  2. new layout on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 0

    Everybody who wants to complain about the new layout can post it as a reply here, so to help identify people whose philosophy is "whine first, test later" and ignore their QQing.

  3. Old news (and semi-dupe) on Printable Batteries Should Arrive Next Year · · Score: 4, Informative

    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute did this already, as mentioned in this article from a couple years back.

    Click here to get free Viagra. Cheap soft tablets can also specify a link to purchase. Cialis provide. Let your love life interesting.

  5. Re:cool! on World of Goo Ported To Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah. Good job supporting the people who actually do shit right.

    If you want more Linux versions, vote with that $20 you earned surfing /. Social parasites like you can fuck off.

  6. At it again on In-Game Gold Farming a $500M Industry · · Score: 2, Funny

    What is this? A reverse-psychology 419 scam in action?

  7. Valence != Outer Core on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just because an electron is in the outer "core" doesn't mean it's a valence electron. Similarly, the converse is also true. As IUPAC put it, the number of valence electrons is equal to "the maximum number of univalent atoms (originally hydrogen or chlorine atoms) that may combine with an atom of the element under consideration, or with a fragment, or for which an atom of this element can be substituted." This still holds true for the interactions in question in TFA.

  10. Lynx on goosh, the Unofficial Google Shell · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In all seriousness, why not just use Lynx if you want text only?

    That's the same article, buddy.

  13. Maybe on Blizzard Sues Creator of WoW Bot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe instead of suing people who run bots to avoid grinding, they should make grinding less boring/time-consuming? Grinding is really the only reason they aren't getting $15/mo from me.

  14. Re:Looks like /. stories have quantum states, too. on Toward On-Chip Quantum Computing · · Score: 2, Funny

    You know, most people just say "DUPE!!!!" and get over with it.

    Slashdot: Curing Alzheimers daily since 1997.

  16. Nefarious? on China Now Blocking RSS Feeds · · Score: 1

    We've heard of other nefarious tricks to get around the firewall, too. One involves an SSH connection to somewhere outside the country, such as the US, in order to have unrestricted access to RSS, the web, you name it. Another involves the popular Firefox extension gladder, which is a proxy tool that advertises itself as a "Great Ladder" to get over the Great Firewall. Finally, the Tor tool is also popular; it allows a client computer to access the Internet anonymously through a network of virtual tunnels--a series of tubes, one might say. This would allow Chinese users to eventually gain access to the Internet through a Tor node that is located outside of the country.
    1. Tor is nefarious? Isn't nefarious necessarily something evil (as opposed to tricky)?
    2. Wouldn't you be in deep trouble if they caught you using a bypassing method? I wouldn't put it above the government to make you "go missing" after they catch you. SSH, after all, is relatively easy to track.


    No, there is no ??? or profit step. The Chinese government already has better ways to gain money. </preemptive strike>
  17. Libel on Hospital Wants Critical Blogger's Anonymity Ended · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If he's spewing false information, then libel is libel. He can and should be punished. Just because he's on the intarwebz doesn't mean he has immunity.

    On the other hand, if he's telling the truth, the hospital has no case.

    I don't see what the big deal is.

  18. Incorrect on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 5, Informative
    FTFA:

    Also, the Zap2it TV Listings are not being shut down -- there has been some confusion about this in comments on other message boards. Submitter: did you even bother to read TFA (which is around 3 sentences, at that)?

    Does my post for an idea like this on the forums for Apple's "american-idol-type-thing" last year count as prior art?

    It's okay. The computer made you do it.

  22. Bad system on New AACS Fix Hacked in a Day · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The reason the current system will fail is because they are selling plastic and keys, and pretending they are selling culture. But they don't own the culture, except by a legal loophole, and the lesson is... the true owners of the culture, the people, will in the end will prevail.

  23. For those who want to get started... on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are some sample applications available here to help you get started using Google Gears. I found it pretty non-intuitive at the beginning but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it slowly.

    No. Yahoo! bought it.

    In any case, isn't it a bad sign when the first post exceeds the length of the article discussing the subject matter?
