  1. Obligatory on NASA Wins Nanotechnology Award · · Score: 4, Funny

    YAY NASA! Go inanimate carbon rod!

  2. Previous art no longer holds up? Awesome on Vonage Loses Appeal; Verizon Owed $120 Million · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dibs on patenting the wheel.

  3. We need it for the electric car on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1

    We need Solar and Nuclear en mass to supply the electric/hydrogen for the next fuel source. At least that's how I see it. Here's my shot in the dark which I could be totally wrong:Disposing of Nuclear waste should be easy. Just put it back where you got it. I mean there has to be a lot of uninhabited areas to dump waste. After all, the earth supplied it to begin with.

  4. Obligatory AC/DC on Japan's Melody Roads Play Music as You Drive · · Score: 1

    As cool sounding as the song is, I'm not sure I'd really I'd want to drive on a road that plays,"Highway to Hell".

  5. Re:What happens when... on Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation · · Score: 2, Funny

    screw that! A gun that disables microprocessors?! I'm worried about more than stupid cop cars. In midflight, there goes planes, spaceships, satellites, and missiles... Remind me in case of nuclear war to drive 100mph down the interstate for the sake of the world.

  6. Here is a marketing idea on Facial Recognition Vending Machine Debuts · · Score: 4, Funny

    Put a Vending Machine with masks of old people in it next to it. Intelligent kids can buy cigs for their friends and make a profit too. Everyone wins.

  7. Re:Air Wolf on Predator-Style Helmets Allow Pilots to See Through Planes · · Score: 1

    Air Wolf was an arcade side scrolling shooter which was very fun but a quarter eater.

  8. People waste money all the time on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 1

    News at 11. Who cares if some money is spent searching for intelligent life. We learned at least one major breakthrough by doing this that was already previously theorized that P2P Internet can be used like a supercomputer.

  9. My standard anti-corporate response. on Former Intel CEO Rips Medical Research · · Score: 2

    If someone actually cured the diseases, they wouldn't be making billions selling drugs for them.

  10. This sounds reasonable on Nintendo's Iwata Says Old Console Cycle Dead · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Personally, I didn't like any of the systems of this generation. PS3 was too expensive, and doesn't have a lot of games. Xbox360 dies on you. I'm not the type that would like the Wiimote controller.

    Unless a MMOG or competitive game(besides Halo3, FPS were meant for the mouse) comes out on console, I'll just stick with PC gaming.

  11. Mod parent up funny on Paying People to Argue With You · · Score: 1

    Even though he forgot to promote the buying of SCO stock so his own shares go up in value.

  12. I eat crow on 3 Bots Win Pentagon's Robotic Rally · · Score: 1

    I thought these things weren't going to happen for at least a decade(the desert challenge that is).

  13. Sure you're trying to fight terrorists on Schneier On the War On the Unexpected · · Score: 1

    But you're also protecting yourself against ninjas and the Spanish Inquisition.

  14. I always thought we'd see the reverse on GPS Used As Defence In Radar Speeding Case · · Score: 1

    If this guy's case doesn't hold up in court then we'll have a precedent against using GPS to give speeding tickets.

  15. Re:FEMA candidate Slogans on FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing · · Score: 1

    You do realize that giving it your mod and then posting in the comments deletes your mod point.

  16. FEMA's next step? on FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey, lets stage a minor disaster that we can handle and are prepared for so we can look like heroes fixing it.

  17. But but, I learned on Slashdot just yesterday on Identity Thieves Not Big On Technology · · Score: 2, Funny
  18. Is it going to ban P2P video games too? on FTC To Take a Second Look at P2P · · Score: 1

    P2P has been used in video games for a long time. In fact serverless P2P MMORPGS are feasable with enough anti-hack code. The only problem stopping true P2P from becoming big is the NATS on routers everyone uses. I think once IPV6 becomes popular, there will be a whole new generation of P2P. There are two reasons IPV6 will be a boon to P2P. The first is obvious: With everyone having a unique IP, you don't need a server to get a list of IPs, you can just ping IPs yourself as if it was a phone book. The second is the NAT issue mentioned earlier.

    One thing that P2P brings to stuff like FPS is that it halves the latency. Another thing P2P does is that it doesn't need expensive servers to run constantly. I was writing an interesting MMORPG fighter:www.roamingdragon.com and I was able to write server/client code and play over the net with two machines that had no NAT, but I abandoned the project because everyone uses a router. Very few people will disconnect their router to play a video game and everyone needs high speed internet(low latency) to play. Other than those problems, the game played nicely multi-player.

  19. Madden 200x on On Provoking Emotions Via Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    That game pisses me off so bad when my friend scores more points than me.

  20. Re:This CAN be stopped on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Return a video game? Where is the dream world you're writing from?

    It's still our world, he's just thinking its the late 80's or early 90's when the stores did this. I once even bought a game at Electronic's Boutique then when they wouldn't take it back, I took it back to Babbages and they were cool with it.

  21. I'm cheering for Google for my first time on Vonage Goes To Court III - The AT&T Suit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I didn't realize until now how much AT&T and Verizon are in bed. Google saw this when the 700mhz spectrum went up for auction. The government is supposed to regulate monopolies, but monopolies seem to be doing the regulation of the government.

  22. I thought it was for a different reason on Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Cockroaches are spread out and hidden in walls so they're in places that less radiation will hit. After nuclear winter, they can eat all the carcasses of higher life forms and just plain survive. I never thought,"Hey, cockroaches can withstand more heat than other living organisms." We all know the bacteria that lives in deep sea vents will last because it doesn't get it's energy from the sun, and its shielded from the radiation above ground. Life will continue after nuclear winter, that is certain, but will human life continue is the question.

  23. Re:An obvious question? on Invisible Solar Nano Cells Promise Clean Energy · · Score: 0

    Outside a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, you need carbon nanowires to read.

  24. Re:Read the bible lately? on Halo In Church Points Out ESRB Flaws · · Score: 1

    You do know what the "water into wine" miracle signifies don't you? Not many people do.
    Isaiah1:21 The city that once was faithful is behaving like a whore! At one time it was filled with righteous people, but now only murderers remain. 22 Jerusalem, you were once like silver, but now you are worthless; you were like good wine, but now you are only water.

    Jesus came to turn unrighteous people into righteous citizens of the Kingdom. And don't forget that this wine being served last is better than the first.

  25. Beastfu on A Case for Video Game Remakes · · Score: 1

    I also liked Racing Destruction Set. I'm still waiting for a new racing game that involves being able to make all sorts of tracks in all sorts of gravity. Just the thought of flying off the track at the right angle to get further ahead in the game or even on a faster track has alure to a certain degree of us. And if that doesn't settle it, imagine allowing you to upload your tracks onto the net, and voting to show the best tracks. Not even counting netplay racing vs each other. Is there even a netplay racing game everyone plays yet?
