  1. Turns? on Raised Flooring Obsolete or Not? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As long as the space under the floor has a negative or positive atmosphere I can't see how somme turns have anything to do with the air flow.

  2. Re:Birds on Floating Wind Turbine Platform · · Score: 1
    Besides, if that many bird are killed I guess they will just have to evolve to not be stupid enough to fly into multi-ton blades that measure 100+ feet across and spin at 100+ RPM. I mean, jesus. Talk about a class *cough*biology class*cough* not worthy.

    Heh

  3. Re:Compensation? on Patents vs. Secrecy · · Score: 1

    No necessarily. On Slashdot a few weeks ago they were talking about how a big patent was taken by the DoD and they got NO money for it.

  4. Re:Not true. on Court Battle Over Internet Calls · · Score: 1

    How would they get that/how would that work? Unless they use a uniform key across all clients I don't know what you are talking about.

  5. Re:It's not that it's hard on Fighting FUD with Humor · · Score: 1, Troll

    Linux IS something only geeks use.

  6. Re:What good does it really do? on Court Battle Over Internet Calls · · Score: 4, Informative

    Encrypted P2P VOIP you say?

    It's called Skype. Welcome to The Future.

  7. Skype on Court Battle Over Internet Calls · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With a system like Skype, which uses P2P for calls, how would this work?

    I'm kind of ok with wiretapping, just as long as there ISN'T A BACKDOOR. I don't care what they say, a backdoor into anything is a bad idea.

  8. Re:To the sarcastic Americans on Significant FBI Abuses of the Patriot Act · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, it's not. When the choice is between a corrupt bastard, and a less corrupt bastard, you don't have much of a vote over anything.

  9. Re:once again... on Significant FBI Abuses of the Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    Many people said asked where the proof is that they were abusing their powers.

    We all knew this day would come and shame the people who had faith in a system of one-way mirrors. With the reflecting side to us.

  10. Re:Disney? on Disney Encrypting Screener DVDs to Prevent Piracy · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up.

    I don't see how this affects pirates. No pirate wants a fricken DISNEY release. I know this seems like troll/flaimbait, but think about it.

  11. Re:More like a ploy... on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    > and ion engines haven't scaled to multi-ton spacecraft yet

    Well, you can push a multi-ton spacecraft with an ion engine to incredible speeds. Sure, you'll be 80 by the time it gets to 1,000 mph, but I digress.

  12. Re:Did You Know? on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 2, Funny

    Awesome!

    When there are enough super-solar-panels up there the whole day will be like a rave. w00t, strobe sun! Oh yeah!

  13. Re:Any word on the next gen space shuttle on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 2, Informative

    Last time I heard it was still up and running with Lockheed Martin. Though with all the recent shakeups I wouldn't be surprised if Lockheed just told them to shove it.

  14. Mars? on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sure, they'll get to Mars in it. All their muscle mass will be gone, but they'll get there.

    You need a spinning ring to provide artificial gravity or they will literally collapse when they set foot on Mars.

  15. Brilliant! on Deep in the Core · · Score: 5, Funny

    meehawl: Lets link to a mpg video file on the front page of Slashdot! Nothing could go wrong! Zonk: Brilliant!

  16. 0h n03s! on Tropical Storm Alpha Sets Naming Record · · Score: 0

    The 21 names! They do nothing!

  17. bye on Navy Sued for Sonar-Blasting Whales · · Score: 5, Funny

    Good bye, and thanks for all the fish....you sonar blasting n00bs.

  18. Re:you don't have to replace the TV on Congress Pays You $3 Billion to Keep Watching TV · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Have you ever seen a digital TV pan? Looks like a god damn mpeg1 rip made by a 8 year old.

  19. Re:I don't blame them. on Violating A Patent As Moral Choice · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it sure costs shit to pay the salaries of the brightest minds in the industry in a lab with the latest equipment to develop a cure that took 11 years to make.

  20. Re:Eerie "projector" tv on Geeky Gadgets for Halloween Parties? · · Score: 1

    This is actually how they did alot of magic tricks around the turn of the century. However, they used someone under the stage with a really bright projector.

  21. Re:Got to love /. on FCC Demands Universities Comply With Wiretap Law · · Score: 1

    Fewer and fewer students are getting into the US in foreign-exchange programs, anyway.

  22. Re:I think you nailed it. on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 1

    > It also weighs about as much as a book

    Watson, someone has figured out how to convert energy into mass!

  23. Zoom on Hubble Zooms In On Moon Minerals · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wasn't aware Hubble could focus to so close of an object. Anyone have details about this?

  24. Re:Statist Musical Chairs on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    You analogy is flawed. Each country has their OWN network which connects to OURS. Nothing is stopping them from "going to their house". Unless they happen to commute over the atlantic everyday.

  25. WTF? on Commission Suggests UK Should End Astronaut Ban · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean, seriously. That's all I can say. What the fuck?

    I mean shit, I know it's a waste of money but to BAN it? Someone needs to get beat with a billy club.
