  1. moondust and then some on Toxic Moondust Bounces Like A Cannonball · · Score: 0

    The dust is ' very static '. That means it hardly moves. It also bounces like cannonballs. It's toxic, it's like silicon. Silicon is almost entirely inert.It must be one of the least toxic substances in existence. It is dangerous, not toxic. Moondust, yeah, well you got that right.

  2. free software on Microsoft Thinks Africa Doesn't Need Free Software · · Score: 0

    While any kind of technical help would be welcome in the developing world, it is sometimes not required immediately. Handing a starving nomad or the mother of a sick child, a copy of XP is not going to help them in the immediate future.

  3. Suspension bridge on Italy To Build World's Longest Suspension Bridge · · Score: 0

    In an earthquake and volcanic zone. You gotta admire their pzazz.

  4. turbo-gear on TurboGears: Python on Rails? · · Score: 0

    Quote " as natural as writng a function". In other words, completely unnatural, formal in the extreme, a highly technical task. Is this why linux geeks think that one day all the world will use Linux/Debian/BSD.

  5. big cats on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 0

    These cats are descendants of cats released 70 or more years ago. So they were released in breeding pairs and have escaped capture for that length of time. I am more interested in the sighting of a Fortean.

  6. Re:KDE on KDE 3.5 Beta 1 Announced · · Score: 0

    Gnome? Gnome? who's talking about gnome?

  7. KDE on KDE 3.5 Beta 1 Announced · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    A vast improvement. One day it will be exactly like WinXP.

  8. New beginning for maths? on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 0

    No.

  9. Tech bench on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 0

    An engineer who works for free.

  10. Pro & anti creation on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 0

    The funny thing is that this is only a debate in USA.

  11. orbital mechanics on The Mathematics of a Trip to Mars? · · Score: 0

    This explanation is too simple! How refreshing! Does your curiosity extend to ( steady now) reading a book?

  12. Tesco on Can a Customer Loyalty Database Change a Society? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This is the first time you have met marketing hype then?

  13. giant telescope on World's Largest Telescope Begins Production · · Score: 0

    The world's largest telescope on the world's most geologically active zone. Let's hope they get to use it a couple of times before the earthquake.

  14. armour on Power Armor For the Elderly · · Score: 0

    So the Departmant of Defence didn't want it then?

  15. bad grammar on Meet Web Hypochondriacs · · Score: 0

    A problem can be exacerbated it cannot exacerbate. I suggest the poster stick to teensy-weensy words until he/she learns a bit more syntax and grammar. A little english wouldn't hurt either.

  16. thrumm , cough, splutter on Tom's Looks at Two DARPA Grand Challengers · · Score: 0

    IIRC, last year's non-event was a fiasco where the only person who agreed with the result was the guy who 'won ' it.

  17. Hydrogen on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hydrogen is not difficult to store. All you do is combine it with oxygen and it turns into water. Here on this planet, we have been so successful that we have oceans of the stuff just lying around. You'll see it when you get here.

  18. book adverts on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 0

    So slashdot is carrying ads for Canadian bookshops now. Ho hum. Silly season?

  19. WiFi radio on Portable Internet Radio to take on XM? · · Score: 0

    Quote: "Is this the future of radio". No

  20. Linus & Bruce on Bruce Perens Tells Linus Torvalds To Cool It · · Score: 0

    Seems to me that Linus has been up on that pedestal for so long that he's starting to suffer from vertigo.

  21. supercomputer on Building The MareNostrum COTS Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    This looks like a lot of brainpower concentrated in one small area. Who knows? They may even get USB broadband working. Ok I know it's a long shot.

  22. digital life on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 0

    Ah yes, all these little files full of data. Just like little animals and those numbers! So lifelike. I could have sworn one of them winked at me.

  23. random numbers on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 0

    Tell me , are the yanks still burning witches?

  24. facial recognition on 3D Biometric Facial Recognition Comes To UK · · Score: 4, Funny

    The reason we Brits aren't getting excited about this advert for a software company is very simple. It will need to get government backing. That means it will drown in red tape long before it hits the streets. The IT record of the UK government is a long list of what not to do.

  25. porn site sues on Porn Site Sues Google Over Linked Images · · Score: 1, Funny

    So an American company is trying to make money by suing another American company. What's new?
