  1. Gryo, not the tasty kind on Ars Technica Reviews Controller Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Actually this has been done before nintendo. It's called the gryo mouse. http://www.gyration.com/en-US

  2. A better design on Seven-Ounce Linux 'Wrist PC' · · Score: 2, Interesting
    My dream wearable computer would have all the guts contained in a belt, a bluetooth enabled display in a HUD projected on my glasses.

    Modern PDAs have an awful lot of power these days, more so than my pentium pro desktop from a few years ago. Where they fall flat IMO is in the display. I can't get much done with a 3 by 4 inch display. But if all the batteries, memory, and processor spread out around my waist, I wouldn't really notice the weight, and a full screen translucent display in front of my eyes that no one else can see would be pretty cool.

  3. Trek answer on What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home? · · Score: 1

    Easy, a holodeck. Infinitely customizable, any furniture style I want, and I can conjure up any er, 'entertainment' I might desire.

  4. Let me be the first to say on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 1

    God Damn it!

  5. Re:This is beyond stupid on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1
    Two things are beyond me: . . .and why Slashdot keeps putting this guy's stuff on the front page.

    That's easy. To laugh at him.

  6. I couldn't agree more on Time To Stop Calling Them Games? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We should also consider remaming Olympic Games. Maybe something like The Totally Grown Up Althletic Competition of Olymipa, so no one will confuse them with childsplay or wasted time.

  7. Re:The real question is..... on Fired for Solitare At Work · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This might be an urban legend, but I always heard that MS included solitaire to teach people the funtamentals of 'double-click' and 'click-and-drag'. I also seem to remember Apple including a sort of adeventure game on the Apple II gs to teach users similar skills.

  8. Re:So in essence... on Children Help Their Mothers for Decades · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now there's a modest proposal if I ever heard one.

  9. Re:hey don't leave out qemu on VMware to Make Server Product Free (as in beer) · · Score: 1
    VMware allows you to make the MAC address anything you want

    Slackware allows this as well. Its called MAC spoofing

  10. Re:Deathstar on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 1

    No, it had to run windows 95. Nothing else would be so insecure enough. How eles could R2D2 own the network so throughly, that he could shutdown garbage collectors from the docking bay?

  11. I'm 'a get Thoreau on your ass! on Google's Action Makes A Mockery Of Its Values · · Score: 1
    It's called Civil Disobedience

    Basically the idea is that if a law is unjust, it is your duty not to obey it.

  12. Let's go frozen liquid magma climbling! on Microlensing Uncovers Earth-Like Planet · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, when discussing the surface of the earth, it's now frozen liquid magma. Not rock.

  13. Ob Simpsons on What is the Intel Switch Costing Apple? · · Score: 1

    Yeah but how may rods to the hogshead will the switch get them?

  14. Re:If the sound is THAT good, on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 1
    What's next? Soundtracks for toasters?

    Only if the toasters run linux.

  15. Your first mistake on Reincarnating the NES · · Score: 2

    You MOVED OUT! You should have just moved into the basement, then all your stuff would still be close at hand. And you get mom's cooking.

  16. Re:Who would have guessed it? on France to Legalize File Sharing · · Score: 1
    You seem to forget that NO ONE likes France except the French

    What about French-Americans like me. My society tells me to hate frogs, but everytime I ask Grandpa if he wants some more freedom fries or freedom toast he beats me over the head with his cane, and curses me en français. What's a franco-american to do?

  17. Re:GNAA behind the times on Run Linux as a Windows Screensaver · · Score: 0, Redundant
    the GNAA is dying

    I won't believe it until netcraft confirms it.

  18. Re:code on Graphics Coming to Google Ads · · Score: 1

    You must never have heard of Goatse, or MrHands, ot Tubgirl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shock_sites

  19. code on Graphics Coming to Google Ads · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What ever happened to 'Don't be Evil' ?

  20. Vi4g7a on E-Paper On Cereal Boxes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean that I will get 'organ enlargement' spam flashing on my condoms?

  21. nemo on New Object Found at Edge of Solar System · · Score: 0
    I always liked the curse from Finding Nemo, it sort of fits in with the aquatic theme.

    Curse you AQUUAAA SCUUUMMMM!!!

  22. How could you tell he was king? on Behind the Scenes of Narnia's Special Effects · · Score: 1
    "Who's that?"

    "He must be a king. He hasn't got shit all over 'em"

  23. it's all alone. on Independent Game Festival Finalists Announced · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is a pity comment, for a story that will never get any. I just felt sorry fot it.

  24. Re:Obligatory Jamaican Response on Unpatched Firefox 1.5 Exploit Made Public · · Score: 5, Informative

    You mean: "Dat file will be history Mon.

  25. ob simpsons on Podcasting Officially a Word · · Score: 1

    Well, it is a perfectly cromulent word after all.
