  1. JUST SCAREMONGERING on Is the iPod Generation Going Deaf? · · Score: 1

    "Well I've been LISTENING TO MY IPOD SINCE GEN 1 and I can honestly say it HASN'T AFFECTED MY HEARING ONE JOT"

  2. Neanderthal Olympics on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    if they were still alive today they would take all the top spots in just about any sport you can think of

    if the bbc documentary I watched is anything to go by then this isn't true at all. Apparently Neanderthals were used to hunting in dense woodland and as a result hunted by creeping up close to their prey and stabbing them with flightless spears.

    Humans however were used to hunting over large distances and were therefore adept at running and throwing their spears.

    So in summary if an Neanderthal found himself at the modern day Olympics, he would have to persuade the organisers to include creeping and stabbing in order to come home with a decent medal haul!

  3. GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE NOW on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    "if google were the government" IndianWells GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE NOW!! The government know you are onto them and the feds are coming for you as I type. I have arranged for a contact to meet you outside your house who will take you to a man called 'Little Weaner' who will issue you with fake documents. Just to be clear go to the man outside your house and tell him you'd like to see his Little Weaner.

  4. Re:Gmail on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    So basically you want to write a computer program to see how many friends you've got?? Jesus, how much of a geek are you ;)

  5. beware on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    Before we go get a room with IBM in gratitude, just remember for a moment that he is in fact a withered yellow toothed dude in a black hooded cloak, offering you a gift from his gnarled, bony hand.

    However in this case I think we're ok, because he's just trying to get one over on a different bad-ass hooded dude.

  6. Obligatory Microsoft Pun... on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: 1

    Isn't negative information what the rest of us call FUD? In that case Microsoft have known about this for years!

  7. Re:Simpsons. on Will AJAX Threaten Windows Desktop? · · Score: 1

    The folk who find this funny are the very folk who already know it's from the simpsons!

  8. Re:The Scientists Had No Right... on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 1

    they aren't sitting on the cure for cancer or something.
    Are you ... sure?

  9. It's easy with one button login on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 1

    No problem, I'll just modify my scripts! I bank with Smile and their login screen asks for a different piece of information each time. Annoyed with having to recall this information (I'm usually tense anyway if I have to deal with banking), I designed a script that pulls password stuff out of my Mac Keychain and does a quick screen scrape of the login page to put the right piece of information in the right field. And then it presses the login button for me. The best bit is that with my quicksilver trigger key (a kind of hotkey) I now have one handed banking which is a godsend when you have a phone in one hand. Ok for safety I do have to type my keychain password but I can do that one handed. I use this approach to log on to everything, even slashdot. Did anybody say Automator action? ;)

  10. Not the place on Cheap to Audiophile with Simple Hacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    For God's sake there are children reading - must we discuss audiophillia on slashdot??
