  1. Re:1. To survive. ... ? on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 1

    Well... Most people won't to see their children and their children's children and so on survive.

  2. Huh? on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 1

    It looks like reasons 2 and 3 are kinda the same, or very similar.

  3. Re:Which books? on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there is the restaurant at the end of the universe, life, the universe and everything, and so long and thanks for all the fish. I have only read the first Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy but there is quite a bit of stuff from the trailer that was not in the book at all. So a better question would have been, did they add a lot of stuff or make the movie out of all books in the series?

  4. Which books? on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know which books this movie was based off of? Just the first? I have looked but I could not find an answer, thanks.

  5. Re:Outrageously exceeding authority on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    Well, it doesn't, but why would the police handcuff and tie him to a pole?

  6. Outrageously exceeding authority on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 0

    I don't understand how he was arrested, FTA "To be handcuffed, to have all those people looking on, to be cuffed to a pole". Does best buy have some kind of law enforcement authority now? How can they just handcuff him to a pole?

  7. A step in the right direction but.. on Longhorn to use UNIX-like User Permissions · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This might not change much, windows users are generally lazy. I see most people will just log in as an administrator and stay that way forever. The article didn't mention how easy it would be to switch to an administrator either like unix's su. No matter what microsoft does security will always be a huge problem, users don't want to change they like it easy.

  8. Too bad on EFF Guide To Blogging Anonymously · · Score: 4, Interesting

    that this person didn't see this article earlier

  9. unlocking? on AMD's New Venice Core Shows Overclocking Potential · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Will it be easy to unlock these though, because if there is potentially to destory it I would not risk it.

  10. humm.. on Wikipedia Planning a DVD Version · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought the whole idea behind wikipedia was that it is constantly changing. Will updated dvds be sold? And if so, will previous buyers get a discount?

  11. Re:Not quite. on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    What?!?! He wasn't the United States President in 1996?

  12. Re:3,000 miles a month? on Ride Along With a Real Verizon Wireless Tester · · Score: 1

    Ya that is city miles, plus i am sure he is not driving the entire day, he probably has to stop like non stop.

  13. Well... on 10.4 on Display at FOSE · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It did go gold about a week ago, so yes you should see it on store shelves soon.

  14. Bandwidth? on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The potential abuse of this service could be immense.

  15. Extreme edition on Preview of Intel's Dual-Core Extreme Edition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why do intel marketers think that if they name it "extreme edition" it will sell more?

  16. best april fools joke on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Save Enterprise · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is by far the best april fools joke today, please stop so slashdot can go out on a high note!

  17. auto comments? on Auto Code Commenting Software, Free Chairs · · Score: 1

    This is probably a joke, but comments are the most useful part of any code. I used to hate them finding it boring and useless. After a I wrote a few large projects I couldn't comment enough. Auto comments might not be as usefull rather then if you did them yourself

  18. Re:Not april's fools on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    I wasn't complaining, I was just saying it is useless. Could you ever fill 1 gigabyte worth of e-mail, let alone 2? It is nice to have virtually unlimted e-mail storage, but really, it is there for marketing purposes not because people will actually use it all.

  19. Not april's fools on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Finally a story that isn't a april fools joke. The new features are nice, but the 2GB storage? Again pretty useless.

  20. Re:In other news.. on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I think it has finally evaporated.

  21. OS XI on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Will apple ever upgarde the name to mac OS 11? I know that apple OS X name is pretty much like microsoft windows, but hasn't there been enough upgrades to warrent the version name upgrade, or a better question would be how is it they even decided to upgrade the version name by 1?

  22. Re:Favourite Space Game... on In Space No One Can Hear You Sigh · · Score: 1

    Mine was termianl velocity, it was so good at the time, even now it beats out a lot of the games made today in the funess(yes I know it's not a word) factor.
