  1. $30M? on Leaning Tower of Pisa Secure For 300 More Years · · Score: 0

    For $30 Million do you not think they could save it longer by straightening it?

  2. Real Reason on Why BitTorrent Causes Latency and How To Fix It · · Score: 0

    We all know that completely using your bandwidth will make your connection slow. If it's still slow after limiting bittorrent bandwidth then there's another reason. Most clients utilize many more connections than the operating system supports. People think "Ohh more connections means I can download faster." Just lower your number of connections for your client and this problem will fix itself.

  3. The Same? on Windows 7 Won't Have Compact "MinWin" Kernel · · Score: 1, Funny

    We're very clear that drivers and software that work on Windows Vista are going to work really well on Windows 7; in fact, they'll work the same. Ohh Shit...
  4. My experience. on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 0

    I text almost consistently throughout the day sending a total of about 10000 SMS/MMS a month. The plan I have through AT&T allows for unlimited text for our entire family of 6 lines. So that means we pay $5.00/person. That makes my cost per text about $0.0005 a message per person. I get all of my email sent to my phone as a MMS as well and some of those can be around 100KB as well.

    So in my case, I believe it's rather handy and cost effective means of data transfer since data packages are so damn expensive.

  5. Better Pic on Melting Microchip Defects May Extend Moore's Law · · Score: 0

    Here's a link to the non-thumbnail version of before and after. I couldn't see anything on my 17" 1920x1200. http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pictures/a-f/chou/Chou_micrographs.jpg

  6. Idiots on First Psystar Mac Clones Ship · · Score: 1, Informative

    The people commenting on the linked paged are idiots. This is not a typical "Hackintosh." They claim to have EFI emulated so that there is no need to hack your copy of OSX. You are able to install right from the Leopard CD. This isn't using OSx86.

  7. Re:Why pay for the software? on 11-Year-Old Becomes Network Admin for Alabama School · · Score: 0

    I found out that you can install AVG on a Server OS by by extracting the installer exe, finding the msi, and running a 'repair' on it. This will install it on a Server OS without any problems. In my case, I am not a business and only have the server for personal use therefore complying with Grisoft's ToS.

  8. Screenshots? on Microsoft Trying To Appeal to the Unix Crowd? · · Score: 0

    Are there any screenshots of this GUI-less version?

  9. Odd. on Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12 · · Score: 0

    Right as i opened this story, firefox asked me if I would like to complete this update's installation by restarting firefox. I'm not restarting until they fix it.

  10. Man... on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 0

    ... just think how long a do-over is going to take if they're running Vista instead of XP on the dev machines now.

  11. 3D Now! on Intel's 3D Transistors One Step Closer to Reality · · Score: 0

    Didn't AMD already do this? They must have been REALLY far ahead of their time.

  12. Re:And now it's time... fooor.... completely OT po on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you click them really fast the triangles get mixed up.

  13. Re:New layout? on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 0

    It might look worse if it was all black on a CRT/"TrueLife" LCD. (Look in the mirror.)

  14. Am i confused? on First Mobile Phone Virus Nears 2nd Birthday · · Score: 0

    Are we supposed to celebrate a virus's bithday? should we invite it to a party in our phones? It might want presents some of us can't afford.

  15. NetBSD? on NetBSD's Real-Time Network Backup · · Score: 0

    This seems like they are really putting emphasis on this feature. Could it mean they might need it if NetBSD dies?

  16. Re:Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD is stupid on In Sony's Stumble, the Ghost of Betamax · · Score: 0

    Let me go back this story up on my Jazz Drive. Or, would you like it to be on Zip disks?

  17. Internet Archive? on Microsoft Vista Info Leaked · · Score: 0

    I wonder if this is on the internet archive... If it is we need to watch out to make sure Micro$oft doesn't change history.

  18. Being born on a leap year might sound bad... on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 0

    Just imagine being born on a leap second.

  19. A Bug on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 0

    The last column of ads don't get the special mouseover text. You have to wait for your browser to display it. I think those people deserve a refund on their ads.

  20. AJAX? on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 0

    Perhaps the Slashdotting of this site might be a good reason for the administrator to create an AJAX interface. That way the server would not have to process so many pages and focus on queries.

  21. Paranoid on Sony Pulls Controversial Anti-Piracy Software · · Score: 0

    I've gotten so paranoid that I put a text document with $sys$ on the front on my desktop.

  22. Obligatory... on Scientists Complete Map of Human Genetic Variation · · Score: 4, Funny

    99.9% of your genes are belong to everyone!

  23. Re:you probably ment... on Scientists Complete Map of Human Genetic Variation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Haha! I have you now!

    That segment of genes are infringing on my patent! Remove that part now or pay royalties for every cell in your body!

  24. Bad habit. on M.I.T. Explains Why Bad Habits Are Hard to Break · · Score: 1, Funny

    I have a bad habit of missing the first post.

  25. No problem... on Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If you type in 'Madonna' - a Warner act - at the Google Video site, and the results are accompanied by ads, Warner wants a share of those ad dollars."

    What's the big fuss over something like this? The income from searches for 'Madonna' would be trace.
