  1. Re:Regarding Apples .... on The Media's Crush on Apple · · Score: 1

    I see Grape, Orange, and Cream Soda all the time in the grocery store here.

    7-Eleven seems to have the Sour Apple kind. I wish I could buy a case of cans of it, but I can't find any :(

    and, uh, er, macbook pro for the win! or something. Like, totally, yeah.

  2. Regarding Apples .... on The Media's Crush on Apple · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This is rather off-topic, but has anyone tried Sour Apple Crush Soda? It's awesome :)

    Anyway, to bring the post on-topic, I'm excited about the new hardware, but I can see how the media coverage of apple over the last little while is quite reminiscient of Slashdot's coverage of Google.

    All praise, no raze. Or something. Basically, Apple is the Golden Delicious of the consumer tech companies right now. Eventually something will happen to change that, but for the forseeable future it will remain stable as the 'darling child' it currently is.

  3. Re:OS X + Windows + Linux.... on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is not acceptable, PC's are just too loud and power hungry.

    How exactly do you suggest that the PC hardware found in the new Apple computers will remedy this situation?

  4. It'll work itself out on Interactive Learning Fails Reading Test · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Issues like this will be resolved over time as the human mind adapts to constant distractions - already, we do more with our minds on a daily basis than humans of only a half-century ago. In the future I'm sure our children will be able to learn calculus while playing video games, chatting on their mobile communicators, and picking out their wardrobe for the following week.

    Either that or the earth will drop to drastically lower free-floating oxygen levels and our brains will be so starved for precious O2 that we'll barely be able to string together four words ... me tarzan, you jane ...

  5. Re:Dorothy hit by lightning on Puzzling Electric Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a valid point, especially when you consider that the extreme amount of debris and ash in a volcanic eruption's plume (and in resulting pyroclastic flows) leads to a significant amount of lightning activty.

  6. Re:Bugs are fine... on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    why? forty-two

    I tried that, doesn't work.

  7. Re:Paper this is based on on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1

    There is no reason to believe that the theory won't be falsified.

    So many negatives - I'm having trouble parsing that sentence into discrete logic. Can you please rephrase it so my feeble flu-ridden mind can understand it?

    Are you saying the theory appears likely to be proven valid?

    In Soviet Russia, vinters are wery, wery cold.

  10. Resistance is Useless on Wine Tasting Via Computer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I couldn't get WINE to compile under FreeBSD4.11, and I don't drink alcohol, so this article is doubly irrelevant to me :)

    I just thought I'd say that, in case any other people were in either of those two boats :)

  11. Re:In a totally unreleted news on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 1

    As I understand it, the "million dollar homepage" has an upper bound - one million dollars. And if I recall correctly, he's already earned $911,000.

    So, Slashdot is too little, too late. :)

    I own an acre on the moon.

  13. Re:Katamari HIV on Slashback: Little Red Hoax, Firefly, Google · · Score: 1

    Much like a DNS server run by a 14 year old, he is not authoritative. He's mapping the people he named to characters in the game based on how they appear to us.

    you know what's even worse than penetrating missle bombs?

    Citrus juice.

    You can incapacitate any foe by spritzing citrus juices into their eyes.

    A term has already been coined for this kind of armored exoskeleton system:

    MechWarrior.
