  1. Starbucks must take advantage of the same source on Photosynthesis May Rely On Quantum Effect · · Score: 0, Funny

    because I know I'm instantly up and going after I get my morning coffee!

  2. Re:Why not just do it yourself? on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    They also cater to a larger market than the tech-savvy with their:
    crappy software that makes the backup process more pretty
    sparkley cases that are already put together
    nifty one-button simplicity

    Heck, I've seen someone pay $300 more on a notably crappier laptop than one I suggested because of the customizable case.
    I agree as that's the way I've always gone but hey, it's how a lot of people think.

  3. Re:Why wasn't the LaCie rated higher? on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    They were mad that some of the features didn't work as advertised. I'm sure if they work the kinks out they'll have a strong product.

  4. TFA: one page, no advertising: on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: -1

    The cheaper, the better

    FTA:

    In the end, we find that our favorite drive wins over the runner-up based on price and a couple of nice-to-have but by no means critical features.
  5. sounds great on National Intelligence Director Seeks Expansion of Spy Powers · · Score: -1, Troll

    it's not like we need civil liberties or anything

    I really didn't think the patriot act went far enough anyways

  6. workaround on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 0

    Gosh, nobody has EVER been able to break DRM schemes...

    whatever shall we do?!?

  7. Re:Why bother? on Transgaming Introduces Cedega 6.0 · · Score: 0

    Did you happen to actually read the article? If you do you'll see the games tested benchmark higher than the Vista (and in some cases XP) counterparts. This is a strong argument to go pure Linux.

  8. Re:Deja vu on Bethesda Investigates Shivering Isles Bug · · Score: 0

    It reminds me more of when many featured articles hit their slashdot limit.

    Thus just causing many of them to crash.

  9. This may actually be a promise... on OLED TVs Arriving Within the Next Three Years · · Score: 0

    a company can live up to. We do see a lot of "coming in 3 years" that slowly becomes vapoware, but in this case the technology is not only proven, but in use. Hopefully this will prove both a price and performance boost over current offerings.

  10. Re:Summary: on Faster P2P By Matching Similiar Files? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    or better yet, why not divide it into 1 bit chunks, that way you'll have TRILLIONS of sources to download it from, that way all your computer has to do is determine the information in the chunk and download it from the first source it sees... this could even come from your own computers!!

    Man, these torrent files are huge. When did they start making torrent files that are 4GB??

  11. Watch out RIAA on EFF Jumps in Against RIAA for Copyright Misuse · · Score: 1, Insightful

    At least the RIAA now knows they have to have some sense of decency in their hearings and lack thereof will have consequences.

  12. Tagging on Dumping ISP May Cost Customers $150 · · Score: 0

    Can we add a "duh" tag to this one

  13. let me get this straight... on Water Found in Exoplanet's Atmosphere · · Score: 0
    FTA:

    Because of the tight orbit, the star would cause immense tides on the planet that "blow away part of the upper atmosphere," explained Alfred Vidal-Madjar, who led the study out of the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris. As mass is stripped, the planet loses gravitational prowess, making it easier for more hydrogen to flee.

    So that's a star and it's slowly killing that poor little planet

    We've found something even bigger than water on a different planet

    We've found the Death Star!!!

  14. oh no, they store our searches!? on What MSN, Google, Yahoo and AOL Know About You · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hoped they purged my request to find "the clitoris" on google maps

  15. Taxation without representation!!! on Taxes, Second Life and Warcraft · · Score: 0

    Would that mean your online WOW character would get to vote?!?

    They'd probably end up voting Buchanan on accident anyways!

  16. Re:Cutting To The Chase on Solar Power-Cell Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    small correction:

    Basically, if you are an advocate of nuclear power as clean power, well then you should probably turn your fandom towards the biggest nuclear power plant in the solar system...of course, I've personally got no problem with some breeder and a couple dozen pebble-bed reactors - just saying ;)

    The sun is technically fusion power, not fission like nuclear is.

  17. Re:I've heard... on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... that they're also looking for an elusive character to subpoena, his name is "Honest Truth".

    that's funny... I thought they were trying to avoid him

  18. They're missing the audience controllers though. on Rock Band As the Costly New MTV? · · Score: 3, Funny

    you forgot to throw in the $4.99 "Bic" controllers for the audience watching you. When a ballad comes on they need the proper "light and sway" technique!

  19. only because Samuel Jackson showed up and said: on FCC Says No to Mobile Phones on Airplane · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I'm sick and tired, of these muthaf**king phones, on these muchaf**king planes!" The sequil comes out this August!

  20. nothing new... on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 0

    We've heard the same story before

  21. Re:so how does this ... on New Algorithms Improve Image Search · · Score: 0

    you just draw a picture of her boobs and bam!!!
    NATALIE PORTMANIA!

  22. aw man... on WiiHelms Go on Sale · · Score: 1, Funny

    you still have to move your foot?!? I'm way too lazy for that. They just need to come out with Wii games that play themselves for me!

  23. Re:I heard she really trained for this on Astronaut to Run the Boston Marathon From Space · · Score: 0

    In fact, she weighs next to nothing.

    yeah, but she's still relatively massive

  24. Star wars stamps... on USPS Announces Star Wars Stamp Set · · Score: 5, Funny

    Made specifically when you're mailing to a C3POBox.

  25. Re:Science rethinking. on Evolution of Mammals Re-evaluated · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm calling you on this rediculous statement. Science is only as sure as they can prove. You'll hardly find a scientist who, under new evidence or studies, will say "nope, the way we used to believe is more correct, and i'll be damned if i take your new evidence into consideration!"

    Sounds more like religion to me.

    You two should stop fighting and realize that it was actually the flying spaghetti monster that created it all!
