  1. I don't know about... on Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System · · Score: 0

    I don't know about some "piece" and quiet, but I'll surely settle for some peace and quiet.

  2. What if... on Military Robots Get Machine Guns · · Score: 0, Insightful

    The batteries in the remote control die during fire? I don't know about you guys, but I don't want a rocket misguided into my car or house!

  3. Heat on On-CPU Peltiers From AMD? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    AMD processors are already known for running hotter than most... I'd be more worried about the heat coming from the other side. My case is hot enough as is, no need to add to it.

  4. Damnit... on Red vs Blue Meets The Sims · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Way to /. the site.... I'm having a bitch of a time trying to download the intro movie!

  5. Will the phone have.... on Nokia Phone Gets Virus Protection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Automatic updates?? That would be interesting...

  6. Re:To help explain security... on Security Alert · · Score: 0

    If I had mod points I'd for sure give you flamebait. Congrats, you've proven to me that you're obviously a homosexual with no friends. Promptly jump off a cliff because no one likes you. :) And... have a nice day. -1, Flamebait

  7. Re:But... on Antarctic Telescope? · · Score: 1

    Good points indeed... ;)

  8. To help explain security... on Security Alert · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why don't you demonstrate security flaws instead of just explaining them? Show your board or whoever actuall real-time exploits and flaws so they understand what the consequences are. If not you could always use a crayon and paper... it's how I taught my mother to use email. :)

  9. Re:But... on Antarctic Telescope? · · Score: 1

    "Personally I'd rather have a bunch of land telescopes rather than 1 space telescope." Okay, that sounds fair... but being that the Antarctic telescope is only usable six months out of the year, since it's at the end of the Earth and all... Also the Hubble is in constant use 24/7. I never said it could just "jet" it's way into space and get newer images. I simply stated it has a bigger field of view. So you'd rather have a bunch of telescopes placed around the Earth.. Don't we already have "a bunch" of telescopes around the Earth? Fine, but are you going to pay for all these new telescopes? Then you need to pay for the staff to man them, I'd rather just do it from one orbiting telescope and have NASA manage it. Anyway, good luck with your "bunch" of telescopes that you can't afford. :)

  10. But... on Antarctic Telescope? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Would this telescope be as beneficial as the Hubble considering the Hubble isn't attached to any surface and can freely move in space... This Antartic version would have limited viewing capabilities, so which would you rather have?

  11. What about.... on Samsung Introduces Phone With Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    ...USB, I think it would be down-right neato if you could plug your phone into your computer and upload data to it via USB! What will they come up with next?

  12. It makes sense... on More Microsoft Patents · · Score: 1

    Microsoft isn't doing this to collect on it... it's obvious that for 1, they don't need the money, for 2, who would go to court with Microsoft for double-clicking or using the tab button? Microsoft is a monopoly that the Government cannot break. Someone working for Microsoft has this stroke of genius to patent these features so that someone or some company couldn't do so first. If another company/person were to beat Microsoft to the patent then Microsoft's software would be under someone elses patent. Microsoft just doesn't want anyone else to have leverage on them. It actually makes sense when you think about it....

  13. The teachers should... on Cheating Made Easy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Check and make sure they don't copy others' work. Isn't that part of a professors/teachers responsibility? Kids are getting more sly about things, but teachers need to keep up also.

  14. Sonic was... on A Look Back at Sonic the Hedgehog · · Score: 0

    A hedgehog on steroids. My favorite character by far! Notice how he never gets tired... he's juicing for sure.

  15. DAMNIT on Worm Developed for Nokia Series-60 Phones · · Score: -1, Redundant

    My phone keeps bluescreening!

  16. Don't on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1, Interesting

    People should not be allowed to live without aging. The world is already overpopulated as is, we don't need to prolong it anymore. I say live a healthy, happy, and productful life, then don't worry about death because you have lived a good life. Too many people will result in depletion of resources and overpopulation... I would prefer not to have that life for my grandkids one day.

  17. Too bad... on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 4, Funny

    Too bad Cisco didn't have this a couple weeks ago when they needed it!

  18. No point in being at the forefront? on Why I.T. Matters · · Score: 1

    You should always stay current. Being current means marketing. If I were applying for a new job and knew all the newest technologies I think I would have a better chance of being hired than someone that wasn't current. It shows your desire to learn and continue education, as well as comprehension of new standards.

  19. BSOD! on Fix a Troubled Mac · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does it explain what to do in the event you get a blue screen of death!?!?! ;)

  20. Wow on The DDR Workout - It's Official · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's right Jenny Craig, you're going down! Quickly buy your own DDR and get rid of that stair master!!!

  21. Re:What direction? on 4km WiFi Range w/ $5 DIY Antenna · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can also make an antenna out of an old tin can, which is very cool and very cheap for all those interested in an effective method for long range. http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.ht ml

  22. What direction? on 4km WiFi Range w/ $5 DIY Antenna · · Score: 3, Informative

    If it was omni-directional, then I'll be very impressed, but you can make a pringles antenna for very cheap, and get about 10 miles range (line of sight).

  23. When I was 13... on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 0

    When I was 13 years old I used to call Gateway and request help. Most of the time they didn't even give me an answer, they would just hang up. F U Gateway! :)

  24. Hacking? on FTC Porn Spam Regulation Now in Effect · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What about the people who get on wireless networks that they don't own, then send out tons of spam? Do you really think that they will follow this law? I don't think anyone cares and I really don't see the point in wasting money to make these lame laws that no one will listen to anyway. Use the money for more productive things.

  25. Re:offended on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 0

    I couldn't have said it better myself, good job JustKidding. :)
