  1. Did he ever see Gates McFadden nude? on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 5, Funny

    I always wanted to know if he had seen Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverley Crusher) nude while on set. Frankly, I wish I could see pictures of her nude body. But if he had seen it live, then more power to him!

  2. What do they do with all that money? on The Lawsuit of the Rings · · Score: 1

    Well, the first thing they could do with all of the money is donate it to the International Red Cross. They would use it to help the tsunami victims, or help those women and children in Iraq (and soon Iran) who had their arms and legs blown off by US weaponry. And then there are various cancer foundations that could use the funding to help put an end of cancer. Those are far more noble uses than greedcocks buying more cars or mansions.

  3. I root for neither. on The Lawsuit of the Rings · · Score: 1

    I root for neither the rich greedcock artists nor the rich greedcock executives. Greed is flowing on both sides, and greed is the antithesis of art. Art is meant to be enjoyed, not bickered over financially.

  4. When artists go bad. on The Lawsuit of the Rings · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I had a lot of respect for him. I used to see him as Peter Jackson, Cinematic Artist. Now I see him as Peter Jackson, Greedcock. The same thing has happened with many musicians. They become famous, and forget their artistic roots in favor of money. It is a sad day in the cinematic community.

  5. Re:Needed for upcoming military adventures. on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The hostages were only released because the Reaganite Republicans were willing to give weapons to international terrorists. You are correct, Carter was unable to free them. But that was only because he was unwilling to cooperate and subsidize terrorists like the Republicans were willing to do.

  6. Needed for upcoming military adventures. on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Medical techniques such as this will be required for the upcoming American invasions of places like Iran and Syria. Unlike Iraq, Iran and Syria do have trained troops and standing militaries. Any incursions into their territory will lead to all out warfare of the worst kind. The casualities will be immense. If the America government wishes to keep the American public onside, then they will need to be able to minimize the casualties they suffer. Techology such as this may help, if it is possible to do it on the battle field.

  7. Re:Available in retail outlets? on New Keyboard Technology · · Score: 1

    What part of England are you from? I'm from Leeds, and it's a very common word. It does not refer to the penis, as I'm sure you incorrectly believe it does. It refers to those with a Cockney accent, building on the incorrect stereotype that they are less intelligent than most.

    With regards to your keyboard comment, it is not possible to cut out the "middleman", as the manufacturers themselves are acting in that role.

  8. Re:Trains like this are revolutionizing Europe. on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    Sure you will. The distance between parts of Germany and parts of Italy through Switzerland is around 200 km. Now let's consider the MATH. I hope you have been exposed to the metric system, which many not have happened considering you're an American, because that is the system of units we will be using.

    Take an average fast train travelling at 300 km/h. The distance my friends travel is approximately 230 km.

    300 km/h / 1h/60m = 5km/m
    5km/m * 45m = 225 km

    As you can see, it's more than possible to travel from Germany to Italy, through Switzerland, taking one of the express trains. Please do the math and consult a map yourself.

  9. Re:Trains like this are revolutionizing Europe. on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    No shit. But what's your point? You do know that the trains go through these things called TUNNELS to get through the Alps, and they travel on tracks that ru OVER THE LAND of Switzerland, correct?

  10. No seat belts! on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    There are no seatbelts. The train itself does not "slam on the brakes". It takes some time to slow and stop. Like you mention, the intertia is tremendous. If it did try that, then the carriage would tear off of the wheel housings.

    If something is obstructing the track, then whatever it is is fucked. The train will try to stop, but the object will still get smacked into.

  11. Re:how fast on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 4, Informative

    It can stop quite quickly. If you had read the article, you would have seen the bit about the retractable "cat ears" fin breaks that are extended to provide air resistance. Combined with the latest in pneumatic brakes, it is quite possible to stop these trains within very short distances.

  12. Far less pollution, lower cost, fuel efficiency.. on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 3, Informative

    These trains create far less pollution than flying. But that is because they also you far less fuel, and the fuel they do use burns far more efficiently than jet fuel. The lower fuel consumtion leads to them being far cheaper, as well. In some areas of Japan you can get a unlimited-use monthly train pass for the equivalent of US$120. That's the cost of a one-way plane ticket between very close destinations.

  13. Trains like this are revolutionizing Europe. on Japan Tests New Bullet Train · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Trains like this are becoming more and more prevalent in mainland Europe. Indeed, they are smashing the national boundaries in ways that are almost unimaginable. I know people in Germany who are able to work in Italy, and only have a 45 minute train commute each way!

    When I visited the US I noticed that there were almost no passenger trains. Indeed, I wish there were, because I far prefer trains to planes and driving.

  14. Eased our transition from Debian to NetBSD! on OpenBSD Ports and Packages Explained · · Score: 1

    We recently transitioned some of our smaller servers from Debian to NetBSD. Indeed, the BSD packages and ports system is fantastic. It allowed us to get our new servers up and running in no time. Kudos to all who have perfected the BSD ports and packages system.

  15. Re:What is the "Source" Language? on Java: One Step Closer To Open Source · · Score: 1

    Sun's Java compiler (javac) is supposedly written in Java. The java program is just a front end to the Java virtual machine, which is rumored to be written in C. Bison is a technology for implementing parsers. It is not really a general programming language itself.

  16. Let's do a Slashdot ISP rating. on PC World's ISP Service Rankings, as of June 2005 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Let's do a Slashdot ISP rating instead. I think it'll be more accurate, because we don't have to worry about not saying negative things about our sponsors, unlike a magazine like PC World.

    So state your ISP, and rank them out of 10, with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best. Explain why they're good, and any past experiences.

  17. I don't like cockfoolery. on Game To Play During Lunch? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't like cockfoolery, and I will confront anyone I find committing cockfoolery. And I will call them the cockfools that they are.

  18. Polygamy doesn't sound very conservative! on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Somebody else here said that the Mormons are very conservative. But they allow for polygamy? That doesn't sound very conservative! That's what I'd expect from the most hardcore, liberal hippy types!

  19. Re:No but they do have more Boy Scouts on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Oh I see. If the children are getting legitimately lost, then that's okay. I thought that that post was implying that people of Utah had a predeliction for the boy penis, which I was hoping was quite a misrepresentation of reality!

  20. Re:What is Utah really like? on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Why do their children go missing so often? Does Mormonism lead to higher levels of kidnapping and pedophilia for some reason?

  21. Doesn't COPPA cover this? on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does not the COPPA cover the dealings of youth on the Internet? Why did they introduce redundancy and possible conflicting legislaton like this?

  22. Yes. on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Yes, many at Slashdot are against Mormons and Utah, namely because of the SCO attacks against Linux and the entire open source community. Remember, SCO is based out of Utah. The misactions of people will tarnish the reputation of their abode. That is just a fact of life.

  23. Legal locality is a thing of the past. on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    In the past, you used to have to actually commit your crime within the boundaries and jurisdiction of a particular judicial area. Those days are long gone. You can be tried in abstentia now for crimes even in areas without jurisdiction.

  24. What is Utah really like? on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have to ask what Utah is really like. I'm from Britain, so I've never been there. But all I hear about is that they're a very backwards state, in basically every way possible. I've even heard some people go so far as to say that Utah is resonsible for a lot of the decay in the United States today. Are those claims true, or are they just overgeneralizations based on the actions of a select few individuals?

  25. Re:It's not about the price, stupid. on New Keyboard Technology · · Score: 1

    I will reply anyway, out of professional courtesy. I am glad to see that we agree that mapmaker is a cockbaiter. But indeed, on topic now, it would be beneficial if there was more competition within the keyboard market. That would truly lead to lower prices for all, and the availability of these keyboards would be very beneficial, too.
