  1. Re:This won't fly. on Apple Hints At Future Liquid-Cooled Laptops · · Score: 5, Funny

    will the liquid make a mess as it leaks out?

    Wrong question.

    Will it blend?

  2. Re:Near death != death on Mad Scientist Brings Back Dead With "Deanimation" · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're either dead or you're not. It's rather binary. There's no continuum.

    Schrodinger's cat says hi. Or maybe he doesn't.

    probably an ancient rock star and not a shaman.

    Shamans were the rock stars of the day.

  5. Re:UDP and DHT are a nightmare on BitTorrent Calls UDP Report "Utter Nonsense" · · Score: 1

    Update your firmware and tweak your BT settings. I run the WRT54G and I get no problems whatsoever even with multiple torrents.

    here to help

    Which, despite your sarcasm, they did. Google's got enough eyeballs as it is, we don't need them scooping up near all of them.

  7. Re:From the summary: on MS Says Windows 7 Will Run DirectX 10 On the CPU · · Score: 2, Funny

    managed an average frame rate of 7.36fps, compared with 5.17fps

    But, but, that's like, a 42% improvement! That's like, massive, man! MS are awesome!

  8. Re:Immortality is scary on Scientists Identify a Potentially Universal Mechanism of Aging · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is hard to do - because you have to have decades of discipline.

    Yeah, because luck, genetics, connections, and plain old crime don't factor into it at all.

  9. Re:KGB or Spotty Teenagers? on Significant Russian Attack On US Military Networks · · Score: 1

    That Brit was a Red. He gave an interview to the Guardian.

    Hmmm, is that just a weak troll, or the ramblings of a reactionary still stuck in the 80s as far as political dogma goes?

    Ahhh, who cares, they're both full of suck!

    If they invested in high speed rail

    WHAAAT?!? This is America, you damn pinko commie! We don't do that shit here.

  11. Re:Not changing anything soon... on FAA Greenlights Satellite-Based Air Traffic Control System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I highly doubt that old fashioned radar is going anywhere soon.

    Not just that, but wouldn't it make more sense to run both systems concurrently for added redundancy and such?

  12. Re:How Music Used to Be on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    Meh. While I'm generally on your side (fave bands the Beatles and Led Zep for starters), looking at the ~500 4 and 5 star rated songs I have in iTunes that were released this millenium says that you're not looking hard enough.

  13. Re:Missed the boat + 10 years. on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    Missed the boat + 10 years.

    Fuck me, I hadn't even thought it had been that long. These guys aren't just stupid in the face of changing reality, they've been willfully stupid for over a decade on this issue. Oh well, their loss is Steve Job's gain, I guess.

  14. Re:True in the DJ world, too. on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what I love about Slashdot. It always ends up with somebody trumping someone else down to steampunk levels of technology.

  15. Re:What? Are you guys serious? on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    Thank you! As an avid music/movie/video game purchaser for several decades who's lived in several countries, I never, ever understood this. Like walking into Virgin on Oxford Street looking to buy the Dune soundtrack.

    "It's only available on import."

    What the fuck does that mean?

    "25% more than a regular CD"

    Oooo-kay...guess I'm the only Dune fan in all of London, eh?

  16. Re:Really? on 90% of Gaming Addiction Patients Not Addicted · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also, the "higher power" thing dosen't work for atheists.

    Doesn't really 'work' for the faithful either, but don't tell them! I like them confused.

  17. Re:My reply on Entertainment Software Association Following RIAA? · · Score: 1

    You are not liable for anything your users do on the network. If you are operating a service like youtube, you'd have a DMCA takedown request.

    Yeah, but if you saw subby's email address, you'd see his "organization" is the West Virginia government, so I'd wager things might be a little more complicated for him.

  18. Aw, c'mon on Spanish City Sets Up Solar Cemetery · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm sure a solar powered zombie movie is already in the works.

    Yeah, but I'm sure they'll figure out a way to incorporate the solar panels into weapons. Zombie BBQ!

  22. Re:Who's The Fool on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    Thanks to his convictions," he will not have a pension," Actually according to the cnn he will. He was grandfathered in. As in recently they made a new law that any new senators who are convicted of felony But since Stevens has been around since before that law. He still gets your money.

    Sweet Jesus, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

    Hey taxpayers! I'm a convicted criminal and you're paying my pension, bitches!

    Just shoot me now.

    Since GP used the word 'spectrum', your hypothesis is full of fail.

  24. Re:And for this bright idea... on Urine Passes NASA Taste Test · · Score: 2, Informative

    In the movie, the suits were black to suck up even more solar rays

    Which was stupid. The book clearly states the Fremen wearing light robes over the stillsuit, for better camouflage, and, yes, keeping cool.

  25. Re:Tell that to the guy on Urine Passes NASA Taste Test · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm sorry, but the miniseries was as bereft of life as Lynch's movie was blasphemous. Still waiting for the definitive version if you ask me (although extended cuts of the '84 movie are not bad). Still, got the book to read once a year.
