  1. Luminol on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    The way these guys use Luminol for making blood glow in the dark, you'd think the toxicity of the chemical would kill them by now...

  6. buurrp on Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uh, I've had my fill on Linux vs. Microsoft articles... can't someone the compile the millions of them into one lengthy book? I'll use it as a reference or kindling or something...

  7. Re:curved surfaces? on Projecting Video On Curved Surfaces · · Score: 1

    Not true. Most Projectors have shape adjustments to compensate for the shape of the wall, alot like the fine tuning settings on your monitor

  8. Re:Kick back? on Cornell Builds Autonomous UAV · · Score: 0

    I'll have to give you a big -1, Duuuuuh on this one. Of course thats why they picked it! Of course, that's how MS got all its donated grant money back, by charging them $$$ for the OS!

  9. Bagel worm??! on 70% Of 2004 Virus Activity Down To One Man · · Score: 1

    "Sasser claimed the top spot of the virus chart, in spite of the raging battle between the widespread Netsky and Bagle worms." If my bagels..errm Bagles had worms I'd just throw em out... uh... I think what it meant to say is Beagle, cause I get about 30 admin alerts a day about e-mail attachments with beagle in em...

    Cowboyneal, the Applehater!

    All your IMs are belong to us...

  12. I've seen this before... on Matrix Decision Making · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...in a management book I've read. Employees all have willingness and ableness.

    Great employees are willing AND able
    Employees that need training are willing and not able
    Employees and need some attitude adjusting are not willing and able
    Employees that are about to get their asses fired are not willing and not able
    It is very interesting to see this type of matrixed used in other places.

  13. other ways to recycle... on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While I think this is great of Office Depot, I think re-implementing some of the older technology to maybe some younger siblings, cousins, Boys and Girls club, etc. could also be good. There are still a lot of people that can afford these types of things. So, before you go recycling that 486 at office depot, thing about re-deployment!

  14. Yah, but... on Comparing Internet Cafe Rates Worldwide · · Score: 1

    I bet they don't have counterstrike at those internet cafe's...

  16. touchscreens on Sun to GPL Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

  18. let me get this straight... on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1

    we've had heroine babies, crack babies, and now we have 'roid babies??

  19. I think Ben Franklin had it right... on Is Finding Security Holes a Good Idea? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "To err is human, to forgive divine, to persist devilish" at least I think that's the quote...
    But what we need to keep in mind is that no matter how hard we try our code is never going to be completely perfect. It's in our nature. I think finding security holes in software is necessary to build on our understanding of security flaws.

  20. why? on NASA's Personal Satellite Assistants · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Why do they have an RS232 on the back of it? (pictured in the simulation). I'd be all about a WiFi, bluetooth, or wireless usb interface... just makes sense.

  21. Korgo definition on Windows Users Fear Korgo Virus · · Score: 0

    kor'go n. One reason US IT work will never be completely outsourced to the rest of the world.

  22. ditch the mouse on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 0

    Due to wrist problems in my right hand (we won't go in to details why I have wrist problems), I try not to use the mouse as much for highlighting. Holding down SHIFT and using the arrow keys, HOME and END I find is much faster than the mouse.

  24. I wonder... on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 0

    I bet they didn't think of the potential doom of getting posted on slashdot. What would the cube look like as they are getting slashdotted? I'm thinking implosion would be cool...
