  1. Re:An Ethical Quandry without an easy answer on Fertility Clinic Bows To Pressure, Nixes Eye- and Hair-Color Screening · · Score: 1

    Can you prove to me a glowing dog doesn't exist... oh wait!

  2. Re:Incentive other than keeping the project alive? on Miro Asks Users To "Adopt" Lines of Source · · Score: 1

    Yes I got into using Miro about 3 years ago. I was using it extensively. Problem is if I loaded up too many channels it became slow, and buggy. This last computer I built I decided to not install it this time. I thought this project had a lot of potential, but I've given up on them with the lack of improvements in stability. Also wrote off a few of my suggestions in bug tracker.

  3. Youtube? on How To Have an Online Social Life When You're Dead · · Score: 1

    Seeing this makes me wonder if people put their suicide notes on Youtube. I'd feel bad for the family that would have to read those comments.

  4. Alternatives? on Yahoo Pulls the Plug On GeoCities · · Score: 1

    I'd like to build my neighbor a simple website that allows him to give potential customers a list of what he does, and show a few pictures. What's a good free website hosting site that would be comparable to GeoCities. I am a backend programmer so web design is not my strong suit, but I'd like to give him something to get him started... something he can update himself. I was thinking of just using Facebook, but I'm thinking he'd eliminate a lot of potential viewers.

  5. Next weight loss gimic on Are Human Beings Organisms Or Living Ecosystems? · · Score: 1

    I can see it now... Take this pill make your bacteria cultures work for you by burning fat.

  6. Re:LED is a viable option in 40 Watt replacement on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Making it lit with light of a different tonnality just stresses you.

    Right. The flipside of that is a fire. Whenever I go to a bonfire, I'm astounded at how everyone is instantly hypnotized by the dancing flames.

  7. Re:Why are they on the internet? on US Electricity Grid Reportedly Penetrated By Spies · · Score: 1

    Sounds like our Professional Services consultants.

  8. Z word? on Putting On a Show For the Google Streetview Camera · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can't find any zombies... not interested. This is Pittsburgh after all!

  9. Re:Not animals on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    not as sociable as us or culturally flexible.

    Like your average slashdot reader. Sorry you left that one wide open for a slashdot yahoo.

  10. Re:In need of perspective? on 1.4 Billion Pixel Camera To Watch For Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I'm no astronomer, but I believe you can triangulate objects based on the earth's position around the sun.

  11. Re:Yes. on Should You Get Paid While Your Computer Boots? · · Score: 1

    more than ten or twenty seconds
    You've obviously never experienced my company maintained laptop. 10-15 minutes everyday... seriously. This is not how I'd build my personal laptop.

  12. Re:Too good to be true? on In AU, Dodgy Dell Deal Faces Consumer Backlash · · Score: 1

    Forcing families to spend time together ewwww.

  13. Re:In other words - we still oversell our bandwidt on Comcast Outlines New Broadband Policy · · Score: 1

    will be placed at a lower priority for network access behind users with less bandwidth-intensive traffic

    We'll just see if I get throttled at 3 AM on Tuesday night. Somehow I find it hard to believe that they will be fair in this.

  14. Re:Space suit of the future! on NASA Awards Contract For Spacesuit of the Future · · Score: 1

    Sorry but it wouldn't be that hot knowing there is a diaper underneath.

  15. Re:"Sunshine" 2007 scifi movie about traveling to on NASA Plans Probe to the Sun · · Score: 1

    Great movie until the last 20 minutes. Still worth it though.

  16. Re:Child porn is NOT the problem on Three ISPs Agree To Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    in America where a 14 Year old boy faces jail for having sex with his 15 Year old girlfriend.
     
    Citation needed. This is treated as a state matter anyway. This has never happened in my state(PA), or the Amish would have a big problem.

  17. A first on Slashdot... on Three ISPs Agree To Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    I'm reading all the posts here and for the first time I'm seeing a total consensus that this is a bad idea.
     
    Now I can just picture showing this article to my girlfriend. She would say of course they should block it. And I would give her A B and C of why it is a bad thing and she wouldn't understand.... sighhhhh.

  18. Re:Whatever happened to VIOS? on '90s Dot-Coms — Where Are They Now? · · Score: 1

    A modern version of that would be great. You could shop around stores and try on clothes with your avatar. Customers could measure areas on their body so they could input it into the Avatar to provide an accurate body type for trying on clothes. The avatar part would be easy; the real challenge would be providing up to date 3D inventory. Maybe some specialty stores with high prices and limited inventory could be the trail blazers.

  19. It's easy... on Space Station Toilets Poop Out · · Score: 1

    Just replace the flange and wax ring. Sheesh!

  20. Re:Sunlight is better used for heating on Avalanche Effect Demonstrated In Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    Try some blinds. Also new Skylights let in only 1/3 the heat the sun would generate. As for at night... I've caught a few full moons in the right spot where I didn't need to turn on the bathroom light.

  21. M.A.S.K. on Wearable Motorcycle Design · · Score: 1

    Anyone think of M.A.S.K. when they saw this?

  22. Re:Summary. Almost There... on $100 Roku Netflix Player Targets Apple TV · · Score: 1

    My personal opinion it looks ugly! Looks like a cable box from the 80's.

  23. Re:Too much UNIX for me on FBI Wiretapping Audit Secrets Uncovered Via Ctrl+C · · Score: 1

    Never mind that Ctrl+C is used on the Windows command line for break.

  24. Re:Well... on Einstein Letter Goes on Sale · · Score: 1

    That blows my mind man!

  25. Re:A good trailer on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 1

    I was well aware of how old Harrison looked. I'm hoping he does the grumpy old, somewhat senile at times, brilliant professor. Although I did see him in a fist fight with a man half his age. Old men need to cheat in some kind of clever fashion to make it convincing.
