  1. not ideal for computers? on North Pole Gets Wi-Fi Hotspot · · Score: 1

    -30 Celsius are you kidding me? You could clock that baby up so fast, and you wouldn't even have to buy all that expensive cooling stuff, or a case for that matter. Sounds like overclocking heaven to me!

  2. Re:I am a skeptic on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 1
    Hey I usually read /. comments to get a verdict on if the story is possible or not.

    So could someone just consolidate the above conversation into "Yes, it's possible" or "No, it's not possible." I'm not getting it...

  3. Re:Overkill. Keep it simple. on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 1

    The dude was making fun of the music industry, not denying the exsistance of any music outside clearchannel. RTFPost

  4. now all they need... on USB Disco Dance Floor · · Score: 1

    ...is to learn how to dance.

  5. Announcing.... on Secure Hard Drive Deletion Appliance? · · Score: 1

    The Slashdot search engine! Just type in your search query with as much detail as possible and have a thousand slashdot monkies find the answer!

  6. and longhorn! on Xbox 2 To Be Unveiled on MTV May 12 · · Score: 1
    ...and longhorn will also be released this May in a special on lifetime (the appropriate channel to reflect how long the development process took).

    I've learned not to hold my breath for any Microsoft product launches.

  7. this is retarded on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    I am filing for patents on cold fusion, nanobots, flying cars, and jet packs. A crayon sketch of the inventions should do the trick. When someone actually makes one of these things, I will already pwn it!

  8. uh.. on Next Gen Oxyride Batteries Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    They last twice as long but they run down quicker? Do lasting twice as long mean they have a longer shelf life?

  9. Re:This is OLD news! on Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye · · Score: 1
    Okay I found at least one link http://www.psymbiote.org/lecture/lecture-p3.html

    The picture at the bottom is of the dude who has had the implant forever. Last I heard he could see shapes and shadows. That link should get you started anyway.

  10. Re:This is OLD news! on Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye · · Score: 1

    Ive seen video of the guy who has been hooked up since the mide 70's. Man, don't make me google it.

  11. This is OLD news! on Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye · · Score: 2, Interesting
    This news is so old it stinks. They have been expirementing with bionic eyes since the 70's. I remember watching 3,2,1 contact or some such show where they showed a guy with a bionic eye.

    This crops up in the news every once in a while but I haven't seen it go anywhere, the artificial eye is never good enough to go into mass usage.

    Another variety of eye bionics actually fuses microchips to the eye, but they found that eyes are much to sensitive to be able to withstand the heat generated from the IE chips.

  12. slow networks? on Aussie TV Networks Fight BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    If the networks are so slow, what good is ANY kind of p2p software?

  13. what interests me... on **No Title** · · Score: 1

    It's not that it recorded silence that interests me, it's that it recorded 18 minutes of it...

  14. Why not a ride board? on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 1

    Why don't they create an awesome ride board. You just plug in where you are and where you're going and it will find people who need or are offering a ride (to save on gas costs!).

  15. Re:Gag orders on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1
    they already hold trials in secret, you just haven't heard of them.

    Go put on your tinfoil hat.

  16. the iPod does meet their criteria on Microsoft's Tips for Buying an MP3 Player · · Score: 1
    "Unsurprisingly, the iPod meets none of Microsoft's criteria"

    2. Make sure you're getting all the goodies.
    accesories for the ipod are avilable to make it do almost anything. In addition, you can put linux on your iPod and get even more features for free!

    3. You'll want a display.
    This is interesting because they say the reason is you have so many songs ... yet they suggest getting a flash based unit with not much memory... anyway, iPod's certainly have a display (sans the shuffle).

    4. Let a professional make your next playlist.
    Meaning, get one with a radio. The whole point of an mp3 player is so you dont have to listen to the crappy radio.

    5. Pick the right size for you.
    The iPod is bigger than all the ones they suggest, so it certainly exceeds their recomendation.

  17. this would be cool if... on Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art · · Score: 1

    This MIGHT be cool if you took a *picture* of the "link" with your cell phone, and then grafedia matched the picture to the one in their database and gave you the content. That MIGHT make this cool, but probably not.

  18. Re:This is not a "hyperlink"... on Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But you don't get it. You see this is different because when users enter a grafedia address they call it "clicking" on the image. You don't call typing in URLs "clicking" so your idea is not innovative at all. Sorry.

  19. Re:this is why on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 1

    Do they make you give them your credit card number to put money on the prepaid card?

  20. Re:Similar Thing Happend To Me on Apple Settles with Tiger Leaker · · Score: 1

    what's with all the "for"s? Do you live in medieval England?

  21. ...but they didn't survive... on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1
    "There's no evidence to suggest that ancient dinosaurs couldn't see inanimate objects. Predators like T-Rex's probably couldn't survive like that."

    So you're saying that if T-Rexs couldn't see inanimate objects then they would have become extinct long ago?

  22. RTFA!! on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 1

    As it was presented, the bill doesn't force anything on anyone (except ISP's who have to come up with a list). The bill makes ISP's come up with a list of content and gives users the *option* to block that list or not.

  23. Best Ender Ever on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 1

    The best Ender candidate I have ever seen is Thomas Sangster. He played the kid in Love actually - he's like 15 years old but he looks like he's 7. He has a big head too. Check him out:http://www.risingstar.to/tsangster.html

  24. you guys are forgetting on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    Everyone is already talking about how close minded christians are. The story said these films "MIGHT" cause a controversy among a "handful" of "fundementalists." The stupid people here are not the religious groups, the stupid people are the people running IMAX - the ones who are letting a handful of religious extremists decide what they will show in their theatres.

  25. but the editor had the lnik! on Learning a Language in the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    The editor added the note, so was it the editor that removed the link?!
