  2. Re:Transistor Breaks 600 Gigahertz on Experimental Transistor Breaks 600 Gigahertz · · Score: 5, Funny

    Terahertz transistors, indium phosphides, indium gallium arsenide, compositionally graded collectors, bases and emitters, reduced transit time and improved current density... And a pseudomorphic heterojunction bipolar transistor with speeds of 604 gigahertz.....

    At times like this I like to leave a slashdot page open on articles and walk away from my computer.

    Anybody walking past my computer looks at the screen and thinks 'JESUS! How clever is that guy?'

    I thought Windows already supported distributed computing straight out of the box?

    I heard the windows equivalent to Beowulf clusters were called 'Botnets'.

  6. Re:Countermeasures? on Color Laser Printers Tracking Everything You Print · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ive never had a problem. When I need to make first contact with my associates in the form of anonymous letters, I usually use cut out pieces of lettering from recent newspapers and magazines then haphazardly glue them onto copier paper with egg white or floured water.

    I think most old school kidnappers use the same technique.
    the younger ones obviously use email.

    Teacher: *Slap* Thats enough. Principals office now!

  8. Re:laws on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 5, Funny

    As expected, the lawyers are coming out.

    I'm no follower of Debbie Harry either, but dragging the poor guy into court for being a fan is going too far.

    They should be cracking down on real criminals.

    J Lo fans.

  14. Re:Is this really that bad? on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 2

    theres a piece of software available for the nokia 7650. you can leave the phone hidden somewhere and send it a text message from another phone.

    the nokia takes a photograph on reception of the text then sends the pic to the sender. im sure it would just as easy to transmit audio. and maybe sometime in the future -video.

    theres also an application which i use regulaly which converts the phone to an IR remote for TVs and CD players.

    Its only a small stretch of the imagination that a package could be developed that potentially remotely receive IR data, from a laptop say, and record that.

  15. Re:lol on Custom DVDs & Players For Academy Members · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, all a pirate would need is a fastscan wide screen TV and a video camera to make a distributable copy.

    They could sit at the end of the room and just rip it straight to DVD-R from the camera.

    For the authenticity of a cinema rip however, it would be necessary to have people walk past the TV eating popcorn every few minutes, slurping sprite and coughing regularly through the soundtrack.

    It would be a trivial task to add out of focus Japanese subtitles later using a standard mpeg editor.
