  1. Re:What would happen to the birds? on Google Invests In World's Largest Solar Power Tower Plant · · Score: 1

    I think they might get angry. Google should be afraid, very afraid.

  2. Re:safety? on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    Do no look into the second page with remaining eye.

  3. Re:Well not sure if this is the right approach but on Preventing Networked Gizmo Use During Exams? · · Score: 1

    You can make WiFi unusable, however.

    Yup. Tinfoil, lots of tinfoil.

  4. Re:Because they can on Nokia Siemens Sued For Providing Monitoring Equipment To Iran · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Especially as NSN is a Finnish company (HQ in Espoo, Finland)! Petty details aside, I believe the capability to monitor GSM networks is mandated by US and EU..maybe this guy should just sue Obama!

  5. Re:Sounds like people need to fix thier names on Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names · · Score: 1

    The Whooooosh sound that just went over your head wasn't silent. Although some call it The Whoooosh with a silent 'o' in the middle..luckily Slashdot accommodates both!

    Ooh ooh, I want the Dr. House edition!

    No, it's Lupus.

  8. Or perhaps.. on Apple Surpasses Microsoft In Market Capitalization · · Score: 1

    Just perhaps..Apple's stock price is overvalued? I mean (and this may come as a surprise to some) it has happened before that the stock price was not an absolute measure of a company's future income and dividends!

  9. Re:Just cos he does it - doesnt make it right on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    Leave their PC? No good Sir, the point was to find a PC !

  10. Don't stick to a single option only on Good, Portable "Virtual" Linux Distro? · · Score: 1

    My advice is to let the students decide what they want. Find a few for them to select from, give a short intro to each and show some screenshots and make the students select one. This way you'll get experience on which one is the best for the next course and make the students part of the course design. If they've had the chance to select their flavour, they'll be more likely to like it! And if you can find a few good, working solutions that cater to specific needs (like ease of use, security, nerd flavour, etc.), the better for everyone!

  11. "A flaw in Slashdot submission system.." on Flaw In Emergency Response System May Have Killed Hundreds · · Score: 2, Funny

  12. Re:Woah on Opera Sees "Dramatic" Rise From Microsoft's Ballot · · Score: 1

    Hence the "Dramatic" in the headline!

  13. "In Israel.." on In Israel, Potential Organ Donors Could Jump the Queue · · Score: 1

    What? Not a single "In Soviet Russia.." joke so far?
    No respect for traditions these days..

    In Soviet Russia, The Queue jumps potiental organ donors!

  14. Re:Move where? on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 1

    How about a nice warm country like Thailand? I was just there and happened to hurt my foot on some sharp rocks on the beach. Went to the local health clinic (not a hospital, just a couple of nurses there) and was treated within 10mins. The only cost was the price of the bandages needed, which amounted to about 2€. Went there everyday to have the cut disinfected and I was always greeted with a smile. On the last day left some more money in the donation box.

    Specialized health care will of course be a lot more expensive but should still be a whole lot cheaper than in US or ye olde socialist Europe, but just as effective. And not to mention that the friendliness of the staff is on a completely different level.

  15. Re:Test Every Time on Radiation Therapy Mistakes Cost Lives · · Score: 1

    Technology you are referring to is known as Portal Dosimetry. In many hospitals it is required for all IMRT treatments. The simple fact however is that it takes time and as there are more patients to be treated than machines available, you won't be able to verify it for each session the patient comes in to (a typical session would be from 15 to 30 mins).

  16. Re:My say on this on Not Enough Women In Computing, Or Too Many Men? · · Score: 1

    I bought a sailboat last summer and we handled the money transfer by simply walking into a bank and asking the nice lady there to transfer the sum from my account to the seller's account!

  21. Re:Tuna sushi on Is That Sushi Hazardous To Your Health? · · Score: 1

    I've always preferred salmon to tuna on my sushi and sashimi plates. And not just because tuna is so heavily overfished. The taste of good quality salmon meat is so, so good!

  23. Re:I'm surprised that this technology is available on Engineered Bacteria Glows To Reveal Land Mines · · Score: 1

    Newsflash, there are other things keeping the North Korea from entering into open war than just a field of mines. I mean, the North Koreans may even possess technology to go around mine fields!! Heck they could just send out all their prisoners and clear the mines with them!

    To propose that North Korea would launch an attack if there was no mine field is ridiculous.

    Or..you could give the high-explosives treatment like in Mythbusters!

  25. Re:Windows 7 now has a math input panel on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: 1

    That's actually pretty cool, I didn't know that.

    As I'm running Win7 at work so I just had to give this a go. With my mousing skills it takes quite a while to get the equation right. I would imagine it's very difficult to use that on a netbook. A factor slower than pen and paper anyway. For transferring your math from paper to computer I can see good use for this, though.
