  1. Re:Workaround for you... on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 1

    I don't think "they really look like crap at lower resolutions." They are blurred a bit on some, but fully legible. The original post seemed to think that switching resolutions is impossible. not so.

    Obviously, you only know OF Gilligan's Island. The ultimate fate of the U.S.S. Minnow was revealed in Episode #8 "Good Bye Island" and yes, it was Gilligan's fault!

  3. Flaw in Research. on Proof Is In: Kansas Is Flatter Than A Pancake · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, it seems they used pancakes from International House of Pancakes. The so-called food from this so-called restaurant is severely inferior to any real pancake. Therefore, all of this intensive research should be thrown out and the researchers jailed for gross misconduct.

    "Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment ... like the body or the subject!)"

    Thank you, Mr. Automated Computer, but I do not need you to think for me. My comment is (was) long enough to fit just inside the subject line, but unfortunately, you have forced me to digress.

    See Crater Lake, Oregon.

  7. Re:Final Fontier on Getting Ready To Map The (Visible) Universe · · Score: 2, Informative

    Very good points. There are also many other galactic objects that block our view, like Bok Globules, and large nebulae like the Eagle Nebula.

  8. Re:Misleading article, etc. on Getting Ready To Map The (Visible) Universe · · Score: 1

    the AP news article repeatedly equates the radio telescope with a listening device

    That's because 'Cletus and his chilluns' don't understand that visible light (to humans) and radio waves are both composed of particles of electromagnetic energy.

    If you don't have Flash installed, you have a mental BALD spot.

    It circles the 7-11, getting faster and faster until it sends the 7-11 back in time (a la Superman) where you can then purchase the winning lottery ticket!

  11. Think Different on RIAA CEO Hilary Rosen to Become CNBC Commentator · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is going to signal a change in the way record companies think about file sharing?

    Apple did just that.

  20. Old News... on Martian 'Happy Face' Crater · · Score: 2, Informative

    This has been known about for quite some time! Astronomy Picture of the Day from more than 3 years ago featured this crater. Slashdot Science has been quite sucky lately!

  21. Why, Oh Why? on Salt From Plants · · Score: 0, Funny

    ...Do MUY ESTUPIDA stories like this one get posted, but truly fascinating stories, like the NEW SPECIES OF GIANT JELLYFISH and the NEW SPECIES OF TINY SEAHORSES get rejected?

    The coin WAS broken up on some occasions. The pieces were generally called 'bits'.

    Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar.

    Incidentally, the article presents one of the stupidest ideas I have heard in a long time. The /. editors have turned into FUCKTARDS and post CRAP while REJECTING GOOD STORIES.

  25. Re:Think about what this can do to companies.. on Internet Based Attacks in a Physical World · · Score: 1

    Congresspeople start getting cut off from their constituency.

    In Washington State, I just heard that legislators will start ignoring emails for constituents because there are just too many to read. I think this is awfully lame. I guess when there's too much snail-mail, they'll just ignore the constituents altogether! However, don't hesitate to try to contact your representative!
