  1. Re:I thought... on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 0

    Whatever the format, make sure it's country.

  2. Charged for news? on AP to Charge Members to Post Content Online · · Score: 1, Funny

    Does that mean they'll only charge slashdot once for dupes?

  3. Re:So who said space research on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 1
    "So who said space research does not benefit mankind?"

    That'd be the church. http://phyun5.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/no de52.html

  4. Re:CSI style on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 1

    Nope, I don't think they had crappy digital cameras back then.

  5. Re:twenty + comments on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 1

    You're right, of course. But slashdot's elitism isn't efficient enough. Instead we should be lording our ability to advance, adapt, and make rational decisions. To do that we simply need to gloat about our scientific prowess.

  6. Re:God willing... on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's right after the 11th commandment:
    Thou shalt not pay too much for a muffler.

  7. Re:LEDs are definitely becoming more powerful on LED Evolution Could Spell The End For Bulbs · · Score: 1

    The human eye is actually more sensative to green light. It's just that for some reason, companies love putting more watts into the blue lights than they used to with the green.

  8. Re:What's up with these "scare" articles? on America's Not So Up to Speed · · Score: 1

    People love picking on America. America is the muscular jock that beat up everyone he didn't agree with in high school. Now that he's older, he pumps gas, weights 350 lbs, and is balding with a bad case of dandruff too. It's easier to kick you enemy when he's down.

  9. Re:Fiber on America's Not So Up to Speed · · Score: 1

    Sooo. If we used more *fiber*, we'd be *reglular* like other countries?

  10. Re:Country size matters on America's Not So Up to Speed · · Score: 1

    Uhm, no, geography is very important, as is population density in cities/towns. Don't you wonder why party lines in rural areas in the US were used for so long? It's because it was cheaper for AT&T to set up. When the expected number of broadband users in rural areas surpasses the cost of implementation and maintenence, then you'll see Billy-Joe Jim-Bob get broadband.

  11. Re:Can a physics geek explain how you "freeze" lig on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 1

    To have a temperature, you need molecules. Space itself has no temperature, its the things in space that do.

  12. Re:Network Security App Name on Aggressive Network Self-Defense · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think InterSlice sounds more frightening.

  13. Re:Swatch, Snort, Portsentry on Aggressive Network Self-Defense · · Score: 0, Redundant

    For those too lazy to google:

  14. Re:Why? on Loophole found in Internet Domain Naming · · Score: 1
    "and who wants a .pro domain anyway?"

    Professionals, of course.

  15. Re:whatever happened to... on Meetup.com Ends Free Meetups · · Score: 1

    She caught you at the bar?
    You gotta wonder, what was *she* doing there.

  16. Re:It's not dead on Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead · · Score: 1

    Sorry my friend, death is a boolean expression, and I now have to throw an error. Would you prefer a hammer or a brick?

  17. Re:Obvious on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    What? That people who hold the Star Trek trademark don't want to lose it?

  18. Re:Boot from CD Porn distro on Lessons Proprietary Software Can Teach Open Source · · Score: 1

    Why not espionage too? It's already suited for trojans and viruses.

  19. Re:Wow! on Lessons Proprietary Software Can Teach Open Source · · Score: 1

    Another thing about that quote. It's also saying that with the presence of a monopoly, all those things are pointless anyway.

  20. Re:It's never worked with my parents either on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    Apartments don't have basements, at least that's what my downstairs neighbor said when I started cutting through.

  21. It's never worked with my parents either on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 4, Funny
    "But I'll pay!"

    "I'm sorry son, we'll never allow a hooker in this house, and that's final!"

  22. Re:Neutrino Detector... on Sea Life Wiped Out by Neutron Star Collision? · · Score: 1

    Don't we already have a supernova detector? It detected SN1987A.

  23. Re:Scary Stuff on Sea Life Wiped Out by Neutron Star Collision? · · Score: 1

    Not all of humanity, right? Only the half facing the burst.

  24. Re:Scary Stuff on Sea Life Wiped Out by Neutron Star Collision? · · Score: 1

    Is it more likely that millions if not billions of species would be killed by a car...ALL AT ONCE? The fear is of massive death, not one person's untimely demise.

  25. Re:I do not know much of US justice on Museum Director Indicted for Stealing NASA Artifacts · · Score: 1

    My passing judgement doesn't bother me, since I am neither an appointed judge or sequestered juror.
