  1. Dictator Game on Scientists Discover Gene For Ruthlessness · · Score: 0

    Has anybody been able to track down the link to the "Dictator Game"? It sounds like fun.

  2. Re:Damn on How to Keep Your Code From Destroying You · · Score: 0

    Kill Bad Aliens would be my guess but maybe that's a codename. Did TFA mention when it would be released?

  3. Re:Diet Coke? on The Final Days of Google · · Score: 0

    Miso soup and tea are also fine accompaniments to sushi and they would probably be better for worker's productivity, coherence and of course, digestion. Sake is best enjoyed with a hostess at a nearby bar. Could that be worked into your proposed loyalty programme?

  4. Book Reviews: Chris++ Cookbook on DIY Laptop · · Score: 0

    This much anticipated release from O'Reilly is an essential part of any serious programmer's arsenal of reference books.

  5. Mission Accomplished on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 0

    Well it looks like the campaign was a complete success. TFA did not forget to mention the up and coming movie: "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is a cartoon with a cultish following that airs as part of the Adult Swim late-night block of programs for adults on the Cartoon Network. A feature length film based on the show is slated for release March 23.

  6. An earlier early warning system. on An Early Warning System For Earthquakes · · Score: 0

    Why don't the Italians just ring up the Japanese and ask them? They seem to be 4 months ahead. http://www.digi-help.com/disaster/japan-quake-warn ing-system.asp

  7. Overrated on Google Shares Ad Wealth With Videographers · · Score: 0

    'The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiment' video was such a disappointment. I was expecting him to eat the mentos, down the DC and then start jumping up and down. I'm not sure which advertisers would wish to be associated with that though...

  8. ...don't forget the tape drive on David Brin Laments Absence of Programming For Kids · · Score: 0

    Yeah forget the emulator idea! Give them a C64 and a tape drive. Sounds more like an elaborate scam to keep the brats busy while Dad plays WoW.

  9. Re:Great... more garbage on Japan to Discourage Sale of Old Electronics · · Score: 0

    That does depend on where you live in Japan. http://www.cuke.com/misc/Japanese%20recycling.html
    My city is still pretty lazy about rubbish sorting but I don't envy those living in Yokohama.

  10. Noise induced hearing... on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 0
    its ability to cause noise-induced hearing isn't any higher, experts said..

    Hearing induced by noise? Who would have thought?

  11. The Pink Avenger on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 0

    What's everybody worrying about?

    The porn industry will think of something.

  12. Re:Goat Rearing? on Open Source Worse than Flying · · Score: 0

    Or perhaps even heart rending? Gut wrenching? I don't know what he meant.

  13. Goat Rearing? on Open Source Worse than Flying · · Score: 0

    Does he mean gut rendering?

  14. Incomplete review... on Next Generation of MP3 Glasses · · Score: 0
    No fashion review can be complete with some photographs. Where are the action shots of him parading these down the street on one of those "very bright, sunny, California days?"

    Do they really make you look like a complete tool as you stroll past in your polarized, MP3 cocoon?

    What happens if you try and interview someone using the built-in voice recorder?

    Is the storage case really "a little too geeky for most to use it on their belt?"

    I want to see!

  15. Re:Red is the colour on Lockheed Martin Selects Linux for Missile Defense · · Score: 0

    There'd be none of this Red nonsense if the Cold War was still on.

    It would be RedWhiteBlue Linux all the way!

  16. Re:Immagine the applications on Bionic Hands to Become a Reality Soon? · · Score: 0

    That's lucky. If they did, Poor blind billy would be spending a fortune on razor blades.

  17. Re:Immagine the applications on Bionic Hands to Become a Reality Soon? · · Score: 0

    Do bionic palms grow bionic hairs?

  18. Re: Reuters Rooted on Australia Pushes Geothermal Energy · · Score: 1

    I can spell, I just can't type very well. Were you offended by me quoting a former Australian Prime Minister?

  19. Reuters Rooted on Australia Pushes Geothermal Energy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I can't read the damn article. Is it possible that Reuters is susceptible to slashdot? I didn't think that many people would be interested in reading about the ass end of the wrold, sorry Australia.

  20. Re:Its not really fair testing Beta Software... on Mac OS X x86 Put To The Test · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone care about this crap "review"? Thanks for that fantastic piece of unbiased journalism Kai Schmerer.

    This article reads like a review of OS X and its features itself. It skims over a couple of questionable benchmarks and tests but really doesn't go into much depth.

    "Steve Jobs might not approve..."

    The only thing Steve Jobs might not approve of there is how obviously old Kai there is promoting the Mac OS. I think Kai is quite blatantly on the Apple payroll or maybe jobs just threw him a few Nanos for his trouble. He might want to take them back from Kai for not being subtle enough.

    This article is just more fuel for the argument that the current trend is for journalists to paint Apple and its' products in a favourable light. [ Are Media Writers Biased Towards Apple?] I've used a number OSs and mostly agree with what was said about "The Mac OS Advantage"[isn't that straight of the Apple website?]. It's just that such crass displays of paid advertising makes my skin crawl. After reading this "review", I'd be tempted to take the Toshiba just to be certain I wasn't subconciously influenced by any of the rubbish written by this drone.

  21. Re:dude on Ground Rules for the Windows vs. Mac War · · Score: 1

    Yeah those bullet trains think they're so sleek and sexy. Thomas could woo them into submission with his boyish good looks, no problems.

  22. I think he enjoys removing spyware on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: 1

    I'd have thought that, as CEO of Intel, Mr. Otellini would have the insight to delegate the boring task of spyware removal to one of his subordinates. I'd also have thought that, on a CEO's salary, he could well afford to pay some struggling IT undergrad to do it for him.

    My guess is that every hour per week Mr. Otellini spends on his daughter's computer is one less hour he has to spend playing with her.

    Buying a Mac(or something else, as the quote alludes) isn't the answer. He needs to buy his daughter a book or some toys so she's got something to do while he enjoys pottering around with his spyware removal tools.

  23. Re:Mr. Otellini, the Board will see you now. on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit partial to Apple but I couldn't help but interpret this as a dig at Apple Computers (maybe I'm a bit defensive).

    It reminded me of that RVB Switch spoof (http://www.roosterteeth.com/archive/). It was almost as if he said "sure buy an Apple but...If you want to fix IT[The Apple] tomorrow, buy something else."

    It's OK if it's an iPod (I've had 2 replaced immediately, no questions asked) but if something bad goes wrong with any of your big Apple hardware, chances are, you won't be able to fix it yourself and it will involve a long an expensive stint down at the service centre.

    Personally, I think Mr. Otellini won't have any trouble with the Board.
