  1. Re:JPEG is not a lossy format on Universal 3D File Format In The Works · · Score: 1

    The name JPEG 2000 probably comes from the fact that there are about 2000 possible encoding ways/options.. :( Hard to support all that + patents etc...

  2. Re:Lossy on Universal 3D File Format In The Works · · Score: 1

    No, better alternatives to compare to would be PNG and FLAC! (BMP only has, what, only optionally patented lzh and wav no packing?)

  3. Re:Not a physics major on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 1

    Well, given a little accident with fire and his hydrogen powered house really _could_ disappear into the atmosphere. So maybe he is right..

  4. Re:It's not that surprising . . . on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 1

    The post was sarcastic, though somewhat subtly..

  5. Re:One question on KDE 3.2: A User's Perspective · · Score: 1

    Well, you know.. there are no stupid lawsuits, only stupid people who file them.

  6. Re:Dear Slashdot on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 1

    You could fix some wires to your hand and attach those to a generator.. then rubbing ballons against your hair would generate electricity! (Note: you could even substitute balloon rubbing with something more fun-rubbing..)
    *Erhmm.. it's late..*

  7. Re:Virus?? on Gator Files for IPO to Raise $150 Million · · Score: 1

    IMHO it *sadly* doesn't qualify as a virus because it is included in software with the express knowledge/agreement of the author. Also it doesn't "spread" or destroy anything..

  8. Re:"without cracking" on Sake Used to Make Wooden Speakers · · Score: 5, Funny
    Wow, 20 years is a long time to work on a problem without cracking. Congratulations, Toshikatsu.
    Well.. He did turn to booze.
  9. Re:I guess... on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 1

    I think they did this because they know that someone is about to get a patent for the wheel in the States.. Now they have an alternative solution for all those that can't pay licenses.

  10. Eating... on How To Catch A Scammer/Spammer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm.. I kind of understand the attempt to eat cops (though you could have better diet), but how do you eat a 10 minute struggle? Is that something bad tasting that doesn't stay down or is it those police men that make it thight fit for your stomach? Well.. should subdue anyone..

  11. Re:Obvious... on Loud Metallic Noise Heard at ISS · · Score: 1

    No. The ISS _is_ the alien. Well, technically their camouflaged space ship.. Bah.. Going too freakish here. *Note: I just watched Returner. Nice movie for a action/scifi buff..*

  12. Re:Oy on Automobiles Evolve to Live Up to Their Name · · Score: 1

    Not quite here.. but I do say it was very oddly short! C'mon I didn't get my "informative fix" without needing to read the article! *I feel cheated here..*

  13. Frame dragging? on NASA Gravity Probe Set for Launch · · Score: 1

    So that frame dragging I see while playing, say UT2k3, with a LCD screen is caused by the Earth rotating? I can prove it exists..

  14. Re:Drivetrain on Real 'Akira' Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    None of those files on http://www.whileyouwereout.net/online/ work (404)..

  15. Re:Put that girl from Chernobyl on that bike... on Real 'Akira' Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    Lust or ... radiation? (..ok ok she probably doens't glow in the dark or doesn't radiate her-self, but it'd be a crime to radiate the bike.. =) ) PS. I have the movie poster of the re-release with the bike and Kaneda hanging behind my monitor..

  16. Re:Of all the interesting moons in this solar syst on Titanic Saturn · · Score: 1

    C'mon, I'm sure there are one or two texans who would be game!

  17. Re:My first thought from reading the headline: Huh on PC In An XP Box · · Score: 1

    Sure but not all are American.. So that conversion to deg C is a bit hard one if you don't remember it.

  18. Re:Cooler than my firebird.. on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 1

    The GPS accuracy is enough to hit a window. Just fly fast enough! Woila, a new window..

  19. Re:You've got it all wrong on Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Record to mp3!?! Flac minimum.. This kidnapping thing also would have the benefit that you'd get better quality than the original cd.. Since, they nowadays disregard the dynamic range of cds and compress and process to make every song as near as -0 dB as possible :(

  20. Re:Screw it on Astronauts, Robots to Save Hubble · · Score: 1

    Could a barrel of monkeys do it? They seem to have the ability to write already, though they seem to repeat somewhat..

  21. Re:Flash on U.S. Prepares to Get Nuked · · Score: 1

    Isn't this Mozilla the result of radiation in the first place? *You nuked Japan and so on..*

  22. Re:Different Market on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    Heh.. I'd say that is some portable hd setup with a sticker and four odd looking "buttons" (candy?)..

  23. Re:Combat robots on The ROBOlympic Games · · Score: 1

    You spelled distraction wrong.. *;)*

  24. Re:Here's an idea... on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 1

    Hasn't that happened already? Though, instead of martians the stories seem to recall them as "corporations"..

  25. Re:Metastory reports: on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 1

    Well, then this computer ought to be quite clean...
