  1. 50Mbit/s connection in China on Why China Can't Lure Tech Talent (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm using a 50Mbit/s connection writing this in China. Slashdot worked on the third reload and I'm usually struggling to watch video online. Websites inside China work well, everything outside is painstakingly slow. China has their own self-contained internet, most of my usual websites need vpn.

  2. Finally. on Scientists Amplify Light Using Sound On a Silicon Chip (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    About time we get some cool Dune-tech.

  3. Re:So what type of Windows PC do you need. on Oculus Founder: Rift Will Come To Mac If Apple "Ever Releases a Good Computer" (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a Geforce GTX970 in my 2008 mac pro, works great. Still too slow for the Rift though.

  4. A sitcom? on Can High Intelligence Be a Burden Rather Than a Boon? · · Score: 1

    1500 of the smartest people in the world, and their highest achievement was a sitcom?

  5. Re: Why does this need a sequel? on Blade Runner 2 Script Done, Harrison Ford Says "the Best Ever" · · Score: 1

    Gaff was once the number one Blade Runner. When his body wasn't up to snuff any more, they copied his memories into Deckard who now became the number one Blade Runner around the block. With his new protégé, Gaff is now functioning merely as an overseer. Like Rachel, Deckard is also "special".

  6. Shuttle buses are great on NASA's Manned Rocket Contract: $4.2 Billion To Boeing, $2.6 Billion To SpaceX · · Score: 1

    But can someone please build a real space ship.

  7. Like religions then.. on Facebook Is a Plague That'll Burn Out In a Few Years, Says Study · · Score: 1

    They also work as viruses and they are still here after thousands of years.

  8. Re:News like this always make me so depressed... on 3 Habitable-Zone Super-Earths Found Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    I like your enthusiasm. I just wonder where they are, intelligent life. If planets are so common, where are our brothers and sisters? Bacteria? Your mama.

  9. News like this always make me so depressed... on 3 Habitable-Zone Super-Earths Found Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    For every habitable but uninhabited planet we find, the human race becomes more and more special. I don't want to be that special kid...

  10. No big deal. on Green Lantern Writer To Pen Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    It's not like he's writing the script. It's already been penned by Mr Fancher. But I wonder why they don't bring in Mr Peoples, like last time. Hopefully post Prometheus Scott checks for bad writing.

  11. Awful as usual on China Detects 10 Cases of Radiation Contamination, 2 In Hospital · · Score: 1

    So instead of feeling sorry for the japanese people, they attack them politically by faking radiation sickness? Awful as usual.

  12. Old DOS game on Angry Birds and Parabolic Instinct In Humans · · Score: 1

    I miss VGA Bomb.

  13. Man, on Aging Reversed In Mice · · Score: 1

    So we are the last generations that will die. That's just great...

  14. Bad coding on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    Flash is just a big pile of bad coding. Make it awesome like h264 and I'll happily continue to use it. Otherwise, put it to rest already.

  15. Samsung has announced a new line of chimps on Samsung to Produce Faster Graphics Memory · · Score: 1

    In addition to faster data delivery the new chimps also claim to consume less energy than previous versions. Could be. Chips Outscore College Students on Memory Test. Most likely. I'm getting tired.

  16. XO-1b on Planet Discovered Using Telephoto Camera Lenses · · Score: 2, Funny

    By the amateur astronomers often called Bob.

  17. Hey! on Hacking the Fluorescent Light · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Finally we get those cool umbrellas from Blade Runner.
