  1. Re:On first look, quite nice on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    Actually, they were $399. At least, that is what my receipt says.

  2. Re:Molar mass : 2g/mol-10l/g, not 1 on Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets · · Score: 1

    Whatever binds the hydrogen must have mass itself. Perhaps only 10% of the weight of the pellet is hydrogen.

  3. Re:Had my cup o' pedant this morning.. on Happy Birthday, Amiga · · Score: 1

    Ha... that guy was probably me! I kept mine until my senior year in 1998 when I replaced my A4000 (with a bad motherboard) with a PowerBook 520c. My next Mac was a G3/266 and I've never looked back since. Well, not really. I still keep a working A1200 around. Even though my iMac G5 can do everything I ever dreamed a computer could do, I still do miss using an Amiga.

  4. What I Read... on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 1

    ...was that 64% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Yeah, I've got nothing.

  5. Re:Big Freaking Surprise on NASA Ponders Postponing Launch until July · · Score: 1

    Physical Education. Gym. At least in the school I teach its a chance for the school to babysit 40-50 kids at one time with only one teacher. No, wait, its supposed to help students learn the importance of staying physically fit and healthy. I think. I'll know more once our state beings standardized testing for physical education.

    It is sad that PE is a joke, especially in the Southern US. I don't know where you are from, but they sure do grow 'em big down here! Its sad, actually. People here need to realize that all-you-can-eat buffets are a concept, not a rule!

  7. Re:Big Freaking Surprise on NASA Ponders Postponing Launch until July · · Score: 1

    We have PE in school, its just a joke, thats all. Basically has to do with the fact that most people don't feel they need to work hard at anything in life, they just seem to think they are entitled to everything. That, my friend, is the New American Way! Back to the topic at hand, though, it sure does cost a lot to launch a shuttle, but think of all the money it pumps into the economy.

  8. Or... on Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think what is more surprising is how Moore's Law continues to accurately predict the ever increasing number of Slashdot articles on the subject of Moore's Law!

  9. Gives a new meaing to... on Broadband Barrage Balloons · · Score: 3, Funny

    networks crashing. Oh the humanity!
