  1. Butt what about... on How Google's High Speed Book Scanner De-Warps Pages · · Score: 2, Funny

    Imagine what this technology could do for coworkers who like to photocopy their butts!

  2. Re:English may once had grammar on Moon May Have Once Had Water · · Score: 1

    It might could of. It might could not of though too!

  3. Vaporized doesn't mean destroyed. on Moon May Have Once Had Water · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Scientists thought the heat from this impact had vaporised all the water.

    The atoms from the molecules still exist. Heck, the molecules probably still exist except for the few torn apart by very extreme heat and then used to oxidize other materials which probably would have been the loose Hydrogen. Almost all igneous rocks on Earth's surface, contain some water. They were formed at temperatures that "vaporize water".

  4. Not news then, not news now... on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    I reported nuclear warhead schematics on multiple websites including peta.org back into 2002 to the FBI, DoD, and DoE... no one cared. They cited freedom of information act. We also reported the unregulated sales of uranium on ebay to no response that year.

  5. It is simple... on Sliding Rocks Bemuse Scientists · · Score: 1

    The lake bed has a very gradual slope towards the areas where the lake is deepest when water is present. When the lake is dry the force of friction is too high for the rocks to move. When the lake is slippery with mud and water the wind helps the rocks fall towards the bottom of the bowl. Its a lake bed... it is bowl shaped. The combination of gravity, wind, flowing water, and reduce coefficients of friction allow the rocks to slowly fall.

  6. Finally! on Warner Music CEO Says War With Consumers Was Wrong · · Score: 1

    I bought every album I listen to. My friends bought every album they they listen too. We buy less music because there is less music we like available right now. We "hate" you waging war on us because you signed 1000 artists and rushed their CD production thinking a % would go big. New flash "If you build it they won't come". Your "Field of Dreams" growth plan was stupid. Slapping the hand that feeds you was stupid. People like music for the experience. You business practices interfered with peoples enjoyment of the product. OF COURSE THAT KILLED SALES! If MacDonalds punched every visitor in the face people would eventually stop craving french fries.

  7. I Blame Gene. on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1
    "Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes"

    I Blame Gene for the music industries woes. He is part of the machine that flooded the market with commercialized crap that has nothing to do with quality artwork. We hear your crying and whining Gene. But don't cry to us because you don't like the smell of your own farts.

  8. Bullshit! on One-Third of Employees Violate Company IT Policies · · Score: 1

    Bullshit! Way more than two thirds of companies don't have IT policies to violate!

  9. Great! on The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If that's the best tech we can't get in the US then I feel pretty good! That's some crappy junk I really don't want.

  10. What this really means... on Adobe Intends To Move All of Its Applications Online · · Score: 1

    They will have a local application that can be pirated, given away, distributed by bittorrents, etc... , but key functionality will be service model...

  11. Re:If you don't want anyone to view on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 2, Informative
    I choose to use my first ammendment right.

    To quote their internet publication:

    "Instead of telling you that you cannot use someone else's trademark in website tags or content, we can explain how you can use it legitimately. Instead of using a contract that might overstate your results, we can help you draft agreements that will minimize the ability of unreasonable clients to get their money back (unless you want to offer a money back guarantee). "

    I am inclined to think these lawyers are scumbags. Welcome to America asswipes!

  13. My observation... hardly scientific on Does Computer Use Actually Cause Carpal Tunnel? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All the geeks I know with CTS are also urban bicycle enthusiasts. My theory is that the amount of jarring impacts and the force of them over time contribute CTS. What is weird to me is that all the CTS people I know are fit. Exercize regularly. The chubby geeks drink their dew and type at 120 words per minute with seemly no apparent problems other than being on the fast track to diabetes.

  14. As Seen On TV! on The Sharpest Object Ever Made · · Score: 1

    It slices! It dices! Watch as it cuts through this ... oops lost a thumb!

  15. Ha! on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1
    "What has six limbs, a prehensile tail, its brain in its chest, and reproductive organs in its mouth? "

    Now that's kinky!

  16. My entry! on The 2006 Underhanded C Contest Begins · · Score: 4, Funny
    #include <stdio.h>

    main() {

    /* Rob a bank! */
    /* Steal Stuff! */
    printf("hello, world\n");
    /* Use Drugs! */
    /* Kill, Kill, Kill! */
    }

  17. What a load of crap! on Google Accused of Bio-piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are billions of years of prior art. And the argument that know one would research them otherwise is crap to... First to market in the drug world is the driving force. Even if... does that mean people can patent translated segments of ancient languages if they read them first? These people should cram grapes in their noses!

  18. Hopefully... on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

    Hopefully he banned his kids from slashdot too! Holy crap! He is taking it in the pants on this one!

  19. Re:This is silly on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 1
    Alternating magnetic fields aren't generally considered ionizing radiation either,

    good point, but they aren't claiming to test magnetism... they specifically cite radiation and in all my years of physics never once has some referred to magnetism as radiation. I stand my my challenge... Show me one cause of anything potentially cause by a modern cell phone signal. There are billions of consumer test hours on these things... There is a complete lack of injuries and maladies.

    That's all I'm saying.

  20. This is silly on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's non-ionizing radiation.... people have been putting these things by their heads for hours on a daily basis... show me one potential case of burn via cell signal.

  21. Nitro Burning Funny Lander on Draft Rules for X Prize Lunar Lander Challenge · · Score: 1
    competitors will be challenged to build a vehicle capable of launching vertically, travel a distance of 328 to 656 feet (100 to 200 meters) horizontally, and then land at a designated site. A return trip would then occur between 5 minutes and 30 minutes later...

    Mine is going to have a spoiler and spinner hub caps too! And wicked flames!

  22. Probably wasteful on Google, Microsoft, Sun to Fund New Internet Lab · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Throwing money at inventors to make them innovate faster is similar to throwing money at monkeys to make them evolve faster. The process of invention is very organic... inventions, products, and business ideas respond well to having money thrown at them...usually, but actual discovery does best with long term support and development... not rapid cash with little supervision.

  23. A more grand Myth? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1
    I think the show is great! Have you heard the myth of the "Radio Active Boy Scout"? Is this myth outside the scope of what you can take on?
