  1. Re:I knew I was being scamed on Sony Warns of PS3 Scams · · Score: 1

    I think this is the first news from/about Sony that I've seen in a year that wasn't negative.

  2. Re:This is nice... on Sketch Your Furniture in the Air · · Score: 1

    Actually on the page I linked, there is only a single mouse that is usable by a left handed person (if you want SOME quality in your mouse), and its not even a top end mouse, just a basic form-fitting laser. Plus, the Righties have forced me to use a right handed mouse for so long that I have to relearn how to HOLD the mouse with my left hand. I've tried using photoshop, and while I can draw/paint really well with my left hand, Its extremely frustrating to just try to interface with that program with the stuff I have available with either my left or right hand. I know, a tablet is on my list for an upcoming purchase, but they ARE expensive.

  3. This is nice... on Sketch Your Furniture in the Air · · Score: 3, Funny

    I always want more ways to do freehand computer interfaces because I am considered disabled by the fascists who design high end interface devices.

    The Righties keepin'us down.

  4. Re:Steam & Shadowgrounds on Civilization Comes to Steam · · Score: 1

    Shadowgrounds was pretty good... until the ending. Man they REALLY messed that up so badly that I was pretty much cracking up while watching the end credits.

  5. Re:I am NOT addicted. on WoW Burning Crusade Delayed until January 2007 · · Score: 1

    I always wondered how you slit a sacrifice's throat with a mallet.

  6. Re:Geeks Rejoice! on Privacy Pitfalls in No-Swipe Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    My next pair of pants will have a Faraday cage. Or utilikilt, as that's what I'm wearing nowadays. As a side bonus it keeps the TSA guys with xray goggles from looking there too! I know I'm good looking, but if I WANTED them to see me that's what the kilt is for.

  7. Re:As an Eagle Scout on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My dad teaches for the environmental science badge. I think it's 2 hours a week on weekends, and I've seen college courses that were easier.

  8. Re:Windows 95 "Start Me Up" on A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Geekspeak Baffles Web Users on Why Sony Needs a 'Major Nelson' · · Score: 1

    This company needs an enema!

  10. Re:Wow. on Geekspeak Baffles Web Users · · Score: 1

    That product already exists

    iAnal is probably the UI for the iBrator

  11. Re:Blasters on GeV Acceleration In 3 Centimeters · · Score: 1

    The Star Wars blasters fire a special super-heated gas that they mine the materials for in places like bespin. The most noteworthy feature is that the gas doesn't disperse much when moving through the atmosphere.

  12. Re:23rd Century on Zune's Wireless Almost Totally Worthless · · Score: 1

    Yea, I have to agree with you there. Taking History of Art, that DRM is a bitch to decode, and were just left with wild guesses and interpretive dance.

  13. Re:land speed record on New Data Transmission Record — 14 Tbps · · Score: 1

    This is why we do in in Blue Ray!

  14. Re:The Wiki article on High Temperature Bose-Einstein Condensation Observed · · Score: 1

    I did check the Wikipedia article, and it just said something about how Einstien was still alive and that the effects of Bose-Einstien condensation had tripled over the last year...

    Are you sure you are reading from the correct encyclopedia? You should probably check the article on uncyclopedia to be sure....

  15. Re:What?? on The GIF Format is Finally Patent-Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't worry, they will probably dupe this article on Oct. 1, twice, to make up for it.

    Once on October 2nd. And then again in November... of 2007.

  16. Re:Demo? on DEFCON Released Today · · Score: 1

    What I really want to know is if we are getting multiplayer code for Darwinia.

  17. Re:Further Details... on Sony Announces Global Battery Recall · · Score: 1

    Its LRM. Living Rights Management.

    Of course, the first person who tries to explain to me why its a good thing gets a shotgun shell in the face...

  18. Re:Knock knock. Who's there? U.S. Military on Power Suit Promises Super-Human Strength · · Score: 1

    Really all you need is something that can withstand a 7.62 NATO round, as anything with more penetration is heavy, rare, unwieldy and definately not automatic. The suit should also be able to respond reactively to any such fire and neutralize it (Computer capabilities in the suit would be enormous with the equivalent of a cell processor 10 years advanced [360 cores eh?] and a real time operating system). RPGs could be actually shot down in single shots from the suit after picking off the guy who fires it.

  19. Re:Knock knock. Who's there? U.S. Military on Power Suit Promises Super-Human Strength · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually 30 minutes for a supported combat air drop could be pretty useful. 30 minutes of human mobility tank could be used to sieze a drop zone or helecoptor landing site. After that you lose the strength and mobility on the suit, but you still have the heavy weapons and special forces soldiers in those suites on site. Getting the suites OUT may be a problem, and the entrance is anything but subtle, but if you are going for real "shock-and-awe" type of assault a powered suit like that would be pretty good.

  20. Re:It used to be your rights end where mine begin on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Marked fragile. Its much safer and certainly more relaxing. Sure shipping costs 500, but mailmen don't point guns at you, don't do cavity searches, and don't search your laptop for porn.

  21. Re:KDE - Another reason .. on KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes" · · Score: 2, Funny

    By making it look "techy", it gets featured on Slashdot! Seriously,it has helped spread the show.

    I know, I downloaded it on Bit Torrent ad free already!

  22. Re:It used to be your rights end where mine begin on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Potentially Arab looking guy here, I've given up on planes. For the last couple months its been the train (not available everywhere), the car (I hate driving), or FedEx.

  23. Re:Limiting Factor on Sexy Intel Computer Design Worth Big Bucks · · Score: 1

    I hear black is the new beige these days.

  24. Re:What about Airplanes? on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 1

    I always thought that a space elevator would probably be somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and you wouldn't have just restricted airspace but an aircraft carrier and assorted escorts protecting the structure. There would be no airplanes flying into the elevator.

  25. Re:Junk DNA on Genetic Mapping of Mouse Brain Complete · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Junk DNA" sounds like some of the code I've seen. Nobody knows what it is, or what it does, but nothing works right without it.
