  1. New unit of height! for Space Buildings on The Quest To Make Super-Cold Quantum Blobs in Space (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    They launched the rocket about 90 miles past the atmosphere's boundary of outer space, monitoring a livestream from a heated building nearby.

    How tall was the heated building? (in units of "single-story apartment")

  2. Re:Strictly speaking... on The Last Time Oceans Got This Acidic This Fast, 96% of Marine Life Went Extinct · · Score: 1

    No, its more like saying a fat person is becoming skinnier. - they can't become more acidic until they cross the line to become acidic in the first place.

  3. Re:Another easy to misread title on Samsung Also Making a Smartwatch · · Score: 2

    I read it as sandwich too. But then again, I would rather have a sandwich than a smartwatch.

  4. Re:APPLE NANO CAR ?? on $3,000 Tata Nano Car Coming To US · · Score: 1

    no windshield!

  5. Re:My god, slashdot editors are retarded on Leak Hints Windows 8 Tablets May Be Dearer Than Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    Rejected tablet

  6. Re:Everyone's thinking it. on Half of India Without Electricity As Power Grid Crisis Deepens · · Score: 2

    Have they tried rebooting the power grid?

  7. Re:48fps is too fast on Skype Bug Sends Messages To Random Contacts · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did you post this comment from Skype?

  8. That's the best they can do? on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If the goal is to simplify the interface they have failed. The first screenshot in the article: "Computer" is the most cluttered confusing thing I have seen in a long time. I counted 8 icons of computer screens.

  9. What is the point of a driverless car? on Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads · · Score: 1

    I am all for automating stuff that can help you while driving, but what is the point of a driver-less car? If it is for safety, I don't see it working. What does the car do when it doesn't know what to do? Just stop? - that might be the worst choice. You would have to change the road infrastructure completely, and at that point it would probably be safer to not allow human drivers.

  10. Re:Standardization on Can the New Digital Readers Save the Newspapers? · · Score: 1

    Quote: The browser makes a crappy newspaper.

      Is that because:
      - it can't be crumpled into a ball to start a fire?
      - it is awkward to place in the bottom of a birdcage?
      - fish and chips cannot be wrapped in it?

      If a dedicated hardware reader has advantages that make it easier to read and more portable what is to stop equivalent technology from showing up in laptops?

  11. Re:That's really a shame. on Fossett's Plane Found · · Score: 2, Funny

    So true, just like when they found Amelia Earhart's plane last year. Major news outlets didn't think it was newsworthy enough to run the story at all.

  12. Re:Jesus. on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Features? It doesn't need new features, most people don't use the features it already has. What it needs is not to suck!

    I think you nailed it. The article should be "20 features Windows 7 Should Remove."

  13. Re:Keyboard, good and bad on Dell Shows Off Its Eee PC Rival · · Score: 1

    Where are the function keys??? There is enough space for them. Page up/down seem to be missing too. At least they didn't forget that all important windows key.

  14. Re:Love It or Hate It? on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 2, Funny

    forget the elephant. I wanna see a man-bear-pig!

  15. Perfect, for those waiting out the HD wars... on 33 MegaPixel TV in 2015 · · Score: 1

    Just wait a little longer and you can have this AND maybe even bypass Blew Ray. I've decided my "big" TV will be the one that does the best job displaying standard definition. Any suggestions?

  16. Re:htmlslideshow - 2008? on Top Ten Scientific Discoveries of 2007 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe next year they will discover that you can put more than one paragraph on a web page.

  17. Re:Misguided or simply lazy on 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, the incorrectly documented jumper.

  18. Re:I've got one! on Finding an Innovation SSI 2001 Soundcard? · · Score: 1

    My server is down right now. If anyone has a PDIUC508 Microchannel Arcnet card or know where I could get one, please tell me.

  19. I've got one! on Finding an Innovation SSI 2001 Soundcard? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...but I'm keeping it for my own sound card museum. That I just started.
