  1. No, just build the tunnel on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 2, Funny

    They will simply fly everything to one end of the tunnel, load it up on rail cars and go through the tunnel on rail. Then, at the other side, load it back up on the air transport for the rest of the trip.

  2. Remember Remember the 4th of Novemeber! on Daylight Saving Change Saved No Power · · Score: 1

    How about one data point at least before we throw our hands into the air? I mean we're not even through the first execution of the new DST yet! Did you forget about Novemeber? I'd be more inclined to bitch and moan after some more data...

  3. Re:Dutch Ovens on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I always referred to that practice as "Indian Oven".

  4. iNewton on Newton's Ghost Haunts Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    Its clear that the article forgot about the little thing called brand awareness. If the Newton was really the "iNewton" and it brought all of Apple's other services together in a nice neat package (and was sexy like the iPhone), then maybe it wouldn't be sitting here covered in dust on display in the PDA graveyard.

  5. How about a nice game of chess? on Bush Administration to Support Nuclear Recycling · · Score: 1

    Power it up! I don't have the special handset cup modem anymore though, so not sure how I can play Global Thermonuclear War.

  6. Re:Wait... on Bush Administration to Support Nuclear Recycling · · Score: 1

    We were the first, and we intend on making sure we are the last.

  7. Canada on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 1
    I hear Canada is better. Anyone wish to confirm?

    Canada and Iceland are my fallback countries.

  8. Linen Bandages on The Ahn'Qiraj Tailgate · · Score: 2, Funny

    What are they to do with all those linen bandages (800,000 of them!)? They are basically useless for upper level characters.

  9. Success! on Hollywood Buddies up with Bram Cohen · · Score: 1

    Congrats Bram, you were successful at confusing the MPAA into thinking this was a solution!

    This is proof that deep down he's still one of us.

  10. He had a search engine? on Hollywood Buddies up with Bram Cohen · · Score: 1

    Honestly, where was his search engine?

    You can Google torrents more and more now, so any other search engine is rapidly losing significance.

    How does this deal affect personal torrent sites? I doesn't. That's where most of the "good stuff" is anyways.

  11. Re:Proprietary connectors on Data Centers And DC Power · · Score: 1

    Your assuming I'm talking about old tech. The latest tech working its way into the telco CO and communications closets is running on server platforms. These platforms want to take advantage of the Telco redundant power but there is no standardization on the cabling. You're not going to strip some power cable and wirenut that in there. It will break and it will need to be unplugged.

    You've obviously never seen a datacenter.

  12. Whats the point of the batteries? on Data Centers And DC Power · · Score: 1

    Why do you need the batteries? Many new solar panel controllers have built in grid-tie capability. When your panels make more juice than you use you get a credit because you put power INTO the grid. Very cool, only problem is the panels cost too much.

    If you want that to work, we need to get a major advance in solar panel tech. The grid-tie stuff is here already.

  13. Twice the cables! on Data Centers And DC Power · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that DC cables must be much heavier gauge than AC. The savings in copper alone will pay for those little cheap AC/DC transformers.

    Also, who wants to run two cables to every socket block?

  14. Proprietary connectors on Data Centers And DC Power · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no standard Telco DC connector. This can cause headaches since you need special connectors and a AC-DC box for every type of DC appliance you have. Most every AC appliance uses one of a few types of industry standard AC connectors.

  15. Good commercials in EU on Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo · · Score: 0

    That's because in Europe they have naked people in their commercials. Who would want to Tivo through that!?

  16. Pass light through negative mass on IBM Slows the Speed of Light · · Score: 0

    If light slows down when you pass it through a mass, what happens when you pass it through some negative mass? Should speed up if you ask me!

  17. Best deal... on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 0

    Page 29: Vader's Prosthetic Head Scars $3,000-$5,000

  18. They should just combine forces on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 0

    to make Yoogle

  19. Still can't buy that revolver I wanted on Massachusetts Drops Hammer on Spam Gang · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    At least the AG is finally doing what he is supposed to do: protecting us from fraud and killer toys... rather than producing useless gun laws under the assumption that they are "protecting our children".

    Smart parents protect our children.

  20. Re:Just a proposal, hopefully... on Dutch Pass iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    Guilty until proven innocent.

  21. Wonka-vision on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 1

    I don't care how, I want it NOOOOOoooooowwww

  22. Regardless of position... on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 1
    With the case cover on you can see anything inside anyway.

    Might be slightly entertaining to have it say "Warranty VOID" so when people break the seal on the case they know right away ;-)

  23. Have non-streaming version on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    I have the non-streaming version but I have no where to host it (I'm at work). Where do people normally toss things up for slashdot mirroring? It is about 180MB for the whole thing. I couldn't bare to sit through the streaming (if you call that streaming) from that overloaded server. I kept missing the good part!
