  1. Voodoo Eden. on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    Voodoopc that is. I think they did the first 40h bit laptop or something. The Eden is huge and heavy, but advertised as silent.

  2. My girlfriend gets the occasional "People" on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 1

    But also read Harry Potter too! There's more to life than video cards. Look for someone who you can love.

  3. Pales to transhumanism on Nanotechnology and Society? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Nanotechnology is interesting mainly in that it has uses in transhumanism(machine neuron interfaces and such). The singularity institute is forming ties with the foresight institute to tie transhumanism with nanotechnology.

    But it's easy to see how transhumanism is the greater of the two. When we are posthumanism, we'll be able to analyze nanotechnology much better.

  4. 1024 people... on 60th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    I caught that. Do that myself. Powers of 2 for everything!

  5. irrevocable? on Firefox Community Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    So where one encoded password could have many decoded representations?

  6. What about a downloadable gardening show? on NerdTV Coming in September · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reminds me of the earlier internet. Thousands of sights on, aghast!, computer programming. Zero on fashion, or gardening.

  7. Emotion on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1

    Remember, try to keep away from emotional knee-jerk reactions. They had plenty of those when interracial marriages was allowed or slavery was abolished.

    "Creepy" is not a rational word.

  8. But people's resumes! on Debian Struggling With Security · · Score: 1

    People need these packages in Debian to help their career! They wrote something primarily to get a job. Suddenly a bunch of resumes are outdated. Jobs, jobs, jobs!!!

  9. Ah /. cynicism on Study Finds Value in Email Spam · · Score: 1

    Libertarian, eh?

  10. Intelligent people aren't susceptible on Study Finds Value in Email Spam · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's very well known that the more intelligent you are, the less you are moved by the typical "lowest common denominator ad". Many of these types of people find slashdot (not through an ad mind you!) and post here. Not saying they are "better" in any way, but that's how it is.

  11. Watch the movie. on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 1

    Hope it's good--it has a great geek premise. Of course we geeks will root for the machines and may end up on the losing end. But still--cool!!!

  12. Lengthy reply, about my non-profit on Gates Says No to Implants · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I haven't read any replies and frankly don't need to. I have recently started a non-profit to facilitate our transition to transhumanism. I already have a few donors lined up--remember someone high enough to talk to Gates regularly believes in this stuff.

    Gates could dedicate his billions to transhumanism and be remembered on the other side as a Moses. But apparently he will not. But he is no the only person with money, and even then money is not what is needed. He essentially declared himself irrelevant to the future--no matter how much money he collects.

    Still, when he tastes the other side I have no doubt he will change his mind. And kick himself for not being the one to help with the change.

    On the other side, money will not be as important. Think about being a self-sufficient cyberthalamus (or brain-in-a-jar). You'll be on your way to other solar systems and will have little need for cash.

  13. Singularity? on Innovation Getting Slower? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, there will be one innovation that will make everything that existed before a very distant memory--the singularity and transhumanism.

  14. Disagree on SAGE 2004-2005 Salary Survey Announced · · Score: 1

    From interviewing people and getting jobs myself, it seems that most engineering or science graduates (especially math/physics grads, or those who have never worked in their lives), assume that who you know is much more important than what you know. The misconception from the "ivory tower" is that socializing is far more important than intelligence or solving problems. In the real world, it's maybe about even with perhaps a bit more importance assigned to socializing.

  15. PPU is the answer. on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Physics processors came too late for this generation of consoles. This will really put PCs over the top. This should be coming out by the end of the year.

  16. We're atheist too. on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just figure out a way for Christians to fight new-agers and we'll be happy.

  17. Great news! on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 1

    Can't wait until the singularity/transhumanism so we can get beyond these silly border struggles.

    I didn't care which one they chose--just want the dang science to start!

  18. Buy something fun. on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Just not a /. subscription!

  19. $12 paypal to first reply to this post. on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm serious. You have to include your email but go ahead and make a throwaway.

  20. Tried it and left immediately. on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 1

    They had a blinking ad there. Wow. Irony.

  21. A good regex should. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    Sure it's out there. Just look.

  22. Nah, GPUs won't be around. on GeForce 7800 GTX Review · · Score: 1

    It'll all be nanoconfigurable bitgranular CPUs. Of course.

  23. What you know is as important. on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 1

    Often graduates coming fresh out of the ivory tower, especially those with little commerical software experience, assume that who you know is all that matters when it comes to getting and keeping a job. What you know is often just as important.

  24. You want me to futher your career? on Firefox Extension for Applied Social Networking · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So you want me to take my time to try out something that has been done many times (just look at the comments) so you can further your career? Perhaps you should offer micropayments to those who you would like to utilize in your quest for more money.

  25. Hope they include a nice micropayment system. on Google Wallet May Compete With Paypal · · Score: 2, Funny

    So people can donate to the projects they rejected for the summer of code.
