  1. Re:Why not just bike? on Build Your Own Solar-Powered Scooter · · Score: 1

    Or a scooter. I saw some pretty nifty little scooter, kind of like a skateboard with a handle and a small motor. It is pretty fast and uses a *lot* less gas than an SUV and takes up much less space (on the road or in your garage).

  2. Re:asking the hard questions: on Build Your Own Solar-Powered Scooter · · Score: 1

    ... A Black family took offense at our efforts to hook [the solar powered vehicle] up with a neighbors' socket after a deserted factories outlet had suspiciously failed.

    So that's the type of "solar cell" they use. I would have never thought of it.

  3. 1, 2, 3 on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 1

    1. Debate whether or not to hire $VERY_FAMOUS_H4X0R to attract media attention.
    2. Say "No, we value our trustworthiness too much"
    3. Profit!

  4. not offtopic on How Well Do You Estimate? · · Score: 2, Funny

    that should be +1, ironic

    RTFA? FTFA, as if anyone could understand it anyways.

  7. It would also float on Robot Walks on Water · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm pretty sure that this bot would also float (appart from water walking). It wouldn't make much sense otherwise, as a small wave, detergent, etc, would sink it. Also, I am not familiar with the dynamics of walking on water, but is walking on water more efficient than plowing through it like a boat?

  8. PeopleSoft? on Federal Judge Rules Oracle can Bid for PeopleSoft · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    cat /dev/enhancements.spam >> /dev/PeopleSoft

  9. Re:Hands on experience on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1

    I don't know whether you were joking or very perceptive, but in fact I have not had a girlfriend. Its sad, I'm already in my second year of college. Yes, I know "You wouldn't need to ask for advice if you would just follow your own." But hey, I already tried *once*.

  10. Hands on experience on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems quite a few geeks are recommending hands on experience as the way to go for learning linux. At risk of sounding like an offtopic troll, I would also recommend hands on as a way to learn about girls. No, not hands on *that*! Hands on the girl!

    I bet that I now lost my reputation for being a geek.

  11. Re:Spy/Ad Ware on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 1

    Now if only we could figure out a bounty system to kill off those spyware and adware guys....

    One word: assasins. They would do it for cheep as the US government 0wn0rz the asses of several unemployed assasins *shudder*

  13. Re:Its not a crime! on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 1, Funny

    anyone who writes a program with the intent to do damage to systems, even though they are unpatched, should still be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and be made to pay. It IS a crime

    Let the "let's sue Micro$oft" jokes begin!

  14. Re:Wow. on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 1, Funny

    Lucky, 143 plantiffs seeking only 158,000 in damages. Over here that kid would have been sued for 158,000,000!

    So, that means he files for "less" bankrupcy than he would here?

  15. cool! on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 3, Funny

    That sound you hear is millions of script kiddies saying "Dude, Sven Jaschan is, like, uber 1337!!! I bet I can beat him, though."

  16. Re:Disconnect! on Your Car Is Reading Your Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, yes, disconnect! Go to a dark, quiet room. Light some candles and sit crosslegged saying "Ommm" and disconnect from the world for at least an hour each day. You know you will feel better for it.</overkill>

    Seriously, quit being a karma whore. As you might be aware, most slashdotters don't have a frigging huge computer integrated into their car, and even if they did, they wouldn't need to use it.

  17. Hive mind on Your Car Is Reading Your Email · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, I was also going to post something about sitting in your car with your S.O. and just as things start to get hot, your car blurts out "V1@GRA! P3N15 3NHANC3M3NT!!! 3 inches GUARANTEED!!!"

    All this worrying about the Micro$oft mind-control ray, but perhaps we should be worried about Slashdot mind-control?

  18. um, no on New Google Toolbar Brings Browse By Name · · Score: 1

    1) Microsoft is a very popular site
    2) Most links to "buggy insecure browser" would point to IE

    or perhaps you haven't seen MSN search?

  20. Re:Weird error on New Google Toolbar Brings Browse By Name · · Score: 1

    Me too. Yup, it was about a second. I clicked on "read more" very soon after the headline appeared, while it still had 0 comments ... must be the headline and article were a little out of sync.

  21. explosion on New Google Toolbar Brings Browse By Name · · Score: 1

    Q: What happens when you mix "Don't be evil" with "embrace and extend" and reliable searching with Internet Explorer?
