  1. Aircraft contrails? on Water Vapor Causing Climate Warming · · Score: 1

    I think global warming is being fueled by aircraft contrails. I would like to see this correlated with temperature changes in the days following 9/11 when the aircraft were forced to stop. Since all these artificial clouds are being created on a daily basis, I am sure they are either reflecting heat out back into space, back to earth, or both.

  2. Re:Baffling! on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    This post, and others like it, are data, but not information. Now, if the stars are in alignment, this post will be ironically moderated "informative".

  3. Re:Hang on a minute on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    You can track down the animal like in "Alien". 5 meters...4....3....get out of there!!

  4. Good idea! on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this would have stopped the chaos that happened in Jurassic Park. All right then -- I'm off to write an e-mail to those British scientists who want to introduce lions and elephants into North America and buy stock in RFID chip makers!

  5. The real question on Muzak Encoding at Home? · · Score: 1

    "How do I rip muzak discs to mp3?"

  6. Linus Torvalds' Solution on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Upload it to the internet and let the world mirror it.

  7. Voice of God on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 4, Funny

    "And for the last time, stop playing with yourself!" "It is God."

  8. Re:And if it was.... on Is This the Holodeck? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, Slashdot is just a simulation. And dupes are just "glitches in the matrix".

  9. Re:Oy Vey on When Microbes Ate the Ocean · · Score: 1

    I think that is...

    1) Sunlight + Microbes == Hydrogen
    2) Form religion based on #1
    3) Profit!!!

  10. I sense... on Hacking the Fluorescent Light · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I sense a large number of Star Wars related accidents in the not too distant future.

  11. Re:P2P on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    Mod this up! After all, that IS how they got Al Capone.

  12. And heard somewhere, about 10 years later... on 190 Million Year Old Dinosaur Embyro · · Score: 2, Funny

    "This is a UNIX system! I know this!"

  13. I'm not dead yet... on FreeBSD Status Report for 2005 Q2 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What? BSD is still alive? You mean all the stuff I read on slashdot isn't true?

  14. Re:Ethernet over Power? on IP Telephony Drives in Power over Ethernet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Finally! The fabled perpetual motion machine!

  15. Time to... on Researchers Create 3-Dimensional Chips · · Score: 1

  18. Well... on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 1

    "The natural product of the fusion reaction is a small amount of helium, which is completely harmless to life and does not contribute to global warming. "
    I for one welcome our high-pitched French-speaking overlords.

  19. Re:USB HD on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    I was looking for something more "embeddable". I'm currently doing something similar, and don't really like the noise from the power supply, the electric bill, or the heat. I'm looking (like all of us) for a small linux type thing about the size of a router or something. D-Link does something quite nice, but it would currently only write to FATs. Too bad - it looks like it stalled. Guess I'm getting too picky...

  20. Re:USB HD on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    Anyone have recommendations for a cheap NAS? I would think that they should eventually be down as cheap as $20 (i.e. as cheap as a USB enclosure), but they seem to be much, much higher.

  21. yes... on FDA Rejects Artificial Heart · · Score: 1

    But did it run Linux?
    Commence comments stating, "of course not, it ran Windows!"

  22. Of course. on Flash Drives in Future Apple Laptops? · · Score: 1

    In the future, everything will have flash drives. The question is, of course, how far in the future. These will show up on the apple when the flash drives become a commodity item.

  23. Re:MS Office on KOffice 1.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Oasis in MS office could have been done a lot sooner, but the Gallagher brothers kept fighting.

  24. Re:Obvious missing item... on How to Become A Real-World Superhero · · Score: 1

    Even though it may be considered bad form to reply to your own post, I wanted to make it clear that the above song sample is a sample from an original work, and that the character referred to as "Batman!!" has no relationship, resemblance, or anything else to the comic book/motion picture "Batman" (no double exclamation points).
    Man, this world sucks nowadays. The law doesn't allow anyone to have fun anymore.

  25. Obvious missing item... on How to Become A Real-World Superhero · · Score: 1

    Every superhero needs a catchy theme song.
    Na na na na na na na na na na na na Batman!!
    P.s. I may be wrong on the number of "na"s above.
