  1. Re:Time to invest in tulip bulbs... on Value of Bitcoin "Crashes" · · Score: 2
  2. Re:Next up: tiered pricing on Starz To Pull Content From Netflix · · Score: 1

    Dude, don't be knocking FoodTV... Alton Brown has a lot of fans on Slashdot...

  3. Re:Huh, wut? WTF it's raining anyway.... on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    I've heard of standard modal containers outfitted with plastic insets - sounds reasonable as the infrastructure to move them is well developed - but I've yet to see one.

    They are called Flexitanks and they most certainly exist. My company makes them: http://www.eptpac.com/

  4. Re:The Poor Guy! on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't help but think about my Roomba's "cliff sensors" to keep it from falling down the stairs - tough to incorporate into a transportation device I guess, especially an off-road one but still...

  5. Re:Not dinosaurs on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 5, Funny

    A funny post to be sure, but from accounts ~400 years ago we already know it tastes rather fowl.

  6. Many Memories - but one stands out... on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    I can remember Oregon trail on monochrome screens in elementary school, and I can remember a bass fishing game on my uncle's 386. However, the most vivid early gaming memory was EASILY playing Civilization when I was 9 and it had just come out. I was thrilled when I "figured out" to to fortify units in a city and then get them back out again, when I survived long enough to research the steam engine for the first time only to watch my brand new ironclad die attacking a trireme, or just looking at the Hanging Gardens from the city view and thinking about how amazing the graphics were...

    And here I am now, having recently become re-addicted (CivIV:BTS), thinking about the attack I will launch on the Inca after I get home from work...

  7. Read Francis G Rayer's on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    The Star Seekers... My 4th grade teacher read it to us as a class and I remember it clearly to this day. It's about the exact same space ark concept...

  8. Perfect! on Pirate Bay to Purchase Sealand? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this whole story is like straight out of a movie (or crummy novel)...

  9. Re:Not good..... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    You're obviously not a member of the NRA... /rimshot

  10. Re:not /.ed on XBox 360 Laptop Mod Created · · Score: 1

    I'd mod that funny but it was my post that set you up... On 2nd thought, considering who we're talking about, maybe insightful would be more accurate...

  11. not /.ed on XBox 360 Laptop Mod Created · · Score: 1

    The server's been dead for hours...

  12. Well duh... on Bob Saget 2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone who hasn't already made that connection must be a bit out of touch... Heck, some of those places are even paying the submitters of the most popular videos... $10,000 grand prize anyone?

  13. Re:Partial credit on The Expert Mind · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never met the Robot Devil...

  14. Re:Can we get it in something that's NOT Quicktime on Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan · · Score: 1

    You need QuickTime Alternative. My 3800+ X2 box couldn't playback 1080p mov trailers without chop using Quicktime 7 but using Alternative they play smooth as silk.

  15. Yeah but... on Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Sets World Record · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...even at 7Ghz is still can't game any faster than a two year old Athlon 64 3200+... Why do games hate intel anyway?

  16. Why did the cat fall off the roof? on Carter Copter Breaks Mu-1 Barrier · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Because it lost its mu...

  17. Worst. Round-up. Evar. on Top Mice Compared · · Score: -1, Troll

  18. Ummm... Duh? on Howto - Flying Snakes · · Score: 1

    That's what I've been hearing on the Discovery etc as long as I remember...

  19. Re:Great News! on The Screen Savers Reunited · · Score: 1

    TechTV? Bleh, whatever, bring ZDTV back! Long live Kate Botello!

  20. Re:Packrats rejoice! on Moore's Law Original Issue Found · · Score: 1

    I think I'm supposed to reply to that by saying: "Don't bother, this story will be duped tomorrow anyway." Am I wrong? ;)

  21. "Sianara Sucka!" on Computer Crash Reactions Examined · · Score: 1

    I say and a push reset with great zeal... Less than a minute and everything is back to normal... I never work on anything important enough to be upset about losing... That's the secret...

  22. Re:Yes but what .. on BlueGene/L Puts the Hammer Down · · Score: 1

    LOL! Where are mt mod points when I need them? :D

  23. Small enough to be portable... on Star Smaller Than Some Planets Found · · Score: 2, Funny
