  1. Re:Palm App Clunker... NOT! on The Kafka-esque Nightmare of Palm App Submission · · Score: 1

    Not. The iPhone data usage stats has reduced by 6% last month and 2.8% the month before. The lost share being taken by Android primarily and Symbian (5800, N97, Samsung HD). Looking at the shape of the graphs, Apple better do something.

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

    Being a stutterer all my life, it's pretty heartening to know that some positive research is being done in this oft neglected field.

  3. Use a neural net on Where's the Traveling Salesman for Google Maps? · · Score: 1

    Just use a neural net in conjunction with Gmaps. Hook up the system to a GPS tracker and train it for a few weeks. Then link up GMaps and you get a pretty damn accurate system to suggest routes and points to the salesman.

  4. Clubmosh on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    Another new consortium is being launched for indie labels. I have signed up more than 80 bands now but still in the process of loading the content. Clubmosh . Our sole aim is to get rid of the hegemony of RIAA and eventually get some bigger names with us. Hope the community likes it.

  5. Non RIAA labels on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    Hi All I have been trying to launch a non RIAA label. Clubmosh. www.clubmosh.com . The thing is pretty basic now. We have signed up 80 labels already. but still loading up the music. Bear with us for a few more weeks. Hope the /. community likes it.

  6. Video Recordings on Effective Use of Technology In the Classroom? · · Score: 1

    I went to Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Believe me, over there we had the most technically assisted smart classrooms. Media projectors, tablets connected to projectors, SMS questions to be shown on a seperate screen live and video recordings. My experience has been that other than the tablet thing, nothing else adds much value to the typical whiteboard setup except video recordings. These video recordings of lectures synced with the powerpoint slides which were available till the semester exams were done with were immensely useful in clearing out the last minute doubts. I wonder why this hasnt found much penetration in the universities/colleges internationally. Especially the wealthy ones.

  7. The merger might already have happened... on Astronomers Witness Whopper Galaxy Collision · · Score: 1

    considering that the action is taking place 5 billion light years away ftfa. The news is late by an eternity.

  8. asian research on Quantum Dots Might Be Key For Teleportation · · Score: 1

    As a part of the project in my junior year, I feel extremely elated to see it on the frontpage of slashdot.

  9. Re:Induction? on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 1

    Tesla would be proud.

  10. Re:Hilarious. on Slashdot's Vastu · · Score: 1

    FYI Karma is an Indian word derived into the English language during the colonial rule.

  11. Well well well... on P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults · · Score: 1

    A classic example of a hide under the table when theres an earthquake behavior. The defendent must had some sense and hired a decent attorney to defent her. I do feel that the judgement is a bit too harsh, but then contempt of court is seen as one of the most severe offences and the judiciary always makes an example out of it. Too bad that the RIAA got on the brighter side.

  12. Stop trying to be funny.... on ISPs to Create Database to Combat Child Porn · · Score: 1

    mark me as troll/flaimbait. Please stop trying to be funny abt kiddie porn. This isnt M$ that we are discussing here. At least have some respect for those poor souls subjected to such horrific stuff.

  13. How would it work?? on ISPs to Create Database to Combat Child Porn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am wondering how would the system differentiate between me uploading my lil bro in his swimwear and some other almost naked pic of a kid meant for some sick bastard in some dingy corner. Wait till u see the feds knocking on your door for no apparant reason. I bet false positives will be enormous.. Far too much to outweigh the advantages of the system. Also as another dude pointed out earlier obfuscation of this type of contect isnt really difficult. The entire system is flawed and makes me think .. could google/yahoo be of any help in combating child porn??

  14. Sleep... an no redbull on Coping with Exam Panic Attacks? · · Score: 1

    Sleep... as much as you can before your exam. Thats the single most inmportant thing to cope with exam panic attacks. Happened to me a year back. had 2 exams back to back on the same day. Stayed up all night. Prepared nicely. Ended up getting D in both the papers (Power Systems and High velocity fluids). Also seek medical attention if necessary. A tab of nexito/xanax do work in cooling you down. Also never ever take red bull before any paper. Fks up with your system. Thoughts just dont flow. Anyway, if nothing works, just go drunk to the exam.

  15. in other news on Review - Apple's MacBook Pro · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    A dell exploded in a jap conference with a misterious man in tux around the scene. Search is still on. About the mcbkpro, ya we all know it runs hot and the glossy screen is no better than an acer.

  16. The spirit is willing on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    but the flesh is soft and spungy..

  17. requesting more snoo snoo on Futurama Returns · · Score: 4, Funny

    and brannigans antics

  18. Re:Vagueness on Apple Offers Solution to IT Roadmap Complaints · · Score: 5, Informative

    FTFA, Its software roadmap they are primarily talking about. "Those attending the conference get a clear roadmap of Apple's software development plans up to 18 months ahead"

  19. Re:This is the only way... and still won't work. on Apple Offers Solution to IT Roadmap Complaints · · Score: 3, Funny

    True.. they have no choice. they cant piss off it managers who invest thousands deploying apple hardware. might make it a lil bit difficult for the info to seep out. uh... nevermind. that wont happen. Apple cant even fart without the fansites going nuts over it.

  20. Reload in Opera on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1

    Use opera browser. rightclick>reload after every 5 seconds....... bliss for the server. let the revolt be unchained.

  21. Re:Hype time already? on Kong Mirrors Real Evolutionary Paths · · Score: 1

    How about the mountain gorillas of rwanada? they have evolved w/o human predators for millions of years. I dont concur that this is an ad stunt by cnn.

  22. regular scoop? on Radio Telescope Has Military Uses? · · Score: 0, Troll

    WTF is my regular google/apple cuppa?

  23. use nucleophillic and electrophilic extensively on Organizing Organic Chemical Reactions? · · Score: 1

    Hey... I did organic some 6 years back. The best way to remember is to go through the basic 20-25 mechanisms at the electron transfer level. It seems a lot more logical. Just try understanding the mechanisms of wolf kishner, canizzaros, aldol condensation etc. I guess organic chemistry by Francis Carey is a very lucid text... much better than the old stuff like il finar or morrison n boyd. For cyclic compounds, get the reactions classified as groups which are electron injecting or electron extracting. Yea and also get to know all the condensation reactions peoperly. aldol, pinacole pinacolone (my favourite), etc. write to me at ch3.ch2.cho@gmail.com . i got a coupla brilliant sources for mechanisms. Dont recall now. Happy studying.

  24. RAZR V3i on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: 1

    Macrumors reported yesterday that motorola has announced the razr v3i with expandable memory and itunes. I think apple has rethought their phone mp3 plans and decided to lisence itunes for better phones.

  25. Brilliant!! on The Ultimate Star Trek Collection · · Score: -1, Troll

    Now I gotta go n order my captain kirk dress n thenget teh collection.... not to mention I'd shave off my head too...
