  1. Re:Old news. on Self-Assembling DNA Pyramids · · Score: 4, Funny

    Highly advanced scientists in the field of cloning do it asexually.

  2. Old news. on Self-Assembling DNA Pyramids · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bah, watch people mention a million things they can build from this thing. Big deal, I can build a whole person from DNA.

  3. Re:DNA Civilization. on Self-Assembling DNA Pyramids · · Score: 1

    "Egyptians created from DNA"

    So... Normal Egyptians? :P

  4. Does this mean... on Senate Fails To Reauthorize Patriot Act Provisions · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that they're finally listening to the people? Or are there no people to listen to, and we're just the minority?

  5. Re:No need after a while. on Seagate Pushes Hard Drive Platters to 160GB · · Score: 1

    Yes, I didn't mean that I absolutely couldn't fill it, I have that many data. I just don't need so big a drive because I'll never have all the data on the HD.

  6. Re:No need after a while. on Seagate Pushes Hard Drive Platters to 160GB · · Score: 1

    Yes, I can't fill 1 TB because I burn what I don't immediately need to DVDs.

  7. Re:No need after a while. on Seagate Pushes Hard Drive Platters to 160GB · · Score: 0

    Well, that's about 700 movies, I don't know of anyone owning more than 2 :P I'm not saying noone will ever need that ever, I'm just saying that the practical uses of a HDD that big are limited. Even if it's not 1 TB, it's 2, or 3, or 4. You'll stop needing more at some point.

  8. No need after a while. on Seagate Pushes Hard Drive Platters to 160GB · · Score: 1

    I am a packrat, I save everything I can get and I have found that I can't fill more than 1 TB, so I think in a year or so you'll only ever need one HDD (and they'll be cheap enough to get 2 and make a RAID array for security). I burn everything to DVDs and I have a few TB of files on DVDs, so with BluRay/HD-DVD I think pretty much all our storage needs are met. Also, as a preemptive strike, no, none of it is porn.

  9. Re:IBM only likes the "L" in LAMP on IBM Promotes Linux Partners to Highest Tier · · Score: 1

    Well, it is a company...

  10. Hello!? This is Slashdot! on ESA Moves Forward on New Electric Engine · · Score: 0, Troll

    You don't HAVE a girlfriend.

  11. So... on ESA Moves Forward on New Electric Engine · · Score: 1

    Does this mean we won't be needing the space elevator? :-)

  12. Ob FG on New Object Found at Edge of Solar System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Rupert, did you know that the word 'gullible' isnt in the dictionary? ...[passes dictionary to Rupert]... What's that, it ISNT? ...[takes dictionary]... Oh, Rupert, hoisted by my own petard! Haha! Haha!......I am so alone...

  13. And the number of those books is... on A New TCP/IP Classic · · Score: 1

    4.

  14. This makes you feel small. on Rat Brains Fly Planes · · Score: 1

    When you think about it, they got a neural network from a rat to fly a plane. It's just a bunch of cells, isn't it? But the rat's brain is just a bunch of these bunches, and our brain is just a bit larger. This makes me feel like a big neural network :(

  15. Indeed on Macedonia Deploys 5,000 Ubuntu Desktops in Schools · · Score: 1

    Yes, whenever I see that I keep wondering why they talk about only one section of Greece before realizing they're not :/ (for those who don't know, Greece is divided into geographical sections, the northernmost of which is called Macedonia, it is the southern part of the ancient Macedonia)

  16. Obviously! on A Solution for the Ten Letter Acrostic Puzzle? · · Score: 1

    If you want infinite health, chat "power overwhelming".

  17. It does feel like a hack. on The MySpace Generation · · Score: 1

    I have recently dabbled with MySpace's pages for a script I wrote, and it looks very sloppily written. If you go to the page that displays someone's friends, their name is passed in the URL along with some other useless data, such as both page number and range of results. I don't much care for it.

  18. That's just great. on BellSouth Wants to Rig the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    While we're at it, why don't we just sell the internet to Microsoft or some other big corporation and be done with it?

  19. Well... on TiVo Files Patent For RFID Schema · · Score: 1

    How long do you think it'll be before they track everyone with hypodermal RFID chips? At least we'll get some use out of it, like in this application.

  20. Acronyms? on Barenaked USB Drive · · Score: 1

    Wtf is H.E.L.P.?

  21. That's exactly why... on Is Wi-Fi Ruining College? · · Score: 1

    I don't keep notes. I find that by just paying attention (which I can't do as well while writing) I retain about 90%+ of the lecture. Besides, notes will just end up in a drawer somewhere and I'll end up studying from the textbook or not at all (actually going to all the classes and paying attention almost ensures a good final grade, for me at least).

  22. Bah... on Real Story of the Rogue Rootkit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's a shame what big companies can get away with. I mean, no matter how you look at this, a rootkit is a rootkit, there was nothing subjective about this. Yet, the fact that it was by Sony made people keep their mouths shut. It's a shame.

  23. No problem on Consumer Friendly Downloads? · · Score: 1

    Not to be a troll, but I use OSS and they tend to have no spyware whatsoever (probably because they are OSS). I use it so much that now I tend to distrust non OSS software, and only use them when I can't find any OSS that does the trick. 99% of my software is OSS though (and I use a LOT of software, not just OS/office suite).

  24. It's withdrawn so they don't abuse it. on A Flu Pandemic? · · Score: 1

    If people heard that there was a pandemic, would you trust them with all those bottles of Tamiflu (what a horrible name, by the way)? I bet many people would just take as much of it as they could before there even was a pandemic and render it useless.

  25. Err... on Riya Eases Pain of Digital Image Management · · Score: 1

    I don't think he's kidding.
