  1. Reclassification on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 1

    Stingrays now reclassified from "harmless" to "mostly harmless"

  2. Slight problem on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    Okay we attack in one hour - send the signal to the enemy's mines that the war is over!

  3. Standard technique on Games Seized Following Murder · · Score: 1

    A double tab headshot is the textbook technique for all special forces and high skill police firearms units where and immediate kill is needed. As mentioned in other posts hitmen prefer to kill from behind so that the victim doesn't get a chance to react and maybe get a shot off at the hitman.

  4. Re:Plain old plants anyone? on Holographic Solar Collectors · · Score: 1

    Hey you missed an enery source. It should be
    Plants Grow
      Cow eats plants
            collect methane generated by cow
                Turn cow into burgers
                    Cook burgers with methane generated by cow.

  5. No infringement because ScramJet is unpatentable on New Jet Engine Tested · · Score: 1

    Look at the description. If it has no moving parts it obviously cannot move. This means there can be no propulsion which can easily be proved by a rigid application of Newton's laws in exactly the same way as was done for that famous hoax that "bumblebees can fly". Any patent examiner would only need to look at the case history to disallow a scramjet patent.

  6. Re:Wont this make missle defense obsolete? on New Jet Engine Tested · · Score: 1

    Look in to it! No way, I don't want to go blind.

  7. Re:not the right way to start on Brits To Crash Test a Scramjet · · Score: 1

    Dont you Canadians realise Dunlop was a Scot not English.

  8. MIX and match insane speed and insane size on OEM Hard Drive With Window · · Score: 1

    No you dont get JUST Raptors.If your motherboard is an SLI Deluxe or similar you get 4 Raptors in RAID 0+1 for systems and and urgent data and four of the biggest drives you can get in RAID 5 for non urgent data. You can also have a pair of opticals and two big PATA drives on the IDE channel (for data that you dont mind losing). IF 300GB ultra fast + 1200 GB secure + 800 GB insecure is not enough you could also go for a few USB drives.
    I built my system last year so its 138,698,0,232 (no PATAdrives at the moment and overheads mean its not 150,750,0,250)

  9. Re:innovation on Refocusable Plenoptic Light-Field Photography · · Score: 1

    And Look how Luke turned out. The prosecution rests.

  10. What about the Joint on JPEG Patent Challenged · · Score: 1

    JPG stands for JOINT pictures expert group. The standard was designed as a joint effort and JPG algorithms should never have been granted patent status unless the patent was granted to the group as a whole. You cannot build something from a blueprint and then claim it as your original idea so why was the original patent granted?

  11. Re:Natural in some humans on Pirates Thwarted by Sonic Weapon · · Score: 1

    No use lavender oil it has aphrodisiac qualities.

  12. Re:And if it wasnt for.. on Pirates Thwarted by Sonic Weapon · · Score: 1

    You cant take over the French - Thats the job for us brits with the Special relationship wonder (U.S. Poodle in 10 downing St)

  13. Its NOT Civil its CRIMINAL on More on Sony's "DRM Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    I thought US law would apply but now that you have pointed out that it is a UK company responsible it is straightforward Criminal Law. We need expert opinion from a UK based IT law specialist but this definitley falls inside the remit of the Misuse of Computers Act and the Unfair Contracts Act. It also explains what happened to the laptop a friend is bringing round for me to fix on Sunday.

  14. Make a hard copy too on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    Assume that there could be an EMP type attack, your memory could get scrubbed. Print out all the critical stuff on A5 card and laminate it. You will wind up with a slim paperback with all your critical data on it. Keep that hidden by your knapsack (its too valuable to the ID thieves).

  15. It cost her NOTHING on RIAA Suit Rejected With Prejudice · · Score: 1

    The lawyer was acting Pro Bono Publico (For the public good). The only money he gets is public donations or any costs awarded by the court. A lot of people said they were donating a few dollars to the fund (I hope they did). So its not mom who is screwed - its her lawyer who seems like a Good Guy (so when the revolution comes don't shoot all the lawyers - let this one live).

    Remember Heinlein - Laws exist to protect children and pregnant mothers, eberythin else is window dressing

  16. Re:-1: Disillusional on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 1

    No but it worries shit out of any new doctor trying to take his pulse

  17. Re:-1: Disillusional on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 1

    You missed the development of th pulseless artificial heart. I have a live friend with no pulse!

  18. Re:Three Cheers! on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 2

    say 3,155,000 e-mails per day at 10 sec each to handle is a man year a day lost.
    even with 90% effective spam filters he is destroying a lifetime every 2-3 years. perhaps a death penalty is not innapropriate.

  19. Reference 1 on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    Why is slashdot linking to porn. Inocent minors might click that chick link.

  20. Re:Terry Pratchett does this, too on Gaiman Naming Auction · · Score: 1

    He seems to do it at every Clarecraft event nowadays. The next is to be held in Woolpit, Suffolk, UK, 29th to 31st July 2005. (£5 camping fee - thats what I call a cheap weekend). You can get a character based on you for about £1000.

  21. Re:Shipping Rate on Gaiman Naming Auction · · Score: 1

    They mean that you have to pay for a full size replica of the ship for the cover photo shoot.

  22. C-64 power on AMD Demos Dual-Core Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Twenty years ago I knew a programmer who worked on colossus. The things he managed to get a C-64 to do were awesome. I couldn't match them till I got my first 486 (DX2 66 Mhz).

  23. Re:Give 'em a break. on Regulators Lose Piracy Battle · · Score: 1

    Peace by peace ? sounds more like war by war. Just a hint, try buying pieces they are a lot easier to get than peace.

  24. Re:Packets on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 1

    Better than that if you can find someone from the U.K. that they have infected you can call them criminal scum. Our computer misuse act makes it a crime to install or change software on a person's computer without their consent.

  25. A modest proposal on Lessig Legal Team Needs Your Copyright Stories · · Score: 1

    Project Guttenberg is already acting as a repository for scans of out of copyright works. How about a provision that for a work to be copyright a copy must be lodged with them in a closed archive (accessible for evidential purpouses)as well as the library of congress. The contents of the closed archive could be decanted to the open archive when their copyright expires. The British Library is already undertaking a similar project. BTW we brits have SIX copyright libraries and I bet less than 1% of us can name more than the British Library and The Bodleian Library.
