  1. Re:Profitability on Katrina Delays Shuttle · · Score: 0
    who knows, maybe Paul Allen can talk Bill into something like that.

    Just don't call him "Patrick Bateman".

  2. Brilliant on Marvel Gets Cash to do 10 Films · · Score: 0

    The company's also changing its name from Marvel Enterprises to Marvel Entertainment.

    You know some executive worked really hard and got a bonus for that genius idea. "AT-A-BOY!"

  3. It's fantasy, soooo... on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    I already know what reality looks like, and the whole point of games is to ESCAPE that.

    I don't want to feel like I'm playing a modern version of DOOM from 1997.

  4. Re:Bury? on Balmer Vows to Kill Google · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Kruschev was actually referring to grain production with that statement. Only the press took it literally.

  5. Start by changing the "Einstein" logo on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    A more accurate picture of science is a B-minus graduate student who settles for his or her masters and gives up on PhD dreams.

  6. Re:Ignorance on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 1
    ", how to make sure the people at the bottom actually know what the heck they're doing and aren't just a bunch of unexperienced unmotivated people just out of college."

    The standard solution, unfortunately, is to force a false sense of professionalism on those people, through completely lame training, accreditation, certificates, "empowerment", and - of course - a dress code.

    It is all bull---t, and those "unexperienced unmotivated people just out of college" KNOW it. They resent it deeply, in fact, it would be better to just raise their salary a little and ignore any grumbling that remains over their lowly, ill-esteemed positions. (Those with truly poor attitudes should also be fired, with no hesitation.)

  7. This may have appliccation without limit on Algae Can Carry Cargo · · Score: 1

    Imagin the prospect of alge cell organisms moving under tiny motors on top of a water's surface. Then close both of your eyes and see THE FUTURE.

  8. Re:Raid 5 for my laptop when? on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    A tape drive in a laptop.... Has that ever been done before?

  9. Looks like a race riot on Henrico County iBook Sale Creates iRiot · · Score: 1

    Appears very much like "LA riots" from last decade....

  10. Legal Advice on Recordable Media a Bigger Threat Than Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    Do not burn your songs to CDs to give to friends. It is illegal, and you are causing problems for a whole industry.

    Use recordable DVD media instead. More efficient, and therefore less chance of being caught with many stacks of pirated CDs in your sock drawer.

  11. Re:Bad that Copyright takes so long to expire on Google Print Holds The Presses · · Score: 1, Insightful
    The ideal library, obviously, would be every book ever written neatly indexed and available on-line at Wiki-type sites or dedicated sites, searchable by Google.

    It should also be on RAID storage, and "someone else" should pay for it...

  12. Life's lesson on The Birth of the Apple Lisa · · Score: 0, Troll

    Even if your first big dream is a total failure and an embarrassment forever after, with hard work you can still come back to be Slashdot's pony whore.

  13. Main purpose on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1


    Just another method to track and embarrass political enemies, since taxation leaves a giant paper trail. Nothing more than that.

  14. "But..." on MSN Virtual Earth Revealed · · Score: 1
    I fully support the project. BUT:

    It is important to consider that criminals will be able to scout en masse and "high-throughput". The Russian mob will be casing your property from across the globe eventually.

  15. Executives surfing = everyone? on Websurfing Damaging U.S. Productivity? · · Score: 0

    So if management wastes hours a day doing it, they assume that their workers do too. A-holes.

  16. Re:It's not perception, it's real. on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1
    They're basically calling us stupid, or that we don't know what's good for us. (Like you say, poor market, low salary, miserable job...)

    I suppose too- it was only "perception" that 100% of the class were introverts, 90% male, and my "poor attitude" that couldn't find a date among them!

  17. Safari now FAILS "Acid test" on Flurry of Security Patches · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It used to pass, but no longer. Try it:

    The Second Acid Test

  18. Re:interesting take on ipod centric-business plann on Speculation on Real Reasons Behind Apple Switch · · Score: 1
    "People want to watch their movies on their giant home theater setups."

    I was wondering if a large set of goggles could fool a person into thinking they're in a theater? Do your eyes work differently in each setting, or is it possible to simulate a giant screen that way?

  19. FTA on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 4, Informative
    "For more information, you can buy this article for $11.95."

    Thank you for the offer, Timothy.

  20. What stock should we buy, Timothy? on Iris Recognition To Take Off · · Score: 1
    This "anonymous source" surely has no interest in market manipulation....

  21. Very original idea on China Plans Deep Impact Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only genius of China nation think so clearly for future requirments of Grate Space missions.

    The Nasa needs to play catch up games now, I beleive. (If try the copying of ideas, then perhaps you will find...)

  22. Star Wars Kid on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 2, Funny

    I want that golfball retriever....

  23. psycho-babble on Columbine Student on VG Violence · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    While he carefully explains the pros and cons of playing videogames (and some non-relation to a bloody massacre), others are busy with their happy lives working jobs, playing with friends, and making plans for the weekend.

    Grow up, kid.

  24. Lifespan matters on Innovation Getting Slower? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Today, one is often 30 years old by the time you earn a PhD and do interesting research. There is so much to learn, it takes many years to reach the "cutting edge".

  25. Re:Please tell me they at least have the ability on Discovery Set to Launch July 13 · · Score: 1

    A fail-safe vehicle needs to be developed. The shuttle can't be made that way, only a new design will do.
