  1. Step toward Babblefish on Universal Free Dictionary · · Score: 2, Funny

    Soon to be integrate with wearable PCs, then roam anywhere and have tiny headset translate what foreigners say to you. Speaker will talk back at them so they understand what you say as well!

  2. Re:Isolationism is powerlessness on China Blocking Access to Google News Site · · Score: 1
    30% middle class is not middle. It must be 50/50 exact ratio or more, or else it's recipe for total disaster.

    Consider your home. If 4 times as many housholds wanted to purchase the name on your mailbox. Now consider 8 times or more. Now you see that Gooogle is one small item, but highly necessary due to China's popularion exceeds a billion or more.

  3. Re:Shame on Google on China Blocking Access to Google News Site · · Score: 1
    What I think these folks are missing is that China doesn't care. They'll use us for a time, but in the end they will control things internally the way they want.

    I do not want to use you. China must control some what, exactly the way the USA controls street flow of vehicle traffic. You can not say that a government does not care about it's people just because of Google restrictions.

    If superior smelting operation was not distracted by other dam events, one billion ore times that many citizen workers equals that much advancement to sell and to use.

    Both pro- and anti- Google steps are indeed painful, but highly necessary to manage troubling events and criminals who abuse delecate computer system.

    (Of course there is no "creation" of energy. Der.)

  6. Heat pollution on Creating Hydrogen With (Very) Hot Water · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One would be better to invent mini-nuclear reactors than introduce yet another step in the creation, storage, and use of energy.

  7. Yet another CmdrTaco election thread on Buggy Voting Machines · · Score: -1, Troll
    These Slashdot editors are a true math-loving, girl-shunning, stamp-collecting GEEKS.... as evidenced by their love of civics and video games.

    Face it, trendy politics and modern social issues just aren't your thing, Rob. You're a real, genuine nerd... Really.

  8. What would tower look like? on Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building · · Score: 1

    Could one see the top? Or would it "fade" into the sky?

  9. Re:Smarter or more knowlegeable? on Kim Peek, aka Rain Man Focus of NASA Study · · Score: 1
    Man, I had a hard time typing like that, I detest discussing someone as if they were a machine, but I could think of no better way to make my point.

    Hundred years ago, he'd be in a circus side-show. 500 years ago, he'd be locked in a monestary dungeon.

  10. Good thing we are all really nerds here on Twin Prime Proof Proffered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Luckily since we are all true "geeks" here at Slashdot, we can understand this math as we read through it. It's not like we're all posers who are really only interested in trendy politics, media, and video games.

  11. Think positive on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I bet their server still gets Slashdotted.

    Anyway, this is good -- we will now be able to simulate burning spacemen and such catastrophes in advance, and figure out the best way to cover up such mistakes in design and vehicle assembly.

  12. Re:Star Wars generation gap? Sound Effects- on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 1

    Even 2001 had problems with physics- like stars sweeping by as an astronaught repairs the outside of a ship.

  13. Why Star Wars? on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 2, Funny
    Please, please Mr Lucas, re-release the Christmas Special in new digital format.

    Or better- get working now on those funny Porky's movies. Or Manos, that's another gem that needs improvement.

  14. Explains generation gap? on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 3, Insightful
    This may be why Star Wars was so popular when if first came out, but when little kids and others watched it many years later in re-release or on video they were somewhat less impressed by the lesser quality film they were watching.

    Or... "Gee it was more fun the first time when I was 10!" Well, that's because it actually was a better-looking film.

  15. Re:Old Tricks on 30 Years Of Dungeons And Dragons · · Score: 1
    For one thing, with a multitude of readily-accessible planes, your "universe" is hardly a closed system.
    But if you insist, there is a place to draw the energy from in your scenario: The space inside the bag. Space itself is energy of a sort; I don't know how to compute it from General Relativity, but my impression is that it is a rather large amount; one bag would probably keep that going effectively indefinately with neglibile space loss.
    (Of course, that implies you must have access to an equally large amount of energy to create the bag in the first place; how convenient that there are so many highly energetic planes to draw from.)

    Did your girlfriend explain this to you? Oh... sorry.

  16. Two sides to this coin- on Wearable LCD Display · · Score: 1

    Looks like another toy that our town will demand for every student in the school system, whether they need it or not. (And guess who's paying...)

  17. Skeptical on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like a gimmick. Can someone say if ceramic is truly better than glass, or just better "in theory"?

  18. The reason on Senate Wants Database Dragnet · · Score: 1

    ... because such a system does not exist at the present moment....

  19. This is VERY nerdy topic! on Review of Team America World Police · · Score: 3, Funny
    MEGA thanks, CmdTaco! This is exactly what it means to be nerds.

    Play video game? You're a nerd.

    Watch edgy-movies? Nerd.

    Vote? TOTAL Nerd!

  20. Political on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 0, Troll

    Remember - if you do not vote with Slashdot, you are killing this planet on purpose. You are lower than Holocaust perpetrator. Kill yourself now, if you don't totally agree with scientific Slashdot proof that you are a EARTH MURDERER.

  21. Re:Reilly rocks. on Massachusetts Atty. General Forces Spammer to Pay · · Score: 1
    He took on the Catholic Church, and sent them running for cover.

    Absolutely wrong - quite the opposite. Unless you think Cardinal Law's retirement to rich and beautiful Rome is enough punishment for allowing 1000s of kids to be touched, penetrated, facialed, and then told to shut up and pray....

    The street rumor says that Reilly's own political ambition is to blame for his failure to prosecute the church heirarchy, not to mention his own catholic faith represents an obvious conflict of interest.

    Try telling that to the inmates of Belmarsh Prison who have been imprisoned under our shiny new anti-terrorism laws here in the UK.

    (All together now...) "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

  23. Loophole? on Spyware Fines OKed By House · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about 80 page disclaimer of legalise and jargon, and title it "Terms of use"? As if one would click "NO" after purchasing $1000 computer and then bothering to download whatever software you need for it.

  24. I cringe every flight on Win the X-Prize Cup · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The X-planes flew in the 1940s and 50s. Think of how many test pilots were killed, and the only reason they continued the program was due to belief in the Air Force mission.

    If one disaster happens- watch how fast private funding dies. All moneys will evaporate quickly.

    Best solution is pick volunteers from heroic officer corp. Make random selection mandatory, then honor burned spacemen with shiny brass plaque.

  25. Just like FOUNDATION novels on Nuclear Batteries · · Score: 0

    This is much like Isaic Assimov idea about miniturization danger of technology. If one man has large power source (like a Nuclear battery), then one could power fantastic devices capable of great deeds. Such a man would be virtualy Indestructible.
