  1. Re:Visits to these Underground Stations on Ghost Stations of the London Underground · · Score: 1

    You want me to click a .cx link? On Slashdot? You must be joking.

  2. Re:background music on New Lord of the Rings Trailer · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's called "Requiem of the Rings," and it's a mixture of Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream and some LOTR sounds. The maker is Ajax Projection and they used to have it up for download. It then moved to War of the Ring but now it's gone from there too. But I'm sure you know where else to look.

  3. Hindquarters on Genetically Engineering Sheep for Larger, Stronger Hindquarters · · Score: 1

    This is silly, I've known for years that some sheep have bigger rectums than others.

  4. Re:Y'all are PARANOID. on Intel to Build DRM into Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 1
    Pirated stuff is always going to be DRM-free.
    But will your Digital Restriction Managed "computer" allow you to run your DRM-free MP3s? Nope.

    Also, if you're going to be defeating Palladium, that's 5 years behind bars. I hope you enjoy giving head to men.

  5. Re:Backup Solution. on 320GB Hard Drives announced · · Score: 1
    Mirror them, and there you have it, Redundant 320GIG's of backup space.
    I don't consider anything that's inside or in any way attached to my computer (think powersurge) as fit for backup. What you need is a HD rack and two of these 320s: one in your machine and one that you store somewhere else and only insert when you want to synchronize.

    Of course I'm then talking about backing up large data that generally goes unchanged, like source material for your video or audio projects.

  6. Re:Heh... on The Two Towers Hits the Net · · Score: 1
    I read the Return of the King first (not knowing any better), then the Hobbit and then most of FOTR. I really didn't like RotK but when I found out it was the last in the series, I decided it was my bad and I should read the others.
    So you didn't find it the least bit suspicious that the subtitle was "Being the third part of The Lord of the Rings", that there was a synopsis of the first and second parts and that the page before chapter 1 said "Book V" ? :)
  7. Re:oh, virtual harlem... on Virtual 1930s Harlem · · Score: 1

    Me too. Makes sense if you think about it. If I were to create a virtual world, you can be damn sure at least large part of it would be a harem. Minus the eunich though, I couldn't trust those guys, testicles or no.

  8. Re:not fair use on MIT Steals Comic Book Character · · Score: 1
    Honestly, whether it damages the comic book's ability to be 'escapist fantasy' or not is moot. It looks an awful lot like Horizon's work.
    Maybe I'm just lacking in the imagination department, but at first I thought "Well, there are only so many ways you can draw a woman in a bodysuit." Those kneepads though are a clear giveaway, that couldn't be a coincidence. You'd think they'd at least change such details.
  9. Re:Cheater on Self-Organizing Circuit Reinvents Radio · · Score: 1
    it's kinda amusing that instead of creating an ocillator, it "cheated", and grabbed signals from another computer. i wonder how the game theorists would explain that?
    #include <microsoft.h> ?
  10. Census this on Australia Oppresses Jedi · · Score: 1

    Why can't they take a hint and realize people really don't want to answer their invasive questions? It's just people's way of expressing their disapproval of the census.

  11. Re:should this be published? on Ape-Human DNA Split · · Score: 2, Funny
    You're probably correct that the next step will be trying to activate this gene in apes. [...] This is an ethical issue of biblical proportion.
    "God, shmod, I want my monkey man!"
  12. In the management's defence on Sigma Designs/XVid Update · · Score: 1
    ROFL, so this guy cuts and pastes a years worth of work, then goes on a year's vacation and your managers are STILL clueless?
    In all honesty, what does management really know about the time it takes to code anything? I wouldn't be surprised if they really didn't have a clue.

    Would that this lone programmer had taken the users into account! Everyone who's ever owned a Sigma product knows it takes them years to get stable software out. Whoops. :)

  13. I've always wondered on Speech For The Deaf · · Score: 1
    Do they have sign language for dirty words?

    Is it anything like I imagine?

  14. Re:already inaccessible on Going Back To The Past of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're "going back" in every way, including hosting their website on a 286 with a 300 baud modem. :)

  15. Gone are the days... on Going Back To The Past of the Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... when those "I'm Heidi, want to make mad love to me and my college friends?" messages still had a one in a million chance of being real. Where does the time go?

  16. And with reason, this time! on E-voting Trials and Tribulations · · Score: 1
    Definitely not nearly as difficult as what they must have pulled last election. It wouldn't take long to run this query. :)

    UPDATE election SET vote = 'Bush' WHERE vote = 'Gore'

  17. We have this system over here on E-voting Trials and Tribulations · · Score: 1
    Let me tell you, you are never going to get anyone over 60 to use this. I must have told my grandmother a hundred times "just push the pen against the party you want to vote for" and each time her eyes just sorta glazed over. "Oh, I'm too old for this." "No, just pu-" "Oh, I'm too old for this." "Listen, it's sim-" "Oh, I'm too old for this." "but if you-" "Oh, I'm too old for this."

    No matter how many times you talk them through the ridiculously simple process, the elderly are just going to do what my grandmother did: walk in, close curtain, open curtain, walk out. And if they're forced to vote on someone, they'll just rub the screen until their card automagically pops out or someone assumes they've had a heart attack and the paramedics rush in.

    Oh wait, this isn't the pro-euthanasia article. Sorry.

  18. Re:The Rise of Evolution Fraud on Evolution - Beyond the Popular Science · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Creationists seem to think that evolutionists in some way hold to Darwin. They do not. They care about the theory itself, not about the bearded fellow who came up with it. Don't think of Darwin as our Jebus.

  19. Incredible properties on More on Space Elevators · · Score: 1
    Additional research has shown that carbon nanotubes posses incredible properties. One of those attributes is having a tensile strength 100 times stronger than steel at one-fifth the weight.
    That's something. Still, if it were to break, that's a long way down. You'd probably need to reserve a several mile radius in case something were to come down.
  20. Re:Other cx sites. on The Sex.Com Story Continues · · Score: 1
    You know, I hope someone steals the domain for goatse.cx so it points somewhere far more harmless.
    If you don't look at The Receiver you'll never get desensitized.
