  1. Re:A true test is to compare it to random music. on Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control · · Score: 2, Interesting
    That's a sign of a true geek - a desire to replace real life with random number generator.

    Actually, to me the most amazing thing was to see somebody who knows which end of a soldering iron to hold, can program in C, and understands Markov chains to the point of "daisy chaining" hamsters to it :-)

  2. popup shooter on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Well, he just stated that the self-expression of most of the bloggers correctly reflects their intellectual development level

  3. Re:Use Bluetooth on NTT's Cool - Human Area Networking Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful
    It may be more secure than bluetooth - you need a physical contact. So for something like a digital keychain it would be quite convenient. It could be more practical than fingerprints (less errors) and let you authenticate just by touching the sensor.

    On the other side, I will need another firewall for this!!!

  4. popup shooter on Wearable PC with an Artificial-Reality Helmet · · Score: 1

    Where else can you shoot popups with M16?

  5. Re:Tool use? on Robotic Arm Controlled By Monkey Thoughts · · Score: 1
    Monkeys have been trained to operate tools and devices before this, both in and out of laboratory settings.

    Yeah, I've seen them operating things from coffee makers to W2K Servers in the office settings.

  6. Cats slashdotted on Linux-Based Cat Feeder · · Score: 1
    Too late...

    From the cat feeder home page:
    "Cotton and Tulip have been fed 4725 times"

    poor creatures...

  7. Wrong device on Linux-Based Cat Feeder · · Score: 3, Funny

    You got it all wrong. The proper way would be

    cat < /dev/mouse

  8. Re:A few things on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 1

    It's a rolling ball - a natural platform for a rotating barrel machine gun

  9. Re:Well.. politics on Los Alamos Missing Disks Never Existed · · Score: 1

    "If you managed to loose the disks that never existed, we can only imagine what would you do with ones that you really have!"

  10. Re:Is this low carb? on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 1

    Now all the ink & toner manufacturers will have to state the calories count on the cartridge. And you'd better use laser if you are printing steaks!

  11. Re:This is a good thing! Not!! on Making CAPTCHAs Even Harder With 3-D Models · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just throw in a complete IQ test - then not only we will tell a human from a machine, but also a human that should use e-mail from one that probably should not.

  12. Re:What a load of pseudo-scientific bullshit on Nanotech Brings Battery Life Extender for Mobiles · · Score: 1

    They should have added "100% organic stone".

    And I think I know a couple of institutions whose tenants would gladly do the testing.

  13. Re:Binary... XML... Nah! on W3C launches Binary XML Packaging · · Score: 1
    The benefit of XML over SQL is that XML is a format while SQL is a language. It's like comparing a verb to a noun.

    Things like SOAP do not make it seem like a protocol, they just use the format.

    Adding binary objects to XML specs is going to be quite useful. And the point is not that you could not do that before. The point is to make it a standard.
