  1. Re:Dear old N orwich on Sinclair And Clones Computer Show · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Let us hope that this is the one and only time that the sad town of Norwich is ever mentioned on such a prestigious a website as slashdot.

  2. ME TO! on Shatner Aims for Real 'Star Trek' · · Score: 1

    But I haven't got the money just yet...

  3. Re:This may explain... on Estrogen Linked to Research and Programming Skills · · Score: 1

    haha.

  4. Probably not a bad idea.... on EQ2 Voiced By Hollywood Actors · · Score: 1

    I mean EQ2 is just the same as EQ except it has prettier graphics. They obviously need *something* to get people to buy it.

  5. Friend on mine is working on this... on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting
    .. he says much of the inspirstion for the graphics is coming from rotten.com



    Unfortunately, his opinion of the movie so far is that it is going to be 'crap'.

  6. Re:The acceptable cost of disposal? on Amec Working on Long-Term Nuclear Waste Solution · · Score: 1
    I can't seem to figure out which planet you're from,

    http://www.hatters.org.uk

    Mad as a hatter?

  7. Re:Harder than Concrete? How about Solubility on Amec Working on Long-Term Nuclear Waste Solution · · Score: 1

    You forget that the increased diffusion associated with the slow dissolving of these materials, would in fact be a GOOD thing.

  8. If they weren't before.... on Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic? · · Score: 1

    Thats a very good idea. *begins coding*

  9. Re:JDS Back Office ? on The U.K.'s National Health Service Licenses JDS · · Score: 2, Informative
    Its misleading at best.

    Having applied for a job updating the patient care record system for the NHS, I can tell you that only in the London region (via Syntegra consulting) are they using Java in the back office for sure. The north of England's regions on the otherhand are most definately (via Accenture) transfering over to .NET.

  10. I did contract work on this... on Tempratech Self-Cooling Can · · Score: 1

    ... for one of the world's largest alcholic beverage producers. I believe I can 'out nerd' you by reporting that the sludge's expansion is merely due to volumetric increase of the CO2 coming out of solution when the bottle is opened and the pressure released.

  11. Re:This is actually a very good option on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1

    Good circular reasoning there. Yes if you DON'T put research into something then you will NEVER reap any potential rewards.

  12. Re:Don't think so on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    I agree. Rael meen poost to /. using WAP and pref^Hdef^H^Hictive text!

  13. Re:Not mass, magnetosphere on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons · · Score: 1

    And it's implicit that if Mars had more mass, it would have retained more core heat, which in turn means more magnetism. ... of course that leads to the question, how can an increase in entropy (ie Mars's core heat) lead to an increase in the number of aligned magnetic domains?

  14. Re:Shadowbane... on MMOG Subscription Winners, Losers Analyzed · · Score: 1

    I played almost a year of Shadowbane in both beta and release.

    Let me just say, that it was the most powerfully involving games I'll ever touch. On the face of it, yes it can be a blood bath to the new player. BUT the simple fact that you can build and seige towns in epic 100 vs 100 or more player battles really taught me the power of leadership, teamwork and communication.

  15. Re:Bullshit. on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I see they don't teach social networking and teamworking skills then at ox.ac these days.

  16. Re:Bullshit. on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I see jobs offered in the financial sector for your skills daily. Are you looking in the right place?

    Or are us Physicist programmers on a looser here?

  17. Viscous Drag? on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1
    No matter how strong the cable is, movement in the atmosphere (ie wind) will cause an extreme amount of drag on any such space elevator. Without a continuously replenished propulsion system at the top of the elevator, the tether will not stay taught and the satellite will fall to earth.

    How exactly do you supply the amount of fuel required to something like this at the rate required? Do we even have propulsion systems able to generate a fraction of the amount of thrust needed?

  18. Re:don't beam ME up. on Improvements in Teleportation · · Score: 1
    "Also, the technology doesn't replicate the photon, it is actually transported, ie the "original" photon is destroyed, no copies are made."

    Nope. The photons are produced in pairs in an entangled state violating the exclusion principle. When an observation is performed on one of the pair, the other manifests the same change in quantum state which is this supposed "SAAD". Nothing has to be destroyed, merely that a change in state of one effects the other. The photons still have to travel from one place to another to give the 'appearance' of teleportation, thats why they experiment with lower wave lengths and commercial grade fibre.

  19. Re:don't beam ME up. on Improvements in Teleportation · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone is actually considering teleporting anything at the moment. Ok, so will soon be able to send huge amounts of information instanteously using Quantum Entanglement. But first things first, its not like you can just click build/compile and w00t! you got a human built from raw code.

  20. ''For patent attorneys it was just crazy,'' on Biotech Genome Patents Invalidated? · · Score: 1
    Well if the companies involved have names like this:


    Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC


    What did they expect??

  21. Re:Remember on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    95%?

    How do they know how many media players they haven't infested if they have no way to catalogue them?

  22. YAY!! Its Shadowbane... on Myst MMOG Details Announced · · Score: 1

    ..without the fun bits.

  23. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA... on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe this would have been better: In Soviet Russia they Lord of YOUR Ring!

  24. In Soviet Russia... on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    American enterprise invents YOU.

  25. Alan Ralsky #3 on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    So where and when do we start signing him up for mailing lists?
