  1. I'm a smart man... on Quantum Trickery - Einstein's Strangest Theory · · Score: 1

    but even I am confused by this. Clockwise and counterclockwise - YIKES ;)

  2. Hah on ISP Restrictions Based on Hardware/Software? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The real question is, is the open source community against it?

  3. Awesome! on Linux Troubleshooting · · Score: 5, Informative

    A free electronic version is available for download - thats sweet :)

  4. Ah... on More 2005 Gaming Than You Really Want · · Score: 0

    I was waiting for this slashvertisement *runs out and buys a bunch of games from IGN*

  5. Rats vs. Humans on Fantastic Voyage Into the Heart · · Score: 1

    Yes, but only about 1 in 10 of these types of things are tested on humans, and about 1 in 50 of those are ever approved for human use. Still neat though!

  6. V 5.13 on ATI Video Processing Upgrade · · Score: 1, Informative

    Is actually a fairly minor change... the next version should be a FULL update.

  7. Is it the 90s again... on Microsoft Wins Hyperlink TV Pause Battle · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought I read that Microsoft won something. It has been a long, long time since they've won anything... contracts, legal disputes, customer trust.

  8. HAH on HD DVD Player Delays in Japan · · Score: 1

    Lack of DRM? Impossible, this is 2005...

  9. Let's talk Math on DirectTV to Pay $5.4M in Privacy Fines · · Score: 1

    $5.4 mil fine
    divided by 1.4 mil complaints
    times ratio of people who complain ~1/100
    equals $.035 = 35 cents per call! They're still making money calling "do not call" people!!!

  10. Big Brother Space Edition... on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 3, Funny

    So how long before other reality TV shows start happening in space? I can see it now, people being voted off the space station every week...

  11. "Micro-amount" on Alexa Web Search Platform Released · · Score: 1

    There is something about that word that just bothers me... maybe it is all the porn sites out there who advertise their "micro" monthly cost.

  12. Re:FOREHEAD BILLBOARDS??? on The Year in Ideas · · Score: 1

    I'd permanently attach a third arm to my body that held a Linux Online Poker sign if I could... On second thought...

  13. FOREHEAD BILLBOARDS??? on The Year in Ideas · · Score: 2, Funny

    How the heck is tattooing GoldenPalace.com on your forehead for $25,000 a great idea??????? I'd need atleast $50K lol...

  14. Bill Nye... on DIY LCD Backlight Repair · · Score: 1

    It would have been MUCH cooler if they didn't state the Bill Nye in question was not the Bill Nye that science guy. None the less, this is one of the most helpful articles I've seen on /. Ebay here I come!

  15. Donald Gates... on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    He'll see you the rope to hang him with if it'll make him an extra $1.

  16. Hah on Zero-Gravity Sports League In Development · · Score: 1

    Looks like polo and fox hunting is being replaced as the choice sport of the world's rich

  17. OH NO on MPAA Gives Film About Ratings an NC-17 Rating · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now that the film is rated 17+ all America's 13 year-olds are going to download it and watch it behind their parents back...

  18. RSSS* on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 0, Troll

    The extra s stands for suckss*

    That extra s is a typo

  19. Well... on How Long is Too Long to Update? · · Score: 1

    we need a guineau pig to find out for us... oh wait, er... tell us when YOU find out :P

  20. Re:Possible Reason on Russian Kliper not Funded by ESA · · Score: 1

    "would have too high a chance of success" Kliper has already had MORE success than CEV we just don't hear about it in the West :P

  21. Woohoo on Reduce Transistor Power Consumption · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This may not sound like that big a deal, but let me assure you this is very significant to wireless infrastructure enhancement. One of the biggest limiting factors in wireless devices is power consumptions, so this is great news for the industry!

  22. Wishy-washy on Patents and User Protection In OSS · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wait, is /. for protecting intellectual property or against it, I'm confused!

  23. Meh on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'll get excited when you can download episodes of Lost :P

  24. Simple Reason on Security's Shaky State · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The IT Security department does more preventative solutions then anything else... so basically, if you don't hear booh about them, it's a good thing. Essentially, the better the job they do, the less the management of a company realizes they are important. "Oh, well we haven't gotten hacked in 3 years... we can afford to cut our security department budget this quarter".

  25. Re:Future Growth? on Talking With Debian's Branden Robinson · · Score: 1

    I'm simply saying I believe their resources would be better used elsewhere.
