 100 Years Older Than Estimated · · Score: 1
  2. Can't delete acount on Joining Lavabit Et Al, Groklaw Shuts Down Because of NSA Dragnet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So I thought: well time to delete my slashdot account, I don't need anyone tracing certain posts back to my email account, but guess what? Slashdot doesn't allow deletion of account! That's more of a reason than ever to want to delete it IMHO.

  3. Re:typo on DNSSEC Comes To .Net Zone Today · · Score: 1

    Skwisgaar Skwigelf from Dethklok, is that you?

  4. Watch it NOW live on Nasa TV... on Atlantis Links Up To Hubble For Repairs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, they're broadcasting the whole operation live on Nasa TV.
    http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

  5. Re:ISPs on Botnet Expert Wants 'Special Ops' Security Teams · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What better warning to a user that his/her machine is infected than email suddenly dissappearing?

  6. The birth of europa? on Jupiter's Great Red Spot Is Shrinking · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please tell me there will be a 2010 joke in here somewhere...don't dissapoint me moviegeeks!

  7. Re:Or they're terrified on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..or terrified that what they've believed their whole lives might actually not be true. It's the ultimate test of your faith!

  8. Spacebat? nah.. on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Spacebatman, now that would be news!

  9. Will never work... on Researchers One Step Closer To Creating Life · · Score: 0

    ..consciousness precedes matter. Just throwing matter together won't magically instill consciousness.

  10. Not surprising... on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 5, Informative
  11. Awareness/consciousness.. on Ray Kurzweil Wonders, Can Machines Ever Have Souls? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    is not 'of this world'. Science will take ages before they'll realise the basic truths described in countless religious and new-age texts that we've had for centuries..

  12. Reminds me of Seth on "Dark Flow" Outside Observable Universe · · Score: 1

    The Seth books from the 70's already mentioned strange stuff like this.. In short, as our tools and science advances, we'll see more things that point in the direction of an 'unseen universe', a 5th dimension. But because our tools are part of the camouflage dimension we're in, we can't use them to probe the 'real' universe. Interesting stuff, to me anyhow!

  13. Re:Seems stupid on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the only thing the mafia has to do to escape persecution, is to 'rebrand' themselves as a religion? Maybe my example is a bit extreme, but if a religion/cult happens to do a lot of criminal stuff, then I'd rather do something about it then ignore it and hope it goes away by itself.

  14. Re:Responsibility on Harvard Prof Says Computers Need to Forget · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, except that a computer can show a lot of persons far more accurately what that stupid thing was, instead of that *one* person *maybe* remembering it.

  15. Re:Follow Australia on US Pennies To Be Worth Five Cents? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not just Australia, most European countries ditched the 1 and 2 eurocent coint some years ago as well.

  16. Some fun netcraft stats.. on Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    Apparantly, the site is hosted here in Holland, and the owner is Dutch (surprise, surprise!).
    Also noteworthy: "http://www.billgatesforpresident.net was running Apache on Linux when last queried at 30-Nov-2006 21:41:05 GMT "

  17. Re:Who are you? The fucking thought police? on Domain Resale Market Is Phisher Heaven · · Score: 1

    With a post like that, I'm starting to think you're a phisher yourself ;)

  18. Re:It isn't needed. on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: 1

    You could also argue that the fact it's an "inherently embarrassing purchase" what makes it so succesful on the internet ;)

  19. Yes! My life is allright again! on In The Beginning, There Were Video Game Magazines · · Score: 1

    ..and it's all thanks to CVG!!

    (if you get this, you probably read the tongue-in-cheek comics about CVG in CVG as well;))

  20. That's not a car on Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's not really fair to compare a formula 1 design electric vehicle to a 'standard' ferrari car. The way I read the summary, I imagined something more of a 'every day driving' car..what are you supposed to do when it rains?

  21. People will get used to it.. on Nintendo UK Defends the Wii · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..OVer here in Holland, they started a new channel called 'Yorin'. First, everybody was laughing and calling it 'urine', but that joke soon got old, and now it's just another channel on TV. And I'm sure all these foaming-mouth discussions concerning Wii will die away in time as well.

  22. Re:No, no, no... don't ask any women on An Editorial Melee About Female Gamers · · Score: 1

    Yes! And instead of debating, they could, like, MUD WRESTLE:D BRILLIANT!

  23. Re:OK it had to be said on Government-Aided Phishing · · Score: 1

    ducks? Where's my revolution controller!

  24. Re:Bureacratic incompetence? on DHS Gets Another "F" In Cyber Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes it can, and stop calling me Shirley :o

  25. Where is my 'Gaint Meteor hits earth' article on Opera Purchase Rumour Control · · Score: 1

    "Which, of course, is not to say it won't happen ... it just hasn't happened yet."

    If these are the standards for publishing articles, I'm waiting for more exciting articles then something containing a rumor involving the buying of Opera.
