  1. Nobel Prize candidate! on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    Ig Nobel, that is... looks like a shoe-in.

  2. adware on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    but in order to finance this development we must first download adware into your brain.

  3. in the year 2015 on Siemens Develops 1 gbit/sec Wireless Link · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    will hi tech still look keen?
    will tv be obscene?


    in the year 2026...
    will we be ruled by a buncha pricks?
    will google fail from phony clicks?

  4. Re:itunes is great and all but... on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    as far as I know, there's no minimum. I've been paid for some iTunes stuff (also Rhapsody and Sony Connect), but music bought thru the German ITMS is somehow 'stuck' owing to the newness (???) of the German store.

    Apparently I'm not the only indie waiting to get paid.... and yes I *think* the majors get better treatment but as far as payments go I'm not privy to that.

  5. itunes is great and all but... on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 4, Informative

    as an indie musician with stuff on iTunes, they don't have it together internally. I've had sales from 6 months ago that I haven't been paid for yet.

    it's great that they're opening these new outlets and all but they're lacking in some basics.

  6. Re:Water vapor is a greenhouse gas too on Creating Hydrogen With (Very) Hot Water · · Score: 1

    what is the emission rate of water vapor per unit distance driving from an existing gasoline powered car vs that of hydrogen? Similar? Different?

    Also note that water vapor has the slight edge over CO2 in that it condenses to liquid. So maybe contribution to greenhouse effect would be less....

  7. and forget cold weather on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1

    here in chicago that would be a car you'd drive at most 9 months of the year. leave it out for a couple hours in 5 degree Chicago winter and it's f*cked.

  8. Fraud? on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Stories like this seem to come every few months... is this legit or some weirdo scammer?

  9. Re:Speaking of filters... on Hacking Vodka · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... after evaporating off the water, THEN you drink the pee?

  10. Re:Common knowledge? on Hacking Vodka · · Score: 1

    since it's low on the list, I shouldn't bother putting water in my Brita????

  11. Re:I dont think its such a bad idea on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 1

    "free tv" needs some sort of revenue.

    ?????

    they *charge* for this service. how much money do they need????????

  12. Re:Backups? on The Music Man · · Score: 1

    well that's a load off my mind... I'd hate to see him lose everything from a HD crash...

  13. Wow! Still in the U.S. ?? on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 1

    why haven't these a-holes just packed up & moved to India? They could cut salaries by 85%, eliminate bennies altogether and still work 'em to the bone.

    Or... is there some reason the workers at EA haven't unionized? It's still legal in the US.

  14. there's no camera in it! on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 1

    we have phones that take pictures, why not put a camera in this thing? Even a simple one. Doesn't make much sense without it.

  15. Echelon's exemption list? on The Hardware Behind Echelon Revealed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What I'd like to see is the list of numbers blocked from processing. White House? Kremlin? Saudi royal family? Raytheon executives and mistresses? Don't tell me everyone's equal under this scheme.

  16. Re:Not a good idea on A Killer App For Segway · · Score: 2, Funny
    (And to the other poster, the PCH is the Pacific Coast Highway.)
    In Chicago we have LSD, which is conveniently both.
  17. Re:Not a good idea on A Killer App For Segway · · Score: 2, Funny
    my 93 year old grandmother weaves in and out of heavy traffic on PCH
    is this a highway or a drug?
  18. Re:I love these plucky little guys on Mars Rover Spirit Recovers From Steering Glitch · · Score: 1
    we should consider ramping up the rate and diversity of robotic planetary missions, rather than attempting a complex, dangerous manned mission with insufficient funding.
    .. yeah, and no plan to win the peace.
  19. Wal-Mart = on Inside Wal-Mart IT · · Score: 1

    Wal-Mart = cheap junk sold to more or less captive audiences, bought from squeezed (mostly offshore) suppliers, thru stores staffed by underpaid workers. Who wants to race them to the bottom? Who (if you have a choice) wants to work there? Who wants to emulate them? Who wants to sell to them? Kee-rist!!!!!

  20. twelve step meetings??? on Coffee is Addictive · · Score: 1

    So what are we s'posed to drink at our twelve step meetings? Distilled Water???

  21. Re:fleet of nuclear submarines, both in Wisconsin on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 2, Funny

    Our deterrent against the Canadian threat.

  22. Costs vs gasoline? Energy efficiency? on BMW Shows Off World's Fastest Hydrogen Car · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, so you're splitting water to get the H2 then liquifying it. Anybody care to comment on the cost per mile (km) of running on H2 vs gasoline, assuming idealized production & distribution of H2?

  23. Re:Myths and reality about hydrogen cars on BMW Shows Off World's Fastest Hydrogen Car · · Score: 1

    900 degrees C is hot enough to melt/soften/burn most underhood parts, no?

  24. Re:Forget Hydrogen on BMW Shows Off World's Fastest Hydrogen Car · · Score: 1

    uhhhh... yeah.... sucking on a pipe full of liquid helium.... good idea!

  25. Re:Andromeda Strain - "me too" on Genesis Capsule Crashes; Chutes Blamed · · Score: 1

    it's amazing how fast some obscure thing comes up on /. ...

    this Andromeda Strain thing occurred to me too. shee...
