  1. Bored engineers in the future? on DNA Origami · · Score: 1

    Will the future of geek culture be like this? Instead of bored microelectrical engineers making silicon art, will DNA nano-engineers be making DNA art? :)

  2. Oh, that kind of kit bot... on The Mythbusters Construct a Kit Bot · · Score: 1

    For a second, I thought that was an FRC kit bot.

    It's a basic robot for the FIRST Robotics Competition, made from a kit from IFI Robotics. IFI also does the backstage work for the Vex robotics stuff. FRC kits are sorta like Vex except with beefier motors and on a larger scale. Too bad the sensors in FRC kits are pretty lame (e.g. the kit has hall effect sensors, but no nice shaft encoders).

    Here's a beautiful FRC robot from team 254 (a Californian team that builds awesome robots): http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img/241/24126b018 bfb5d68129376fb53b2b474_m.jpg
  3. Adult Content on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    If you check the site settings for the Google Pages management page, there's a checkbox for "Adult Content". What could this do for porn distribution? I, for one, welcome our new Google porn overlords.

  4. Re:Future of free version? on Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner · · Score: 1

    Speaking of the free version, many Slashdotters often write about "voting with your wallet" for technology. Now that the ad-less Opera is free to download, how can Opera fans continue to vote with their wallets for Opera's cause?

  5. So... on Google Opens U.K. Cybercafe and Testing Lab · · Score: 1

    Is she one of the new applications for "physical testing" too? I mean, it'd fit in with their goals for more wireless technology development.

  6. Re:oh lord! on Scientists Produce Fearless Mice · · Score: 3, Funny

    See, it was all as Douglas Adams predicted. This proves that mice really are pan-dimensional super soldiers waiting to be triggered. I, for one, welcome our new fearless rodent overlords!
