  1. Scale it up for asteroids on Anti-Missile Laser Weapon Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    I am not coming out of my Y-2-K bunker until we are safe from all meteor/comet impact.

  2. Re:"Lifetime" is ambiguous. on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    True, but probably a matter to convince a jury about what you think. Read it aloud, and there is only one meaning in my opinion. "Is" mean "is".

  3. This is the reason I switched to CDs on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1
    "In storing and handling this compact disc you should apply the same care as with conventional records. No further cleaning will be necessary if the compact disc is always held by the edges and is replaced in its case directly after playing. Should the compact disc become soiled by fingerprints, dust, or dirt it can be wiped (always in a strait line from center to edge) with a clean and lint free, soft, dry cloth. No solvent or abrasive cleaner should ever be used on the disc. If you follow these suggestions, the compact disc will provide a lifetime of pure listening enjoyment."

    I am under 30, and I think even the crazy court system would have to agree that is not "a lifetime". Funny they stopped printing this nonsense as soon as everyone own a CD player.

    If any lawyer here would like to help file class-action, I am interested.

  4. Outsource whole mission? on Russian Group Plans Manned Mars Mission By 2011 · · Score: 0, Troll
    Why not pay cheap third world peoples to fly such doomed one-way mission of death?

    Why attempt landing? Better to fly there and go for direct bulls-eye crash into crater.

  5. Re:How does this work? on Mac OS X Trojan Horse Infects MP3s · · Score: 1
    And that is why anyone who tells you that Unix, Linux, or OS X are inherently secure needs to be taken out and shot.

    No. Their entire family and surrounding village should be shot. One crime, many suffer. It is very important message to send to such criminals.

  6. Re:Yeah right... on Passive E-Mail Monitoring Leads To Arrest · · Score: 1

    Pure genius. With such methods, they may well be able to save their book report on Candide, later printing it with a quality laser printer at school. If they should ever pass the seventh grade, we will all be doomed.

  7. Re:I see no good reason why not.... on Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Computers are a human creation...it's not a matter of whether we can trust the computer, but rather a matter of can we trust that the people who built the computer and coded the software it runs knew what they were doing and didn't make any errors. Computers can only do what we tell them to...so really it was humans who indirectly made the proofs by producing a system capable of doing so.

    Completely fascinating.... So how do I use a mouse? Also, I wish to use 3.5" disk in my 5.25" floppy drive.. is this possible?

  8. Re:Pointless on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 1

    Do you ever order Medium Coke? How about 2 Mediums Cokes? Your definition is some-what foolish.

  9. Is this Slashdot or New York Times? on New Tool Cracks Apple's FairPlay DRM · · Score: 4, Insightful
    "To me the authors are vandals not revolutionaries, and may have ensured WMA becomes the standard."

    Interesting. Good point. So why was this allowed in reporting the story?

    This belongs in the comment section, to be moderated fairly, like my little opinion and other people's comments.

  10. Re:Egotism doesn't start to describe this.... on A Completely Separate Ecosystem on Earth · · Score: 1

    I challenge you to name one reason I am wrong. You can not do it. You are bigot and foolish pride to say I am wrong about my carreer choice.

  11. Re:Egotism doesn't start to describe this.... on A Completely Separate Ecosystem on Earth · · Score: 1
    You seriously could benefit from reading the stoic philosophers. That and Candide, though I'm sure you'd dismiss either as the sort of "Liberal Arts" nonsense they teach at the college.

    Even if you're going to instantly absolve yourself of all your sins -- in advance, no less -- you do kind of want to try to think ahead just the tiniest little bit. Only way you can lead a moral life is to struggle with moral questions. There ain't no easy way out of it, for all the religious solutions that get peddled. You have to work to do the right thing. And call me a tree-hugger, but you have to actually care about what the right thing to do would be, you know?

    Liberal arts are needed mostly for schooling, to 12 grades. They are completely stupid for scientits to practice. I know I know- you sing me a stupid RUSH song about ship's captain and you the fancy navigator. My old roommate was an idiot and played them so much I no longer like them like I once did. In fact I hate them now.

    I am done struggling with foolishness and silly points of view. Science is my life now, and all adults need to grow up and get with the program.

  12. Re:The bad side of course... on Weapons in Space · · Score: 1
    ...is it could be the start of a new cold war, or at least cause some countries to get a little nervous about the U.S.
    Specifically, China.

    What do you know about China, huh? Precisely.

    China posesses no interest in weapons war with other country. Except for Tibet state and persistent Taiwan problem. Otherwise, the moon is the moon and the earth is the earth. There is no interest in space war, so relax captain.

  13. Re:"it was meant to be", lol on A Completely Separate Ecosystem on Earth · · Score: 1
    Any life on Io (or Europa or underground lakes etc) can be viewed as a (very rare) experiment, with the potential to learn a lot about how life develops, and if we introduce external influences we run a real risk of contaminating the results.

    We MUST conquor these worlds. With luck and appropriate spirit, it will be done someday!

  14. Re:The trouble with isolated environments on A Completely Separate Ecosystem on Earth · · Score: 3, Insightful
    This is also one of the reasons why we're so edgy about sending probes to Io, we don't want to let our life destroy theirs without even knowing it.

    We? Speak for yourself!

    Any "contamination" from such a probe will have to compete with native microbes in Io's natural environment. Most likely, it will be quickly overrun and out-competed for nutrients. If it DOES contaminate and take hold of the planet, then it was meant to be; it probably would have heppened by now from meteor impacts. Earth itself has been contaminated with martian rocks. I don't hear you environmentalist wackos complaining about that.

    How can this man not have wife or many girlfriends call night and day? Dressing like TRON character very important, but must make time for play as well.

  17. This will REDUCE bad profiling on US Expands Fingerprint and Mugshot Program for Visitors · · Score: 1

    If you consider how many foreigner have difficult time with many police who think "they all look alike", then this system will help prevent any racism what so ever at places like toll booth and airport strip search.

    Probably you are doing very good work, in my estimation. Group 1 memory analysis vs. Group 2 memory analysis testing procedure sounds valid to me, therefore it is science.

    I'm curious - do you know of a better way to try and measure emotions, or are you saying that people would be better off not attempting to measure emotions at all?

    Finially here is one Slashdoter who is not an complete idiot! No and yes respective- I do not know a better way than brain scans. I am a biologist, afterall, not a computer technician. Also, yes that we should not try and measure emotion scientifically. If I say "I am happy", then accept one's own happiness. Don't give me "+1 score in column B" and then ask me how many times I have sex in one day. It is all B.S. that sort of question you see.

    You are correct about all of that, hence, it is better to say it is "humanities". Humanities is VERY IMPORTANT. Life on earth would not be possible were not for human nature, but don't call it "science" unless I am ready to call the sky pink or magenta at the moment it looks to be blue.

    Artificial scoring schemes and arbitrary tests are necessary parts of trying to quantify a totally qualitative set of variables. Bias is the cost of doing business.

    OK. I will do the same thing next it is time to build a bridge, or calculate your medication dosage, or fix the amount of compound to divide in your bank account. Don't complain when the bridge falls down, or you overdose on blood pressure medicine, or your bank account receives $1000 deposit when $1500 was due to you. Don't come crying to Hao!

    I'm not saying that sociology isn't valid science, just that it doesn't require a totally different mindset than the social one people usually use.

    I am saying it is invalid science! Based on subjective opinions. Oh- if I don't talk to another idiot in my apartment for more than 1 day, I become "Introvert". Score +1 in this column. Why? Because you decide this column gets +1 and not -10 so you can make up a system and sell it to become "scientist" like the real scientists who work in respected fields. It is called bull shit. Psychology and sociology make up scoring systems. It is all they do.

    And psychologists don't tell me this and that about "understanding complex system" such as brain activity. That is field for neurology and brain surgeon. Do not compare yourselves to those people; they are much higher than you will ever be preaching Brigg-Myer and similar crap.

    Motion of the particles is irrelevant to this, Einstein's equation governs ALL nuclear reactions, fission and fusion.

    Yes but super laser shoots masses of mass, m, and collisions occur. Momentum is exactly conserved in straight line, no matter how pieces are broken in differing directions. Imagine a billiard table breaking apart when a cue ball shoots it. (All balls fly apart, but mass, m, momentum stays straight from origin.)

    I can not aruge this way. I feel stupid like you. You need to review your textbooks, my friend.
