  1. Area 51 on Slashback: Lapses, Maps, Ludwig Van · · Score: 0

    My friend tried to look at Area 51, but just got a bunch of circles covering it - one even looked like pacman!

  2. Re:Semantics on Tom's Looks at Two DARPA Grand Challengers · · Score: 0

    more competition maybe? or more drive to create a better vehicle

  3. That's nice.. on Tom's Looks at Two DARPA Grand Challengers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    but where's the article?

  4. Re:When someone puts up a website... on Slashback: Archives, Leak, Fanfilm · · Score: 0

    If you're J.K.Rowling, yes!

  7. Re:Copying Apple again? on Windows Longhorn Beta Screenshots · · Score: 1, Interesting

    On a more serious note, one of the screenshots (found here) says "you are here>>/home/". Is it just me, or does that look like Linux to you?

  8. Re:Pilots: Flight Approaches on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 1, Funny

    And, for those of us who don't like to get ripped off by cab drivers (as a comedian on "Just for Laughs" did it), we can get the landmarks straight and talk about them :D

  9. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 0

    Indeed. I use Adblock, and block everything BUT Google ads. Everyone I know that uses Adblock does this as well.

    As a matt of fact, most of the time it's impossible to get rid of their ads, since it's
    a> Not an iframe
    b> Not an image

    Basically, non-intrusive ads like google's = good. They are less imposing, and while this draws less attention to them, they are _targeted_, which is, in my opinion the highlight of Google Ads.

  10. Re:Possible applications in biological computing? on Microbes That Produce Miniature Electrical Wires · · Score: 0

    Kinda makes you think about the Battery thing in The Matrix....

  11. Re:kodak says... on Kodak To Stop Making Black and White Paper · · Score: 0

    I experienced this a few times myself, but it seems to have gone away. I assume it associates accounts and makes you enter it only a few times.

  12. Re:OMG that means ... on How To Balance Life And Technology For Kids? · · Score: 0

    But it also means he can no longer be a geek. After all, geeks don't have this "sex" thing you speak of.

  13. Re:Uncertain future.. but not in space tourism.. on t/Space Demonstrates New Air-Launch Method · · Score: 0

    Actually, they could quite possibly contract out to another country, or group of countries, such as Europe, Japan, or China.

  14. Re:Canada on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 0

    Of course. Note the fact that he states he;s form Canada. Note the fact that Canada is not in the States. Also note the fact that everywhere ELSE uses metric.

  15. Re:Minor nit on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 0

    An alternate idea is to have a hose or a tab or the like feeding into it at the same rate it's leaving. Would be hard to get right, but you have a lot of slack to refine it.

  16. Re:Aptel on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 0

    On a similar topic of conversation, my latest project is called GUIBreasts, which stemmed off a conversation about Breasts that I had drawn when we were supposed to be designing a GUI.

  17. Re:I hate Microsoft, but I hate these guys more on Microsoft Found Guilty of Patent Infringement · · Score: 0

    It will be interesting to see if Microsoft changes their mind on Patents after this.

  18. Re:Yeah this is great on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 0

    It's a plug-in, but I don't remember if non-pro members get access to those?

  19. Re:Mirror? on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: 0

    It sounds to me like the idea was there was no defacement, so the people who got in could get the info. Although, I don't see the point in this - should have just defaced it.

  20. I doubt it... on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: -1, Troll

    I really doubt the claim of the "patching". It really sounds like a cover up to me.

  21. Re:Ok, We know it is a hoax on GPS-tracked Clothing · · Score: 0

    All they have to do is make them look like a guy would REALLY enjoy them. Then, when you buy them, the girlfried/wife/whatever will think it's because you're a horny bastard, and will wear them. But only really when she sees YOU, not anyone else.

  22. Re:Absolute Hoax. on GPS-tracked Clothing · · Score: 0

    All you really have to worry about is being blocked by something solid

    Hehe, isn't this what the panties are trying to protect against? ;)

  23. Linux.. on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Linux would be better. They get educated, participate in an open source community, and, bext of all, IT'S FREE!

  24. Hmm.. on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 0

    Did this come with other site take downs?
    Another download site (http://phazeddl.com/) has disappeared in the last week as well.

  25. Re:Hmmm... on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1, Funny

    The principal one, of course, is that - with very little to do in the evenings apart from drinking rum and listening to the insects - the whole of DeFreitas' family wants to use the internet at once.

    Seems to me he's married :| !!
