  1. Re:Venturi electric car on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    I first saw it on fifth gear as well. :)

  2. Venturi electric car on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1
  3. I for one ... on Europe Home to Majority of Zombies · · Score: 2, Funny

    I for one welcome our new Zombie overlords.

  4. I know what this is..... on Google's Secret Lab · · Score: 1

    Google has made a Beowulf cluster of old Korean people and its based in Soviet Russia! But it will be in Beta until Duke Nukem Forever comes out in Japan.

    (eval is the Russian for Beowulf cluster of Old Korean people)

  5. Re:The advance of Technology. on PSP Emulation Madness · · Score: 2, Informative

    I assume you mean Moore's law. If you do then you are barking up the wrong tree:

    "Moore's law is the empirical observation that at our rate of technological development, the complexity of an integrated circuit, with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 24 months." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law

  6. FFVII remade for PS3 on The Final Days of Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    I'd really like to see FFVII remade for the PS3. The graphics would be amazing and the gameplay of FFVII has yet to be bettered.

  7. Also of interest.... on POV-Ray Competition Winners · · Score: 3, Informative
  8. If only we could mod the articles... on McVoy Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    ..this guy would be on -1 Flamebait.

  9. It makes perfect sense for IBM on IBM Plans to Open the Cell Processor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Going to the open-source community makes sense, because....

    they will work for nothing!

  10. Similar phone very popular in Japan on Just a Phone? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Kyocera released the Tu-kaSa very simple phone in Japan and it proved to be very successful. But the thing I find strange about this story is that Vodafone are basically selling a phone with features equivalent to a nokia 3310 for £80! You can get a NEW pay as you go phone on Amazon.co.uk for £20.

    Why would anyone buy the £80 phone from Vodafone?

  11. Re:I think Slashdot just skewed the results on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 1

    I think its a bit harsh modding me down as redundant when the other people posted only two minutes before me :)

    2 minutes before:

  12. I think Slashdot just skewed the results on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just clicked on the #1 link and I imagine a lot of Slashdotters will do the same. This is bound to have an effect on the outcome.

  13. Re:RSS ads? on Google Ads for RSS Feeds Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    It's like a porn site where you never know if you are going to click on something legit....

    If you are for legit content I think you're looking in the wrong place ;)

  14. Re:Doesn't work for google.co.uk on Google's New Personalized Homepage · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even if I change the redirection limit in Firefox to 99999 it still doesn't work.

  15. Doesn't work for google.co.uk on Google's New Personalized Homepage · · Score: 1

    I'm in the uk and consequently Google auto redirects me to Google UK . Thats fine but when I go to customise my google page it gets stuck in an infinite loop of redirecting between Google and Google UK. However, if I go to google.com/ig I don't get redirect and I can customise my homepage :)

  16. Choice quote from 'Dive Into Greasemonkey' on Hacking the Web with Greasemonkey · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can fix rendering bugs that the site owner can't be bothered to fix themselves.

    Could be useful for Slashdot then :)

  17. Re:Info about the technology. on Google Acquires Dodgeball · · Score: 4, Informative

    They don't use that technology at all. They know where you are because you have to text them to let them know where you are.

  18. Re:Oh good on Matrix 3D memory is World's Smallest · · Score: 1

    How many millifootballfields is one blue pill?
    I've no idea but they have a mass of about 7.3 nanoelephants.

  19. ACME Motherboard Finder on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why not try the ACME Motherboard Finder

  20. If you think this is the stupidest idea ever.... on Open Graphics Project Looking For Funding · · Score: 1

    I guess you haven't seen the custom Motherbard idea!

  21. Re:I'd hit it... on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 2, Funny

    You sound like Nikola Tesla!

  22. ...cunning plan on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    1. Trademark all the big cat names.
    2. Wait for new Apple OS to be released.
    3. Sue Apple.
    4. ????
    5. Profit!!!

  23. Re:Too late? on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 1

    But if Microsoft start bundling Metro reader with Windows Longhorn then that might well help them get a foothold in the market. The reason why Firefox has only had a small effect on IE's market share is that most people already have IE installed with their OS.

  24. Re:Does Gmail have a full release date yet? on GMail Getting RSS Aggregation Feature? · · Score: 1

    I use Google every day, but I haven't seen any sign up link yet. Right now, it's still in evaluation/limited release, and they haven't issued a firm, full release date yet.

    But anybody who wants one can get one - thats not exactly Vaporware.

  25. One slight concern..... on First Successful Cell Transplant Cures Diabetes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ....she still needs to take powerful drugs to keep her immune system from rejecting the new cells

    If these drugs are suppressing her immune system then it could make her more at risk to other illnesses. I used to know someone who had a kidney transplant and he lived a reasonably normal life for 10+ years. But he died because the drugs to suppress his immune system meant that he caught an infection he was unable to fight off.:(
