  1. Seriously? on EVE Online Scandal Deliberate Frame-Job? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Come on guys. Goon Fleet. That's all that needs to be said.

  2. Wrong way to go there, Goldman on Report of Net Art Theft Draws Lawyer Threats · · Score: 1

    I'd be much more worried about what the legions of goons are going to do to him outside of court.

  3. Swiss banks Swiss government on Sweden Admits Tapping Citizens' Phones for Decades · · Score: 0, Troll

    One would think their government would be more secure than their banks are.

  4. Re:It's not nice to fool with mother nature... on Suppressed Report Shows Cancer Link to GM Potatoes · · Score: 1

    It doesn't have to be perfect, we just have to know which groups of genes do as a wholet, and that's a fairly simple process in comparison to having the whole thing perfect. More testing than you'd believe is done anything that's intended to go to market - and Russian scientists are not exactly known for following community standards in regards to research. After reading the paper and the guy's website, it almost sounds like the report was made just to cause sensationalism. And guess what? You've been eating "GM" crops for years. People have been using selective breeding on pretty much all forms of harvestable plant (and animal) life to increase crop yields, disease and climate resistance, and pest control since at least Roman times.

  5. Sounds like a hacker's paradise on Bionic Eye Could Restore Vision · · Score: 1

    We must find the frequencies this uses and take over them. Soon, all will see butts!

  6. Theories based on theories.... on Atom Smasher May Create "Black Saturns" · · Score: 1

    I predict the universe is made up of tiny ice breathing dragons. After all, nothing invalidates it so far. Theories are great, especially theories based on facts. Theorizing on unproved theories based on knowledge we don't really understand nor have the technology to adequately gather is setting yourself up for failure, though. Basically, don't jump the gun.

  7. Who did it? on Who Killed the Webmaster? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It was the head of HR, in the server room, with the ethernet cable.

  8. There's a simpler way on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If companies know the means of advertising (i.e. malware) are illegal, why aren't we going after the companies that use such methods? Admittedly, some viagra knock off company in Mexico is difficult to go after, but wouldn't it be easier to get rid of these intrusive networks by cutting off any reason for them to exist?

  9. Wait a minute... on RIAA Goes after LimeWire · · Score: 2, Funny

    So why aren't we suing the RIAA for giving us the music in the first place, thus allowing the music to be pirated?

  10. Re:Not being a chemist on Hydrogen Fuel Balls from a Gas Pump? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Palladium is also prohibitively expensive and rare.

  11. Re:Maybe they observed wrong? on Quantum Trickery - Einstein's Strangest Theory · · Score: 1

    Of course, hence why everything is tested and tested and tested. But how would you tell something like this without directly observing it?

  12. Re:Maybe they observed wrong? on Quantum Trickery - Einstein's Strangest Theory · · Score: 1

    Of course "observing" any of this would be extremely difficult.

  13. Maybe they observed wrong? on Quantum Trickery - Einstein's Strangest Theory · · Score: 1

    Isn't it possible that they just observed individual electrons within the cloud giving the illusion of spinning in opposite directions? It would mean that they were able to "focus" the elctrons so to speak instead of having them fly around haphazardly, still a big break, but that sounds extremely...well. I don't know what it sounds like. It sounds confusing.

  14. Re:photons on Using Diamonds to Create Unhackable Code · · Score: 1

    Doh, woops.

  15. A few questions... on Using Diamonds to Create Unhackable Code · · Score: 1

    Two questions: One, would it be possible to "detect" these signals via extremely sensitive magnetic equipment? After all, they are a charged particle, as such they would have (albeit very small) a charge. Two, wouldn't forming a "ring" of protons (any shape would work really), be much more efficient? You'd still know if it had been intercepted since the shape would differ from that of the original message.

  16. Better hire a lawyer on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uh oh, now that it's been slashdotted we can expect a lawsuit from Monster Cables any time now...

  17. Re:easier solution on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 1

    Uh oh, Monster Cable is bound to find out now. Here comes a lawsuit.

  18. Re:Size matters? on Linux will have 20% desktop market share by 2008? · · Score: 1

    The only problem with that is that you lose jobs... Of course, companies generally aren't thinking about the economy when they decide to lay off hundreds of people. And as Linux grows more popular the people who do know it now won't be able to charge as much for their services.
