  1. But how can you quit? on The Grown-Up Video Game · · Score: 1

    You just announced them.

  2. Sorry about threadjack but... on Directed Energy Weapon Downs Mosquitos · · Score: 1

    His name is Nathan Myhrvold... come on Slashdot... you used to be cool (in an ironic sort of way)

    TED Profile.
    Nathan Myhrvold on archeology, animal photography, BBQ ...(Not anything on the research in question)

  3. Sadly no. on Futuristic Sex Robots Now Just "Sex Robots" · · Score: 0

    I think you're wrong in this area considering the forced sex trade has nothing to do with sex and is more about domination.

  4. Re:Somebody had to add it on UK Judge Orders Wikipedia To Reveal User's Identity · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought that this was way funnier without your disclaimer.

  5. Re:I hear... on Moon-Excavation Robots Face Off · · Score: 1

    Also, if there is such a problem with dust particles sticking to things wouldn't it be slightly easier on the moon to charge a belt at one end and degauss on the other?

  6. Not really... on Alan Turing Gets an Apology From Prime Minister Brown · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Humility is an honourable trait.

  7. Re:Hm... on IBM Images a Single Molecule · · Score: 1

    My guess is that the bonds are stronger ( ie react less to the outside forces ) and therefore don't show up as brighter.

  8. Re:And what's so bad about it? on Wikipedia To Require Editing Approval · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This only works when the people who are in control don't have a bias on the subject.

    Using your example, somehow a scientologist gets editor rank and start disallowing any edits against it.

  9. Re:Why isn't he turning over the passwords? on 3 of 4 Charges Against Terry Childs Dropped · · Score: 1

    He's innocent. Handing over the passwords at this point would be like saying they were right.

  10. Re:Witch hunt on 3 of 4 Charges Against Terry Childs Dropped · · Score: 1

    Totally agree, someone tag this story "hero".

    This guy should never have had to go to jail over this garbage. They could still have had court cases in a civil fashion.

  11. Re:Colours on BrainPort Lets the Blind "See" With Their Tongues · · Score: 1

    No taste, just pressure from pins.

  12. Re:Overkill? on The Homemade Hard Disk Destroyer · · Score: 1

    If many worlds is true then would there not be a universe or subset that has to exist without the universe destroying device as just applying one would be the act of a choice and therefore cause a split?

  13. Probably... on Wikipedia Debates Rorschach Censorship · · Score: 1

    Probably because the people who want to censor them thought they all looked under aged.

    Ohhh.

  14. Re:It's just evolutionary. on On Realism and Virtual Murder · · Score: 1

    Unless it's something like a pacemaker running the guys heart. Nothing is black and white yo.

  15. Re:Where does this "electricity" come from? on Tesla Nabs $465M Government Loan To Build Model S · · Score: 1

    This infrastructure allows us to change where the energy comes from without directly messing with the end consumer. Right now it could be coal and gas but later could be nuclear, wind, solar and it wouldn't cause any issues whatsoever with the people already on the system.

  16. Re:'bots? on 400 Battle Bots Fight, Toss Enemies At RoboGames Competition · · Score: 1

    You should support this anyways as it's the newer field of using robots for entertainment value. This is literally giving us hobbyists a way to increase civilian sponsorship of robotics technology advancement as opposed to just the military path we're used to.

  17. Re:Flipbots are weak on 400 Battle Bots Fight, Toss Enemies At RoboGames Competition · · Score: 1

    Completely agree with this in every way except a few issues. These competitions usually have weight restrictions and creating such a bot to combat the flipper genre is mighty hard to do without adding more weight or taking the place of more armor. Also, the complexity of the mechanism and the difficulty of pulling it all off during the competition makes me think that there should be some allowances given to bots that aren't of the flipper variety.

    I would think that the competition should give advanced notice that they would be giving more leeway to experimental robots so that the competition actually has some differences over the years and not be dominated by single types.

  18. Re:Well . . . on In Round 2, Jammie Thomas Jury Awards RIAA $1,920,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also sexy, but everything's sexy to me.
    --
    I have the heart of a child. I keep it in a jar

    Your post and sig make a very scary duo.

  19. Or you know, was the plan all along on Microsoft Kills 3-App Limit For Windows 7 Starter Edition · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This seems more like they were marketing it as going to be limited and people were turned off by that but it kept the product in the public eye. Waited for a bit. Now they're marketing it as without the limit as to improve the perception of the product, leading to more people wanting it.

  20. Re:So... What happens when they outsource to China on Mr. Bezos Goes To Washington · · Score: 1

    Don't you think china would rather know how their loaned money is being spent?

  21. Re:I love NASA TV on Astronauts Begin Final Spacewalk To Repair Hubble · · Score: 1

    Thanks.

  22. Re:A similar experience... on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    He can't take you away as he is not an officer of the law.

  23. Re:I am incredulous on Can Avatars Make Contracts? · · Score: 1

    there's no goal or objective.

    According to the story itself, it looks like there is one now.

  24. Re:putting vital systems on the Internet on Should the US Go Offensive In Cyberwarfare? · · Score: 1

    Or angrier, more worn out, hospital staff.

    It's a shitty job to deal with other angry people who are also sick and usually in a hurry. Don't take away what little means they use to keep sane.

  25. Re:What's next? on US Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably Kung-flu.

    Thanks, I'll be here all week, DON'T try the pork!
