  1. To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset on Next Nintendo Handheld To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset · · Score: 5, Funny

    And, you know, batteries.

  2. Re:VX Nano on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    Only flaw? Does it come in a left-handed version? Ambidextrous?

  3. As my mother always says: on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 1
    "If you're so rich, then how come I can see your house?"

    'This is an affluent area,' protester Paul Jacobs said. 'We've already had three burglaries locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are plastered all over Google it's an invitation for more criminals to strike.'

    No, income disparity (whether just or not I won't debate) is an invitation for criminals to strike. The criminals are already there, before Google arrived. Making Google the boogeyman won't solve anything.

    And are criminals really using GoogleMaps to case houses? I suppose anything's possible.

  4. Re:I missed it? on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1

    Did you miss the Silk Spectre in Watchmen? Ugh. Wrong actress, too young, bad actress, flat performance.

  5. It's not that hard. on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Treat it like you would a railroad crossing. You're not going to yell at an oncoming train, "It's not my fault I got stuck here!" are you?

  6. Re:Really? on Green Is In At CES, But Is It Real? · · Score: 1

    Right, and people with food allergies should bring mass spectrometers with them whenever they go out to eat. Or go grocery shopping. Nutritional information? Do your own damn research, people.

  7. Battery on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    But can you replace your own iPhone battery (without invalidating the warranty)? Or is it still soldered to the board?

  8. Related stories on Cognitive Radios Could Increase Wireless Spectrum · · Score: 1
  9. In this situation... on Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google's · · Score: 1

    I put on my robe and my market cap.

  10. Teach the controversy on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 1
  11. Methodology on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    Was this survey conducted on-line, or by phone?

  12. OMG can we make this about NN? on Is Today's Web Still 'the Web'? · · Score: 1

    Right now, it's still "The Web." In a post net-neutrality world, it'll be "The Webs." Or AOLSoftizoncast Presents: "The Web (the parts we want you to have access to)."

  13. Re: Dropping back on Experiment Shows Traffic 'Shock Waves' Cause Jams · · Score: 1
    It's a shame there are so many automatics out there. If only people were still in the habit of downshifting.

    My personal solution is to restrict automatic transmissions to the handicapped, and regular testing for elderly drivers.

  14. An analogy on Using Two Monitors Makes You More Productive? · · Score: 1
    Imagine that everything you do is done on paper. Every window you use is a seperate sheet of paper. You're working on these sheets one at a time, because your desk is only one sheet of paper big. Whenever you have to reference another sheet of paper, you have to take the one you're using, shuffle it into the middle of the stack of all the papers you've currently got out of the master filing cabinet, and pluck out the one you want to look at. Then you have to put that one away and find the original one to go back.

    Would having a desk that is the size of two sheets of paper be more efficient? Generally, yes. How much depends on how much shuffling you normally do (hope you're not a scrivener!). Of course, not everyone runs everything in full-screen, but most people do. It's not a perfect analogy, but it does hold some water. Think of it as a conceptual exercise, and feel free to borrow it in justifying to your superiors.

  15. Who cares? on Konami Slot Machines Flashing Subliminal Messages? · · Score: 1

    Subliminal messages do not work.

  16. RIP on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Where do I send my condolence card for your sense of humor?

  17. Satellites on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    They could probably launch something geosynchronous, but right now they're busy figuring out how to make the satellite face Mecca five times in the same day, and whether that 'day' should be sidereal or solar.

  18. Who cares about temp? Is it gonna rain? on Statistical Accuracy of Internet Weather Forecasts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd rather know if there's going to be any precipitation so I can plan my motorcycle gear correctly. Let me know when someone compares precip. forecasts.

  19. Editorial comment on India Brings Back Orbiting Satellite to Earth · · Score: 1
    Where did the slashdot editors learn grammar? "India brings orbiting satellite back to Earth." Because the other way means that they're fostering a revival of the orbiting satellite, which had fallen out of favor on Earth. I love orbiting satellites! Someone should bring those back, along with the grunge look.*

    *Sample sentence. Opinions expressed within may not reflect actual opinions of the author.

  20. Re:Goddamn stupid morons.. on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, please. When have the morons NOT been in charge?

  21. For Better or For Worse on New Email Rules Effective Friday · · Score: 1

    Why is this tagged as "bigbrother"? Isn't the point of this legislation to create an e-paper trail for scum like Enron execs? I'm sure that down the line, when small companies are going to be subject to lawsuits for unpatriotic behavior, this will have negative repercussions, but how about painting both the pros and cons of an issue when framing an article (an article which itself was fairly neutral)?

  22. Re:In My Opinion This is Good for Everyone on Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided · · Score: 1

    "just remember that the other half of the country is Democrat" Just remember that those not affiliated with either party, coupled with those who don't vote, make up a majority of the citizenry. Your notion of "half" re: party affiliations is laughable to anyone outside the presbyopic two-party system.

  23. Goes After? on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1

    I would think they'd want Apple to come before Podcast, as in Apple Podcast(TM).

  24. .mob/deep on .mobi Websites Now Available to Register · · Score: 1

    I guess .mob was already in use.

  25. Re:Retarded child analogy flawed on Inverting Images for Uninvited Users · · Score: 1

    Rather than yard, it's more like your kid says it's okay for them to come over to your house. You'd better keep your house (and your WiFi) locked if your child is that retarded.
