  1. Re:I don't think they are viable on From "Happy Hacking" to "Screw You" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Couldn't just get a bunch of Linksys WRT 54GLs, load OpenWRT, and setup that way?

  2. Re:The old arrogance. on Microsoft Hyper-V Leaves Linux Out In The Cold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Interesting. That's what people said 10 years ago...

  3. Re:If only it would go the other way... on Brain Scanner Can Tell What You're Looking At · · Score: 1

    Probably won't work for the congentially blind though since the visual centers would not have developed when they get to adulthood. The impulses would probably have to be turned into audio or tactile senses instead.

  4. Re:Where have I heard this before on Gates Explains Microsoft's Need for Yahoo · · Score: 0

    You mean that's not how it works???

  5. Re:ALERT: People at SANS, incoming CHAIRS! on Digital Picture Frames Infected by Trojan Viruses · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh well, to all the windows using women out there, remember, the standard rate for getting a guy to help you out is ONE blowjob. Please form an orderly cue.

    Do those sores on your mouth mean anything? No? Carry on then...
  6. Too bad these SSHD aren't really worth it on The ThinkPad Takes On The MacBook Air · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least that's what the people over at ars say

  7. Re:Big deal on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1
    Nice going with the ad hominem. But if you actually read the article, it's written in such a way as to suggest it as a source of fuel:

    Proven reserves of natural gas on Earth total 130 thousand million tons, enough to provide 300 times the amount of energy the entire United States uses annually for residential heating, cooling and lighting. Dozens of Titan's lakes individually have the equivalent of at least this much energy in the form of methane and ethane.
  8. Big deal on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    By the time the cost of technology required to go to Titan falls to a reasonable level, we should have already passed the need to use hydrocarbons as our main source of energy.

  9. Re:Uh. Hardware is not software... on Best Open Source License For Hardware? · · Score: 1

    I'm a little confused. Since you get an actual physical product, wouldn't a patent apply for this particular implementation?

  10. Is this x86/x86_64 only? on Linux Kernel 2.6 Local Root Exploit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The proof-of-concept code only supports x86 and x86_64. Does that mean other architectures are immune?

  11. Re:Considering the the potential energy stores in. on Knee Brace Generates Electricity From Walking · · Score: 1

    A similar thing is going on with anti-smoking campaigns and mandatory seat-belt laws. With less people smoking, there are less people dying earlier of lung-related illnesses. With mandatory seat-belt laws, we're seeing a decrease in the number of viable organs for organ donation.

  12. Extreme living, eh? on Antarctic Expedition To Track Down Extreme Living Creatures · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sounds even more fun than extreme ironing!

  13. Well, I'm glad I use Linux on FBI Sought Approval To Use Spyware Through FISC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And if they target Linux, I'll go to FreeBSD, and so on...

  14. Re:Linux microkernal ... on The Great Microkernel Debate Continues · · Score: 1

    It's not that funny if you have to explain it.

  15. Re:Now that's engineering on Messenger Probe Sends Back Mercury Photos · · Score: 1

    Hehe, just kidding. No one reads these things this far back anyway.

  16. Re:Now that's engineering on Messenger Probe Sends Back Mercury Photos · · Score: 1

    Leave it to PCM2 to reuse the same line from December 20th. This is Slashdot. Didn't you think anyone would remember? On the other hand, given this site's penchant for duping (even on the same day!), I guess not...

  17. Re:How common do you see this being? on Carbon Nanotubes Can Exist Safely Inside the Body, Help Treat Cancer · · Score: 1

    Even if carbon nanotubes are somehow toxic, so are current chemotherapies for certain cancers!

  18. Re:What's the problem, anyway? on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    where have you been for the past 20 years? name one mainstream os where ram and cpu use decreased during the years.

  19. Re:Microkernels are the future on The Great Microkernel Debate Continues · · Score: 1

    while you are quite correct the question becomes why should the CPU handle those instructions?
    cost

  20. Re:Coincidentally... on Snopes Pushing Zango Adware · · Score: 1

    That's not what snopes.com says...

  21. Cyberbullying at its worst on Subpoena Sought For Browsed News Articles · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And the stupid and idiotic thing is? These attacks are being perpetrated by fucking law students! Although maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. You certainly, well I don't see this amoung medical students. I thought libel was illegal?

  22. I like the specs better on Thinkpad X300 Specs Leaked · · Score: 2, Informative

    It even has wired ethernet. But Apple still has the branding that the general populace flock to nowadays.

  23. For those wondering how they died on Two AI Pioneers, Two Bizarre Suicides · · Score: 1

    One always had suicidal thoughts. The other had excruciating back pain.

  24. Better to find it now rather than later... on Design of Next-Gen NASA Rocket Showing Flaws · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...before it's built. Seems like a non-story.

  25. Re:Or better yet on Proposed CA Bill Would Create Domestic Offender Database · · Score: 1

    "OK, so he's drenched in blood and carrying an axe, but he has such lovely eyes!"

    and he's holding a case of Miller Lite!
