  1. Re:Will it work the same for all? on Bionic Arm Provides Hope for Amputees · · Score: 1

    Would this have to be custom made for every person?

    I doubt it. I do suspect there will be a lengthy training process each patient has to go through. Think how long it took you to learn to use your arms effectivly after you were born. Something similar will have to happen for these patients.

    Even more surprising is this trend. It seems the UK tops out as the most perverted English-Speaking nation, aswell.

    What is a few hours compaired with the pain of trying to reconstruct the data that you are likely never to get back?

  4. Re:"This worm is a 2." on Worm Wriggles Through Yahoo! Mail Flaw · · Score: 1

    Or that the worm did very poorly in the olympics?

    No, all it means is that the Candian judges were coerced into giving the Russian virus a better score.

  6. Re:I'd like fries with that on Human Genome Sequencing Completed · · Score: 1

    20/10 vision means that the eyes have 4 (2^2) times the density of light receptors as one with 20/20. 20/20, in layspeak means that one's eyes focus perfectly. 20/10 is a bit of a misnomer in reality, it generaly means that one has a higher receptor density. There is a reason why glasses and contact prescriptions are measured in diopters, it clears up alot of confusion.

  7. Re:Go Vegan on Retina Blood Vessels Predict Common Fatal Diseases · · Score: 1

    Thats quite a high cholesterol level for someone who eats nothing containing it. As for my self, I eat whatever I want, which includes lots of butter, meat, and fatty foods. I just make sure to be active and excercise. My cholesterol is under 100.

  10. Re:I want this stuff in my radiator on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 1

    Umm....unless you can find some way to ignite this stuff in your cylinders you are out of luck.

    For those who are not gearheads, an intercooler cools the hot air coming out of a turbocharger to increase effeciency (cold air burns better). A radiator cools the water cooling the rest of the engine so that it doesn't heat up an break stuff.

  11. Re:uuuuuu...huh? on Serenity Trailer Finally Released · · Score: 1

    The electro-magnetic waves created by energy-weapons and drives are so powerful they cause all metal in the near vicinity to reverberate. Or atleast that is my explanation for it.

    Normal condoms just aren't powerful enough for some folks out there.

    Why should anyone that posts on Slashdot worry about getting enough sex to create offspring in the first place?

    I think it would have been funnier as: "Now we can be Redhat's whores instead of Redmond's whores."

    That's great for loose sheets but what about scanning bound books? Aren't you then back to scanning a page, flip a page, scan a page, etc.?

    Cut the binding off?

  16. Re:required skills on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1

    You usually need licences to play with stuff that can kill someone. I just don't see a h4x0red computer getting up and stabbing anyone. Yet, atleast.

  17. Re:Old Versions on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    The current version is 5.08d. Just try downloading even 5.08c or any other version. You will be surprised. It doesnt play back DRM'ed .wma's.

  18. Re:DRM quality on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 5, Informative

    Pretty much all of the methods to remove DRM include re-encoding the WMA to something else. This takes even more quality from the recording than is already missing in the Napster version (they are encoded at 128kbps). Furthermore, it is damnned near impossible to do a digital re-encode nowadays. Microsoft has revoked the WMA-DRM licence from all the media players that allowed it to happen, including all but the most recent version of Winamp that only allows encrypted WMA output through DirectSound. No more using DSP plugins to write the data to the disk in a different format. The best you can hope for is something like Tunebite, which records the analog signal coming from your soundcard, which is not very good at all.

    It shouldn't be too hard of a task to port Linux drivers over to HURD. The BSD camp has been doing it for years.
