  1. Re:Don't forget... on Iris Recognition To Take Off · · Score: 0

    3. You can type in your password, but would you want to have to reach the iris scanner by bending over in front of the SysAdmin?

  2. Re:Expensive to produce on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 0

    Coward to Science: "Hold it right there!"

  3. That's hot! on The 12-minute Windows Heist · · Score: 0


    So Xp has a half-life of 12 minutes... now just where do we put it on the periodic table?


    Sorry, I've heard too many lame chem. teacher jokes.

  4. Re:Emigrating Hordes of Nerds... on 50Mbps Cable Launched on Long Island · · Score: -1

    How can they get Slashdotted with those kind of connections?

    I'm not a statician, but I'd say it's close enough.

  9. For The Future on Mars Rover Breaks Free · · Score: 0

    They could probably add or improvise something simple for later rover models to help get out of this situation? Sandbags...or maybe the wheels could lock and 'walk' out.

  10. Pentium 5 on Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink · · Score: 0

    Sir, where's the Pentium 5? We have the technology.

    I mean, honestly, what about this graphic says "fairly cool" to you?

    Air goes out the left cooler than it came in?

  13. Re:It's a remote, damn it. on Apple Patents Tablet Mac (with Photos) · · Score: 0

    I also think you're on to something. For most applications, you don't need that much power--just a thin client. This would be really cool for a newspaper/remote/music studio recording manager/bedroom TV/drawing tablet to go with larger monitor/.../... things that control a larger machine. It could even be a keyboard with custom keys for games and stuff.

    Exactly what I was going to say. Stickies, too. :D

    Soundblaster Audigy 2 OEM

  20. Re:Tigerdirect is cheap for a reason on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    I agree. I recently bought a very expensive Creative Sound Blaster sound card from them for recording my band. Lo and behold, it didn't come with any driver CD. Creative refused to give me any drivers because it was "OEM" Tigerdirect refused to give me any drivers because they "ran out" Duh...they can't do simple addition to make enough CDs? I couldn't find a driver ANYWHERE and now I'm left with a useless sound card. What a rip off! It was the first online puchase I made and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I hope Apple counter-sues them for

    I'm sure after all the annoyed people, it was a relief to them that at least ONE person fell for it. But all that wasted bandwidth....

  25. Giveaway on Apple Releasing Home Media Center: iHome · · Score: 1

    The Slashdot article itself says it's a concept. Are the editors even getting tired of April Fools? It's well after 12 PM pacific time, so you're only catering to Hawaii now.
