    Good post.

    It's true, all my friends are black chain smokers. :)

  3. Re:Political on The Science of Bridge Collapse Prevention · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, it didn't take long before a government contractor came up with a fool-proof way to secure government funds. Er, I mean, to prevent future incidents...

    Look at me, I'm cynical tonight. :)

    Serious question, if the universe is 'curved' in whatever way it's sometimes hypothesized, would the above be literally possible? If not, would it be possible in a less literal manner?

    Raven, is that you?

    He's being serious. EVE is big enough that I would never imagine actually meeting a person on slashdot who got a tip from me.

  7. Re:Trackball on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Long, long ago I tried a trackball at my friend's house, and decided I absolutely must have one. That was a good couple of years, til I switched back to a mouse permanently, and you better believe I never looked back. After experiencing both sides of the fence, using a mouse is far more intuitive and precise for many activities on a PC.

    Wow, pretty cool... you can do anything at zombo.com!

  9. Re:Sue em all on RIAA Backtracks After Embarrassing P2P Defendant · · Score: 1

    Luckily, US service members are allowed to own pornography and to keep it in their barracks rooms or housing, as long as it's not in plain view or plastered on their wall. Also luckily, US service members have free JAG and trial defense services. Let's see what he does with this.

    Take your woman outside and beat her because she is showing more skin than just around her eyes. Then report back your findings, please.

    The korean wiki has issues with skewed management. I just stopped posting there altogether.

    Anonymous coward, not worth it...

  14. Re:Very neat and interesting! on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Also see the Renninger negative-result experiment, in which it was postulated and proven that a particle need not be detected in order for a measurement to have occured.

  15. Very neat and interesting! on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 5, Informative

    But we've already done it: Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-testing problem

    At the bottom, it says that the equivalent experiment has already been performed, and TFA sounds like it is nearly the same experiment.

  16. Re:New Scientist on Dark Energy May Lurk In Hidden Dimensions · · Score: 1

    New Theory about the Brontosaurus (Warning, a very silly sketch by Monty Python.)

  17. Re:Even Bluetooth? on Japan to Tax All Unlicensed Wireless Devices? · · Score: 1

    He'd need a REALLY GOOD bluetooth setup - since the polar bears are on the other side of the world.

    Dude, haven't you ever seen Lost? And I suppose you also believe that smoke monsters only live in the Arctic circle, too... :)

  18. Posting at top. on Alltunes.com Lets Users Download AllofMP3 Songs · · Score: 2, Informative

    I haven't tried Visa, but I just paid by Mastercard and was able to credit my account. Don't have a Mastercard? Me either. Check for Virtual Debit Card on Paypal's website. It works like a charm and withdraws instantly directly from my Savings account. Hope this helps people, because as recently as a month ago allTunes accepted neither Visa nor Mastercard.

    You can either use the web page, or the new allTunes browser. It's a slight improvement of the allofMP3 browser, but you can't use the old one anymore. Hope this helps some people. Enjoy.

  19. Re:What would be even cooler on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot · · Score: 1

    Exactly. :)

  20. Aliens! on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot · · Score: 1

    I've sent a flash to Art Bell, I think we're being invaded by space aliens! I took video of some strange lights nearby, other people in my neighborhood saw them as well. They definitely sounded like I imagined the first attacks from extra-terrestrial beings to be!

    Note: This looked like a boring story, so I figured something could spruce it up. You can't have a robot article without a multi-dimensional conspiracy!

  21. Re:Are you sure it's not Diablo 2? on Ocarina of Time — Best Game Ever? · · Score: 1

    Surely Diablo 2 is the best gamer ever.

    Yes, but don't call me Shirley!

  22. Radio waves, good. on Newly Declassified Window Film Keeps Out Snoops · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I want to know when they will invent a window covering that blocks out visible light. I wonder if they have a classified solution. :)

  24. Re:Not all bad on Fighting Online Game Cheating in Hardware · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should consider Armed Assault, if you prefer tactics, communications, and cooperation. It's newer than BF2142, and the graphics and gameplay are polished a complete order of magnitude higher. You won't go back to BF2142 if you truly believe what you put in your previous post. :)

  25. Re:Absurd on Permit May Be Required For Public Photography in NYC · · Score: 1

    Let me give you one example. I live near the Brooklyn Bridge. Next to the bridge is Fulton Ferry Park.

    Don't you mean Fulton's Folly Park? Ahaha, that thing will never float!
