  1. This has been done years ago on New Technology Turns Windows Into Solar Panels · · Score: 2

    A quick Google search turns up results from at least as far back as 2007 and one article (apparently offline) from 2004.

    I guess the new product will be more efficient, but this is definitely nothing new.

  2. Re:At the Risk of Sounding Like an Apologist on Poor Design Choices In the Star Wars Universe · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cool idea, I'd mod interesting!

  3. Re:You are standing in a dimly lit room on Judge May Take "Fair Use" Away From Jury · · Score: 1

    Awesome. The Argrue part alone is +5 Funny :) Thanks!

  4. Re:I know something about QC on First Electronic Quantum Processor Created · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this concise explanation.

  5. Re:I'm ready... on Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form · · Score: 1

    Dan of Dan's Data recently posted an interesting essay on this topic.

  6. Re:computer evolution experiments on Eight-Armed Animal Preceded Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    Fascinating stuff. Of course, it depends on the initial setup and evolutionary possibilities defined in the software, but seeing those "sea snakes" having evolved out of a mess of apparently randomly arranged pieces is pretty awesome.

  7. Re:Play, Use or Experience your computing hardware on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    In my view, you can choose one:

    If you want to use your computer/hardware, use Microsoft Windows.

    If you want to tinker with your computer/hardware, use Linux.

    If you want to enjoy your computer/hardware, use Apple OS X.

  8. "V8" is so 90s on Revamped WebKit JavaScript Engine Doubles In Speed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Between TraceMonkey and SquirrelFish, "V8" seems so... weird. They better give it s regular, modern name like ThreadMole or SkunkAmoeba.

  9. Recent "loudness war" discussion on /. on Metallica Guitar Hero Release Has Higher Quality Than CDs · · Score: 5, Informative

    FYI, the "loudness war" topic has been discussed on Slashdot lots of times, most recently here: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/23/1219205

  10. Re:I'd be pissed. on Stanford To Offer Free CS and Robotics Courses · · Score: 1

    Awesome :)

  11. Re:Well on Designing Difficulty Options In Games · · Score: 1

    Mod parent insightful, that's a pretty exhaustive reply.

  12. Re:For once ... on Twilight of the GPU — an Interview With Tim Sweeney · · Score: 1

    Interesting read, thanks.

  13. This gives a whole new meaning to the Genesis song on Shadow Analysis Could Spot Terrorists · · Score: 1

    I can't dance
    I can't talk
    The only thing about me is the way I walk...

  14. Re:heh on "Google Satellite" To Be Launched This Week · · Score: 1

    Or conspiracy!

  15. Re:Map accuracy on "Google Satellite" To Be Launched This Week · · Score: 1

    Looks reasonably round and not out of place to me. Care to elaborate?

  16. Re:It wont even install for me on Reading Google Chrome's Fine Print · · Score: 5, Informative

    Exactly. The GoogleUpdater was still running after I uninstalled. Don't be evil, my ass...

  17. Re:What is rare? on New Study Shows Solar System Is Uncommon · · Score: 1

    BC = Burning Crusade, the first World of Warcraft expansion.

  18. Re:Portal on Examining Portal's Teleportation Code · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, this seems to be the important distinction making Portal's technology "next gen". TFA actually fails to recognize this.

  19. Re:Queue the jokes, and something serious... on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's just 24 working days (minimum) in Germany.

  20. Implementation on FBI Wiretapping Audit Secrets Uncovered Via Ctrl+C · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Redacted" was apparently implemented by covering the area with a white rectangle. Since the PDF has real text/vector graphics (as opposed to a bitmap), the information is still present in the file and even the standard Acrobat viewer can access it. Someone "Failed at Behaving Intelligently"

  21. Good one... on AT&T Invents Surveillance Programming Language · · Score: 1

    SQL jokes FTW!

  22. Re:Which IPs in particular? on Ballmer Suggests Linux Distros Will Soon Have to Pay Up · · Score: 1

    Office 2007 has interfeces? I knew it!

  23. Shouldn't that be... on MIT Launching Kerberos Consortium · · Score: 1

    The Kerberos Konsortium?

  24. Security Top Concern for IETF chair? on Security Top Concern for New IETF Chair · · Score: 3, Funny

    Where can I get one of these secure chairs?

  25. The Country on Big Ten Schools Recommit to Google Books Project · · Score: 1

    ...twelve major universities around the country have agreed...

    Around what country? Oh, THAT country...
