  1. Re:Brave new world on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    Yes, sure, because the Dutch "nobly" smoke weed and have sex with hookers.

    Nah, that's just something we provide for the tourists.

  2. Re:Windows programming is purposely vague.. on Visual Studio Hacks · · Score: 1

    /usr/share/man/*

  3. How does this compare to... on Spring into Technical Writing · · Score: 1
  4. Re:The problem with Hydrogen on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    Water vapor, good old H2O is also a powerful greenhouse gas.

    Except that if you pump enough of it into the atmosphere it condenses into clouds, which reflect solar energy. It's a built-in negative feedback loop that keeps the temperature bearable.

  5. Re:Scientists. on Space Weather Warning · · Score: 2, Informative

    You mean "everybody else" as in the Richter scale (3.5-8)? Or the Beaufort scale (0-12)? Or the stellar magnitude scale (-3.5 - ~25)? Or the Fujita scale (F0-F5)?

  6. Never again on A Non-Dogmatic History of the GUI · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    Saying that "Apple invented the GUI" or "Apple ripped off the idea from PARC" is overly simplistic, but saying that "Xerox invented the GUI" is equally so. In fact each team borrowed liberally from all GUIs that had been created in the past, added their own unique contributions, and paved the way for other teams to move forward in the future.

    Thank god that won't happen anymore, now that we have software patents.

  7. Re:infinitely improbable on Pi: Less Random Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    I wrote a Pi calculating program, that worked in base Pi. It didn't take long at all to compute pi, and it is a great source of random binary. The answer I got was "10".

    Then your program is wrong. You should have gotten "1".

  8. The verdict on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    And the verdict:

    "Get a life."

  9. No, the sky is not falling. on Can an Open Source Project Be Acquired? · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/message.html:

    JasperReports will stay open source forever

    So it's probably premature to cry wolf.

  10. Next step on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 1

    Can't wait till someone submits a slashdot story to slashdot and it gets accepted. Recursive dupe!

  11. Re:Movie reviews usually suck. on BBC Reviews Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    I never think that Penny Arcade comics are funny

    What - you mean they're supposed to be funny?

    Well, fancy that.

  12. Re:Comsumers lose on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    But but but they're promising!

    From TFA: Under the new policy, H-P plans to leave prices in Europe the same even if the dollar rises.

    But of course by that time they could well have a new new policy.
