  1. No semicolon to end statements? on Prothon - A New Prototype-based Language · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What!? no semicolon to end statements? That's so BASIC.

  2. Re:can we all spell C U S T O M S ?? on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    I think the dude will try to smuggle it. Otherwise, as you point out, there is no reason to go in all that trouble.

  3. One word on USDTV Announces Low-Cost, Localized Digital TV · · Score: 1

    1. I rent 2. The Neighborhood Nazi Association bans them (that's just this backward neighborhood.)

    Move.

  4. A spammer researching anti-spam? on Microsoft Researching Anti-Spam Technique · · Score: -1, Troll

    Come on!!!

  5. Recovery mission now urgent. on Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle · · Score: 1

    I think is the moment to forget about searching for life and water on mars, now we need a mission to recover all the missing gear and equipment from failed missions! We'll look pretty dumb when the aliens find out all about that. :)

  6. Re:Abstraction on New 'Mystery Meson' Sub-Atomic Particle Discovered · · Score: 0

    Never argue with a guy who has a high energy accelerator. :)

  7. Re:Priorities on China's Space Launch Near; Malaysia Wants One, Too · · Score: 1

    would bombing Iraq FROM the Moon make you feel any better? =)

  8. Re:Struts equiv in .Net? on Programming .NET Components · · Score: 1
    Visual Studio .NET kinda does that, but it seems like there has to be more to it than that. Is there?

    The advantage of using Jakarta-struts (or any other [good] MVC framework) is that there is no need to waste time reinventing the wheel on handling client request/responses - the framework takes care of all that. Basically you concentrate on the business logic and presentation parts. My original question was if there is such a thing for .Net.. I'm pretty sure there is, just want to know how MS names that.

  9. Struts equiv in .Net? on Programming .NET Components · · Score: 1
    (Offtopic but WTH)

    Could somebody point me out to what's the Jakarta-struts equivalent in the .Net fmwk ---if there is such. Regards.

  10. best Mars photo ever? on Close Mars Means Close-Up Pictures · · Score: 1, Insightful
    images taken by Hubble last night, dubbed the best Mars globe photo ever taken...

    ...from earth orbit, indeed.

  11. Re:Just base 3 or 4? How about base pi, e, i, 1,.. on Beyond Binary Computing? · · Score: 1
    Base 2,3,4, and 10 are so easy. If you really want a challenge, build a computer using base pi, e, i, 1, or 0

    Take it to the extreme man, learn base -(-1^1/2), i.e. base -i, negative imaginary base. :)

  12. Re:What is this DeCSS? on DeCSS Loses Free Speech Shield · · Score: 1
    > Could someone post a link to it? I'd like to know what it is. :)
    1. >>OK: decss.c [redspike.tk]

    I think he meant it sarcastically.

  13. Re:In Space No One Can Hear You Scream on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 1
    Actually, you could "hear" the explosion, when the shockwave gets to you, the same time you can hear it on Earth.

    Shockwaves travel through the air, no shockwaves in space either.

  14. Re:Screen Real Estate on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    In particular, look at the one in the bottom-left of the first batch. It's a simple autoplay dialog, but it takes up 640x492! There's no excuse for that kind of waste.
    Yeah, and bet you if you resize the window CRAP! scroll bars show up cause the controls in the form are at fixed positions. What a shame.

  15. pong on World's First Game-Playing DNA Computer · · Score: 1

    So no version of pong yet?

  16. Obligatory Simpsons Reference on The Death of A Universe · · Score: 1

  17. Re:crypto on Online Document Search Reveals Secrets · · Score: 4, Funny

    No one can tell, man. That post is encrypted in itself.

  18. Cowboynealadium on Chemical Element 110 To Be Named · · Score: 2, Funny

    What surprises me the most is that nobody has proposed the name to be Cowboynealadium yet.

  19. Mars in opposition could be partly to blame? on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    Or is it because of mars in opposition?. Nonsense!!

  20. Glad it's summer time on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    Fortunately isn't winter season. I hate to use the fireplace, makes me feel so 20th century.

  21. Technology moving forward on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    If somebody develops a bigger gun someone else is developing a stronger armor. That's the way technology *moves forward*.

  22. Re:D&D on Iceman Otzi was a Fighter · · Score: 1

    Indeed, have you played Dark Alliance on the PS2?, there is this level where you have to retrieve the key to the next level form a frozen guy killed by orcs on top of a mountain. Great game.

  23. Re:I was thinking about a shirt said: on Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners! · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more something like "/. effect contributor" or the sorts. :)
