  1. Women unite on Size Does Matter... But Only in Women · · Score: 3, Funny

    I love being a woman. I am obviously smarter than most men out there. Using an X-ray, I was able to determine my brain size to be 5 inches in diameter. With the formula, Brainpower = (diameter * radius^4 ) / 43. My brainpower is 34.402192 inches^3.

  2. Well, on Carbon Releases in Asia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work on this type of stuff and I think it's to early to determine anything on the subject at the moment. I don't usually say this but it's true in this circumstance.

    We have government officials (Bush) that think they know everything, that's the dangerous thing

  3. PDA anyone? on Lightest of the Light Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I run a light version of linux on my Compaq Ipaq and I think it's great. I can't wait until it becomes good enough to go into pda's full scale and replace proprietary OS's like palm.

  4. Isn't this old news? on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Didn't they have this back in the 60's? correct me if I'm wrong, I was always told this.

  5. Interesting on Building A Community Wireless Network From Scratch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I was working on a similiar project this summer as well. We have a grant from the state and community support to follow through, if someone is really interested they could read up on the grant at the link above.

  6. Another Star Trek TNG post? on Proposed Next-Generation Space Station · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    .... well again, that was dissipointing

  7. I've heard ads for this on the radio on Satellite Radio in Fiscal Trouble · · Score: 0

    I've heard ads for this on the radio, and I've always wondered if it makes any money at all. It doesn't really make sense to me, but I guess some use it.

  8. Or on Postmodern Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's an artistic period?
    Remember Picasso and Braque? This is where they came from. The cubists are known for there radical use of multiple viewpoints in the same drawing, refer to the link for more information.

  9. Re:In case you missed it the first time around... on MMORPG Economies Explored in Depth · · Score: 2, Informative

    Of course, inflation exists too as noted by this recent article.

  10. Terrorism on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 0, Troll

    This just might be the work of a terroist group launching a cyber attack, maybe even china? I hope we don't see more of these

  11. Re:financial community on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 1

    That's a great generalization... but if I were a member of this "financial community" wouldn't I be a bit skeptical too?

  12. DON"T CLICK THAT LINK!!! on OpenSSH 3.5 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm sorry for all the caps in the title, but don't click that link! That's the worst thing I've ever seen.

  13. Re:Lets get the obvious out of the way on Questions for a Lecture on Microsoft's Palladium? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't everything run Linux? It'll have to at least run NetBSD

  14. Re:Slow Day on Unmaking The Game · · Score: 1

    Except EQ is what? 3+ years old? The economy must be extremely rich, I bet there's so much plat floating around that no money drain type thing could slow the flow down. By money drain I'm talking about horses and Tboots and stuff like that (I forgot the real name for these types of things)

  15. Re:But the author on Taking Aim At The Mod Squads · · Score: 1

    Duh, did you read the article? It wasn't talking about open toolsets, it was talking about puting Linux on the xbox. It even mentions the DMCA.

    What's that CounterStrike thing supposed to mean anyway?

  16. Re:Rather wrong headed, in spots on Taking Aim At The Mod Squads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I see what you're saying with that, but I'm going to have to disagree. The article is talking about weather it's good business for companies to let consumers mod their products. Microsoft clearly didn't think that was the case and thus the entire liksang thing. Of course, there isn't a clear cut line as far as this goes.

  17. +1 insightful on Apple Is Buyer of New 64-Bit IBM Chips · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Clock speed does not measure processor speed. These chips running at 1.8 ghz are faster than P4's running at twice that speed. IBMs Power4 has a huge die and processes tons more information per cycle than a P4. So, if clock speed did measure speed a 100 ghz chip that does 1 operation per second would be 10x fast than a 100 mhz 486!!! right?

  18. good this processor is excellent on Apple Is Buyer of New 64-Bit IBM Chips · · Score: 2, Insightful

    its used in the IBM z series servers and these servers can serve up like 100,000 pages per second its insane. this chip is only second to the dec alpha in FPU processing! macs running on these are going to be smokin``

  19. Re:And at a board meeting, a single tear is shed.. on Music Industry Pays $67M Fine For Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    And then people will miraculously stop pirating music and start buying stuff!

  20. Re:Coincidence on Armadillo Rocket Makes A (Short) Manned Hop · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even more with quad damage

  21. You start to think this on Abrupt Climatic Change Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    and then you turn on your local news and see that the weatherman can't even predict what's going to happen.

  22. Re:Theoretical limitations of modems on VNC, No Longer Orphaned · · Score: 1

    I believe something like 10mbps is attainable over standard phone lines. Modems are restricted by the FCC for bandwidth reasons.

  23. Ashcroft Strikes Again on Eldred vs. Ashcroft · · Score: 1

    I hope something like this can catch the attention of the general public. This stuff makes me mad.

  24. This should really be a great thing on Tattoo To Monitor Diabetes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    My father has diabetes and I don't want to get it myself, I hope with the new generation of genetic research we'll have more of these stories on slashdot.

  25. This brings up an interesting concept. on MIT Scientists Create Robotic Sea Life · · Score: 0

    I wander, if it's possible to completely immitate primitive sea life, can they make the machine able to reproduce itself and possibly evolve? I bring this up here because, I believe, according to evolution theory, there was sealife before landlife.... just something that I find interesting.
