  1. Re:How? on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1

    Claim it's the latest Hollywood hottie's "home movies". Cause really, anybody that want's to see your wedding was probably already there.

  2. Re:Am I the only one... on RIAA Wants To Throw In the Towel On 3-Year-Old Case · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they have already.

  3. Re:Matter assembly on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    I was wondering when some moron was going to blame this on the "War on Iraq".

  4. Re:NAS: Western Digital MyBook World Edition II on What NAS To Buy? · · Score: 1

    I bought the 1 disk 1Tb world edition a year ago. They suck. Period. I can read and write to a 5400 rpm usb notebook drive faster than the Worldbook on a gigabit network. Pulled the drive and put in in a freenas box. Much better throughput.

  5. Here, this is the easiest, no tap dancing needed. on Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief · · Score: 1

    If you aren't paying for it, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF IT!

  6. Re:GMT -5 on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Seizure the real problem on EFF To Fight Border Agent Laptop Searches · · Score: 1

    Then they throw your ass in jail for carrying "National Secrets" when you don't have the proper clearance.

  8. Re:Until they bother fixing critical bugs... on Firefox 3 Hits Release Candidate 2 · · Score: 1

    I love when people complain about not having enough ram. Especially when they have more gigs in ram than I have gigs on my laptop hard drive.

  9. No cure for human stupidity. on Smart Phones "Bigger Security Risk" Than Laptops · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've had users laminate their user name and password to their laptop palm rest. Security of information is great and all, but in the end, the user is the weakest link.

  10. Hand deliver it. on How Would You Prefer To Send Sensitive Data? · · Score: 1

    Copy it to a truecrypted thumb drive then personally hand deliver the drive to the consultant's computer. No one but you has the password. You input the key on the new computer.

  11. Re:Brain Hacking on Using Magnets To Turn Off the Brain's Speech Center · · Score: 1

    I never notices any difference in dreams. I don't think there's enough magnetic power in them to really effect people.

  12. Re:Encoded Signals on NASA Will Man Destruct Switch Just In Case · · Score: 2, Funny

    It probably uses WEP.

  13. Here's who I'd pick. on MacGyver Film In the Works? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Samuel L. Jackson

  14. Re:Anthropologists As Well As Zoologists on Nuked Coral Reef Bounces Back · · Score: 1

    Not that what we did was a good thing, but at least we moved them. I can think of a few different groups that would have just used the islanders as more test subjects.

  15. Re:It's worse, it makes it (sound) xenophobic on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 2, Funny

    300 pound Whoppers.

  16. Fly paper. on US Satellites Dodging Chinese Missile Debris · · Score: 1

    What we need is a chunk of reinforced flypaper the size of a football field. Or at least something along the lines of that. Or maybe something like those sticky mouse trap things. Big ol' chunk of sticky crap to trap and hold the chunks. Though then you'll need a way to get rid of that. Push it towards the sun would be a good choice. De-orbit might be okay, though the Aussie's might not think so, considering SkyLab.

  17. Re:First prize for impracticality on Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike · · Score: 1

    See this thread isn't completely useless. I just learned something new. :)

  18. Re:First prize for impracticality on Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike · · Score: 1

    Unless the blades are variable pitch, he ain't even going to autogyro down. The way it works is to unclutch the rotor from the engine, the airflow spins the rotor up. At the correct time, i.e. right before you pancake into the ground, you pull up on the collective. That increases the pitch of the blades which creates more lift. The down side of this is that it slows down the rotor.

  19. Re:USA tests on The United States Space Arsenal · · Score: 1

    The 4th of freaking July!

  20. Re:This is Enlarged Text on Probe Shows Jupiter Moon 'Puking' Into Space · · Score: 1

    Why yes, you did. :)

  21. Re:errr on "Bear" Robot to Rescue Wounded Troops · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never run into a black bear in the woods. I don't care how big a guy you are, a black bear will kick any human's ass.

  22. Re:They do this all the time on Pirate Bay Raid Investigation Finished · · Score: 1

    They're all too stoned to notice.

  23. Who cares? on Sen. Ted Stevens Introduces "Son of DOPA" · · Score: 1

    We already block MySpace, and wikipedia is just about the most useless "information" site on the planet.

  24. Re:Magnetic Fluid on 5 Strangest Materials · · Score: 5, Funny

    DO NOT!!! Put one of those magnets within two feet of the bottle of ferro fluid while the lid is off. That stuff stains paint, on the ceiling....

  25. Re:Ted Stevens, I love the guy..... on How The Internet Works - With Tubes · · Score: 1

    That's gotta be the stupidest thing I've read on /. in at least the last three minutes. They filmed the show in freaking Washington State!
