  1. Man, this is a trip down memory lane ... on Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The quotes about the anonymous principal, in the article? Yeah, I went to that school, she was principal back then, and the comments are 100% spot on. Funny that she'd find her way into the SMH and onto Slashdot ...

  2. In other news ... on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 5, Funny

    Teenage girls all over America issue restraining orders against Steve Jobs, related to his attempts to "share his earphones" with them.

  3. Re:And the other half? on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 5, Funny

    [Accusation of bash.org plagiarism]

  4. Re:Excellent on Innovative Ion Trap on a Semiconductor · · Score: 1

    The thing is, I count four words. Yes, I'm a pedant.

  5. Re:beaming power back to earth? on Space Spiders to Assemble Satellites in Orbit · · Score: 1

    Yep. I can't wait for a real-life "oops". The only crappy thing about the oops disaster is that it couldn't be manually triggered, IIRC.

  6. In other news... on Water Vapor Causing Climate Warming · · Score: 2, Funny

    Scientists have reported that they have discovered a thick layer of gases and evaporated liquids around the earth which they believe contributes to global warming. They have named this layer of various elements, composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, the "atmosphere". It is hoped that further investigation of the atmosphere could lead to a greater understanding of global warming.

  7. Re:Shortform of Canada on CND Government Demands Widespread Tap Access · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, it ends up being confusing to everyone :P

  8. Huh? on Taking On Software Liability - Again · · Score: 1

    An article in which a BBC correspondent wrote an article? What was that article about, someone else writing another article?

  9. The "New" has an initial capital for a reason on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 3, Informative

    The "New" refers to South Wales, rather than the uni. Might wanna read a bit closer next time.

  10. Re:Yay! on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1

    Or even 20kph.

  11. In Other News ... on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 1

    The Quad Damage development team has shown disappointing early results, but are confident of a breakthrough sometime soon.

  12. Yeah, those pesky Firefoxes on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Keeping Red Pandas can be a pain, so I'm glad the need for them will be reduced.

  13. Re:sorry had to on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1

    Which means that about a billion other people do own a Gamecube ... pretty good market penetration, I'd say.

  14. Re:Obviously? on The Seven Laws of Identity · · Score: 1

    So you signed up to the tinfoil hat brigade, giving them enough details for them to issue a card?

  15. What about the volume? on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 1

    Even if the numbers of people downloading legally and those downloading illegally reach parity, I think another facet of the problem is that those who download illegally tend to do so in greater volumes. A consumer might buy an album or two from iTunes at a time, but a pirate can get several torrents of any given artist's entire discography at a time. Which means the number of legal downloaders will have to be significantly greater than the number of pirates for true parity to be reached.
