  1. Re:IP on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    So screwing in a lightbulb will finally be patentable? Awesome!

  2. Re:"Rogers Center"s? on Tunnel Boring Machine Completes Hole Under Niagara Falls · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's no such thing as a "Rogers Centre." It's called SkyDome and will always be called SkyDome.

  3. Re:Ask the AA/ANWB or whatever fixes car on the ro on 'Pocket Airports' Would Link Neighborhoods By Air · · Score: 1

    Plus you gain a lot of that energy back when you descend.

  4. Re:Less roads could save land on 'Pocket Airports' Would Link Neighborhoods By Air · · Score: 1

    Is there a chance the track could bend?

  5. Re:I am sure the EPA will act swiftly on EPA Knowingly Allowed Pesticide That Kills Bees · · Score: 1

    We've been fighting a losing war against the insects for fifteen years, but I never thought I'd see the final face-off within my lifetime. And I never dreamed that it would turn out to be the bees. They've always been our friends!

  6. Re:He invented the Net then? on Morris Worm Turning 20 · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, he sponsored the bill to create the Internet when he was in Congress.

  7. Re:Only one thing left on How Vampire Bats Evolved To Live On Blood Alone · · Score: 1

    Deadly AND entertaining

    Isn't that a bit redundant?

  8. Re:Let's do some REAL science. on How Vampire Bats Evolved To Live On Blood Alone · · Score: 5, Funny

    That, and a steady supply of underage circus performers.

  9. Re:Games on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    It will play any game designed for it out of the box, just like Windows.

  10. Re:how is a pager ridiculous? on James Bond Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Do not try to enjoy the sequels, that's impossible. Instead, only try to know the truth.

  11. First game I ever modded on A Look At Successful Game Mods · · Score: 4, Interesting

    First game I ever modded was QBasic Gorillas. I found the variable that determined the blast radius of the bananas and increased it to ridiculous amounts, discovered that the game used colour-checking to do collision detection and gave the gorillas armoured helmets, found the palette entries and made the gorillas green, and composed my own song for the intro. That game was quite possibly the only good piece of software Microsoft ever produced.

  12. Pipe dream? on US's First Internet Votes To Be Cast This Friday · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you thought online voting in America was a distant pipe dream (nightmare?), think again

    So I guess now it's a tube dream.

    Or possibly a series of tube dreams.

  13. Re:yro? on For 3 Years, Scammers Ran Truckless Trucking Company · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yaks Receive Oscar

  14. Re:What about the other .3% ? on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    Rewrite it in Lisp, that way it'll work in emacs.

    Then re-write emacs in Javascript so that it'll work as a Firefox extension.

  15. Re:Good luck with that on EFF Sues To Overturn Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    With the rate that these cases tend to progress at, they probably just wanted to make sure they could get a ruling before Obama's term limits were up.

  16. Slashdot might not be the best place to ask on Do Software Versions Really Matter? · · Score: 5, Funny

    A lot of us are probably using Open Source software that's been released and relatively stable for years but is still only at version 0.2.07 or somesuch. We're not exactly representative of the general public.

  17. Re:One thing I've always wondered... on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 4, Informative

    According to Wikipedia, it's pronounced like the letter "e", but that's stupid so I just call it the Triple-E.

  18. Re:Welcome on Flash Cookies, a Little-Known Privacy Threat · · Score: 4, Funny

    In geological terms, we're all new here.

  19. Re:Earthling on Messenger Sends First Full Fly-By Image of Mercury · · Score: 1

    The Soviets conquered Mercury! So that's where they all went!

  20. Re:Interesting concept... on XKCD Improving the Internet ... Yet Again · · Score: 3, Funny

    And James T. Kirk. He only works in outer space.

  21. Don't hold your breath on Microsoft To Release Cloud-Oriented Windows OS · · Score: 5, Funny

    This sounds like vapourware to me.

  22. Re:If there is water... on Mars Lander Sees Falling Snow · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How I miss the days when it was the Vice President that was the complete moron.

  23. Re:Better name on Google Chrome Spinoff 'Iron' For Privacy Fanatics · · Score: 1

    How do we know they didn't invent the thing?

  24. Re:The reason why this is important on Naphthalene Found In Outer Space · · Score: 1

    Well, we'd also have to figure out how to get to said suitable planet, 'cause it sure ain't this one.

  25. I.T.A.N. on The Ninja Handbook · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's actually very easy to tell if someone's a ninja. Just ask yourself two questions: 1) Am I aware of the alleged ninja's presence in any way? and 2) Am I dead?

    From there the answer should be obvious.
