  1. Re:6 Americans, 1 Israeli AND 1 Indian on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    There were 7 people total. She was counted among the Americans because she had become a US citizen, which was apparently not true of the Israeli.

  2. It's obvious how this will end... on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    Music, movies, microcode, and high-speed pizza delivery.

  3. Redundant FPS jokes on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    We're just waiting for medkits that work the moment you step on them.

    And medkits that can "scale" from healing a minor bruise with one of them to healing multiple gunshot wounds if you have 6 or 7.

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of medkits?

  4. Re:RDRAM vs. DDR on Rambus Wins Case Against Infineon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Too bad RAMBUS doesn't share your faith in their own technology. They didn't care which RAM was better, their plan was to hit DDR suppliers with ever-increasing licensing fees, forcing them to raise prices until RDRAM was cheaper than DDR, and take over the market that way.

  5. Re:It's Because Technical Programs Have _Answers_ on Grade Inflation in Higher Education · · Score: 1

    There's also "error propagation", which means that if you made a mistake in step 1 and used the result to get the wrong answer for steps 2-5, you will still get credit for using the formulas correctly on the bad number in 2-5.

  6. itunes 4 on iCommune Retools Itself as Standalone Open Source App · · Score: 1

    A lot of people have pointed out that Apple is about to release their own P2P program. This will not be exactly the same as iCommune. The plugin allows you to copy music over the network; the rendezvous-enabled iTunes will only stream it.

  7. Re:Evolution and Core Dump on Interview with Jaron Lanier on "Phenotropic" Development · · Score: 1

    However, if you put the door six inches to the left of where it's FRAME is...

    Also, see my sig :P

  8. Deja vu... on Cloned Cat Not a 'Carbon Copy' · · Score: 1

    "How much like it? Was it the same cat?"

    "It might have been."

    "Deja vu is a glitch in the Matrix..."

  9. Re:Automation is the key on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1
    It's the work of 2 minutes to swap plates with a similar-appearing car in some parking lot...
    Isn't this illegal?
  10. Not exactly a repeat but OLD on Multimedia Windowpanes · · Score: 1

    I've been seeing stories about this technology since the early 90s, in Popular Science and similar. It hasn't taken off yet.

  11. Re:Phobic on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    You realize that if someone gets struck and seriously injured by a segway, it will be dead across the entire country?

  12. More importantly on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 1

    Who do we put in our "FREE ______________" sigs now?

  13. Re:Good Old Video Card on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1
    I wonder if we're ever going to get to a point where "this is the hardware. You have 10 years to do something cool with it"
    We're already there.
  14. Re:What ever happened to free speech? on Web Site Sues Annoying Pest Troll · · Score: 1

    That was the problem. They did ban him, from the web servers they owned and operated, and he kept getting in. Businesses still have the right to refuse service.

    I'm not saying the lawsuit is the best solution, but the right to troll is, as they say, essentially identical to the right to yell fire in a crowded theater, and the latter has been explicitly named as *not* protected speech. And there is NO constitutional right to use a message board against the wishes of its owner.

  15. Re:Deathmarch on Apple Reports Q1 Loss · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll wait and see, the G5 *might* be out by then.

  16. Re:Didn't Stebe Demo this? on iCommune for iTunes Shares Over Network · · Score: 2

    Steve demoed an internal Apple version of iTunes that has this built-in. However, Apple's version will not copy, it can only stream.

  17. Missing the point on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of course making calculators and light bulbs with this device is stupid and unprofitable. The real power of this device will be to allow designs and products that cannot be manufactured by any other means. Eliminate the parts of the product that are only used to hold the pieces together. Eliminate complexities and potential sources of problem from manufacturing components seperately or by seperate processes. Consider a cell phone made by this method... It would be a single chunk of plastic. Completely customizable color and shape and button layout. Waterproof, impossible to tamper with and nearly indestructible (the circuits are embedded in the plastic and the buttons are just flexible or touch-sensitive areas of the sealed shell).

  18. Re:Yeah, we need this for lightbulbs... on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm pretty sure current 3D printing methods take place in a vacuum anyway. And light bulbs don't contain vacuum, but rather inert gases designed to retard the disintegration of the filament.

  19. Re:Where the sun don't shine on Where are the 70% Efficient Solar Cells? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You may wish to rectify that statement.

  20. Re:posting this from safari on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 2

    You haven't listed anything I can't do by command-clicking in Safari (open link in new window). Or command-shift-click to open a new window BEHIND the current window (discovered that just this moment while trying to come up with an argument for this post :P ).

  21. Hmm on 160,000 Join Massachusetts Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 2

    How many of the numbers do you think are actually in Massechusettes?

  22. Re:But you could make your case to Ad Agencies on DMCA Loophole For Peer-to-Peer TV Show Sharing? · · Score: 2

    No, because those internet swappers will not see the ads the ad agency buys.

  23. Re:We should scan Dubya on Laser-Scanning U.S. Landmarks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Too late.

  24. Re:Segway modding! on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 2
    • Big-ass spoiler.
  25. Re:Slashdotted on Number of Jobs by Programming Language · · Score: 2

    All C++ coders are C coders. C++ is a superset of C.
