  1. An eye for an eye? on Irish Judge Orders 13-Year-Old To Surrender Xbox · · Score: 1

    Are we down to an eye for an eye kind of justice?

    Laws mean nothing, any lawyer will learn them all, but it takes an ethical person to be a good member of society. What this kid learned today is that next time, he better be sure not to be catched.

    Fast & easy is not always the best solution, as this judge will learn later in life.

  2. Security goes a long way... on Erasing CDs By Using 150,000 Volts of Electricity · · Score: 1

    Using "150,000 volt" and "most secure method" in the same article really made my eyebrows rise...

  3. Re:other uses for retired shuttle on NASA To Delay Endeavour By 10 Days · · Score: 1

    I think the last shuttle should be left connected to the ISS, after all, in space there's hardly any erosion, so it could be left there just in case it's required for any other spacial activity in the future, it could be used to kickstart the mars travel, as a warehouse, anything, while, once it's grounded, it will never lift off again...

    My three cents.

  4. Re:Reasonable Choices. on Engineering Election Debates With Subtle Cues · · Score: 1

    I see two problems:

    1.- It makes easy to be a sheep.
    You don't have to think, you just check the "worm".

    2.- Changes the main influencer.
    Before, someone interested in voting but without a clear decision, would talk with their friends and family, now they can just read the worm and get the feeling of getting the real social trend.

  5. Storage vs. cost he said on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    "Apple today updated its Xserve RAID storage system, a 3U high-availability, rack storage system to deliver 7 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity at a price of US$1.86 per GB." There you go, Apple wins again.

  6. Re:Ask Slashdot something obscure on Smart, Intelligent, Flatbed-like Scanners? · · Score: 1

    Could you use a Split-torque Epicyclic Eggbeater Gearbox? you can find it here : http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Split-torque_20Epic yclic_20Eggbeater_20Gearbox#1037379600/ Not really sure about the phlegm issue, tough... ;-)

  7. Re:Just a distraction on Think Secret's Nick dePlume Revealed · · Score: 1

    God! really are you such an -forget it- Jobs used an ALPHA version of the next OS -it's not even BETA yet- to show another ALPHA app some five months BEFORE release and you are bullying him? GET SOME LIFE! Besides, the lawsuit was made plenty of days BEFORE the MWSF keynote... it really takes some people...

  8. Asimov anyone? on Robolawyer to Handle Clickwraps? · · Score: 1

    Seems like a job for Asimov's interpretative analysis, though rather hard to code down, i guess...
