  6. Re:Dumb Idea on Printing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    But not printing it would deprive the developing world of such wonders as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

  7. Re:Another measure of equality? on UK Female Sci-Fi Viewers Now Outnumber Males · · Score: 1

    Let me assist women viewers in being equal. NERDS! Oh wait that's me too, d'oh!

  10. Re:How it works on Windows XP on Fingerprint Recognition with Linux & IBM's T42 · · Score: 1

    I also have a T42 and I've since disabled the finger print scanning due to problems with the hit-miss ratio of reading my prints.

    My money is on vein scanning or iris scanning.

    Look at the original Star Trek, or look at Farscape... or B5 or Firefly or ...

    A milk carton with four square holes and you could have had a real cool self directing robot to show your friends.

  16. HA! (do one episode at least) on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 3, Funny

    It would be hilarious to watch at least one episode with all the voice talent replaced with "distictive" character/voiceover actors all mis-cast into the classic roles.

    I see it now Michael Dorn as Homer..

  17. guerilla advertising on Mobile Wifi Backpack · · Score: 1

    Since the island goes nowhere.

    Use it as guerilla advertising.

    Make the Wi-Fi base station insecure, pump up the output with a good antenna and set the DNS to redirect all traffic to your portable web site (that's in the back pack).

    Walk the backpack into an area that requires you to "pay" for WiFi and you'll have a captive audience of the cheap crowd.

    On the Internet nobody knows your a dog.

  19. Re:MiB3 on I, Robot Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    yep.

    WTF did they name it I Robot for if it has nothing to do with the book.. oh wait a ready made market for one I guess. I'll probably go see it anyway because it does look good but nope I don't see any similarity to the book.

    That is just an excellent piece of engineering.

  21. Re:Better control experiment... on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    My concern with RFID (theft tags aside) is that someone with an RFID scanner will know exactly how much I am carrying in my wallet.

    I can see it now all future pick pockets will prescan you before lifting your wallet.

  22. Re:First time for mammals on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, but who gets to clean the cage?

    Mr. don't lick the toad, it's wild and it will ride you.

  25. Re:not so fast.... on Robotic Gliders Soar Underwater · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since the Navy has been backing it I'd say that this is autonomous sensor or worse autonomous weapon. So swimmin' with the fishies is not at the top of their priorities.
