  1. William Shatner's first movie was in Esperanto on Google Launches Endangered Languages Project · · Score: 0

    dont forget that William Shatner's first movie was in Esperanto en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto

  2. MineSweeper 2.0 on Hawking Is First User of "Big Brain" Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    All that power and he is playing Mine Sweeper and Free Cell ;-) just kidding. Try to think of how fast Ski Free would run on that.

  3. Disney on Apple Yanks Toddler's Speech-Enabling App · · Score: 0

    Oh sounds like Disney will buy out that software then. I know my 2yr old loves running arounf the living room chanting, Lighting McQueen! Lighting McQueen! Ka-Chow! Lighting McQueen!

  4. Iron Triangle not worried about being fat on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    I think Richmond should work on crime first. Updating the roads, and schools before they start messing with what people can and can not drink. i mean really now. get with it people. -also not as big of a problem in Mexico where they DO NOT use High Fruitose Corn Suryp in their soads.. hmm makes you think. When did HFCS get big, yep you got it, in the 80s when New Coke came out. that was the first main brand drink in the US to use the HFCS junk. when they then moved back to coke classic they kept using the fake sugar and didnt go back to real sugar. since then has anyone else noticed how people are now getting larger and dying of more cancers?

  5. Doesnt feel like a free country now, Russia anyone on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    Next they will make you stand in line for Bagels, but no schmear for you because it can make you fat.. what will be next Coffee Creamers? Snicker Bars? if they let this happen there would be no end to them telling us how to look.

  6. Re:Needed to sell 3M copies to break even? on Curt Schilling Fires Entire Staff At 38 Studios · · Score: 0

    I agree with everything you stated. I got Amalur, just to tie me over till D3 came out. after about a 18game hours into it i was almost done and felt as if it lacked something.. like a better story line, or good DLC. the visuals left a lot out. the only fun thing was the end moves you did on Larger Bad guys, but you can see those on YouTube now, no need to pay for a game so see something cool from it, if you can check it out on youTube ;-) plus a game & world that none of my techie buddies knows or cares about seems strange that they would drop so much $$ into it. kickstarter anyone? lol

  7. So wrong on Another Afghan School Poisoned — 160 Girls Hospitalized · · Score: 0

    I know that there are bad people around the world. but this has to be stopped. The whole religion holding down the masses in any country is upsetting. USA was founded on freedom of Religion (I am a minister of UCL, subdivision of Norse Gods) But they don’t want me to start churches for it ;-) hehehe. What we really need to do as /.ers is find evidence of Alien life that they cannot dispute, end all religions and start over with something more fitting like a “Book of How to be Chivalrous”.

  8. I have a wife and son (and full time job lol) on Are Porn and Video Games Ruining a Generation? · · Score: 0

    and I do both everyday. but what Gen are they talking about?

  9. Re:But make sure to buy our cloud offering! on Worried About Information Leaks, IBM Bans Siri · · Score: 0

    agreed! hehehe.. i mean really everything now a days is being Cashed somewhere. like you said, check out Google and google Cashed pages... Even Bing.com has a better Casheing system than Google to where you can find more older things.

  10. Spider Ham! on Ask Slashdot: Which Comic Books To Start My 3-Year-Old With? · · Score: 0

    Spider Ham is the way to go. It has all the elements of a good hero comic plus humor directed towards kids, and everyone in it is some type of animal. Peter Porker is a Pig.. ect.

  11. Re:Incoherent strategy? on Inside the PlayStation Suite SDK · · Score: 0

    and PS3

    This is basically Sony trying to compete with iOS and Android as far as I can tell.

    Really? are you kidding? becasue you got me to laugh. 1. Sony Uses Google's Android on all their cell phones and pads. - that made your statment invalid 2. Since Android in on my Sony Xperia Play phone and I have all the apps and more games than iOS I think Sony is winning and Apple needs to comete with me.

  12. Re:Be fair, guys! on Terminal Mixup Implicates TSA Agents In LAX Smuggling Plot · · Score: 0

    hehehe.. silly.

  13. Re:Is cocaine an explosive? on Terminal Mixup Implicates TSA Agents In LAX Smuggling Plot · · Score: -1

    hehehe... rolling on the floor laughing. explosive.. that was perfect. But yeah what they do doesnt work. If they really havent caught much and things like this are happening all day long everyday. I am sure. I have flown before and was able to get stuff through security AND i was patted down and all my bags shuffled through and they still didnt find what they held in their hand at one point. hella funny.. TSA let me know if you want to know how to get stuff through ;-)

  14. Re:Why use Software at all? example the 1912 e-car on Open Source Electric Cars — Good Idea Or Not? · · Score: 0

    you are correct there, exactly. Yes code is there in the ESC, but code isn't considered "Software". Software can have coding built into the final product, but code alone isnt a Software package.

  15. Why use Software at all? example the 1912 e-car on Open Source Electric Cars — Good Idea Or Not? · · Score: 0

    in 1912 they made an electric car.. marketed it towards women. it had no software. no PC running things. just simple levers and pullys and there you go. My HPI E-Firestorm Brushless truck has no PC or Software and it is Remote Controlled.. why oh why are the car makers not using the current RC car tech? my truck with a 3c lipo will wheelie and take off to go up to 70MPH, granted i couldnt ride it to work 30miles away, but if all the parts were full scale I would bet it could.

  16. Like anyone would believe Apple on Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers · · Score: 0

    unless they are already brainwashed by them (expamle owning a iPod/phone/pad). I wouldn't go with the info Greenpeace gave out either though. I would bet the #s are actully inbetween both statements. you can do the math in your head (or in Excel if you want) power supply on a desktop machine in 2010+ is normally 400watts and up. what wasnt factored into both of their # was the monitors, lights, fans, cooling for the data center.. they both based their #s on just the PCs it seems.

  17. Re:Why! on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Trustworthy VPN Service? · · Score: 0

    exactly! becasue almost 80% of American TV shows are re-done British ones you could see on the BBC! lol.. Being Human, Life On Mars, the Idol shows ect... all were better over there before Coke and Pepsi and Dinsney got ahold of them all ;-)

  18. Re:The real state of Diablo III on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 0

    @16Chapel is correct.. ALSO like I always say, there is a way around that. Local Proxy Server set up.. then point the .ini file to 127.0.0.1 and bang your up and running with out having to be logged in. - no rewards, no selling items for real money or in game gold.. but your playing.

  19. Re:Your Freezer on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 0

    yep, no troll.. was trying to be a little funny, but yes you are right tons of non American cultures do eat the cords and placentas.. sounds way too gross for me ;-) (and good point on the HIV Cert) I have heard that some of the "banks" that do hold them have normal freezers like you would put in your garage, they are not kept at sub-zero temps. That was why i said just keep it your self.

  20. Your Freezer on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Keep it at your home in your freezer and defrost it in a year and eat it

  21. Re:Always a way on New SimCity To Require Constant Internet Connection · · Score: 0

    Did you read the full info on how they planned on doing it? Steam accounts...
    & lets say I want to play Need For Speed the Run with no internet connection.. done i beat that game in two days, glad i didnt pay for it
    also play Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning standalone missions with no internet..
    hmm no i didnt play them all the way through.. and nope.. didnt create a clone..

  22. Always a way on New SimCity To Require Constant Internet Connection · · Score: 0

    If i can play Diablo 3 Beta stand a lone with no inernet, i am sure I will figure this one out too.. really not that hard to set up a proxy server and set the program to point to home..127.0.0.1..

  23. Wont and hasn't stopped anything on Sony Taking Down PSP Titles In Response To Vita Hackers · · Score: 0

    i mean really now.. google Everybody's Tennis PSP torrent.... now that it is up in the cloud anyone can get it with out paying for it off their store anyways. Not paying + home brew apps and games = happy user. if you have Paid for the expensive unit already.. I will not get a Vita yet.. as their memory card that only works on that unit is the 2nd worst idea had since Sony came out with Beta Max.

  24. dont do that in the first place people! on Microsoft Blocking Pirate Bay Links In Messenger · · Score: 0

    for one.. who sends out full links to a torrent/magnet file anyways? that would have to be the lamest idea around, unless you want to get caught.
    2nd - who using Pirate Bay anymore anyways? not people in the know... so many other better sites to get what you need out there.
    As much as I love Microsoft there is always a way around someone blocking you from what you want to do.

  25. Just in time for the movie! on Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students · · Score: 0

    Sweet! cant wait.. and Harrison Ford too? nice
