  1. Get rid of spinning disks already! on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great another spinning disk. I wish we could move away from things with motors - fans, spinning disks etc If it is cool holographics why not leave it stationary and move the laser

  2. Re:To identify... on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    well for fire marshals they want to know that everyone is out of the building, not who the people are. There is a difference. number of people != identity of people

  3. Re:Ho Hum on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    so how do we identify all of these corpses in car crashes?

  4. Re:My How We Forget So Quickly.. on NBC Aims For Stability Through Redundancy In Athens · · Score: 1

    The will use the same technology they used in Gladiator to put cheering crowds in the empty seats. Look out for the stadium to be full of romans.

  5. Re:Linux? on NZX Moves To Oracle On Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

  6. Planets or Patents? on Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets · · Score: 1

    "Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets"
    I first read the headline as
    "Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Patents"

  7. Watch out Mormans and JW's on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    I hope the Mormans and Jahovah Witnesses don't get hold of this... no more hiding and hoping they will go away.

    "Come out with your faith up!"

  8. hardware device only... on Microsoft Receives Patent For Double-Click · · Score: 1

    Phew! This is for a hardware device only.

  9. Re:what are they going to do.... on U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports · · Score: 1

    toungue prints are unique also...

  10. Old movie releases on Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The region coding argument (that it is to protect the movie studios that release movies at different times into different markets) doesn't hold up when an old movie is is released on DVD. Surely a movie from the 90's shouldn't have a region code, because the movie is not being shown in theaters.

  11. AU white-lists used to spam US ISPs on Spam Slows Australian Net Traffic · · Score: 1

    This story might provide some more info on why this is happening.

  12. Anti-terrorist phone on Nokia Investigating Reported Cell Phone Explosions · · Score: 1

    I think he must have accidentally been given the new Patriot Nokia cell phone, with new improved anti-terrorist capabilties as required under the Patriot Act. Features include 50 grams of C4 in battery, that can be detonated by CIA, FBI, IRA, IRS, DMV. Though it will also explode when user is involved in car accident, is shot or falls off cliff. *this is the forerunner to the same explosives placed inside the Star Trek consoles which explode whenever the Enterprise is shot at by aliens or the computer overloads.

  13. What about... on Torvalds the "5th Most-Powerful Man in Tech" · · Score: 1

    ...the guy who invented patents? Is he on the list?

  14. DNA... on Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    Don't we have the technology eg stem cells to grow his eye balls so he can watch it?

  15. Slashdot titles on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 1

    I see slashdot is using Brittany Spears themed titles.

    Perhaps we could have SCO's stories based on 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'

  16. Re:programmers think they know UI on User Interface Design for Programmers · · Score: 1

    Anyone else get flashbacks of a certain dilbert cartoon:

    Dilbert shows UI to Carol:
    Dilbert: "Hey look at this UI I designed"

    Carol gets sick visits docter:
    Docter: "I'm afraid you have user interface poisoning. You have 1 week to live"

  17. Re:Thank you Spamassassin on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 4, Funny

    I feel so lonely :'( Everytime an address book virus attacks, I am left out. Does this mean I don't have any friends? Sure you get 5000 emails... rub it in, Mr Popular :)
