  1. One of the Best CD Replicators Out There on Best Method for Automated CD Ripping? · · Score: 1

    My boss asked me one day what options were available for automatic CD replication, which ran through completing however many CD copies as requested, with as little human intervention as possible. After we got direction from higher, we were able to have this CD replication system installed, albeit slightly modified. It works so well, that it's definitely one of the coolest purchases we've made.

  2. Re:Hesitation on Real Warriors Trained In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    You are actually only to fire between two and four of these per day, or else risk ripping the pericardium that surrounds your heart.

    And, actually, that wouldn't be a great end to a happy Valentine's Day...

  3. Re:They apparently forgot ..... on Government Cyber Storm Ends · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that all known intelligence compromises have been committed by their own employees, i.e. people who have access to that information?! Thanks for spelling that one out for me.

  4. Re:name recognition on Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're stupid. Straight from the article:

    More immediately, Felber's new solution can be used to test Einstein's theory of gravity at low cost in a storage-ring laboratory facility by detecting antigravity in the unexplored regime of near-speed-of-light velocities.

    I take it you're not very familiar with Dr. Franklin Felber's extensive background and work.

  5. Re:I would sue the Scouts too on Red Cross Condemns Misuse of Emblem In Games · · Score: 1

    You know what, I think you're right. After all, a few perfectly upstanding priests never had an issue with taking advantage of younger same-sex children. Thank God nothing like that ever happened.

  6. Special effects... on Advent Children in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the animation and visual quality of the renderings. If you have at least an amateur's eye for video of this nature, you will notice many places here and there where just a little bit of touching up would have appeased the pickiest of us all.

  7. Re:Locations of All US Spy Satellites and Names on Tracking Satellites That Aren't There · · Score: 1

    The original poster is right to express concern about posting this information online and in a public place. When "The Hunt For the Red October" was released, its author was interrogated by the CIA to figure out how he ascertained the real-life technical information for his books, a part of which was classified. He gathered all of the information from scattered "open source" (non-classified) locations, whose contained information were all unclassified when kept separate. However, when compiled together, it became information that was, at that time, classified.

  8. Re:And if you speak the words... on Sony Unveils PSP Translator · · Score: 1

    "omoshiroi" and "subarashii" are nowhere near the same meaning as "sugoi", unfortunately. It actually is one of those things about japanese that has to do with not having an over-abundance of words that mean the same thing. It is absolutely acceptable to say "sugoi" repeatedly like the character does in that episode of NGE. The parent of this post was mistaken. :(

  9. Re:Anyone watch 24? on IPv6 Readiness Report · · Score: 1, Funny

    Trying the old "i 'accidentally' made a mistake in my original post let me fix it and get double the karma" trick, eh? Yeah, we're on to you. :)

  10. Please mod parent up! on Wikipedia Entries 'Cleaned' By Political Staffers · · Score: 1

    There was actually a news article on Slashdot a couple weeks back about this! A paper was released by John Hopkins University that reported the very same thing you are bringing up.

    I believe this is my government's goal, and I trust my government that this is their plan. It's unfortunate, however, that governments simply cannot be trusted ever, certainly not when they try to suck up personal liberties. The people still have FAR more control over the US than the government has, even in light of recent events, much to the contrary of what is commonly believed and regurgitated by so many people.

    This certainly isn't meant to be a troll.

  12. Re:Bayesian filter to predict Slashdot's new stori on Bayesian Filters Predict Sundance · · Score: 2, Informative

    Where do you see the word "related" or any of its equivalents? As far as I can tell, every story's position is based on the time it is posted to the front page.

  14. Re:BitComet anyone? on BitTorrent Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    They fixed the private tracker issue long ago, before the Slashdot story about it was even posted.

  15. Re:Being over pendantic on NSA Wiretapping Whistleblower · · Score: 1

    But being realistic the first question would be "To which country do you claim to be a soldier fighting in a fashion that is compliant with the requirements of the Geneva Conventions?"

    You're exactly right, but that's if they were given an Article V tribunal. That would take an unreasonable amount time for all of the thousands of captured enemy prisoners of war, but according to the Geneva Conventions they are entitled to it. I'm not disagreeing with you in any way, I'm just pointing out that there seems to be no legal support for not giving an Article V tribunal to every captured prisoner that they want to remove EPW status from.

  16. Re:Whats the BFD people? on NSA Wiretapping Whistleblower · · Score: 1

    While the un-uniformed insurgents that fight in Iraq and Afghanistan certainly shouldn't be given EPW status in my opinion, aren't all captured EPWs entitled to an Article V tribunal to determine their status? I understand that the times are now very different than they were when the Geneva Convention was signed, but is there any legal basis by which captured enemies can be directly stripped of EPW status?

    NOT work safe, and disgusting. It's hentai, with terrible body mutilation in graphic, well-drawn detail.

  18. Re:$25-$75 billion on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? In the US, military retirees still get the same check every month that they were guaranteed when they retired from service. And I guess you didn't hear that they recently upped the max life insurance payout for soldiers from $250,000 all the way up to $500,000. Seems like you know little about what you are talking about.

  19. Re:SIPRNet on Is the Cyberterror Threat Credible? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've got no idea what you're trying to argue in your last few sentences, but I can assure you that the classification system is not, itself, classified. The meaning of NOFORN (a 'caveat' telling you not to release this information to foreign nations) and any other of the numerous caveats are not classified.

    Okay, so it's actually not a dupe, but I got to hear Slashdot users all sigh at once. :)

    Funny that you bring up United States Patent 5,960,411, as a quick search shows that it basically patents using cookies for an online purchase. Talk about novel.

  25. Re:Too bad those are not the most spoken languages on Hands on With the PSP Talkman Translator · · Score: 1

    Korean is listed as one of the world's top four spoken languages, but this is very false. With only 70 million native speakers, do you really think that there are enough people who have studied Korean to push it up to the top four? I don't think so, myself.
