  1. the effects this, the dialogue that, cp3o this... on Writer: Why Watching the Original Star Wars Again Was a Bad Idea (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    For a person who says he wasn't much of a whiner when he was 9, the author sure got better at it over the years....

  2. Generation gap? on Analog Still Big In Japan (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Not actually a surprise if you consider the average age of the population: 45+ !

  3. Something for your wife..... on Ask Slashdot: Terminally Ill - What Wisdom Should I Pass On To My Geek Daughter? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know the question is about video messages to your daughter , but there is also your wife who will miss you .... I read somewhere that a guy arranged at a local flowershop to send flowers to his wife on valentines day for some years after his death.. ...Maybe you can arrange something like that for her... good luck !

  4. Wimps? Wimps everywhere ! on Most Sensitive Detector Yet Fails To Find Any Signs of Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    from the article :
    "... physicists are not ready to give up on the idea of detecting WIMPs. They may simply have a lower mass, or may be more weakly interacting than originally hoped....We have some way to go"

    So former wimps are having a hard time finding WIMPs themselves? That's an interesting turn of events !!

  5. apparently... on Drive With Google Glass: Get a Ticket · · Score: 5, Funny

    ....she didn't see it coming.... ba dum tss!

  6. Re:Really? on Unmanned 'Terminator' Robots Kill Jellyfish · · Score: 1

    these are not normal Korean jellyfish, these are an invasive species, looks like fat american variety, but actually traced to the torpedo-tubes of israeli submarines lurking in Asian waters.

    usnavy has sonar which repeatedly and consistently kills most whales within its range. this fact has been largely ignored until last week. mass-media prefers to blame dead whales on the Northerners and Japanese.

    sharks are altogether a different problem

    Gotta kill these fat american invaders!

    Smile!! You're on NSA Camera!

  7. Farewell Yamauchi-san on Visionary Nintendo President Yamauchi Dies · · Score: 1
  8. Million Monkeys Protest on Iran Tried and Failed To Launch a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Siri and translation on Google Improves Android Translator To Battle Siri · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...... Siri: usable natural language voice recognition (at least that's how they sell it) .....

    Japanese people beg to differ... :D

  10. Considering How easy it was to raid the place... on 'Motherlode' of Data Seized At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 1

    ACME blueprints?

  11. Bad News! on 4G Broadband May Jam GPS · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine how chaotic the eletromagnetic spectrum will be when the Bieber's 6G Fever hits off ??

  12. If you know Microsoft's policy... on Microsoft Puts the Kibosh On Kinect Sex Game Plans · · Score: 3, Funny

    you just know that there must be someting in the License of their products that states: "No one can screw our costumer, but us!"

  13. Re:It's Relative on Life-size Eva Unit 01 Being Built In Japan · · Score: 1

    This, kinda lame.

    The Gundam mecha model (jpeg), however, looks fucking awesome.

    I'm looking forward to the Doraemon model! =D

  14. Let's start over. on Fatal Flaw Discovered In Invisibility Cloaks · · Score: 1

    What about looking for other projects ?

    I'm particularly fond of Instant Portable Holes rather than invisible cloaks.

  15. Re:A-list? What? on StarCraft Cheating Scandal Rocks Korea · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a non-American... who the f**k is Lebron James???

    Who knows. I haven't heard of him either. Best guess based on this story: He probably plays Warcraft instead of Starcraft.

    I thought he had mentioned Leeroy Jenkins! =D

  16. Moral on different parts of Earth. on Magnetism Can Sway Man's Moral Compass · · Score: 1

    Considering the variations on magnetism on the surface of Earth, I wonder if the differences of moral in different regions of the globe has anything to do with the variation on the magnetism on the planet.

    if it has, i'm getting out of here, unless of course a big earthquake fixes the problem!!

  17. Re:Bad for Pakistan on India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I doubt Pakistan can be happy at all about this development. It's one thing to have a nuke, another to be able to deliver it. This makes a first strike weapon from Hell. About the time you figure out the war is on....it's over.

    What keeps them to shoot each other then? IMHO is the effect that a first strike would cause on the striker itself, for example, if India strikes first, all the islamic world will come down on India, and if Pakistan launches it first, all the rest of the world will come down on them. As it alway has been, Nukes are more like a strategy weapon than a tactical one. You only have it to be able to threat your enemy not to kill him.

  18. Re:Really? on India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile · · Score: 1

    The summary (and article) are better than the headline. This isn't either: a) the first supersonic cruise missile; or b) the first maneuverable cruise missile. But it is, apparently, the first maneuverable supersonic cruise missile.

    Now they only need to attach lasers to their friggin heads!!

  19. Re:More like a flaw in statistics on Flaw In Emergency Response System May Have Killed Hundreds · · Score: 1

    It seems that the software downgraded to category B if the fall was larger than 6 feet regardless of other (category A) factors.

    e.g., the patient has been shot and stabbed and drowned and fell 8 feet so it's a category B now.

    That is a fault in the software.

    So it's simple to fix it. Just insert another question: "Is the person well ? Is he begging for his life? or does he look like he's dead?"

  20. Re:sounds cool but... on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    ...where the hell is my FLYING CAR !?

    due to the high energy demand of the flying car factories, we are focusing on a Cold Fusion Plant for a while...but I tell you that it'll be released before Duke Nukem Forever.

  21. Re:Not accurate on Father of the Frisbee Dies At 90 · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall watching a documentary that showed the frisbee being invented some time back in 1885 or 1886.

    ..Just look at his picture ..these are sure 1930's futuristic clothes! =D

  22. That is dumb... on Brain Surgery Linked To Sensation of Spirituality · · Score: 1

    I mean , if someone had to go through a brain surgery, it implies that his life was in danger somehow...
    People always tend to get more linked to religions if their lives are at stake...
    I know so for personal experience...

    The decrease on the number of pirates is not causing global warming! Correlation is not causation...

  23. Re:Well Documented on Statistical Analysis of U of Chicago Graffiti · · Score: 1

    ..... Now I know that I am more likely to come across a happy smile face than a sad face.

    Only if you live in the University of Chicago Library. =)

    I wonder how much the results would change in other places....

  24. In this case, on First Room-Temperature Germanium Laser Completed · · Score: 1

  25. Re:Corrupt cops act corruptly, film at 11 on Russian Whistleblower Cop Arrested · · Score: 1

    No matter how common abuses of power are, they should never ever become so mundane as to not be newsworthy.

    not in Russia... Seriously there's a lot of people who have died trying to speak out the problems in Russia... former military, journalists, and the list goes on...

    wait there's someone at the door......
