  1. Relativistic implications. on First Experimental Demonstration of a Trapped Rainbow Using Silicon · · Score: 0

    Does that mean that the photon experiences time? Or somehow we could experimentally test for its intrinsic mass?

  2. What about the legal implications? on Prince of Persia Source Code Released On Github · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Can he do that? Wont he get sued over?

  3. Re:Presumably on Defending Your Cellphone Against Malware · · Score: 0

    Any person sick of iOS contraints who jailbroken their phone has a lot to worry about malware. I personally blame the person going too slow in the speeding lane when it comes to the accident but that may be just me.

  4. Recycle anyone? on Cut Down On Nukes To Shave the Deficit · · Score: 0

    Currently the way weapons are built they cannot be used as fuel for powerplants due to the isotopes specific to weapons. They should make those weapons become fuel and cycle through the nuclear repertoire and be done with it.

  5. Re:Justification for Dead Baby Jokes? on Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200 · · Score: 0

    and I get the same score as this??? I know im not the sharpest commentary person but seriously the same score?? Given some retrospect, I understand that perhaps warranty issues are not the focal topic in discussion here, specially when it comes to home built electronics, well actually Id say its a monumental point when it comes to home built electronics, i get the same score as dead babies??. really?? Since we are on the subject, how does slashdots scoring system work? Id like to greet the moderators

  6. On the other hand.. on Undersea Cable Map Shows Where The Data Pipes Are · · Score: 0

    "In the mid-1990s, the NSA installed one such tap, say former intelligence officials familiar with the covert project. Using a special spy submarine, they say, agency personnel descended hundreds of feet into one of the oceans and sliced into a fiber-optic cable." If you have the resources to do that i bet you can get the maps either way...

  7. Wait... on Undersea Cable Map Shows Where The Data Pipes Are · · Score: 0

    Wasnt there a successful tapping of an underwater pipeline some time ago? ..of course its a security threat.

  8. Re:Forget that.... on 34% of iPhone Owners Think the 4 Is 4G · · Score: 0

    imac? .. no wait...

  9. Actually on 34% of iPhone Owners Think the 4 Is 4G · · Score: 0

    Would it be too hard to think that this was done on purpose? I like to think that companies as such are as sneaky as to lure consumers with misplaced 'technicalities'. A marketer's delight if you ask me.

  10. Justification? on Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200 · · Score: -1

    I am all for hackerish solutions, trust me. But perhaps the justification lies in warranty users have on backups. Devils advocate over here, I think this is great! will try it tonight.. good idea.

  11. Re:To identify... on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 0

    The entity might be private but not the database. They are *SO* selling that information, and appart from conspiracy theories that is the prime reason behind it. And thats a wrap people!

  12. Re:This may be a stupid question... maybe on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: 0

    If the question is how many DIFERENT devices it can control then: Since this is a computer sending diferent signals, I bet it covers the whole posible spectrum then I might presume it can control them all. Wouldnt you agree, there is a big computer there. If it is how many devices then it is stupid.

  13. Re:Capability? on The Ultimate Nintendo Console · · Score: 0

    yea.. I remember that... yeah nintendo and squaresoft all so happy... sony... yeah good TVs, microsoft is actually kinda cool you know they released this 3.11 already? Gee boy if things where all like that but something went wrong now did it? NOW THATS MY POINT. it all went wrong

  16. Re:Urea is too small on Just Add, Umm, Water · · Score: 0

    What happens if you add preasure, I bet marines are strong enough. Would that work?

  17. Ok wanna sell???? on New Numbers on Linux Market Share Soon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since Im an offtopic master, a misspeller and a karmawhored person, ill asume this: You wanna sell(by this I mean get people to use Linux). This is gong to be hard because regular pc users are drones and we all know that. You got to dazzle them. Most really interesting things either they take for granted or dont understand. So its gotta be simple and flashy, believeable and elegant. Just pop a copy of your favourite Knopix in their own machine, before they realize their machine just CHANGED asure them its OK and just show off for a while by stating this is actually not the best version but a cool one. Tell him he can even pick flavours. And that he doesnt have to turn his computer off and that that is good. Bla bla bla. me bored and sick of -1ing

  18. Hibrid Theory on New Numbers on Linux Market Share Soon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There is this theory that open source will eventually merge with its profit counterparts. The idea of software is just instructions for a computer. While the attempt of making all human beings speak the same language was just a failure (esperanto) a computer does not complain about learning a new language. A past story has something relevant to the subject. Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? The System being just one means its just a fine tuning -If you dam so complain about peoples grammar why not just implement spell check in /.!-

  19. Simbolical battle on Hollywood and NFL Fight TiVo · · Score: 0

    I think the know TIVO is not realy a threat. But should they win this legal battle it will open new doors; its legal repercutions are the objective of these powerfull people I believe. Who knows maybe one day youll need a permit to use those video capture cards. 1984 people!

  20. can it print images? on The BookMachine: On-Demand Book Printing in 3-5 Minutes · · Score: 0

    I wonder cause some books need the ilustrations to really flourish like... porn. Yeah yea troll away, all you need is a lame nickname and ONE single stupid post and you get bad karma, like.. whatever!

  21. Re:More American Arrogance? on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 0

    "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" How about: "During Roman empire do as Romans do" Not that I agree or anything. But English is the universal language and it will stay that way. Unless Esperanto makes some major comeback (joke). Besides Americans should not be talking about taking over shit. Examples: Vietnam, Corea, Nicaragua... who knows when this list ends. Recent examples... gee I cant recall but im sure there must be some.

  22. Re:Sure! on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 0

    dude if a real mathematician... I mean the real ones wouldlisten to your proposal hed be laughing so the his two balls off. Did you actually felt smart when you wrote that. 2 CAN equal one as axises can be curved and numbers ARE human invention so... and so on. No i dont believe math should be a sport but I got myself to think. Why not invent a highly fisical sport that requires highly mathematical and analitical thinking? that would be like SO cool!

  23. Re:I'm not surprised on Too Few American Scientists? Maybe Not · · Score: 0

    We are the upper management of the rest of the world. for a moment there I thought you where mentioning engineers... todays knights in shining armour. hero noble blabber... yeah I like that.

  24. Re:After 25 years in engineering I went elsewhere. on Too Few American Scientists? Maybe Not · · Score: 0

    Engineering is not all desk work... lemme expand. I had a really though time deciding my carreer and none other copared to engineering. Most engineering programs do involve desk work, well there are people who like desk work. But for those who dont I expect them to consider industrial engineering. Its quite different from all other areas and involves little desk work as you are the knowledgeable boss(not the big boss though, he WILL listen to you for its his job to) There is agro ing. but I dont like that. And Ind. is so related to bussiness you could be a great buisnessman with such ing degree. Actuall thats my plan so . Stop ranting and dont kill the hopes of them industrial engineers. Science to the world!

  25. I wont loose loyaly though... on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 0

    I am an avid FF user, and like a chain of events ever since the flaw was publicised I have been seen how FF cant handle certain web sites and find myself opening msie. I just feel so dumb. Still FF rules and we al know it. Its like they opened pandoras box!
