    I'm sure that at the very least it will be virtually free...

    Will have a tweeter?

  3. Re:What Kind of Passwords Does It Prefer? on Samba 4 Technology Preview Released · · Score: 1

    ROFL!!! That, people, is what my comment should have been!

  5. What Kind of Passwords Does It Prefer? on Samba 4 Technology Preview Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Smooth or Crunchy?

  6. Re:Ummmm... on Google Launches Mobile Mail · · Score: 1

    I had the same problem with Opera on my mobile phone. So I tried the built-in browser on my SprintPCS Samsung phone and the page still wouldn't load. Yet the non-mobile gmail loads fine.

  7. With the Threat of EMP- on The New Air Force Mission? · · Score: 1

    With the Threat of EMP using relatively low tech delivery methods well documented:

    the Air Force is compelled to understand and defend CyberSpace wherever US interests are affected. - T

  8. Re:One step forward, one step... sideways? on Barenaked USB Drive · · Score: 1

    This is the way I'd like to buy music, especially if it's not DRM'd. I like to use all my online time here at slashdot, not figuring out how to download Itunes that won't copy. It's basically a buck a track with a dollar for the transport. That's a deal to me if I like all the tunes.

  9. Re:Tesla's Power Grid on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Now we're really off-topic, but you could tune the oscillations to a resonant frequency to form standing waves along the Earth's current flux-lines.

  10. Re:Tesla's Power Grid on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    I was just ranting, you are correct, but the headline might read:

    'Mythbusters Save Earth!'

    - I'll do anything to get my question picked!

  11. Re:Tesla's Power Grid on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    No, I think building a 180 foot tower with a Tesla coil on top is easily within range of our heroes' capabilities.

  12. Re:Tesla's Power Grid on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Well that sure sounds like something to test!!! Also, could something like the theorized electromagnetic field be used to augment the Earth's own weakening magnetic field in order to better deflect solar radiation which causes damage to us and theoretically swept the atmosphere away from Mars when it's own magnetic field died due to the death of Mars' geologically active core?

  13. Please Blow More Things Up!!! on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Please Blow More Things Up!!! There just aren't enough real explosions versus simulated ones on TV these days!

  14. Re:Tin Foil Hats? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Mit did a study this year on this: http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/ Turns out the bad guys have found ways to use the hats against us.

  15. Tesla's Power Grid on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Dear Bustahs: Did Mr. Tesla really have a way to send vast to unlimited amounts of electric or other energies through the earth with neglible loss? - gurutc

  16. Re:What a waste on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    to fight diseases... Thank you for the good info on other foundations! Now about Windows, I have to say that it is the single most influential IT product from one vendor to provide the highest number of the service incidents that support my family through my IT consulting. Thank you, Mr. Gates!

  17. Re:What a waste on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    It's not a gross exaggeration at all. He's given Billions, capital B here, to fight third world diseases. His foundation gives more to agencies and efforts to fight malaria, polio and many other diseases than any country including the US. I am not going to question your sources, but here's one you might want to check out also: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/GlobalHealth/

  18. Re:What a waste on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    A colossal monument to greed? I have to point out that Bill and Melinda Gates have given more money, adjusted for inflation, than all other people who have ever ever lived, combined, for the entire history of humanity, to fight terrible and devastating diseases in underdeveloped and impoverished countries. Bill Gates may have really stuck it to some folks, but that was just business. How many dot-com millionaires/billionaires who promised to give tons to charity did before their bubbles burst? Not trolling here folks, just pointing out what never gets mentioned when Micro$oft is getting bashed. - Travis

  19. Well I'm Glad on China Sets New Rules On Internet News · · Score: -1

    China is following in the footsteps of the US and its Homeland Security Act on the road to Democracy. I heard John Ashcroft is available, maybe he can lend them a hand so they do it right.

  20. Re:Moderation on Coffee A Health Drink? · · Score: 1

  21. Yes But... on No More Apple Mysteries Part Two · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They didn't have performance results for which platform ran Solitaire better.

  22. Re:RIAA-RICO on Sony Agrees to Stop Payola · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that 'Pay'ola is not primarily profit-driven?

  23. RIAA-RICO on Sony Agrees to Stop Payola · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act... If the recording industry and the radio industry knowingly collude to perpetuate payola, how is it not covered by this act which has some real teeth?

  24. Now if this'd work with my Sprint CDMA Phone on Dialup Redeemed: The WiFlyer Modem+Hotspot · · Score: 1

    I'd be impressed.

  25. The Original Apple Airport Access Point on Dialup Redeemed: The WiFlyer Modem+Hotspot · · Score: 1
