  1. That wont work.. on Researchers Use Lasers For Cooling · · Score: 5, Funny

    It would freeze the water around the shark.

  2. Re:Reaffirms my theory on Scientists Take Most Accurate Reading Yet of Universe's Cooling · · Score: 1

    in 5 billion years, it will be sad to see the Earth engulfed in a red giant, but we willprobably be able to move the Earth to the appropriate distance by then.

  3. How do you... on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 0

    Keep a strand of DNA "alive" in your computer?

  4. I really just don't get... on New Asteroid Mining Company Emerges · · Score: 1

    How this could possibly be cost effective? I mean even in foreseeable future, the cost would be so much more than what ever they could gather.

  5. Re:Hmm. on Hobbyist Builds Working Replica of Iron Man's Laser Gauntlet · · Score: 2

    All this will do is make people blind, maybe burn out a camera ccd.

    Or bring down a plane....

  6. Ion Thrusters on NASA's Ion Thruster Sets Continuous Operation Record · · Score: 1

    I just like saying it, it sounds so cool. Ion Thrusters....

  7. Re:Kudos on Anonymous Hacks Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although fundamentally I agree with you, WBC is so heinous, I really have no problem seeing anyone step on any of their freedoms. They really should all be locked up in a loony bin.

  8. Re:Can he show how to... on Nokia Engineer Shows How To Pirate Windows 8 Metro Apps, Bypass In-app Purchases · · Score: 1

    Sounds intriguing, Go on...

  9. Re:Can he show how to... on Nokia Engineer Shows How To Pirate Windows 8 Metro Apps, Bypass In-app Purchases · · Score: 1

    I actually like 7 over XP. I always dual boot Linux & Windows, currently Ubuntu & 7.

  10. Can he show how to... on Nokia Engineer Shows How To Pirate Windows 8 Metro Apps, Bypass In-app Purchases · · Score: 4, Funny

    Roll Windows 8 back to Windows 7?

  11. Re:Isn't Apple OS"whatever" at its core, Linux bas on Darling: Run Apple OS X Binaries On Linux · · Score: 1

    that means a... well, actually nothing coming from an AC.

  12. Isn't Apple OS"whatever" at its core, Linux based? on Darling: Run Apple OS X Binaries On Linux · · Score: 1

    I would think that would make it easy to run their apps/programs in Linux.

    But as someone else said, is there anything to run?

  13. Re:How about a direct link to the original article on Windows 8: a 'Christmas Gift For Someone You Hate' · · Score: 1

    If only, I have been using Linux (mostly Ubuntu) since 6.06, but I can't get the rest of my family to use it. My wife needs Microsoft Office for dealings with the school district that requires it (she is a teacher) and Girl scouts also require it (she is a troop leader). My son can't play a lot of his games on it. My daughter used it for a while, but got tired of fighting the occasional program that would only run in windows. Also, commonly school wants homework done with Microsoft Office, although they are starting to use Open Office more.

    Until (most) all the software companies embrace Linux, it will never be a real alternative.

  14. Re:Not sure but... on Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica · · Score: 2

    I think your getting your geek cult movies confused...

  15. Re:It's the Y Chromosome! on Research Suggests Apes and Humans Separated By a Single Gene · · Score: 1

    I am not sure how to label it, but primates lack the ability to build on achievements of previous generations. In a number of ways, they are as intelligent or more, than humans, but that is a real road block. If that gene covers that, it would make a lot of sense.

  16. So they found it! on Research Suggests Apes and Humans Separated By a Single Gene · · Score: 0

    The "God" gene...

    I think you watch to much NCIS.

  19. Re:Nothing like throwing down the gautlet on Israeli Infrastructure Proves Too Strong For Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I thought the same thing, is there another instance where they have "failed"? I would think it is just a matter of time. What effect does it have on their "brand" if they do fail?

  20. Obligatory... on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 2

    Mars rover finding

  21. Is there really any practical use for this... on Linux On the TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Other than to say, look what I did?

    Unless he can get there faster then the speed of light, he will loose there also...

  23. Thats got to be wrong... on Ask Slashdot: Data Storage Highway Robbery? · · Score: 2

    That has to be TB, even then, shoot, I'll store a couple TB for someone for 3 grand each.
