  1. in Ohio on NYC Crosswalk Buttons are Inoperative · · Score: 1

    when I was in Columbus they didn't even have buttons. It would just automatically show the walk symbol.

  2. actual bones on Astronauts Attach Mannequin to Outside of ISS · · Score: 4, Funny

    to they actually take a skeleton? or do they grind up a bunch of bones to make a kind of solid substance?

  3. hard working? on Correlation Between Stress and Technology? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    all of you hard-working Slashdot readers
    those people getting first posts are definitely not hard-working people :)

  4. Re:Devices and Their Tools on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: 5, Funny

    it also removes people from social interaction, which is vital for mental health.
    apply that to /. and that explains why we are so weird..

  5. virtually unstoppable? on Remember The Heathkit HERO? Check Out '912' · · Score: 4, Funny

    it looks like all you have to do to stop these is to tip the thing over. The other question... what would an intruder actually have to stop it from doing? running into its legs?

  6. hamster intelligence on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 5, Funny

    an intelligent hamster controlled MIDI sequencer
    as opposed to a nonintelligent hamster? ;)

  7. Re:What is there to hide? on Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court · · Score: 5, Insightful

    just because the innocent have nothing to hide, means that there is no reason for giving up our rights of privacy.

  8. Re:Dupe? on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    "I'm curious as to how the cost of living in India compares to that of the United States"
    It says that generally India is worse off, because it says that even a white-collar job doesn't usually make enough to afford a similar quality of life as in America. However, jobs that are taken in from other countries can give more than enough income yet still be a bargain for the original country (e.g. the /.er who will program C++ for $3 an hour)

  9. an alternative on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i prefer a notepad. for like 2 bucks you can also get a "pen" which you can enter in data in directly. it doesnt take much battery power either.

  10. what games? on An Xbox Live-like Service For Open/Indie Gaming? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    oh i only briefly looked through the site, but is there a list of games (with genres) on the site?

  11. my plan on Portable Phone Numbers = Market for Cool Numbers · · Score: 1

    1. Write song with my cell phone number in it. 2. ????? 3. Profit!

  12. Internet for Dummies on What The Internet Isn't · · Score: 2, Funny

    I remember reading one of the Internet for Dummies a long long time ago. Anyway, the last point under "What the Internet Isn't" was
    "The Internet is not a breakfast cereal. Yet."

  13. one example... on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 2, Informative

    is ucsdprofessor.com good site for me (as a UCSD student obviously) and it would be cool if all universities had things like this.

  14. i'm waiting... on Integrated Pocket PC, GPS and Laser Range Finder · · Score: 2, Funny

    for one that can record video. :)

  15. in the long term on Outsourcing As A Source Of U.S. Jobs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    in the long term, a foreign country succeeding will make the entire world better...
    of course in the long term, we'll all be dead.

  16. this makes way for... on A New Face For Robotics · · Score: 2, Funny

    very realistic Elvis lookalikes.

  17. well... on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 1

    Bancroft wrote that nothing other than testosterone can increase penis size.
    hmm wonder if you can sell testosterone?

  18. Re:Tourism? on NASA's Own X Prize? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    money is a big deal, and the sooner that space exploration brings back a quick profit, the sooner that you will have several companies developing spaceships, which will of course develop the technology. the x prize is an excellent way to encourage efficient (money-saving) technology because the dollar amount is low enough that these enterprises will have to cut costs.

  19. # of channels on Samsung Puts Satellite TV in Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    70 channels seems kindof low. shouldnt they be able to get more than cable tv?

  20. this helps prove... on The World of Virus Writers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    my theory that the most dangerous people are people who are bored.

  21. Re:Jumping off points on A Brief History of the Space Station · · Score: 1

    Well it does says that in the article that it will take more fuel overall to launch from the moon, there is a possible use for launching from the moon. By landing and refueling on the Moon, a spacecraft could have less space allocated for fuel, which could result in either a larger amount of room, or a faster, smaller ship. This would require the previous launch of fuel ships to the Moon, which would raise the cost. This is probably justifiable if allows quicker trips to Mars or room for more goodies.

  22. the difference? on Court to Hear Landmark P2P Case · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "The Betamax was a product that allowed consumers to make copies. The defendants operate services which facilitate both unauthorized distribution as well as copying, and that continuing network is fundamentally different"
    it's possible to distribute copyrighted material using a VCR. it's also possible to do this with blank cds. but with p2p programs, the problem is that the vast majority of users use it for illegal reasons.

  23. disney dvd on The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business · · Score: 1

    i personally think today's article is a good example of a bad buisiness move http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/01/30/155923 8&mode=thread&tid=188
