    I know Jesus. How hard can it be to rip out all the seats, and throw in some multicolored bean bags and a couple of Segways?

    Its easy peasy to decrypt random data.

    You just roll some dice, then use them as the key.

    Well done. You have out-nerded the nerd.

    You have won slashdot.

    This site will now close.

    Damn. I clicked the link. Thats 30 seconds of my life I wont get back.

    It wont be a problem. The carbon ribbon doesnt weigh much - and when 10,000 miles of silver foil lands on a town, someone will just open a beowulf cluster of christmas wrappping stores.

    Heh. Cooler than the suit with 'Lawyer' on the sleeve.

    Man. THAT would take some explaining if Mars was already occupied...

    Maybe people who have had the same homepage since they bought their machine and don't know how to change it.

    According to PhysOrg, physicists in Europe, California and at Ohio University now have found a way to manipulate the spin of an electron with a jolt of voltage from a battery

    Update: researchers are now stunned to discover they can manipulate the spin with a jolt of voltage of electricity from any source.

    Not just batteries.

    Yeah. And if we started cloning them, it'd be called 'mirroring'.

  20. Re:Seems like big news... on UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video · · Score: 1

    It a good productive use of the military's time and technology I think. From now on all wars should be decided without shooting. We could have a dance-off competition on the battlefield or something. Just make sure theres no morris dancers in the ranks and we'd gain immediate respect from any opposition forces.

    Personally, I think the greatest advance in light sabre technology came with the advent of rechargable batteries.

    It was a godsend to duelling Jedis, because they no longer had to plug them in while they were fighting...

  25. Re:its already possible? on Space Elevator Group to Open Nanotube Factory · · Score: 1

    Yeah they're well on the way. They've got the business plan, they've got the billions of dollars of funding and they've built the nanofactory.

    Now they just need to find some really tiny,tiny,tiny,tiny people to work inside. Maybe they could use trained ants? They wouldn't ask for much, maybe a grain of sugar a day tops.
