  1. Doctor Host on Laser Surgery Goes Online · · Score: 1

    Now not only will your web host be offering guarantees, your doctor will be too! 99.9% uptime guarantee, 2 GBIT connections across the Atlantic... All I have to say is, they better have diesel generators.

    Sure, but then your computer isn't WHITE. ohhh BEAUTIFUL WHITE. I LOVE YOU SO... *explodes*

  3. Re:In Vancouver [2010] as Well on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 1

    Yes, it seems that 'just' was the word I was looking for. The man had started the restaurant before a law was instituted against these naming practices, and was not attempting to capitalize on the Olympic sponsoring situation at all. He did not even have Olympic 'rings' on his restaurant.

  4. In Vancouver [2010] as Well on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    About a year back there was something like this going on in Vancouver, with alot of controversy. There was a man who owned a restaurant called "The Olympic" or something along those lines. The restaurant was around for 30+ years, and yet he still had to change the name of it. Although I understand the basis for these sorts of laws, sometimes it is a bit extreme. It should be restricted to some LOGICAL extent.

  5. iTypo on Henrico County iBook Sale Creates iRiot · · Score: 0

    The article should read:

    "What do you get when you combine 1000 iUsed iBooks being sold for $50 and 1000 iPeople desperately wanting to buy them? You get an iStampede of course! Add into the iMix one iGuy who watches too much iWrestling and one iGal who re-lived her first Backstreet Boys iConcert by wetting herself and you'll being looking for iVideo of the whole thing. CNN has some extra iDetails as well." From the article: "iOfficials opened the iGates at 7 a.m., but some already had been waiting for hours in iLine. When the iGates opened, it became a terrifying mob iScene. iPeople threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing each other. A little iGirl's iStroller was crushed in the iStampede. iWitnesses said an elderly iMan was thrown to the iPavement, and someone in an iCar tried to drive his way through the iCrowd."

  6. Re:Hollywood's next move on Warren Spector on Licensing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Although the site is not responding, I would still like to discuss this claim.

    Does he take into account:
    a) Inflation, and
    b)Market Growth

    Because if he does not, these may not be the highest grossing releases of all time. This misconception can also be seen in media stating that oil is 'at an all time high', while failing to realize inflation.

  7. Moron! on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: -1

    Earth is not a PvP world! They are seriously going to get their accounts deleted for this.

  8. Elevator on It isn't Easy Being Green and Getting to LEO · · Score: -1

    I have always been a strong advocate for a stairway to space, but in the wake of recent price cuts in the elevator market, this is a viable solution. The only true barrier would be streaming boring elevator music that high in the sky, as we all know that since the air gets thinner, it cannot be broadcast over standard radio waves. You may be thinking to yourself; why not use wires? Ha! Oldfashioned.

    As brilliant as this idea may seem, nature activists are consistently making their disputes heard surrounding the advantage that bird hunters would have over their prey, if they were given such a height advantage over them.

  9. Rampage on CAFTA Treaty Exports DMCA · · Score: -1

    Time for you americans to go on a rampage. I think it is well deserved. Go massacre some riaa/mpaa officials.

  11. Looks like GBA on Handheld Gaming / Media-player Gadget Runs Linux · · Score: -1

    This looks like the original GBA. This was quite a nice design- better than the SP in my opinion-, but this particular device has more square corners, which is a bit tacky.

    I do not understand the whole 'bumper' idea, and how the article thinks that it is 'clever'. Wouldn't it be more intelligent to have a bumper all the way around, and an inset LCD as to avoid scratches? I wouldn't see why the system would tend to drop on its bottom more often than the top, back, sides, or front.

    Nonetheless, this is an interesting system for such a price, and I only hope to see someone hack it to use a tiny hard drive, rather than SD cards.

  12. Obligatory on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android · · Score: -1

    But no, seriously, at least they didn't make her look like one of those anime characters *shudder*

  13. Re:Different technologies, different purpose on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: -1

    Way to write every possible comment in one post. x(

    The last one I feel is the major point. Adults responsibilities, while teens can just sit there and do their 'homework' for 8 hours after school if they want to.

    I guess Americans love the store so much that they have upgraded it from real, to great.

  17. Re:Patents and innovation on Iris Recognition To Take Off · · Score: -1

    I don't think that its a problem with the patent, but rather a problem with the company being run by a bunch of morons. If the product wasn't already exploding after having a patent for 5 (not sure) years, then the executives at the company should be slapped around a little.

    What's causing this 'fear of sex' anyways?

    You could poke somebody's eye out with that thing...

  19. NCIX.com on Shopping Online · · Score: -1

    Great site. Often rivals newegg prices. Located in BC Canada, they have a great community, weekly sales, prizes, points to get free stuff, and often free shipping on orders over $500. They basically stock anything to do with a computer, and are beginning to stock decently priced consumer electronics from other areas.

    Their business practices are a *bit* better than before this was settled, but not by much.

    NO! You have spoiled the slide show! End my life promptly!

    Actually, I hate those slide shows on forbes.com. Useless format for creating articles. It goes hand in hand with multiple paged articles, only worse. Much worse.

    Err. Wait. Sorry this is slashdot, I guess large muscley women won't have much of an effect on us, other than having large muscley mothers.

    Pretty soon, Microsoft will ask TGTSoft to develop Longhorn in the form of a rebranded StyleXP. You can quote me on that.
