  1. Re:Good Riddance on US No Longer the World's Internet Hub · · Score: 1

    However the population (as in population density) on Earth surface does have a center (as in mass center). It is somewhere close to mountain Everest, I think.

  5. Re:What? on Russian Invasion of Georgia Might Jeopardize Space Station · · Score: 1

    Well, Russia will still be able to launch Soyuzes, as well as dock them to the ISS. It is just NASA won't be able to take a ride on them, because NASA won't be able to pay for them.

    Do not submerge the Large Hadron Collider into a luquid, even partially. Do not look into the other end of the Large Hadron Collider. And most importantly, bzzzthhh.

    Yeah! That judgement was what I was waiting for, collecting those AOL CDs. Now I can finally sell them!

  19. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    That's not to say that we couldn't find some relatively inexpensive, safe ways to improve mileage.

    When driving in my city, I have a feeling that whoever programs the street lights must be in pocket of the oil companies. A few optimizations here and there might save a lot of gas and time for the drivers. There is NOT a single street in my city with such a simple thing as the "green wave", which is the green light all the way for some optimal speed. Rather, there are plenty of streets with the "red waves" when you have to stop at every fucking intersection. Did I mention that street lights in my city drive me nuts? I wish I could get away with shooting every red light with a shotgun.

  20. Re:Make it not boot on Securing Your Notebook Against US Customs · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstand how BSOD works. It never appears when you expect it. It is very similar to the Spanish inquisition.

  21. Re:Math is HARD, idiocy comes natural on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 1

    So you are referring to the data overhead. What is about Hubble? I am pretty sure to send 1MB or raw data it actually transfers much more than that, redundancy checks, etc...

  24. Re:A potential customer!!! on Blue Lights To Reset Internal Clocks · · Score: 1

    Slashdot should change its background to flashing blue. This way I can reload the home page all night, not just when I am at work.

  25. Re:DNF on Vista Service Pack 1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    When Vista came out the DRM changed its status from DNF to DOA. With SP1, it is now DNR.
