  1. recumbent postion on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i wonder why they went with the recombent position rather than a upright postion. i would imagine you get a little extra power upright. you're not worried about airdynamics when hovering also.

  2. product placements in shows on FCC Says TiVo Owners Can Share Shows · · Score: 1

    with all the product placements in Movies and Tv shows, why bother with television ads? the more the show is shared, with proper product placement, you get more exposure of your product, to your target demographic.

  3. Re:Gotham city on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    i figured "beyond thunderdome"would be more appropriate for Detroit

  4. Re:Well at least it's doing something! on Segway Revolutionizes Polo · · Score: 1

    i agree with you. this looks much cooler, for the same price

  5. cs lewis and jrr tolkien on Tolkien Vs. The Critics In 1954 · · Score: 5, Informative

    just a reminder of a great article about how close these two great writers were:

    tolkien and lewis

  6. Re:Humanoid Robots on LivingCreatures- The Beginning Of 'I, Robot?' · · Score: 1

    it didn't stop bill gates from stealing one. at least thats what was shown on Pirates of Silicon Valley

  7. Re:Inspired by Asimov? on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    probably the same off shore estate lawyers that screwed Dr. Seuss

  8. will wheaton on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    i'd like to see him in this movie. that would be awesome.

    i think he needs his own slashdot icon too.

  9. Re:I don't get it ... on SpaceshipOne's Control Problem Fixed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Rutan probably had to change the dial from "10" to "11"

    apt-get manga

  13. Re:And only 3 to 5 years before I can buy one... on 40" OLED Television Revealed at SID · · Score: 2, Funny

    i guess i've been married too long

  14. Re:Be sure to watch the videos. on Using a 747 to Fight Wildfires · · Score: 1

    ÿuÿuÿuÿuÿuÿuÿÐEü...À|uE...ÀuEVPèÆæÿÿj$ézðÿÿj$èyð ÿ&#255 ;j

    poor server

  15. Re:Spiderman, Spiderman.... on Metal Velcro · · Score: 1

    i'd like to see this show up on the David Letterman Show, but i guess he'd have a hard time peeling off his guests from the wall of velcro

  16. Re:As a former Emergency Medical Technician on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 1

    i think if you can market it correctly, it would work. such as "get the RFID tag, and get a free pen" it's amazing what people would do for silly stuff.

  17. uses in the ER on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 1

    i can see the ER docs clamoring for this. they won't have to actually talk to the patients as the ambulance pulls them in to the parking lot. the patient record will pop right up on their handy dandy tablet PC without asking. now if there was an implantable etoh meter too

  18. Re:"...very cool look" on Sony PC/DVR Incorporates 7 Tuners & 1TB HD · · Score: 2, Funny

    So that's what happened to the Mothra Girls!

    i won't buy games until it comes out on Duke Nukem

  22. how they imbed the can on GPS Cell Phone in Soda Can Form · · Score: 1

    my wife's cousin worked for Pepsi, and apparently he got to imbed the winning cans or bottles in stores and supermarkets. what he did was go and buy a sixpack, then return the thing with the contents changed. this was a few years ago, so i don't know how it would stand up to the Patriot Act.

  23. look down a few posts on Best PDA To Read e-Texts On? · · Score: 3, Informative

    zaurusis what you are looking for.

  24. Re:I used to LOVE to play on Video Games - Lost in Translation? · · Score: 1

    "But there is neither East nor West ... When two strong men stand face to face."

  25. Re:Surprised by Wealth! Then by Total Loss! on OpenIPO and Lindows · · Score: 1
