  1. Re:Move over VOIP.. on Operation Moon Bounce · · Score: 1

    I was expecting a higher frequency of puns like this one.

  2. What's to say... on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    ... they don't find us first?

  3. Re:And get paid 40% less? No thanks. on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 1

    Well, in the US you can't technically be an "Engineer" unless you're licensed by the National Society of Professional Engineers, but that doesn't really seem to stop people much.

  4. Re:Thank God!! on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 2

    Well of course, your argument makes perfect sense! What better than to let the US Government revoke citizenships without a trial because some guy on Slashdot thinks it's cheaper that way and somehow more exemplary of the values of our Constitution?

  5. Schiessbude on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...appears to be a carnival shooting game... or something.

  6. Re:We'll finally be secure when 802.11z comes out on Security evaluation of 802.11i · · Score: 0

  11. Sharp Actius on More 3D Displays to Come · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you click on the Sharp Actius RD3D link and then click "Where to Buy", they show you the direct-from-the-manufacturer cost and allow you to purchase it.

    If it's worth it, I'd buy it. It's running at $2,999.00 at this moment. Can't really tell if it's worth it by looking at a picture of it over the Internet, though.

  12. Are there any brick and mortar stores on More 3D Displays to Come · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... that carry these 3D display laptops? I'd like to actually see the damned things before I buy one, you know!

    And wow, 1.3 hours of battery life. Looks like I'd need to get a really long extension cord to retain portability. :)

  13. Re:reminds me... on Who's Blocking Verified E-Voting? · · Score: 5, Funny

    They did this on The Man Show. Sounds a lot more formal when you just call it "a group" though. :)

  14. Obligatory UHF quote on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "You think I care about the pea-brained yokels of this town. I can't stand those sniveling maggots! They make me want to puke. But there is one good thing about broadcasting to a town full of mindless sheep: I always know I've got them exactly where I want them."

  17. Re:This is not a computer.... on Was Zuse's Z3 the First Programmable Computer? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A calculator is a computer... it uh, computes.

  18. As an added note on Is Your Computer Leaking Toxic Dust? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Today's date is most definitely NOT April 1st.

    That being said...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

  19. Re:All-artificial? on First All-Artificial Feature Film Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Which presumably would mean only robots would go see the movie. :)

    Also, these robots created by other robots... would the other robots also have to have been created by robots, created by robots, created by robots, created by robots... (ad infinitum)? :)

  20. Re:Common problem.. on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    "A reasonable man adapts himself to the world around him. An unreasonable man expects the world to adapt to him. Therefore, all progress is made by unreasonable men."

    The sequential manual gearbox is a fine example as to why your manual transmission analogy is no good.
