  1. At the doctor office. on DNA Computer Detects, Treats Disease · · Score: 3, Funny

    "That DNA computer you gave me got a virus."

    Doctor says, "How do you know?"

    "Because I have this obsession to mail everybody I know a vile spit... Here's a letter."

  2. Third phase on Homeless to be Implanted with Subdermal RFID Tags · · Score: 1

    Third phase is Inplant one everyone else. (Oh wal-mart has already implmenting that...) Just those homeless people can't afford their junk, so it has to be forcible implaned.

  3. Just a simple procedure. on Homemade Subliminal CDs · · Score: 1
    Hello Slashdotters, I am totally stumped on how to do this. I would like to create custom subliminal CDs for my own use.

    Very simple use Audacity and some other ripper. Record your message, turn the volume down, change the pitch whatever. Rip your cd to a wave file then mix your message with any your track. Finally reburn the track onto a CD and walla!

  4. Sure it will only take ten years. on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    Press release from 2014,"... a new break through in multi-fermionic bohemian fusion technology will enable scientists to create a self prepetuating fusion reaction in only ten years commercial." I'll beleive it when I see it. Have you ever noticed that fusion is always just ten years down the road?

  5. A list of flux radion of house hold environment. on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 1

    A question is whether the DNA strand breaks induced by magnetic fields in our studies (Lai and Singh, 1997a, and this study) are biologically significant. The flux densities (0.01- 0.5 mT) used in our studies are within the levels that one could encounter in the environment. Household and office levels of extremely low frequency can vary from 0.01-1 T. Intermittent levels can reach more than 10 T. Levels near a power transmission line can be 10-30 T, whereas the magnetic flux density can vary between 0.1 and 1 mT near some electrical appliances (e.g., electric blankets, hair dryers). Much higher levels are expected in occupational exposures (Bernhardt 1985; Gauger 1984; Krause, 986; Tenforde and Kaune 1987). Looks like you shouldn't be blow drying your hair for hours on end. But were geeks and we don't do that. I'm going to keep my electric rasor. Who believes that brain damage stuff anyway? I sur.se0s9ejlz/l ,zx mxzlifmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  6. Bill Already giving up. on New York Spam Ring Lawsuits · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, has publicly stated that he plans to make the fight against spam one of the software maker's top priorities.

    Transalation: Quality and security, are too difficult to achieve. Well do anit-spam instead.

  7. Re:1400 feet? on Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, now I know why my downloads have been so slow guess it's time to enable encryption.

  8. Re:A Real Change on DARPA's Autonomous Vehicle Challenge Too Popular? · · Score: 4, Funny
    No more Truck Drivers and the wreaks from them being too tired.

    Instead there will be loads of wrecks from overworked programmers messing up a few lines of critical code. At that point terrorists will have no need to hijack an airplane, they'll just release virus "InsaneTruck.vbs", or "WackAPedestrian.asx" and every vehicle on the road becomes a remote weapon of terror.

  9. Re:in australia I hear they have mandatory voting on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 1
    The goal for voting is not to get a good turn out! But electing the best representitive. Forcing people who don't care and don't cave clue who's running for office to vote would do little toward the true end of the vote. At best clueless people would throw random noise into the vote. At worst the vote would be even more easily manipulated by people with access to mass media, because the people with a clue would be out numbered at least 80% to 20%.

    The real solution to the problem isn't getting more people to vote, but getting more people to educate themselves so they will want to vote.

  10. Re:Hmm on White House Obfuscates Email · · Score: 1

    So your saying you read all of your e-mail? I could only imagine how much spam is sent to the president@whitehouse.gov address. I would be surprised if more than one percent of the mail received is from actual people. Just finding the real stuff would be next to impossible. It's inevitable that ligitimate letters would be lost.

  11. Re:Ride a bike, ride public transport on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    Bicycles are great and wonderful, but imagine this for a moment. You a father of three coming back from the grocery store. You have four bags of groceries dangling from you handle bars. One child in a car seat on the bicycle holding two bags of groceries, and two children strapped in a bike stroller under a sack of flour, sugar, and potatoes. What a sight!

  12. Synesthesia for the programmer on New Insights into Synesthesia · · Score: 1

    If only they could figuire out how to cause this condition in programmers so that software bugs where a blaring red.

  13. Re:MPlayer on Windows Media Format Could Hit Linux-Based Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I downloaded and compiled MPlayer last week and discovred that is plays Windows Media formats better than Windows Media player. For instance streaming video scaled to full screen with no noticable slow-down in frame-rate on mplayer. Do the same thing, on the same machine with XP and Window Media Player, and it's a filmstrip 1 to 2 frames a second. Also noticed that MPlayer doesn't drop connections like WMP does.

  14. Re:DVD-A and SACD aren't much better anyway on The Future of the CD · · Score: 1

    Of course with the higher frequencies, an artist could have every dog in the neighborhood howling. How about that for special effects.

  15. If there so worried the voting soft. is closed on Computer Scientists Rally for Reliable Voting System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If there so worried the voting software is closed source, why not start and open source project?
