  1. Re:First time using extraterrestrial materials? on New Method Discovered For Making Telescopes On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Once it is found on Earth, it is not really extraterrestrial.
    If you count material that just fell on earth after its creation, then i guess half of your body matter is extraterrestrial.

  2. you also need a gun on Software Update Shuts Down Nuclear Power Plant · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the gun.

  3. lucky for them on 'Extreme Programming' Controls Phoenix Mars Lander · · Score: 1

    >And they have a lot of interplay between different instruments, so you have to make sure the sequences are not just working, but working together.

    I would have some interplay too, but Mass effect isn't out here, yet. Lucky Nasa engineers :)

  4. Hmm next GTA? on Former Supreme Court Justice Switches to Video Games · · Score: 1

    The next GTA will have authentic court scenes?

  5. really? on Bacteria Found Alive In Ice 120,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    The phrase 'the DM is a fucking retard' uttered by any of the PC's usually stops the world.

  6. Re:Python on What Makes a Programming Language Successful? · · Score: 1

    I work with all 3 of these languages. I'm not a 'python people'. I'm mostly a C(++) people :>
    Python complements C(++) very well.
    As soon as you can implement something like gemrb (a sourceforge project) in Java, i can accept that Java is about as good as python+C.

  7. Python on What Makes a Programming Language Successful? · · Score: 1

    Python is very useful with C (or C++) as a quick way of building up GUI.
    When you code the calculation heavy stuff in C but keep the rest in Python scripts the code is cleaner, flexible and easy to maintain/understand. Also you don't have to recompile it, most of the times (unless you gotta touch the core stuff).
    I wouldn't use it alone, but a C/Python hybrid is better than Java.

  8. maybe you see it useless now on Private Donor Saves Fermilab · · Score: 1

    But it is likely some of your descendants will live on Mars thanks to these missions.

    Opps, this is slashdot, so forget about the descendants.

  9. why come out? on Avalanche Effect Demonstrated In Solar Cells · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can order workers via the internets who tile your roof with Avalanche(TM) solar cells.

  10. for foreign people it is a language test on The Smartest Browser and OS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Real IQ tests should be language independent.

  11. Re:but... on Johnson & Johnson Loses Major Trademark Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is. Some religions explicitly care about altruism.
    I never heard atheism itself does more than denies the existence of a god.
    Individual atheists could be altruistic, but it isn't part of that 'faith'.

  12. oh sure... on Johnson & Johnson Loses Major Trademark Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    That's why there are church funded hospitals and orphanages?
    Not everything is wrong with religions, whatever you say.

  13. but... on Johnson & Johnson Loses Major Trademark Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    religions do have something to do with altruism.
    Almost all religions mention altruism as a positive trait, and some even do something about it.

  14. ITSATRAP! on Microsoft Office 2007 to Support ODF - But Not OOXML · · Score: 1

    No need to look for further motivations...

  15. scientology is not a cult on UK Teen Cited For Calling Scientology a "Cult" · · Score: 1

    Cults are religious splinter groups. Scientology is not religious and not a splinter group either.
    It is a simple tax evasion setup spiced with other criminal activities.

  16. Re:Brings to mind Jurassic Park on Bits of Tassie Tiger Brought Back from Extinction · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, the tiger DNA is only 70 years old. The Dino DNA is 70 million years old.

  17. don't disparage the slashdot effect on World's Newest, Most Powerful Laser Comes Online · · Score: 1, Funny

    You have been warned!

  18. Simple on Carl Icahn Takes on Yahoo's Board · · Score: 1

    Icahn isn't Yahoo. He sees the coin, and only the coin. Who cares with Yahoo?

  19. if it provides provable (and proved) predictions.. on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    it is more than logical conclusion.

  20. if there is a god... on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    intelligent space faring aliens are more likely to believe in it.

  21. hit the convert button... on Terrafugia CEO Responds To "Flying Car" Criticism · · Score: 1

    in the air, and you are on your way - LOL.

  22. Re:It still does... on Microsoft IM Blocking YouTube Links · · Score: 1

    Weird, this doesn't happen to me. (Using firefox on linux). Allowing all scripts to run.

  23. yeah, sure on The 25-Year-Old BSD Bug · · Score: 1

    I wonder how it still remained in MacOSX :>

  24. because they don't :) on Microsoft IM Blocking YouTube Links · · Score: 1

    Never seen Google or Firefox blocking an URL, but i read Google does something in China. So it is false that it doesn't make to the headlines.
    Truth is, i have never seen M$ blocking one either, but it is because i don't use M$ IM.

  25. even if Skype wins this one... on GPL vs. Skype Back In Court · · Score: 1

    If the GPL is invalid, what license they used when they took the original source?
    Fighting the only license that makes your code usage legal equals suicide.
