  1. Dolly and Arthritus on Scientists Clone Horse · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I wonder how long this horse will live. Dolly didnt live very long because she had stunted telomeres and I am pretty sure that this horse's telomeres are stunted also.

  2. Re:Congo on Sign Language Out Loud · · Score: 0

    The book Congo by Micheal criton had a gorilla that had a glove. Had to clarify because i messed up the copy and paste on the other post.

  3. Congo on Sign Language Out Loud · · Score: 0

    Micheal Criton the gorilla had a glove that did the same thing.

  4. Grammar Checking on What's Missing from Free Software? · · Score: 0

    I would really like to see better Grammar check support in OO.

  5. Suse running on IBM on IBM Clinches Security Certification for Linux · · Score: 0

    The article seems to imply that only Linux running on IBM computers and SuSE Linux have been certified. Is the certification *any* distro running on IBM and SuSE running on *any* computer or is it just SuSE running on IBM?

  6. The grammar of your post is annoying on A Central Repository for Virus Information? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I thought slashdot didnt allow posts authored by people who cannot use english correctly.

  7. 5% of people crash more than twice a day on Gates Provides Windows Crash Statistic · · Score: 1

    The other 95% just dont feel the need to click the report button.

  8. No more fingers in the nose on Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess this might motivate nosepickers to stop such an ugly and disgusting habit.

  9. Re:Software Alternatives on Managing Multiple User Profiles in Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    That would mean paying more money again, so Linux still sounds (and is) like a better alternative.

  10. Software Alternatives on Managing Multiple User Profiles in Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    Mabye I am wrong, but I think novell makes something that would manage users?

  11. Use Linux on Managing Multiple User Profiles in Windows XP? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    It is much easier for multiple user scenarios like yours.

  12. Re:Who the heck IS Harry Potter? on Harry Potter's Zelda-Influenced Philosophy · · Score: 1

    You obviously arent a kid but you seem to think that you know exactly what kids think about this book series. You can't talk about the whole population's perception of a book. I liked the books even though im not a child. The series isnt overhyped. Well.... I geuss it is but the books are very good for all ages. (there is even an adult edition here in Britain.)

  13. Radeon 9500 on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 1

    The drivers on the ati website are in rpm format and only work with xfree 4.2. I have 4.3. Is it possible to use the 4.2 rpm for 4.3? I doubt it though.

  14. I have AS on PDD, Asperger, and Geek Syndrome? · · Score: 1

    I have asperger's Syndrome. I read the wired article a while ago. I think that this geek link is very valid. Of all the people with AS that I know, most of them are geeks in some way because of the nature of the disease. I wrote an article about it when I was 15 and it is posted on a website:

  15. Re:SCO says IBM helping terrorists on IBM Responds To SCO: Business As Usual · · Score: 1

    DO THEY HAVE ANY PROOF THAT TERRORISTS USE LINUX? We already know that terrorists use windows (the 911 terrorists checked their email on Windows NT computers in northern Virginia. I havent heard any stories about linux. (That doesnt mean there arent any) (I have been to the library that the 911 guys used and all the computers had NT.

  16. Space race on Chinese Manned Space Flight Set For Autumn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A wise man once said "Space should not be a race It should be a journey" :-P

  17. Homicide. So this guy committed murder? on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1

    Now if someone else plans to murder someone with a vehicle, they should know to use an older car without airbags. Could a law person please tell me if vehicular homicide is murder and not manslaughter?

  18. PENGUIN TOYS on Penguins Stuck In Infinite Loop · · Score: 1

    How is this news? Toy stores have for many years been selling devices that make little penguins go around in circles. :P I wonder where they got the idea? (last sentance is not sarcastic but an actual question i have)

  19. Wynton Marsalis on What Jazz Records Would You Reccommend? · · Score: 1

    I like wynton marsalis and glen miller.

  20. Re:"Junk DNA" == Data stashes? on Convergence of Biology and Computers? · · Score: 1

    You mean the noncoding regions?

  21. How DNA computers will work on Convergence of Biology and Computers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember learning about RNA translation and PCRs in 9th grade biology. I thought the link between dna and computers was interesting so I did a search and found a Howstuffworks.com article entitled "how dna computers will work" http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dna-computer.htm
