  2. Re:There is something fundamentally wrong here on FCC Demands Universities Comply With Wiretap Law · · Score: 1

    Dear cgenman, As a result of your comments on Slashdot.org, you are being investigated by the FBI under the Patriot Act. Please shut up with these "ideas" of yours, or we will be forced detain you for an indefinite length of time as an enemy combatant. Yours truly, Big Brother

  3. cell phone on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1, Insightful

    To steal a line from cell phone users:

    "All these iPods with video, picture, portable storage...All I want is an iPod that plays music well!"

    Which, of course, it already seems to do.

  4. Holy Grail Killer Rabbit! on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Even timid bunny rabbits can give a good bite if provoked enough."

    oblig monty python killer rabbit:
    "I'm warning you!"
    "What's he do? Nibble your bum?"
    "He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!"

  5. wait on Toyota Develops New Plant Species · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of the Cherry Sage shrub family, the new plant absorbs nitrogen oxide and other substances from the air better than the original Cherry Sage.

    Does this mean that the famed "intelligent designer" is really Toyota?
    I welcome our new Cherry Sage developing Japanese overlords.

  6. donnie on Toyota Develops New Plant Species · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sometimes I doubt Toyota's commitment to CherrySage.

    Not anymore! Kudos for playing God.

  7. AHH on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 3, Informative

    IT BURRRRRNS! The same Archimedes whose last words were "Do not disturb my circles!" at Syracuse. The Wikipedia article links to the same story at MIT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes Quite the inventor!

  8. translation on Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms to Anyone Under 18 · · Score: 1

    Translation: Yahoo closes chat rooms to anyone CLAIMING TO BE under 18. But then, everyone on the Internet is honest, especially the children.

  9. Come on on Internet Partitioning - Cogent vs Level 3? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why can't we all (Cogent and Level 3 included) just get along?

    Netscape still exists?

  11. Connection Speed on 30Gigs Web Mail Launches Into Beta · · Score: 1

    How long would it take to fill this inbox, even by uploading files? For me, 40KB/s. 30GB = 31457280B 218.4 hours nonstop Now maybe if I could leech someone else's connection...

  12. wouldn't it be nice on Vista Licensing Speeds Linux Move · · Score: 1

    if organizations could just buy the PRODUCT that they want...

    Either way, more of a choice in Austraila.

  13. hoo haa on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 1

    "It is especially significant as not only have Gorillas never been seen to use tools, but they have been using them in a way unlike other great apes." TFA doesn't seem to mention differences in their use of tools, just that they haven't been seen before.

  14. Alright on Intel Developing Ultra-Low Power Chips · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just keep them out of my graphing calculator.

    I have enough problems with math on my own, without the "pentium problem" giving me bad numbers.

    (yeah, yeah, times have changed, but have they REALLY changed?)

  15. theater on New System to Counter Photo and Video Devices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would guess the MPAA & Co. would love this, but would multiple units be required for a theater (line-of-sight...) or would they be useful mounted on ceilings, what with the angles?

  19. 16x16 configs on Samsung Develops 16Gb Flash Memory · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cue the "is that a 32GB pr0n flash card in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me" jokes.

  20. astro/cosmonauts on Russian Cargo Ship Docks At ISS, Preps For Tourist · · Score: 1

    Is the crew welcoming their new $20 million carrying overlords properly?

  21. competition on Can Microsoft Out-Google Google? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As much as I love Google, and as schweet as it is, I'm sure it could be even sweeter if M$ put up some real competition.

    Whether that will happen or not, however, is another question.

  25. Quote on CA Releases Patents to OSS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the quote at the bottomb of the /. page:
    Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

    Seems relevant.
