  1. Hmmm.... on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 5, Interesting

    hmm...things to remember:
    1. if a time travel came back in time and altered the past, no one would know but him/her.
    2. it is impossible to prove that our recorded history now is the same as it was 1 second ago due to rule number 1.
    3. You may be caught in a temporal causality loop, doomed forever to repeat the same period of time over and over.
    4. If time is an expression of entropy, then the only way to travel through time is to prefectly reverse entropy, which is impossible because, iirc, entropy is chaotic.
    5. If the universe is nonlinear, or rather, linear is an illusion, then there is no past or future to travel to, but only the present wich exists at any instant as a snapshot in the cascade towards greater entropy.
    6. The universe is moving towards a state of pure heat, at which time entropy will cease, as all engery, which drives entropy, will have been used. if you intend to travel through time by altering the universe around you, then you can not go past this point, or ever return. if you time travel by using internal independent means, then you may travel past this point, but you would no longer have any external means of measuring the passage of time in the universe. To time travel through external means you must increase the general entropy of the universe such that all events happen faster outside your time machine. to travel through time internaly you must slow down your own entropy. in both instances you must phase away from the universe such that you do not exist in it, lest you collide with something going faster than you can percieve.
    7 If time is a seperate dimension then you must find a way to travel in the direction that is forwards or backwards from where you are now. 4 dimensional travel occurs at a steady, measurable rate. As you approach the speed of light, this rate of passage decreases. Thus, it is logical to assume that by exceeding the speed of light in our universe of spacetime you would travel backwards in time.
    8. You may be your own great great grandparent.
    9. If you change your own past you can not go back to your own future to reap the benifits because the new future would have a new you to match it.
    10. Journeyman Project is t3h roxors!!!!!

  2. And this is why... on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Adobe fears MS?

    They spend nearly $4Billion to buy Macromedia, and MS comes out with the half-crap document format??

    Honestly now, someone go slap some sense into Adobe, MS will never be able to make even a dent in Adobe's market share.

  6. Apple has had this for years on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 0

    Ive worked with OSX Server since it first came out. and it has always had control over 3 types of media: HD,CD,External and for each you can set to either deny access totaly, make read only, or require authentication to access. Microsoft is just slow on the uptake.

  7. two cards, half the price? on NVIDIA Gives Details On New GeForce 6 · · Score: -1, Troll

    is this saying that we can pay 500 for a single whoop ass card, or 400 for two cards that dont whoop quite as much ass? how about combining two 500 dollar cards, eh?

  10. I Know What I Am, Do You Know What You Are? on Uniquely Bright: Experiences and Tips? · · Score: 0

    Ive got an IQ of 135, do i brag about it, no, why, cuz i dont think its anything special. I Graduated From high school this year with less than a 2.0, do i make excuses for it? no, i know why i ended up with my grades, and acknowledge my laziness when it comes to school. Ive know one thing realy well, computers. That is a relative fact. Relative to joe schmoe, im a friggin genius, relative to the average slashdotter, I know next to nothing. Im going to college to, i know what im capable of, and i know what i want to do, and thats all that anyone needs to worry about going to college. Coming here and talking like your some kind of unsung genius is not a good thing, makes you look pretentious, and no one likes pretentious people. BTW, go with a career that cant be outsourced, thats what im doing. There isnt jack squat some guy in india can do for the average worker-bee when their hard drive goes ZZZZTPOPKERPOOP!

    I think the submitter of this story was trying to get them slashdotted, to make them pay!

  13. Slashdotted on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    All you insensitive clods slashdotted them, what do you think this is going to do to them, huh?? Now no one can get to the site! And dont give me any of that google cache crap either. Click Responsibly people.

    Its only a matter of time until some parent decides to sue the school over the 'health risks' of RF radiation. ?Deja Vu?

  15. We Have Nothing To Fear... on Phoenix Bios to Incorporate DRM · · Score: 1

    Just because Big Brother will be able to look inside our PC's and know every which program we have installed, is no reason for concern. Everything that Big Brother does is for OUR good, Big Brother will protect us from all those software/movie/music/ebook pirating evil doers out there. WE ALL LOVE BIG BROTHER.

  17. Penis on The Economics Of Spamming · · Score: 1

    I get two - three of these penis spams a day, despite my best efforts to get them stopped. i just want to go up to thier corporate HQ and tell them my penis is plenty big enouhg :)

  18. Its Too Bad.... on Innovative Uses for a Computer Classroom? · · Score: 1

    Its to bad you dont have a mac lab, with those it is much harder bypass the restrictions on what you can and cant do, not to mention the difficulty of damaging the actual software. However, i would reccomend you make sure your machines are using Deep Freeze, as it resets the machine to a predefined state at every boot, so if you get a virus or a bunch of p2p software, you just reset and it is gone, it is also very convenient, as you can defrost a drive for one boot, and can set a non protected area, so students can save documents localy.

  19. Re:You Own the Bits, Not the Music on Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking? · · Score: 1

    how about this, if there is something you want, but cant own, just get a liscense to it, then what you should do is get a virgin *ITEM TYPE* creator that has never experienced the product to recreate it, then you would own an original version of whatever.
