  1. All you need... on Power Armor For the Elderly · · Score: 3, Funny

    All you'll need to do to get this really popular in the states is to start showing Aliens over and over, and have this company's commercial mixed in.

    "Get away from her you BITCH!"

  2. Re:Fake on iTunes Sells 500 Millionth Song · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe the 430M figure is what Apple's reporting, and this site accidentially did the math if it were, say MiS (Mega binary Songs; multiplied 430 by 2^20) and just rounded up!

  3. What if... on Disney World Collecting Fingerprints · · Score: 2

    What if you managed to get your index finger lopped off (or at least "slightly damaged") during your stay at the park?

    Or what if you happened to break your hand at work, got a huge settlement, and are now taking time off... will this thing recognize bits of your cast?

    Swelling due to a beesting or some allergy perhaps?

    In any case, I wonder what Disney's policy is for these sorts of unusual cases.

  4. Re:What a Great Idea! on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    Indeed.

    Clemenceau said "War is too important to be left to the generals".

    I guess the internet is too important to be left to the technicians.

  5. ... why on Slashdot? on Linux and Windows Security Neck and Neck · · Score: 1

    This is just gonna generate one or two flame threads, and a multitude of threads of people agreeing with one another about why Linux > OMGMICRO$UX0R!!!!

    The sad part is that this very message is probably going to get repeated several times.

  6. Re:Next in line... on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    And caching sites that happen tohave illegal music, texts, pictures and videos...

  7. Re:choir on How Linux Beats Windows in ID Management Ease · · Score: 1

    Though we'll probably get the effect that 95% of them claim so...

    Where do your true loyalties lie?

  8. Re:They aren't safe enough! on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll support your proposal, so long as the cover-cover is manufactured entirely in Knoxville, TN at Gimbal-Wingnut Aerospace in a Gov't-funded factory expansion with a sufficiently large tax break.

  9. Re:I gotta get one! on Toshiba HD-DVD Player Planned to Enforce HDMI · · Score: 1

    Anyone know how I can hook this new box up without disconnecting my Atari 2600?

    You could probably build a 2600 cart that's really an adaptor, and just feed the video through the 2600.

    That is once we've figured out how to hack this bitch.

  10. Re:People will buy this crap... on Toshiba HD-DVD Player Planned to Enforce HDMI · · Score: 1

    ...a small microchip on the DVD itself, in the center, which will be programmed the first time it is played, so it will only play on one DVD player...

    Sounds a lot like the old DIVX scam. Just remember that it failed. We can hope that this will too.

  11. If you crash... on Tron Lightcycles, in Real Life · · Score: 1

    ...where's the explosives to give that neat blowing-up effect like in the movie?

    At the very least, if you hit the wall does it punch a hole in whatever wall you hit and then remove your own from the playing field?

  12. Re:Another "disaster" will happen again on 107 Cameras to Scan Discovery for Damage · · Score: 1

    Moreover, look further into the past-

    After Apollo I ... no more fires from faulty wiring+pure oxygen+aluminum.

    After Apollo XIII ... no more oxygen tank explosions.

    There are a number of other minor accidents that happened at other points in the space program that we got over...

  13. The conspiracy starts! on 107 Cameras to Scan Discovery for Damage · · Score: 2, Funny

    It should allow scientists to detect the slightest crack in the shuttle's thermal protection, according to Bob Page, the official in charge of the imaging system.

    Well, get ready because here comes MJ12, Daedalus, etc...
