  1. Well it seems to me... on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 1, Informative

    ...that it is not too hard to understand the current Wikipedia articles. But I'm sort of science minded.

    However, we could do with putting it into simple terms, for those not science-minded. Then, we could have a section in Wikipedia of each article making sense to science minds.

  2. Idea, on State Bans Texting While Driving · · Score: 0

    What if you could integrate a speech-to-text (a decent one) into a cell phone---using a speakerphone. Better yet, why don't we just program cars to drive themselves.

  3. Re:Holy SHIT that sucks. on Two US States Restrict Used CD Sales · · Score: 0

    the Canadian government is charging a levy on blank CDs. so buy an iPod. (ok... those are really expensive)

    wait... what would happen if they made cd's that could only be used for data... no need for the tax.
  4. I don't know which one would be more fun... on Ashes of Doohan Sent Into Space · · Score: 0

    to have my ashes snorted, or to have them sent into space.

  5. Re:Lead? on Paint Provides Network Protection · · Score: 0

    you're right! use uranium instead!

  6. Re:Avoid the tax on Washington State Encourages Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 0

    if you think about it, the $10 will come back to you. UPS gets $10 and keeps it as profit, etc. The gov't will use the $10 to a) Fund the War of Terror or b) Pave interstates or something like that.

  7. Re:small addition on Surprise, Windows Listed as Most Secure OS · · Score: 0

    Those of us who think there is room in the world for both Windows, OSX and Linux...

    Think about it this way-- let's say (hypothetically, of course) Linux becomes the main OS, and OSX and Windows are pushed to the sidelines as much as Linux and OSX are today.

    Where do you think the all the viruses, etc would be targeted? Linux.

    [of course, since osx is unix based, the viruses might also work on macs too.. i don't know enough about that though]

  8. think before you act! on Law Student Web Forum: Free Speech Gone too Far? · · Score: 0

    people need to watch what they do. some websites (including /.'s comment system) will not let you delete what you put. people have the right to free speech. they should not have it taken away. however, people need to realize that their words may come back to haunt them in the future. so they shouldn't comment anything that they might regret later. or they could just post anonymously (when possible). most employers hire companies which probably look up myspace, google, etc to find as much dirt on you as possible.

    "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."
    - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

  9. Re:magic on Windows Genuine Advantage Gets More Lenient · · Score: 1

    that will come soon enough with quantum computers, which can have 0 (no) and 1 (yes) at the same time. are you sure you want to shut down you computer? *yes *no *maybe *ask microsoft(r) *What's This?

  10. just come here on Canadian Copyright Group Wants iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    seeing as how most of the people in canada live near the u.s. border (or, at least that's what history teachers say), they can just go to the u.s., buy an ipod, and come back. i live in SC, where for the longest time, tattoos were illegal. there were a thousand tattoo parlors just across the border. (also, we're one of the few states that allows fireworks.. same thing)

  11. hmm. on Measure Anything with a Camera and Software · · Score: 1

    anybody ever seen the italian job?

  12. hmm. on Court Rules GPS Tracking Legal For Law Officers · · Score: 1

    well, at least i don't have to worry about someone stealing my GPS anymore!

  13. oh no! a meteorite! organic matter! on Organic Matter Found In Canadian Meteorite · · Score: 1

    don't panic!

  14. hmm.. on The End of the iPod Clickwheel · · Score: 1

    i have a video ipod, and i love it, but i always thought that it would be really cool if you could put the 2g (4 buttons and a wheel) interface with video. i miss that.
