  1. Re:Or, instead on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    I happened to see an article in PCGamer about the Voodoo Rage F-50. The whole friggin case is a heatsink. Not a single fan. Make customizing hard, but hey, its silent.

  2. Re:Negating Sound? Its like new cars.... on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wait, how do you know that the chicks will come? DO you have.. experience? You don't belong here! WE do not know of these chicks...

  3. Re:Huh. on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    Heh, try having a ball of cat fur wrapped in the fan. I was wacking that thing all the time. Started to hurt my hand. Thank god that computer's in the basement, where it stays 60F or less, and its such a low end celeron it makes barely any heat.

  4. Re:Um, so?.... on Swarm of Cicadas Takes Aim at U.S. · · Score: 1

    Only the fact that instead of a lot of them, there's going to be a whole friggin ton of them, dying and leaving crunchy skins everywhere...

  5. Re:Its the law on Harlan Ellison vs. AOL Judgment Reversed · · Score: 1

    Ok, this is total flaimbait, but I'll bite. Would you rather have even more of your money spent on communal living for kids in ophanages? What about spending money to enforce an abortion ban? If the parents know that there is a place for their kids to go, they won't be forced to abort, and the Monkey in the white house might not be so forceful about invading privacy. Would you rather have it spent on aids research? If they are a couple, they're less likely to be spreading it. Futhermore, how much would it actually cost you? I don't remember discounts meaning YOU have to pay more. Think next time!

  6. Re:Siblings on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 1

    Beware though. The learners may soon become the masters and overthrow you. *Evil Laugh* My brother will never know what happened.

  7. MOD Parent UP on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 1

    This was true, and the movie sounded quite insightful. Probably a good thing to see about now.

  8. Are you nuts? on Sam & Max Sequel Canceled · · Score: 1

    Did you even play the games? All of them? Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island 4? They were not hard, and had me laughing my socks off at every oppertunity! I even grew to care about the characters, and the drama ( more so in Grim Fandango) that they endured. These games were terrific, and Lucas Arts should review the decision. I have played Sam and Max hit the road. It was, witout a doubt, hilarious! There were gags hidden into every little thing in the games. There was even a mini-game where you tried to sneak across the border to mexico! I think that the market is definatly ready for a new one, especially in 3D. I wanted to see what they made of the Vortex. I guess now I'll never get that chance....

  9. Woweee! on Robosapien: Latest Toy Robot From Mark Tilden · · Score: 1

    Here that sound? Its the sound of a server having its plug pulled by a kung-fu robot ninja.

  10. Re:Indirect harm on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I read slashdot all the time, yet still manage to get in at least 4000 yards at swim practice. Sometimes even 7000.

  11. Re:Just Great on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Except theat the guy is named Mike Rowe. so, add a soft to the end of that, and whadda ya get? Mike Rowe Soft.

  12. Re:never should have been left to rot on Saturn V Fallen on Hard Times · · Score: 1

    I went to Space Camp in Huntsville last year, and although the town is kind of dead and empty, the Center is full of activity. The real Saturn V is still on its side, with its different stages spread out a little to show the different parts. There is also a Saturn V replica that is upright, right next to the road. Truly an awe-inspiring sight.

  13. Re:It would be interesting... on Hitchhiker's Guide Film Reports · · Score: 1

    I'm a teen here in the "land of the free" and a freshie in highschool, yet, even I have heard of THHGTTG! I've read all the books, Salmon of Doubt, watched the BBC version, and listened to the radio play. Every single version had my laughing like mad.

  14. Re:red and green on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 0

    You are correct.

  15. red and green on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Looks good! I don't really see why you put up those red and green pictures though. I don't think many people get those out of their cerial boxes anymore... Wait.. What's this? OOO, stereo glasses! Cool!

  16. MOD PARENT UP! on A Return Of The King Review · · Score: 1

    This guy has some great points!

  17. Re:No, no on Scientists Freeze Pulse Of Light · · Score: 1

    No no, silly. This way, once they slow down all the light in the universe, we'll constantly be going faster than light! This brings up a point. Since they slowed light, doesn't that mean something could move faster than it?

  18. Help him out on Man Arrested for 'Spam Rage' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sure, this guy did go a little over board, but he had every right to. How bout a link or email or something? We could show this company what real spam is... the slashdot effect!

  19. Re:More at the Houston Chronicle on Man Arrested for 'Spam Rage' · · Score: 1

    Hmm... that company have a web site? Post it up here, and we'll see if we can give this guy a hand...

  20. Re:Nonsense on Simcity Microwave Power by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Horrific costs and risks??? Since when? Well, yeah, it does cost a bit, but horrific risks? You're safer in space than in a lot of places on Earth! Jeez... Horrific risks... Try Iraq. Or the White House.

  21. Re:Let's not let computers get too smart on Man Vs Machine In Chess - Who Is Winning? · · Score: 1

    But see, in chess, you cannot simply "kill" an opponent. Furthermore, I doubt a machine designed to analize positions and movements of units that are directly math related could make the jump to wanting to "kill" its opponent.

  22. Human advantage on Man Vs Machine In Chess - Who Is Winning? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One thing that will keep people on top for a while is our inconsistancies. A computer works on logic, and can usually be predicted to do something. People, on the other hand, are spontanious, and use a different kind of logic. We also take risks that do not make sense. But if something is crazy enough, it could trick a computers. Because computers do not lie. They cannot lay traps and they cannot bluff.

  23. Cause of wackiness. on What's Wacky with Google? · · Score: 1

    I think part of why changing the order of the words affects it is because Google doesn't search like other engines do. Other engines look for keywords only. Google looks for key words in certain combinations and sites that have a lot of links that match it's terms.

  24. Adios on Galileo, Consumed by Jupiter · · Score: 1

    It was a great time! I Salute you, Galalaeo! ps, nominate galalaeo for TIME person of the year!

  25. Re:probes die, shuttles die quicker on Goodbye, Galileo · · Score: 1

    sure, there's problems with the shuttle. we do need a new one. but we cant just give up on manned space flight. What if the Wright brother's had given up on building a flying machine because it was too risky? Everything's risky. You can just sit at home and wait to die of age, or you can get out there and do something worthwhile. I might get killed doing something worthwhile, but hey, I'd rather die doing something than sitting at home waiting for death to come. Astronaughts know the risks. They know its dangerous. The dead would not want us to give up manned space flight.
