  1. First quantum asteroid found on Bizarre Six-Tailed Asteroid Dumbfounds Scientists · · Score: 1

    Everytime they observe it, it changes. If they would stop looking at it, the debris will stop.

    Down with the astronomers, they are destroying the asteroid.

  2. Paper Typewriter on How Did You Learn How To Program? · · Score: 1

    Started in 1981, summer course at a local college, programming BASIC on a typewriter interface using 11 x 17 fan fold paper. No idea what the computer was called. In the following summer, there was a single mono chrome video display. Still remember the noise of the dozen or so kids running the programs.

  3. Mayans on Drilling Begins At Lake Hidden Beneath Antarctic · · Score: 1

    The first results are going to be available next week. Hmmm. December 21st maybe.

    How did the Mayans know someone would drill through two miles of ice to release something that will destroy the world?

  4. Your example doesn't demonstrate the bug in question. The eyes in your example stop moving when I move the mouse cursor outside the window in IE 10.

  5. Waste Queue on Biogas To Power Experimental Microsoft Data Center · · Score: 1

    Example of Waste IN - Waste OUT.

  6. Re:NURP on WW2 Carrier Pigeon and Undecoded Message Found In Chimney · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the information.

    The original news article should have mentioned that. They would have had the number on the message ring.

    Used the Slashdot comment box with Chrome browser. I didn't use an external editor and I didn't check for \r\n or \n afterward.

  9. sosumi is the Class name for link on Apple Posts Non-Apology To Samsung · · Score: 1

    Did anyone happen to notice the class name for the div that contains the "Samsung/Apple UK judgment" link?

    It is sosumi. Wow. I wonder if the web editor will be held accountable for that.

    If you don't see it "so sue me".

  10. I restored the wrong backup on Amazon EBS Failure Brings Down Reddit, Imgur, Others · · Score: 1

    Amazon must have some wires crossed, Minecraft.net is now rendering the website Room Key.

  11. Small Basic on Learning Programming In a Post-BASIC World · · Score: 1

    There is Small Basic from Microsoft. http://smallbasic.com/

    From the website FAQ:

    Who is Small Basic for?
    Small Basic is intended for beginners that want to learn programming. In our internal trials we've had success with kids between the ages of 10 and 16. However, it's not limited to just kids; even adults that had an inclination to programming have found Small Basic very helpful in taking that first step.
