  1. The interwebs! on How the Internet Didn't Fail As Predicted · · Score: 1

    The internet is "failing"...if all the big media fatcats have their way, the internet will have "failed".

    Now the use of the term "internet" is far-reaching, so I suppose for all of it to actually fail, every backhoe in the world would have to find a buried pipe and start digging at the same time. But I digress...

  2. Range of motion. on "Skinput" Turns Your Body Into Your I/O · · Score: 1

    So what happens if you were to re enact some of Michael Jackson's music videos? I could guess but what fun would that be!

  3. Bummer! on Western Digital Launches First SSD · · Score: 1

    I was hoping to see if WD is coming out with a new line of raptors, 300GB or so, running at 15k using SATA3 interface. It's been 2 years since the velo refresh and my 74GB rappy is getting long in the tooth, but it still works!

    Keep on truckin' guys!
    Sidenote, I have 4OCZ SSD's in raid0 on an Adaptec card, simply stunning performance.

  4. That's some summary! on Mariposa Botnet Beheaded · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sometimes you can just tell it's a kdawson submission. I would like to see a summary of the summary now please!

  5. It's not one guy! on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it was upwards in the many of dozens if not in the hundreds of individuals. This is probably only a problem because they didn't pay any taxes on income earned this way.

  6. Re:Color me impressed! on IBM Claims Breakthrough Energy-Efficient Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Most cell phones are pretty much crap anyways. It's not a stretch that literal "poo phones" will allow people to post on /. in the past. Just like this craptacular post.

  7. Color me impressed! on IBM Claims Breakthrough Energy-Efficient Algorithm · · Score: 1

    And that color would be blue! Hopefully us mere mortals will be able to benefit from such algorihtms.

  8. Re:Elections are coming up... on Aussie Internet Censorship Minister Censors Self · · Score: 1

    Maybe next time I'll just copy and paste this post and beat you to it.

  9. A new type of license... on Free Software Foundation Urges Google To Free VP8 · · Score: 1

    ...a "Free as in Beer" license would be probably sound better.

  10. how BIG and small are we talking about here? on Operation Titstorm Hits the Streets · · Score: 2, Funny

    ( o )( o )
    too small?
    ( O ) ( O )
    just right?

  11. Re:A Simulated Fire Sale... on Simulated Hack To Test US Government Response · · Score: 1

    Well that didn't go exactly as planned :(

  12. A Simulated Fire Sale... on Simulated Hack To Test US Government Response · · Score: 1

    Bruce Willis is not impressed! (or) There's an app for that!

  13. iPhone GPS app? on Next X-Prize — $10M For a Brain-Computer Interface · · Score: 1

    Need some way to know where you are at? There's a map for that!

    Seriously, let's just work on getting "brain in a jar" to a functional state, and get the kinks worked out before Apple gets a hold of it and turns it into an iBody.

  14. Nothing left? on Cool NASA Tech That Will Never See Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So really NASA is just supporting the ISS and launching satellites into orbit? Oh if Sagan was alive today!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_sagan/

  15. Well duh! on Does Personalized News Lead To Ignorance? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Boring news is called boring because it is indeed boring. If people were interested in boring news then it wouldn't be boring, it would be interesting. Technically anything that is newsworthy shouldn't be boring, because it would be interesting to someone.

    Ok now I'm boring myself with this.

  16. Re:Humans were not meant to fall out of the sky on Skydiver To Break Sound Barrier During Free-Fall · · Score: 1

    If I ever see a NOTAM I immediately shred it. If the ship doesn't have a helipad on it then they don't need to know. Now if you were to read all your GOLDs or PURPLEs...colour me impressed.

  17. CN Tower is still #1 on World's Tallest Building To Open Monday · · Score: 1

    For it's observation deck is still higher off the ground than the public observation deck of the Burj. Unless they were lying about that as well, but I don't think I'll be going back to Dubai any time soon to verfiy the vertigo.

  18. "Supreme courts" on Italy May Censor Torrent Sites · · Score: 1

    Arn't they run by judges who are also lawyers? It would be neat if normal people AKA jurists were in charge but I don't think that is/ever will be the case.

  19. The only way to fly safe! on Bruce Schneier On Airport Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is to either remove all people from flights, or somehow put them all into a coma for the duration of the flight.

  20. Only Demo? on DX11 Tested Against DX9 With Dirt 2 Demo · · Score: 1

    Bah, try the full version ("available" since the evening of the 2nd), and then see what ya get.

  21. Re:wrong question on Network Security While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    I suggest watching "Proof of Life" before wandering around South America looking like a rich American for whatever reason you may have.

  22. Re:mythbusters have to test the 87kg of TNT part n on Life and Work On the LHC At CERN · · Score: 1

    And then when THAT ultimately doesn't work, they put in 10 times the amount and do it again.

  23. Good news everyone! on Proton Beams Sent Around the LHC · · Score: 1

    It's just an ordinary particle beam. But watch out, because that's no ordinary particle beam!

  24. Re:First brick on iPhone Owners Demand To See Apple Source Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    All in all it's just another brick in the iWall

  25. Re:This was known for some time on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    That's why I stopped drinking coffee, and ignore traffic lights whenever prudent.
