  1. People appear to be starving in North Korea on How Technology Gets the News Out of North Korea · · Score: 1

    That's what I learned from this article.

  2. If 6 Was 9... on IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE · · Score: 1

    Now, if IE6 turned out to be IE9
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    Alright, if all the hippies cut off all their hair
    I don't care, I don't care
    Dig, 'cause I got my own browser to live through
    And I ain't gonna copy you...

  3. Using /truth /falsehood slashtags... on Blekko Launches a Search Engine With Bias · · Score: 1

    Maybe now we can find out the real TRUTH about everything? This is the search customization we REALLY need :)

  4. 2D ought to be enough for anybody on Has Christopher Nolan Turned the 3D Argument? · · Score: 1
  5. Should have seen this coming... on Google Wave Creator Quits, Joins Facebook · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "I think if you were to ask me two or three years ago if Facebook was going to be this big, I wouldn't have picked it. And I have a great deal to learn there from Mark and his team," he said.
    And a great deal of cash to earn, hey Mark is a 24-year old billionaire and they need me.
    WAVEs goodbye...

  6. Peak Hours on Mount Everest Gets 3G Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now Verizon can do a 'Can you hear me now?' commercial from the top of Mt. Everest and the answer will be 'YES! NOW LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!'

  7. IE6 FOREVER on IE6 Addiction Inhibits Windows 7 Migrations · · Score: 1

    Nothing will ever make me let you go, you are the one IE6.

    As flawed as you are, I just got used to having you around.

  8. Robo-Van is a must-have on Vans Drive Themselves Across the World · · Score: 1

    I need one of these vans for my morning commute. I can sleep in the back while the van takes all the strees from the bad drivers, horrific traffic, scared deer and occasional road-rage :)

  9. Billions of dollars are being made off your info on Facebook Adds Friend Stalker Tool · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a pain to turn off all the default features that facebook conveniently opts-in for you. By WHY should we have to?

  10. Own Wall Street huh? on Separating Cyber-Warfare Fact From Fantasy · · Score: 1

    'Current Chinese officials have told me that [they're] not going to attack Wall street, because [they] basically own it,' and Whitfield Diffie.

    Something is seriously wrong when you don't control your own economy, this can not possibly be sustainable. Someone will want to cash in on this eventually and who knows if anyone will pay up?

    slashdot hit the icon jackpot on this one! 5 icons! woot

  11. IE6 Exclusively on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I use IE6 exclusively and have for years. Nobody needs pesky add-ons, ad-blocking and tabbed browser functionality.

    I'm one of the 4.5% of the users out there who STILL use it and say sorry, but IE6 is browser for me!

  12. French Electric 'Camera' ? on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    It appears to me after doing a 5 minute google search, that this appears to be a French Electric "Camera" as seen in the middle of this page.

  13. Unfair advantage on Prosecutors Request Closed Courtroom For Goldman HFT Programmer's Trial · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How is this type of computer system that trades before anyone else even CAN considered fair or even legal? You get to control and possibly even direct the market with this tool.

    This is a monopoly on the stock market, WAY too much power in the hands of one company.

  14. Parts is Parts on The iPhone Serial Port Hack · · Score: 1

    "There you have it! All parts were acquired from eBay, Ridax and Jaycar."

    Steve Jobs: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

  15. Ready Electronic Thought Activation Reading Device on From Touchpad To Thought-pad · · Score: 0, Troll

    "The signals transmitted from each subject's brain to the computer were derived from just a handful of brain cells"

    This seems like the same amount of brain cells to do just about anything, except maybe winning a spelling contest at a Tea-party rally.

  16. Original code leaked on Oracle Claims Google 'Directly Copied' Our Java Code · · Score: 1

    10 INPUT "What is your query? ", U$
    20 PRINT "Did you mean:"; U$
    30 INPUT "Are you feeling lucky? ", N
    40 PRINT "Goodbye "; U$
    50 END

  17. Better, original stories and top-notch effects on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My opinion is that spin-off storylines and crappy effects can hurt viewership more than the cable business model. Reality shows and sequel/prequels are no substitute for a good, original story with good writers and actors. (and certainly not wrestling on a sci-fi? channel)
    Look at 'The Sopranos' 'Mad Men' or 'Battlestar Galactica' if you need proof that cable shows can be huge if done right.

  18. Only in a virtual world... on FarmVille Now Worth More Than EA · · Score: 1

    ..can you farm freely without limitations, inspections, and land usage restrictions.

  19. Fastest Train and Computer are in China on China Makes World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And the fastest social and economic downturn is in America...coincidence?

  20. Active Social Life is Key on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 2, Informative

    "people with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults, but only if they had an active social life in adolescence."

    In other words, they had friends and fun times growing up which leads them to be adventurous and outgoing.

  21. Why would anyone expect different? on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    With lobbyists, campaign contributors, secret donors, 2-party stranglehold, disinformation, barriers to entry and messed-up electronic voting machines...this is absolutely the best 'Democracy' money can buy!

  22. Thorin gave Bilbo some gold... on The Hobbit To Be Filmed In New Zealand After All · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...and Bilbo paid the actors union the funds they wanted, and everyone lived happily ever after.

  23. Phone-y on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I like my phone to be a phone.
    I must be weird.

  24. Chicxulub is FURIOUS! on Giant Impact Crater Found In Australia · · Score: 1

    Chicxulub crater from the eastern tip of Mexico is totally infuriated and angry by this news.
    Chicxulub states "I am the ORIGINAL extinction crater, and DON'T YOU FORGET IT!"

  25. Dutch ahead of the game... on Bredolab Botnet Taken Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Infected machines remain pox-ridden but the command system associated with the cybercrime network has been decapitated, following an operation led by hi-tech police in The Netherlands."

    I would say the Dutch police are getting ahead of the cyber-criminals.
    That guy should know that botnets are not the way to get ahead in life.
    It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong, he'll never be the head of a major corporation.
