  1. Re:Obvious solution on Recession Cuts Operation That Uses Hair To Clean Up Oil · · Score: 3, Funny

    I heard all the dead drug dealers in the sea off the coast of Mexico will soak up any oil that goes their way.

  2. Re:"ATM's are pretty uninteresting" on Hacker Develops ATM Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Imagine if you tell your partner "at 2am it's gonna dispense all the money, make sure you're standing there with a big bag to catch it all".

    That's be very interesting to most thieves.

  3. Re:"personal pin code" on Hacker Develops ATM Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Maybe you meant to say "personal PIN number"...?

  5. Re:Can it run adblock, flashblock and noscript? on Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome · · Score: 1

    I just assumed that people would know the difference between 'and' and 'or' on Slashdot.

    Mea culpa.

  6. Re:Can it run adblock, flashblock and noscript? on Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome · · Score: 1

    Which part of the word 'and' is confusing you?

  7. Can it run adblock, flashblock and noscript? on Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Because if it can't....

  8. I'm sure this will receive wide publicity on Second Inquiry Exonerates Climatic Research Unit · · Score: 1

    This news will be all over the TV, blogosphere and Internet discussion groups in a matter of hours.

    Oh, wait...

    (Apologies for using the word "blogosphere")

  9. Could be worse on State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor · · Score: 1

    At least he wasn't looking at willies...

  10. Re:ENOUGH ALREADY on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping some of it washes up on the private beaches of the rich people who are lobbying against offshore wind farms because "they spoil the view".

  11. Re:Dear Aunt, on Rest In Peas — the Death of Speech Recognition · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for people to start controlling power stations with one of those...

  12. Re:bound to start burning... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    So.....we're about to convert one of the biggest oil fields in the world directly into CO2 without even getting the energy from it?

    Burn: Apocalypse
    No burn: Apocalypse

    Hard to see a way out of this one if the oil is coming out under pressure.

  13. Re:Don't worry BP ... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Would Obama make them pay for cleanup if it was a US company?

  14. Re:Uninformative documents on Win7 Can Delete All System Restore Points On Reboot · · Score: 1

    You need to read up on what a "shadow copy" is.

    No files are "saved", a snapshot is made of the MFT and areas of the disk are marked so that if a file is overwritten it won't overwrite the disk sectors where the original file is stored.

    Any notion that there's some sort of hidden zip file somewhere with a backup of the system files in it is completely wrong.

  15. The really scary part is... on Win7 Can Delete All System Restore Points On Reboot · · Score: 1

    The scary part of that story is that it takes "several minutes" to delete it.

  16. Original? on Court Allows Unmasking of P2P Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Um, we've got this thing called "Google", you can type words into it and it finds pages with those words on them.

    You could try it with those words...see what happens.

  17. Re:A Constitutional what now? on Court Allows Unmasking of P2P Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Do you think it's right to post "scolding political criticism" anonymously? Maybe what the law should be protecting is the ability to respond to your critics.

  18. Re:No matter on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    ...either that or to ensure the longest download times.

  19. Re:DRM on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just call it "copy protection" when you talk to average Joes.

  20. Re:Apple also owns h264 patents on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    Yes...except the H.264 licensing fees aren't granted in perpetuity.

    Quite the opposite in fact, e.g. they've given the exact date when "free for internet video" becomes null and void (December 31, 2015).

  21. What they SHOULD do on Recourse For Draconian Encryption Requirements? · · Score: 1

    They should be using web-based email, that way the mail leaves their servers.

  22. Re:I feel the pain... on ARM-Based Servers Coming In 2011 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MS provides email, Outlook, SQL and web server applications. Why would you need anything more?

  23. Re:Too bad if the connection drops out... on UK Docs Perform First Remote-Control Heart Surgery · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is why we need to demand more net neutrality!

  24. Re:Indians! on Government Approves First US Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 1

    I like the way the Interior Secretary is wearing a US Cavalry hat in the article.

    (minus the badge...)

  25. Re:About damn time. on Government Approves First US Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 1

    The "worst case" scenario for a pebble bed reactor is, um, nothing.

    Maybe one of the pebbles could get jammed in the inspection chute or something (it happened in Germany!) but you could take all the time you needed to figure out how to unjam it.

    (And I assume a more modern plant would have two chutes...)
