    If we can only make these toads taste/look more like human babies...

    "P.S. I always seem to think of the numbers 67% and 83%. Maybe they aren't all made up on the spot."

    Or, perhaps, you used the improper gauge tinfoil in your hat? :-)

  3. Statistics, shmaplistics on Internet Suicide Pacts Surge in Japan · · Score: 1
    "In addition, readers need to do their homework before posting factual errors or made-up numbers regarding its prevalence. More than 40% of the ..."

    Is it true that 98.2% of all statistics quoted on Slashdot are made up on the spot?

  4. Re:Actually, ... on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    Crap, I'm from 1966. That's it. Just pissed off I'm getting old. :-(

  5. Re:Hype, nothing else on Halo 2 Only on Vista · · Score: 1
    Microsoft will learn very quickly ...

    Are we talking about the Microsoft over in Redmond?

  6. Re:radiation eating its way free? on Robot Saves the Day at Radiation Lab · · Score: 1
    snStarter scribbled:
    So not only is it a DUP the right-up is by someone whose entire education about radiation appears to have come from watching 1950s science fiction movies.

    Please, do tell us more about other people's educational shortcomings...

  7. Re:All Your Resource Base Are Belong to Us on China to Land on Moon Around 2017 · · Score: 1
    "It takes MASSIVE amounts of raw material to harvest Helium-3"

    So, basically, you're saying that even Chinese fuel will leave you feeling hungry after an hour or two?

  9. This is insane on Holding Developers Liable For Bugs · · Score: 1

    Okay, and you thought it was hard to get a delivery date out of a developer now?!!

  10. What? No RAID1 externals? on Portable Storage Guide · · Score: 1

    I was a bit disappointed that they didn't cover any of the new USB/Firewire dual drive RAID0/1 devices. I'd love to have a RAID1 backup device I could unplug and move between offices. Anyone have any info on how to roll your own?

  11. Carte Blanc? on Eminent Domain Applied to IP Due To State Secrets · · Score: 1

    If this is a tenable position, then what's to stop any govt. contractor from violating any existing patents they see fit? Also, should these same contractors be allowed to apply and/or obtain patents for work being performed for the government? Seems like it should be one way or the other...

  12. Re:If Microsoft did it, it would be Microsoft. on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    I'm certainly no Microsoft apologist, but let me get this straight. - Microsoft releases a bug/infection/security hole through their normal channels of distribution (www.microsoft.com) and they're evil. - A Mozilla release, obtained via the normal distribution channels (a Korean mirror in this case) is infected, and not only is it not Mozilla's fault for distributing their browser through insecure channels, but it's also probably part of Microsoft's conspiracy against Mozilla? Okay, sounds reasonable.

  13. Ignore the evil search engine behind the curtain.. on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Consider the source. Yahoo gets a bunch of bad press for snitching on poor Chinese users, infesting users computer with spyware and a bunch of other evil-Yahoo stuff. SO what do they do? "Don't worry about us, look at these stars being eaten by a black hole!! OMG, we're all going to die!!!"

  14. Re:I like the nano but... on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    Bluetooth iPod that would dynamically interact with your cell phone / car stereo / headphones / stereo receiver / external speakers... And yes, I know BT doesn't support that type of bandwidth, but it would be nice...

  15. Re:Good luck... on Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5 · · Score: 1
    jbrader pecked - "I have a pysics teacher (also in WA) that drives as fast as he wants. Then when he goes to court for the speeding tickets he dazzles the judge with science and calculus until the ticket gets dropped."

    Perhaps you should have paid less attention to your 'pysics' teacher and more to your spelling teacher. :-)

  16. Re:Dvorak prophecy? on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1
    Z0mb1eman pecked - "Calling it the Dvorak prophecy seems way too pretentious."

    Dvorak, pretentious = redundant
