  1. Re:$1 billion? on Repair Costs for Hubble Are Vexing to Scientists · · Score: 1

    You'd also have to consider the substantial gains we would make in technology. We have much better technology available now for the same cost or cheaper.

  2. Re:Imagine on Jef Raskin Gets $2 Million To Develop RCHI · · Score: 1

    Imagine, from a language that uses an acronym instead of the word for "truck." (LKW = Lastkraftwagen)

  3. Re:So how.. on RIAA/MPAA Contractor Deploys Malicious Adware Trojans · · Score: 2

    Uh... does it run on Linux?

    To be serious, I use Linux, and this won't affect me, like IE vulnerabilities don't at all, and like how they didn't even when I had Windows. I used "the Mozillaof audio compression formats" i.e. I copy-infringe only mp3's and ogg's, and I mostly use torrents now, or darknets. WMA is a swearword in all of these locations, because most of the people are also linux users as well.

    One word for you my friend: Lindows.

  7. Re:no for typical smokers on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you're talking about plain old vaporizers, then that's different. If you're thinking of just extracting a few cannabinoids into a filter, and allowing people to inhale them, that's more like what the article is on.

    For a while, the cigarette companies experiemnted trying to make a "safer" cigarette. I saw a special on TV about it, and the one I remember involved painting pretty much pure nicotine on the inside of a glass tube along with glycerine or something else that produced harmless smoke when burned. The smoker then would play a lighter underneath the glass tube while inhaling, giving him harmless, high dosages of nicotine. The only real problem with this was you looked like a crackhead.

  8. Re:Tally Site (Flash, German) on Monitoring the U.S. Elections Online? · · Score: 1

    What about for people who can't speak German? My friend, Klaus the Kraut, can speak it, and so can I, but most slashdotters are Americans, who have a very hazy grasp on "outside" world, let alone actually speaking a foreign language.

    Well, if you can't very well use a felt-tipped pen to write on the CD, then I guess you're out of luck.

    "The Church of Tux." I can see a stained glass window overlooking the main hall, of a college-aged Linus sitting at an old computer, with light emenating from the screen. And some nice penguin themed ones.

    That, my friends, is the infamous "Last Measure", a project of the GNAA. Read about Last Measure in the "Last Measure" section of the shock sites article. The voice was saying "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO."

  14. Re:More secure than AIM, no fucking way! on Could IM Be The Next Step For Google? · · Score: 1

    Logs are great for remembering phone numbers and plans too. If you accidentally close an IM window, it's not a problem. Another useful thing: random curiosities. I installed Gaim April 13th, 2004. I have myself aliased in gaim as "Me".

  15. Re:I code C# for a living on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 3, Funny

    Every time I see "C#" I always think of a funny comment from a poll, maybe 6 months back, of "What do you call #?" The options given were "Sharp, Hash, Pound, Channel, Tic-Tac-Toe sign" etc. The funny comment was "I call it the 'rap' sign. You know, as in C#"

  16. But... on China Rewards Porn Snitches · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can't legislate morality. As long as there's a demand, it'll be there. It's like "The War on Drugs" in the US.

    I own plexiglass windows that are difficult to break. There will always be flying stones. The person throwing them is still an asshole, but if you're not going to duck, you're an idiot.

    At the moment, Gmail gives out free forwarding. If you spam-armor your address whenever you make it available, you won't get spam.

  20. Re:I'd Prefer Stoning on Massachusetts Atty. General Forces Spammer to Pay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My primary email address is 16 characters, made from a couple German words strung together. I've got another one, which is my name @gmail.com, set up to redirect to my primary. If I ever start getting spam from that, I can discontinue use, and set up a new address, keeping the forwarding address secret. I have received zero pieces of spam in either to date. What's your excuse for getting spam?

  21. Re:Smoke and mirrors? on 360-Degree 3D Imaging · · Score: 1

    If you've got a piece of translucent plastic, and you have two lights shined onto it, if it's spinning fast enough, and the frame rate is synchronized to the spin, you can ensure "At this exact moment in the spin plastic is passing through (X,Y,Z) space. Projecting light from laser (1 or 2) will hit it and light up that piece." Repeat to make a pattern. This would be highly inefficient, but it would work.

    You can sue somebody who sells you food with Thalomide in it, in the libertarian system. A pretty strong incentive not to put it in, no?
