  1. Re:I read the title wrong... on Russian Meteor Likely an Apollo Asteroid Chunk · · Score: 1

    I wondered why I hadnt heard much about Tom Hanks (Apollo 13) lately.

  2. Re:SG-1 on Russian Meteor Likely an Apollo Asteroid Chunk · · Score: 2

    No no, this is much more likely a Zerg attack to publicize the upcoming Starcraft 2 Expansion, inspired by their Starship troopers brethren.

  3. Sigh... on Dutch Court Says Android 2.3 Violates Apple Patents · · Score: 1

    Yet another reason not to listen to people who wear wooden shoes.

  4. Re:Double D Certified on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    I believe they originated in Dallas, contact a woman named Debbie for details....

  5. The School of Hard Knocks on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    A Cert in Common Sense will mean more to a good employer than a fancy piece of paper stating you are good at taking a test, of course demonstrating that you have common sense and experience in the field in which they need you will greatly depend on your references, there was a time that an A+ cert would get you in the door to almost anywhere with a good salary, but post .com tech industry there are fewer and fewer certs that aren't already saturated in the job pool, but a lot of those people have little to no real experience. Cisco certs are always good to have, but rightly difficult to obtain the higher tier you are shooting for, IIRC dell has a program where you can get help in getting certs that will help expand your knowledge base as long as they can utilize the skill set you wish to learn.

  6. Phase 1 on Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 2

    Gain funding by selling virtual game currencies to the online public through farming/hacking game accounts and the like.

  7. Re:Oh this totally sucks on Scientists Design Barcode System For Zebras · · Score: 2

    Ah but think of how much money you will save on latex gloves now.

  8. Re:University of Illinois at Chicago on Scientists Design Barcode System For Zebras · · Score: 3, Funny

    This may be the first time in the history of slashdot where a link to pictures of animals wasn't a trap

  9. Re:It'll never work on Scientists Design Barcode System For Zebras · · Score: 1

    Thats why they made hand scanners

  10. So now on Scientists Design Barcode System For Zebras · · Score: 2

    You really can tell a Zebra by its stripes? Or is that tigers...

  11. The cop forgot on Sex Offender Claims Police Entrapped Him With Animated Emoticons · · Score: 1

    Apparently the cop forgot to use his [imreallyacop] emoticon, I can see why he felt entrapped, those pixels are just irresistible. /sarcasm

  12. Re:Link Redirect loop? on Join a Worldwide Planet Search · · Score: 2

    its called the slashdot effect.

  13. Re:Big Deal on Scientists Turn Skin Into Blood · · Score: 1

    Well you saw they were going to be starting testing in 2012 right, maybe it will get put off till december....

  14. A true breakthrough on Scientists Turn Skin Into Blood · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now if we can just get the Crips to turn into bloods we may actually have something useful.

  15. Re:Flashbacks.... on 250-Foot Hybrid Airship To Spy Over Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Or possibly Titanic, except its not the ship thats sinking its our natational debt.

  16. Flashbacks.... on 250-Foot Hybrid Airship To Spy Over Afghanistan · · Score: 0, Troll

    My first thought when i saw this article was Hindenburg......

  17. The great search on Emergency Alert System Insecure · · Score: 1

    Damnit this means I'm going to have to dig through my spare parts for my old dialup modem, and I swore it would never see the light of day again.

  18. Re:Please note on OO.org Selects Its Own Sea Bird · · Score: 1

    Might I ad it will point students in the right direction about OSS and also allow for more students to have experience with office software, and since they can get it for free they will be more likely to get it on their home computer as well so they are using the same working environment at home and school.

  19. Re:Pun on on OO.org Selects Its Own Sea Bird · · Score: 1

    I didnt see any coconuts so I think we would be safe...

  20. Re:Sim City 2000 on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    Does this mean i gatta watch out for alien invastions too? I knew i shouldnt have bribed the city councel to allow gambling...

  21. Re:Does the metal become more dense? on Small Change, and Other Physics Fun · · Score: 0

    This would be somewhat similar to the pressures exerted onto a lump of coal to create diamons, every piece of matter has alot of airspace between its atoms, the great force created here is simply squeezing some of it out creating a denser object.

  22. Re:Universal Battery Replacement? on Hand-Powered Hardware? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You forgot the most essential DIY tools, Duct Tape and Bailing wire..

  23. Half-Life 2 Source on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    This sort of arguement arose when the Half-Life 2 source code was leaked, Although they do not beleive that it is right to feed the corperate machines with money they will never see profit from (such as a guy dl's photoshop because he just wants to play around with it but never make a profit with any work done on it) they do beleive that the source code of closed source material should stay that way as it is a direct attack on the complete work, one could say that while Joe Smhoe downloads the Windows Longhorn alpha and uses it on his box he is still not infringing on the hard work of the programmers and the money that m$ has spent to develope it because he will never buy it, he would have never bought it where as the source code is the direct reflection of the work of a programmer which will inevetably be reused by someone without their idea of moral direction. That photographer doesnt feel he should pay for something he wont profit from, now while the company may not like that and if they were to catch him would have every right to prosecute, the guy with the source code to that app is 1000x more dangerious because he can use it as he sees fit. Well enough of my rambling...

  24. Can't wait.... on TruSonic Uses MP3.com Catalog As Muzak · · Score: 1

    I can't wait till i hear the first politician get up and publicly denounce the "violence enstewed by elevator rap music"

  25. Re:Not so sure... on Paul Mockapetris On The Future of DNS · · Score: 1

    DNS is great in it's hierarchal nature- one can simply delagate domains to another server, which keeps what ever DNS is managing the root (like slashdot.org.) from getting overloaded with requests.

    To bad the links posted to slashdot don't have that kind of protection....
