  1. news? on Team Aims To Create Pure Evil AI · · Score: 4, Informative

    TFA is from October 2008.

  2. Re:Like to see this replicated on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    He's not saying that the medical bills would be increased simply to encourage donation, he's saying that they would already be expensive anyway due to the nature of the procedure...cool your jets.

  3. Re:So much for the seeds of .... on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1

    agreed. roundabouts are a terrible idea, stop using them as the solution to every traffic problem.

    Also:
    merge lane on fast roads.
    How do you replace an intersection with a merge lane?

  4. Re:Shocked on Logged In or Out, Facebook Is Watching You · · Score: 1

    Okay, so I'm fairly certain that your main problem is that you can't read. For the record, "on purpose" and "intentionally" mean the same thing. He said that. Also:

    The fact that you keep replying to me is more evidence of you denial than anything.

    The same could be said for you. And in conclusion, you spelled "insightful" wrong in your signature.

  5. Don't ruin it for all of us. on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just purchased a 55mw green laser a couple months ago, and I love it. It goes for miles with a clear, visible beam at night. It can even pop black balloons at close range! I take care to look for low flying aircraft before I point it into the sky, and I always make sure that it's not being aimed at anyone. Time-lapse laser photography is very good fun, too. I really wish idiots like these two wouldn't ruin it for the rest of us.

  6. Re:Correct decision on EBay Hacker's Conviction Upheld · · Score: 1

    Right on, it's not like the sysadmin's purpose is to keep the services running or anything. Just shut down the entire university mail server that serves 50,000+ people.

  7. Re:Maybe I'm new here... on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 2, Informative

    If it ignored robots.txt, she'd have some sort of a case. the whole point is that she didn't even have a robots.txt

    i'd also like to point out that the spam prevention word for this post was "sucked"

  8. Ghostbusters on Email Servers Will Choke, Says Spamhaus · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a certain scene from ghostbusters. Hope it doesn't turn out exactly the same though..

  9. Re:So dont do business with them on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1

    God damn it, I just got a checking account with them. Oh well, I'll switch when it becomes convenient.

  10. Re:Treasure hunt on Alternate Reality Gaming V2.0 · · Score: 1

    every time i see this one kid at my school, i always lose ;) i love the game.

  11. Re:My interest is piqued. But... on IBM and Fuji Announce Tape Storage Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Simple calculus? Like, you mean, elementary school geometry? How'd you even get a circumference of 80 from a diameter of 13 anyway? Am I missing something here?

  12. Re:Burial in Ancient Rock! on Radioactive Warning for Future Generations · · Score: 1

    I know, "absurd" is the quality I was trying to apply to the parent's idea.

  13. Re:Important for the Old Debate on 2.6 Linux Kernel in Need of an Overhaul? · · Score: 1

    Wow, my friend is having that problem i think. Do you think you could try to find that link again?

  14. Re:Burial in Ancient Rock! on Radioactive Warning for Future Generations · · Score: 1

    That's a horrible idea, really. You want to put an active nuclear bomb inside to keep them from finding nuclear waste? Thats like cutting off someone's head so they don't shoot themselves.

  15. Re:yes, they do! on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1

    Our engineering teacher (i go to a technical high school) just decided to start teaching us C++...so yeah, I guess you just have to have a good teacher.

  16. Re:Force Field? on Mysterious 'Forcefield' Tested on US Tanks · · Score: 1

    like an automatic cannon? i doubt that would go over well with infantry.

  17. Re:Irony... on States Pass Thousands of Info Restriction Laws · · Score: 1

    It's disturbing to realize that its ironic for most slashdot articles today...

  18. Re:Here's some more. on Google's Response to the DoJ Motion · · Score: 1

    The motion also reveals the government originally sought from Google an electronic file containing "all URL's that are available to be located through a query on your company's search engine as of July 1, 2005." Wow. They're stupid.

  19. Re:Oh Great... on New High Speed Wireless Chipset from IBM · · Score: 1

    because innovations happen very fast, and that's a good thing. you don't have to get the latest stuff anyway.

  20. Re:BitComet anyone? on BitTorrent Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    i think you meant to compare Bitcomet to windows, thank you.

  21. Re:But the real question is... on Turn an Optical Mouse into a Scanner · · Score: 1

    that would kill your battery. still a pretty neat idea though.

  22. Re:RSS + Coral Cache on Apple Laptop Reliability Survey · · Score: 1

    Did the three people who replied completely miss the point? The guy wants someone to make a script that automagically makes the webpage get cached in coral as soon as it sees a new article, so if the site is slashdotted there will already be a cached copy available. This isn't appending links automatically, its not forcing you to use the cache. It's just making sure there is a cache there in case you need to use it.

  23. Back to the future? on Panasonic R&D 'House of the Future' To Open · · Score: 0

    (CBS) The last thousand years have seen dramatic changes in the human home: flush toilets, electric lights and air-conditioning, among them.
    Now, as the millennium approaches, we're looking ahead to what could be the ultimate dream home. From Japan, CBS News Correspondent Barry Petersen reports.

  24. Re:Axe Grinding on 5,198 Software Flaws Found in 2005 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That is messed up. You're right, simply updating a vulnerability doesn't make it a new one. You know why Linux and co. have more updated ones, though? Because people can actually see the bugs in the code!
