  1. RTFA? on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What a boneheaded idea to point the article link to the splash page showing a cute jpg logo.

    We don't want to steal the bandwidth. We want to read the article AND steal the bandwidth. No, nevermind, I don't think they want to read the article either.

    Nice font on the picture.

  2. Bah, fraternities have had this for a long time on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 5, Funny

    Instruction manual:
    1. Place helmet on head. Take a swig from your hip flask. Decide you don't need the helmet.
    2. Spread arms parallel to ground.
    3. Hum 'whirrrr' as you spin yourself to speed.
    4. Upon striking your head on the floor on the way down, remark how free you feel in the open air.

  3. Re:I have said it before, and I will say it again on Hackers, Public Differ Greatly On E-voting · · Score: 1

    says that it will make it possible for the troops in iraq to vote

    Troops in Iraq can already send absentee ballots. I've been told the military makes it pretty easy for those serving to vote in US elections, seeing as how it's important.

  4. Re:YAY on Dr Who, Daleks Kiss And Make Up · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a Dr. Who fan, I get frustrated with intellectual property over the damned Darleks(tm).

    I saw Darl and intellectual property in the same sentence. Thought I wandered into the wrong section in Slashdot.

  5. Re:They are... on Net Addiction Gets Finnish Soldiers Out Of Army · · Score: 1

    especially funny if pronounced in Mortal Kombat voice....

    "Finnish him!"

  6. Re:The rules are simple... on Soyuz To The Moon? · · Score: 1

    Bring Back our Flag...
    Russian-American CTF!

  7. Re:Military uses on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 1

    I picked up Rebel Strike at Gamestop for $20 new. It also has all of the RL game in coop form. Graphics drag during that one level with the Y-wings and the crashed super star destroyer, with a zillion AT-PTs, but otherwise it runs like a charm. Very fun.

  8. Re:Did somebody forget to invite... on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 1

    This isn't a Starcraft tournament boy!

    Besides, they are too busy playing Lineage II.

  9. Re:Military uses on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure. Much like the best Spiderman 2 player is recruited by the Avengers every year.
    Seriously?!
    I just beat Rebel Strike and Rogue Leader. I'm waiting for my call from Luke Skywalker.

  10. Re:Military uses on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 1

    Even that is iffy. I know a few people who still play CS (just about everybody did at one point), and they say that the 'scene' is pretty polar. There are the superserious folks who compete with their clans and total newbies who just picked up the game from an older brother, a parent, or a friend ("hw yuo buy rockt loncher??/".

    In watching them play, they really have very few tactics that stick throughout all the maps. Everything they do is map specific for the most part. The few strategies that stick between maps generally involve exploiting game mechanics (running with knife out, binding buy orders, etc.)

    So, unless the terrorists were hiding inside a building exactly like cs_assault or cs_militia, the CS players won't be of much help.

  11. Re:Military uses on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 1

    I would think their governments would find better use with those who play sports for hours daily rather than sit down and "practice" for hours.

  12. Re:Controller nightmare... on The Ultimate Nintendo Console · · Score: 1

    It adds a layer of authenticity by still being uncomfortable though...

  13. Strange news indeed.... on Malaysian Government Prefers Open Code · · Score: 1

    Seeing as though Malaysian Virus Writers Prefer Sleeping Code.

    Live in superfear.

  14. Look out martians on NASA Preps Mars Underground Mole · · Score: 1

    NASA sends an earth MUM to find their underground civilization, and then scold them all for having long hair while reminding them to wear a sweater outside, it's freezing!

  15. Hoorah for science! on Wearable Customizable Displays · · Score: 1

    How long until we can hack these? I have long awaited the day when I could popup goatse on someone outside of a computer monitor.

  16. Re:Medical uses on Wearable Customizable Displays · · Score: 1

    This would be defeated by too many people crying wolf says I.

    I know alot of immature people.

  17. Re:And in other news... on Microsoft Patents The Body Bus · · Score: 1

    I saw the headline and thought it was public transportation powered by human corpses, made especially creepy by seeing these green "Energy Efficient" buses a few weeks ago in Seattle.

    "Cadaver inside!"

  18. Re:I pre-purchased doom3 long ago on Doom 3's Release Date; Quake Turns 8 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I did a double take in Best Buy at the preorder box (made to look like the release box).

    "WHOA! How did this come out without me knowing?! $20!? I thought it was going to be like $60!"

    Then I saw the Pre order stripe on the corner and the world returned to normal.

  19. Violation! on War Kayaking · · Score: 1

    This patent will never hold up. The Iroquois can claim prior art to "War Kayaking" from centuries ago.

  20. Mourning the death of the best feature on N-Gage QD Review - No More Side-Talkin' · · Score: 3, Funny

    The original Sidetalking! website has started a petition to bring back the most hilariously awful feature in their phones yet.

    R.I.P. sidetalking...

  21. Watercooling on Intel 3.40EE & 3.60E - LGA Arrives · · Score: 1

    This next incarnation of processors could speed up the innovation of watercooling. Just as alternative fuels will be researched quickly and furiously when conventional fuels become very expensive, when these new processors hit the desktop market (think Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.), they are probably going to be loud or obnoxious.

    Maybe we are going to see better watercooling systems due to mainstream demand. That would be pretty cool. (NPI)

  22. Re:not really a GB on Rediff Joins The 1GB Webmail Club · · Score: 1

    Yahoo offers 100mb, crackhead.

    It's not the size of the mailbox, it's how you use it.

    Someone can easily manage to get that much spam over a few months.
