  1. Throttling Down? on Getting Better Battery Life w/ Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, your windows machine is probably throttling down the processor when you're unplugged. It's possible that your linux machine doesn't do that.

  2. Here's the skinny on Programming Challenges for Mac Developers · · Score: 2, Informative

    First Contest: Develop a Cocoa program that will calculate the distance between two spots on the globe. (given latitude and longitude. ) There were only two submissions. Second Contest: Develop a graphical representation of the A* algorithm using Java, C, or Objective-C. (This one will be 72 hours.) No prizes, only bragging rights... for a site that noone even goes to. Yipee! Have fun.

  3. Well, looking at it from a college student's POV on Correlation Between Stress and Technology? · · Score: 1

    Of course CS and tech related majors are going to be more stressed out then your average theater major, business major or the like. We have hard classes. They have hard parties.

  4. Does this remind you of anything? on Real Pain Dulled In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Clockwork Orange maybe?

  5. Oh Good! on Electronic Arts Shuts Down Origin Systems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now EA will focus on making good games again, like this

  6. Re:Terraforming or chemistry experiments? on Venus: The Forgotten Planet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In order to terraform Venus, you'd have to pump out all of the greenhouse gasses (which is what maked the temperature on Venus even hotter then Mercury. ) Then we'd have to totally change the atmosphere. Assuming you could do all of that, you'd then be able to live on a planet that has days 5800 hours long. ( I hope you like sleeping with the light on. )

  7. Getting the shuttle flying again... on NASA Open Source License Still Up For Discussion · · Score: 1
  8. This Guy is not a Lawyer. on ZDNet Examines SCO Indemnity Options · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This guy is the Executive Editor of Tech Update. He got his degrees in Computer Information Systems. (and he wears those stupid emo glasses) Why is he talking about the legal issues of the whole SCO debate?

  9. Consider the source on The World's Safest Operating System · · Score: 4, Funny

    MACWORLD says that MACS are the most secure. Hmm... Interesting.

  10. Re:Kinda reminds me about nuclear weapons. on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As opposed to the US giving technology to nutjobs? We supported Iraq long before anyone in Europe did.

  11. Kinda reminds me about nuclear weapons. on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The United States signs treaties banning such things. ( ABM Treaty (1972) and Space Treaty (1967) ) Then they back out of it when THEY feel like developing/advancing the technology. Next, some country like France is gonna try the same thing and Bush will go in for the attack.

  12. On a long enough timeline... on Rob Enderle Announces Death of Bluetooth · · Score: 2, Funny

    the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

  13. Keep the Strangelove coming... on Imminent Mandrake Name Change? · · Score: 1

    how about another name out of Dr Strangelove? Muffley, Strangelove.... heck, Peter Sellers Linux has a good ring to it.

  14. Re:*sigh* on EFF Continues Fight On Blizzard Vs. Bnetd Case · · Score: 2

    They're only half evil. One of the few companies that actually will do something clever like release games that are hybrid for Win/Mac.

  15. I drink pepsi now on Crack the Pepsi iTunes Promo Code · · Score: 1

    well, I don't generally drink soda, but being a college student, part of what my parents pay for is my food money. That being said, if I start buying pepsi, I don't pay for it, my "lunch money" does. So I am technically getting free iTunes.

  16. That's crazy! on Lindows becomes Lindash · · Score: 5, Funny

    Next on Slashdot: Microsoft is suing all companies with products that start with a W.
