  1. Office Space on What Movies Got Computers Right? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think OfficeSpace hit computers dead on especially the printer.

  2. See the problem with you on Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You · · Score: 1

    You never know if you is singular or plural. At least down south they have Ya'll, and locally where I live it's Yinz.

  3. LOL on Chess Grandmaster Kasparov Versus President Putin · · Score: 1

    He was just thinking 6 moves ahead, unlike Kasparov who lost one of his major pieces early in his game against Deep Blue.

  4. I love Vista on FSF Launches "BadVista" Campaign · · Score: 1, Funny

    Its so bad.

  5. Lots of reasons, here's 4 on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    1)I liked Netscape, but it wouldn't work on a certain version of Windows because they took a DLL out.

    2) M$ did everything in its power to obfuscate winsock through the 90's. I wanted to make the first MMORPG, but couldn't because there was no way for me to learn winsock.

    3) By the time I could figure stuff out with winsock, they go to XP, and now my DOS based game can't be played except on DOS emulators.

    4) If another company makes a good application. M$ will release its code monkeys to make a duplicate application so the original author never gets a foothold in application creation.

    M$ competes with every software company with claw, tooth, and nail even though M$ was already the leader in software.

  6. Anyone know how to submit a resume there on Interplay Developing $75 Million Fallout MMOG · · Score: 1

    Interplay's main website made my geocities website look professional. There's no links to careers though. Anyone have a link. I'd like to be one of the people who made Wasteland online.

  7. Why do they have hydrogen cars in Finland then? on Hydrogen Won't Save Our Economy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just because it takes alot of energy to create the fuel, doesn't mean the fuel isn't usable on cars. You don't see a whole lot of space shuttles running on coal.

  8. Re:Works great until... on Create Living Cells With an Inkjet Printer · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet they'll charge you an arm and a leg.

  9. So I make a vijeo game for XBOX360 on Microsoft Publishes Free XBox Development Tools · · Score: 1

    Who's gonna publish my game after I make it?

  10. Re:Go Penny Arcade. on Child's Play Collect Almost Half a Million Dollars · · Score: 1

    I got banned for posting a link to a joke about Pluto the website: Asteroid 14340 or something. I called it Laeao or something. It was just a joke, but they have rules about posting links to websites that I forgot. Really the admins had it out for me for a while.

  11. Go Penny Arcade. on Child's Play Collect Almost Half a Million Dollars · · Score: 1

    Even though I am banned on their forums, I think this is great. I have dreams myself of opening a warehouse of games, where kids can come in and play all sorts of video games in a social setting(non profit). Basically I have to get my act together to accomplish it though.

  12. Spacial Recognition is needed to think on Even The Blind Get Deja Vu · · Score: 1

    Even if you're blind, you need to know your room to navigate and think. I get so much flack about my implementation of Artificial Intelligence that it needs a modern 3d card and high end CAD to work because people tell me it has no eyes so it can't think for itself. I have half a notion to spend my entire life on AI, but I won't since there are more pressing matters to attend to.

  13. Thanks for all the replies on The Math Behind PageRank · · Score: 1

    I now have a nice basic understanding of Google page ranking system. Thats all I was asking for.

  14. I joke a lot on Slashdot, but serious question on The Math Behind PageRank · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I skimmed the article and didn't find what I wanted to find. If you make a webpage that you want ranked high, what do you do? Do you make 100 geocities accounts and provide links to your main website, or what? I'm just wondering this out of curiosity, not out of need.

  15. I for one, do not welcome our new Overlords on Tiny Particle With No Charge Discovered · · Score: 4, Funny

    We must defeat the Axion of evil.

  16. I find it funny, I sent them a resume and an idea on Is Google Too Smart For Its Own Good? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The idea was to become a leader in video. I told them to sign royalty deals with television and movie copywright holders to host what could be bigger than on demand. You could have almost any movie or television show ever made for video download. I sent them this last year.

  17. So there's 3 billion people on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 1

    9% of people in US are Millionares. 9% of 300 million is 27million. 27 goes into 3 billion as 1%. This makes sense because a lot of people in the world don't have money at all and are just dying of disease and lack of food. I was dumb. I went to school so I could cure diseases. I shoulda just donated my college tuition to the poor, it woulda done me more good. I programmed from when I was 6 until I'm 29, and I can't find a single job in what people call a booming tech industry, I still find it absurd.

  18. Um, Finland already runs on hydrogen fuel on Blood Protein Used to Split Water · · Score: 1

    Finland made hydrogen fuel cells that they use for many things such as electricity when boating. They say it only takes 8 fuel cells to theoretically power a car, but the article I read was years old. I've been told Finland already has electric cars.

    Heresay, I do say.

  19. I'm still trying to decode the secret website on Grad-School Thesis Becomes PS3 Game · · Score: 2, Funny

    Iloveflowbees.com

  20. Then he'd be Hung Wang. on Student Makes a Million Online, Gets Deported · · Score: 1

    Oh you mean physically hung. Then its an offcolor joke if you look at it that way. I'm talking his name.

  21. Re:1 Million Dollars? on Student Makes a Million Online, Gets Deported · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thanks for the clarification, I remember when 300 yen equalled a dollar. I suddenly thought that somehow the Chinese Economy was booming more than I imagined. $50,000 is doable in a year of online gaming if you really know what you're doing and have no need for sleep. I can't see anyone making a million unless they're employing a mass amount of workers. For example, you can make $2.50-$5 an hour selling gold on WOW with a level 60 character. If you employ Chinese for .50 an hour, you're making a 2 or 3$ an hour profit if you don't have to invest in their computer too.

  22. Congradulations on a milestone on Laser Turns All Metals Black · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man has finally learned how to turn gold into something resembling lead.

  23. If you really wanted to archive its basic on Archiving Digital Data an Unsolved Problem · · Score: 1

    You get 3 DVDs. You have a system that reads all 3 DVDs. When a flaw is found in 1 DVD, the DVD is destroyed and a new DVD replaced in which then gets data from one of the other 2 DVDs which should be identical. The system would be like a giant juke box, rotating in 3 dvds every so often to check that all the data matches.

  24. Happy birthday to you, you belong in a zoo on Draconian Anti-Piracy Law Looms Over Australia · · Score: 1

    But we're all going to jail!

  25. Hey yinz guys, respect the Pittsburgh left on Life Without Traffic Signs · · Score: 1

    There's an unwritten rule in Pittsburgh that if there is a red light and it turns green: The first person turning left gets the right of way over the people going straight. Its a somewhat sane rule since by alleviating the guy turning, there will likely be more people going straight and the flow is maximized. Out of towners may get in an accident though, whether they know the rule or not because it takes some posturing.
