  1. Re:Don't get too enthusiastic now... on Toshiba to Demo New Fuel Cell MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    In other articles, it's shown as having a bottle next to it, and showing pictures of the bottle being poured in. So no worries about special methanol packs or anything. Besides, you can make your own methanol, after all...

  2. Re:Anyone else... on A Look at Photonic Clocking · · Score: 1

    Well, we could see early market share going predominately Intel Corp. Which would make them synonyms, really.

  3. Re:Been around for a while on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    >> Note: I'm not new here, but these things should be on slashdot a bit quicker, although it might have been an internal NASA thing for a while No, you must be new here, if it was an internal NASA affair, we would have had it sooner.... (Hah! Still got you with the age-old retort! There is no escape!

  4. Re:hmm... on Super Door of the Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    *sigh* But think of how horribly depressing that would be...

  5. Re:Which GPU is best for scientific computing task on Graphics Card Comparison Guide · · Score: 1

    Then you're still probably well off with Nvidia's quatro.

  6. Re:How about optimized builds? on Quake 3: Arena Source GPL'ed · · Score: 1

    Not much of a point; Even Carmack himself mentioned in his QuakeCon keynote that it wasn't going to even be in Q4, so what reason for it to be in Q3A?

  7. Re:Walt Disney of the funeral business? on Video Tombstones · · Score: 1

    No, but it is disturbing because Walt Disney DOESN'T HAVE a tombstone, he had himself frozen...

  8. Re:OK... on Laser Surgery Goes Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not you... you must have had bad lag to the server! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

  9. Re:As Fark might say.. on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: 2, Funny

    > Its not the sex.
    Of course not, this is slashdot; we don't get that kind of stuff here...

  10. Re:Return to the Slashdot Effect on Slashback: Randomness, Donations, Ramp · · Score: 2, Funny

    > A slow-motion clip of the now-famous ET foam shedding event has been inserted at the time it occurred -- about 1:40 after liftoff Sadly, the video did not recieve the wide appraise it expected, and the golden globe went instead to "ET foam home".

  11. Computer's Questions Three on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 1

    SuperUser: Three questions. He who answers the five questions-- User: Three questions. S. User: Three questions may access the system. User: What if you get a question wrong? SuperUser: Then you are cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril. ... Computer: What is your favourite colour? User: Blue. No- AHHHHHH!!!

  12. Just used this last week on Open Source Molecules · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wow. I just used pubchem last week, and I use it often, for doing work at my school. How can they take away something like this? All that would do is limit my learning, and my classmates learning. And we wouldn't pay for this stuff, it's expected to be free. Anyway, I can generate most of this stuff for free with all the chemistry gunk I have on my school linux cluster. How is their arguement valid?! This is like taking away an open source operating system like linux, because it has the possibility of interfering with Microsoft's business? Absolutely wacko.

  13. Re:Finally a use for the brush metal theme on Security Skins: Single Sign-On with Images · · Score: 1

    The point would be that the image would be unique. Which that would not be. I'm sure it would look nice though.

  14. No! Emacs. on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 1

    "User: "So, uh, why did you decide to make a word processor that uses 80 megs of RAM and bogs down anything less than a 2 GHz machine?"
    Programmer: "Why? Why? Muahahha.... BECAUSE I CAN."

    Using more resources than necessary to complete a task doesn't demonstrate any sort of talent. " ... Hey, stop dissing Emacs. Did I insult YOUR text editor?!

  15. So cites IRC on Linux Coming to the Nintendo DS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "A recent IRC conversation..." Yes, we should cite those as very reliable sources. ... Because everything you read on IRC is true. ... Did I mention I'm a 18 year old female from your general area?

  16. True Fathers on Open Source As Legal Time Bomb · · Score: 5, Funny

    James Earl Jones: Tux... I AM your father.
    Tux: Noooooooo!

  17. Personally on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I, personally, have sent in my communicator badge and phaser. I will no longer be part of this Federation! Rarrrghhh! (Now, see, the funny part is, this will be modded +1 redundant... only on slashdot...)

  18. 1x1 Slashdotting on Apple Website Points to PowerBook G5 · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many slashdot users it takes to take down a site by only download 1x1 blank space images... Nah, we can do it!

  19. Darn on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Damn! I guess this means I won't be able to play my ink cartridges in my DVD player any more...

  20. Extended Functionality on Closed Digital Cameras - Does Anyone Care? · · Score: 1

    I like my digital camera very much, but I concur that some serious firmware haxoring should take place. For instance, the exposure time is normally limited on most digital cameras, probably because any more exposure time would show the huge mass of CCD "fuzzies" static that would accumulate. But it would be a nice feature, and currently impossible with installed firmware. Also, easy hacks might include "night vision" type settings, and also perhaps mp3/ogg and movie playback, for kicks and giggles. Or maybe inbuilt editing tools that surpass the closed firmwares. But also what the open firmware would allow for, is that many new cameras can be used as webcams... in a WINDOWS environment, but rarely on the mac and certainly none for Linux. Open firmware would allow people to more easily develop webcam software of this type.

  21. My other document editor on AbiWord 2.2 Unleashed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'll be keeping emacs, thank you very much.

  22. Great data on Wal-Mart's Data Obsession · · Score: 1

    Great, maybe they even have data on the average slashdotter; for instance, for every 3 people that read the article, a hurricane destroys northern Taiwan. ... now notice northern Taiwan isn't being hit by hurricanes... CONSPIRACY!!! PUT ON THE TINFOIL HATS!!!

  23. Re:I wish on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 0, Troll

    ooooh as we all know, the timex sinclair was also the first real computer of LINUS TORVALDS.... so it MUST be worth saving! SAVE IT FOR YOUR OWN NERDY GOODNESS!!! That way, when linux is the only OS to survive world war IV, we'll have a keepsake of it's creators memories.

  24. Pizza on New Blu-ray Disc to be Made of Corn · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm glad you included pizza; They don't call rackmount servers "pizza box" servers for nothing ;) ... fit a mini-atx nicely :D

  25. Wow nice title on Monitoring the U.S. Elections Online? · · Score: 3, Funny

    WHOA Ok, who else read "Monitor U.S. Erections" the first time?!
