  1. Re:Fire Zonk. on Halo Movie Slated For 2007 · · Score: 1

    /signed.

  2. K, the boss is fine. on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    Boss scored like a 2 & 1/2.

    I'm however pushing the teens.

  3. Re:enough with the iSHIT on Booting an x86 Virtual Machine from an iPod · · Score: 1

    iWould.

  4. Re:O_o on Blizzard Closes North Offices · · Score: 1

    With WoW causing such explosive growth it makes sense to draw back the reins where you can. Renember the key developers to Diablo jumped ship long ago and created guild wars.

  5. Re:Remote control submarines... on Homebrew Underwater ROV · · Score: 1

    Kill switch on electricity lost is good but if you have a mechanical failure where you still have power available there could be a problem. If the lake is deep enough you may drop too deep where the air inside the sub is too pressurized to float even when the ballast is released.

    If you use a cO2 cartrige that had the firing ping energized with magnetics, you would definatly have enough lifting power for any reasonable depth, just need a heavy balloon or parachute.

    I'd like to see some sort of mechanical switch that engages on pressure depth. If you wander off too deep, the pressure would free the firing pin and you float up.

    In the end bring a fishing pole, if you are trying to match 2 weeks and $100 just keep a line on it and have some fins that pull the sub upwards when you pull on the string.

  6. incredible on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 5, Funny

    He died after suffering repeated blows to the head

    Whoever did it must have some strong lungs.

  7. Re:No kidding on What's the Best Way to Handle Scripting Under XP? · · Score: 1

    Its a perfect ask slashdot routine. My employer doesn't want to do it this way, I dont want to do it that way, how can I do it but still look cool in front of my friends?

  8. Re:Peltiers on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1

    K.
    Now that the pollution threat is seemingly lower and lower I think we are ready to compare the pollution in lost refrigerant vs extra gasoline used to power the peltier.

  9. Games on Sharp's Double-View LCD TV · · Score: 1

    The only possible benefit this could bring is console gaming for multiplayer on the same console. But its way to expensive for this and pointless for any other uses.

  10. Re:Dumb Article on RockStar Speaks · · Score: 1

    In the patch notes it talks about a suppliment that removes all of the girls clothing while drinking coffee. Perhaps that texture modifcation was made by the patch alone and is selectable somehow.

  11. Re:EPaper on Arizona School Won't Use Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Yea, I was just going to say its now $199 but you can't sell it as used next year. Nor can you buy a used version.

  12. thats great... on Create New Atari 2600 Games With BASIC · · Score: -1, Troll

    dude, WHAT THE FUCK?

  13. Wait, what? on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a court ruling a while ago that you could not get into trouble connecting to an open access point on the terms that its too easy to stumble off your own access point and onto someone elses.

  14. Re:Empire Day? on Virtual 4th of July · · Score: 1

    Its the day the clones can celebrate their independence from the tyranical Jedi.

  15. Re:Doesn't slower speed increase congestion? on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    I dont keep track of that happening in refferences of time, vs a ratio of how many times I see a car weaving through traffic. About 150 to 1 i'd say, out of those 150 cars weaving i'd say 5 of them cause people to brake behind them. Another 10 cause them to become dangerously too close without anyone caring to brake anymore. And 145 of them dont actually get any farther then just waiting for the lane to open up and simply pass on the right.

  16. Re:Doesn't slower speed increase congestion? on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    Going a lower speed can limit the total throughput of a freeway, but having a car accident or a series of braking because someone passess makes things alot worse.

  17. yes, so boring and uninspiring. on Windows Software Ugly, Boring & Uninspired · · Score: 1

    I swear. The windows software just feels so standard. Its like this boring old car that I take to work every day. I can't even soup it up like my camero. Which is in the proccess of beings souped up, when its ready its gonna be sweet!

    Not the article, the posting. As I quoted, the posting.

    Someone else already put it best:

    A Being Of Indescribable Power

  21. Re:Casual and hardcore cannot be mixed... on MMOGs Only For the Hardcore? · · Score: 1

    I want the hardcore players to go play over there so I can spend time building relationships with people I know wont bump 30% of their character next time I see them.

    Tradewars limited the amount of physical movments you could make throughout the day, it was a nice system but the hardcare characters would just buy multiple accounts and work together on their own little corporation.

  22. Re:Casual and hardcore cannot be mixed... on MMOGs Only For the Hardcore? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Limiting daily gameplay per character would definatly force everyone to be a casual player. Maybe this is a new server idea vs the player vs player and role playing and carebear servers. You would just add a "not in school anymore" server.
    I like this... You still never get to play with the hardcore gamers, but you would have alot more casual gamers to group with and be able to make friends with and all level together.

  23. wait, Pakistan? on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damnit! I was trying to cut the India line but it was all jibber this jabber that and being underwater didn't help my vision.

    I'm hoping to get enough bandwidth so I can stream the future.

  25. Re:not particularly relevant... on The Strange Energy Budget of Ethanol Production · · Score: 1

    What in the blazes are you talking about?

    Where do you think your going to get this ethenol during an energy crisis? If it takes 5 gallons of refined oil to make 1 gallon of ethanol your still going to run out of oil to make the ethenol. And when you switch to ethenol as your power source to grow the ethenol, you'll run out of energy even faster.
