    Mod points are for the hoi polloi of slashdot society, however you are but a peasant.

    Microsoft claims that they will fix backwards compatibility so that all the viruses will work under its most recent OS.

    Sugar has always made me feel better. Isn't that what most Placebos are? So next time I get a life threatening disease, I'm going to buy a Snickers Bar

    What part of the word "no" are you having difficulty with?

    Well, I get messed up at the 'n' and I'm afraid that it doesn't get much better after that.

    I wonder if it is smart enough to know which came first, the chicken or the egg. Or would that cause it to melt down?

  8. Nano alternatives on MIT Secretly Built Mega-Efficient Nano Batteries · · Score: 0

    I was once thinking about building a nano flea circus, however the car would be too small to fit all the fleas in. Maybe this means I could have the fleas drive around in an electric car with nano batteries.... Next step... Profit!

  14. Money From the Sky on GM, Utilities Partner To Advance Plug-In Hybrids · · Score: 0

    While I like the idea of charging cars, you might be hard-pressed for the government helping to fund such a venture. The government makes too much money off of taxing fuel to use on roads and whatnot. In the end, they would probably end up taxing your electric bill at home.

    I think it is interesting it is one atom long by ten atoms wide. Isn't the definition of the long side the one that is longer? Heh... article buried as inaccurate.

  19. Re:FIOS TV Has one HUGE Limitation IMO on Comcast Puts the Screws To HDTV · · Score: 0

    That is incorrect. At first they required the ActionTec router, however they changed that to newer routers that are half the size. Additionally, they changed their service to a Comcast style solution to where the router can be in any room of the house in contrast to needing to run the coax into the ActionTec box and the ethernet spicket that they provide.

    A few things:


    > These electronic brains govern everything from meal preparation and waking up the household to assembling shopping lists and keeping track of the bank balance. Sensors in kitchen appliances, climatizing units, communicators, power supply and other household utilities warn the computer when the item is likely to fail. A repairman will show up even before any obvious breakdown occurs.

    We have not gotten to this point yet, however, it is appearing piecemail
     


    This has occurred a little bit... IBM can fix their computers before they have broken. Many motherboards will warn you when you have a hard drive that is failing.

     
    > Farming isn't confined to land. Mariculturists have turned areas of the sea into beds of protein-rich seaweed and algae. This raw material is processed into food that looks and tastes like steak and other meats. It also is cheap; families can have steak-like meals twice a day without feeling a budget pinch. Areas in bays or close to shore have been turned into shrimp, lobster, clam and other shellfish ranches, like the cattle spreads of yesteryear.
    This hadn't happened, thank the gods!
     


    While the statement as a whole is not entirely true, such as the food thing that was done in "The Matrix", areas of bays being closed off for farms is reality for clams, guiducks and whatnot. (Perhaps this should have been broken up into two items.)

  22. Re:teh goggles... on Scientists' Success Or Failure Correlated With Beer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think that with further testing, they would also notice a strong correlation between beer drinking and getting/having ladies. Further analysis would prove that when ladies increases, time decreases. The end result being that there is less time to write papers. This would tend to lead researchers to believe that if you didn't like girls, you could be more successful, however you would get laid less often.

  23. No... on Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 · · Score: 0

    You will need to find a windows XP emulator that works in Windows 2012. After all, it is coming out in late 2008. I think it means the fiscal century.
