  1. Sorry guys... on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    ...but i'm from canada and was too busy looking at pr0n to post here sooner. Damned internet causing me not to get first post.

  2. It's perfect! on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 1

    How will the rest of the world recognize us if our tinfoils hats are transparent?

    That's just it! They won't recognize us! We'll finally be able to stop worrying about them reading our thoughts and knowing we're not with them! At last! We can now peak into the minds of our enemies... Oh no! How will we know who is one of us or not?!

  3. Man... on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you're just going to talk, pass that over here.

  4. Obviously... on Pillows Dangerous for Your Health · · Score: 1

    ...the evil spore creatures are plotting our demise in a much more devastating fashion. All we can do is wait.

  5. Plastic covers... on Pillows Dangerous for Your Health · · Score: 1

    Plastic covers aren't exactly the most comfortable thing to sleep on. There is a reason that our pillow are soft and morphable. Is this going to turn into a safe vs comfort debate in the future?

  6. Okay. on iPod Video Coming to a Car Near You · · Score: 1

    What's stopping you from converting the videos yourself?

  7. True... on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 1

    it's also a microsoft owned web application though... so i'm trying to figure out if they even care about mac support still. :

  8. Yeah... on 180 Solutions Cuts Back on Spyware Installs · · Score: 1

    I believe AIM also installs wildtagent too... or did. I haven't updated my AIM for almost a year now though.

  9. A thought... on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 1

    I noticed that they have the right cick menu as well. What effect would this have on some school computers ( know mine likes to cripple the box so you can't right click, etc ) Are there any workarounds to counter things like this? Or at least being planned to counter?

  10. Yeah... on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's exactly what scissors were made for... :)

  11. Internet Instincts on Bugzilla Delivered to the Desktop · · Score: 3, Funny

    That would increase my productivity 10-fold.

    I take it you're at work right now?

  12. Ummm... on Bugzilla Delivered to the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Don't they track bugs for mozilla firefox too? What's the difference between a web interface through a browser they're tracking that had bugs and a desktop program...that has bugs?

  13. Site problems... on Call of Cthulhu Available on DVD · · Score: 1

    I don't think the javascript is compatible with Firefox or IE... this actually frightened me since i tried both.

  14. An idea... on Intelligent Coasters Keep Beer Mugs Full · · Score: 1

    Could make a glass and stool duo. Stool checks the sitters weight and calculates the safe alcohol limit for that persons weight. Glass refills until limit is reached. Maybe i'm thinking too much about this. Bartender!

  15. On to harder stuff... on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 1

    like spearheading the RIAA?

  16. No wayyy. on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 1

    I don't remember seeing spiderman reading slashdot in the movie at all.

  17. What IF we started linking to KKK sites... on NSF Reports No Geek Shortage · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, there would obviously be a large shortage of racist sites. Ah the power of the slashdot effect.

  18. You'd think... on Korea To Build Front-line Combat Robot · · Score: 1

    that with something that anime has taken the reigns of for so much time... that they could at least come up with something that looks relatively nice. The inspiration is there. To me, this looks like a centipede Aibo with a gun attached to a random position.

  19. A bit complicated... on Acetylene Based Life on Titan? · · Score: 1

    They can try to reproduce, but it won't get anywhere...

    Only sterile animals that produce are humans (if the person is indeed sterile)... but that's done through the science we use. It's unfair to say that sterile beings aren't beings because they can't reproduce. It's just that they try... and fail.

  20. Is it just me... on Alternative MMOG Updates · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or does Irth Online look like an upgraded, standalone, version of runescape? Not a flame... just making observations. If it does indeed have the same gameplay value of runescape... I can see this becoming a very popular game. That is, of course, if they expand more on the graphics side of the game. They look very bland at the moment.

  21. Re:state sanctioned theft.. on Eminent Domain Applied to IP Due To State Secrets · · Score: 3, Informative
  22. Erm... on Microsoft's Nightmare Scenario · · Score: 1

    There already is banking online... for one example.

  23. It's easy... on Microsoft's Nightmare Scenario · · Score: 1

    No competition and they own your projects. Why end up spending more money on defending their business when they can just buy the competitor?

  24. Re:But... on Practical Exploits of Broken MD5 Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Where'd you come up with the "32 bits" thing? It's 128.

    Yeh sorry about that. Got confused with 32 character output.

  25. But... on Practical Exploits of Broken MD5 Algorithm · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't this the problem with all algorithms? Only way to know if something is something... is to see something instead of its checksum?
    As for md5... with only 32bits, it should've came up with repetitive hashes in end anyways?

    I guess since the article explains some issues against md5 security, the only answer would be to trust the source that is supplying the hash in the first place? Coming down to the fact that a system is only as secure as its user?
