  1. Re:They are NOT hurting for funding on EA Shuts Down Pandemic Studios, Cuts 200 Jobs · · Score: 1

    This makes sense. EA is strapped for cash.

    Also, a Spore movie. And I think they're making one for Dead Space and maybe The Sims.

  2. Priorities? on Microsoft Windows 7 "Wishlist" Leaked · · Score: 1

    "Freely Open-Up UXThemes.dll allowing users to apply their own Visual Styles to Windows"
    "Extend Windows Update to cover 3rd party application updates and 3rd party driver updates"

    It looks like their actually gonna do things right this time!

    "Include Pinball into next version of Windows"

    ...nvm

  3. Re:Misleading Title on Star Trek Shields Now a Possibility? · · Score: 1

    Too bad. It'd be really cool to run around in something with shields up, see an occasional flare up when something hits it.

    Then that would be a force-field. Shields don't physically block stuff.
  4. Like Tesla! on Wireless Power Now A Reality · · Score: 1

    The Tesla coil can do this too. It didn't work the same and It was just a lot more dangerous, but I say that the guys who said, "If you had asked me seven months ago if this was possible, I would have said, 'Are you dreaming?", didn't do their homework. Its very possible, not realistic, but possible!

  5. It's not all bad! on The Pirated Software Problem in the 3rd World · · Score: 0

    In the Philippines piracy is rampant. You can buy all sorts of software in the basements of malls for less than $2 a disk. And I know the Philippines isn't exactly 3rd world, but some parts are pretty close. And piracy has affected those area's in a good way. For example, in Davao, people had started using pirated software and it wouldn't be long till it ended up like the capital city, Manila, where piracy is so rampant it's impossible to stop. So the police started ending piracy early in Davao, and because of that, people were unable to buy a genuine version of windows (much less a mac), so some of them started using Linux!

  6. Here's why! on Microsoft Plugs a Record 26 Security Holes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Microsoft went to a hacker convention a little while back to find out what they had to fix.

  7. Shape-Shifting WHAT on The Pentagon's Supersonic, Shape-Shifting Assassin · · Score: 0
    Looking at the slashdot rss feed i look at the top headline
    "The Pentagon's Supersonic, Shape-Shifting Ass..."
    Wow that is a big step forward for american's good job!
  8. Re:and we liked it on CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man · · Score: 0

    "in both directions!" which is clearly impossible.

    thats not imposible, he just lived on a small and very active continental plate

  9. I dont need napster... on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 0

  10. Guess what... on New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified · · Score: 0

    they also found it holding a comb!

  11. My school has this issue as well on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 1, Interesting

    At my school several students were punnished because their blogs contained insulting comments about teachers and other students. Many on the bloggers were suspended, and one of them (who was to become the student council president) lost his role in student council!

  12. wutabout the gamers on Hot Tech Skills For 2006? · · Score: 0

  13. :P on Car Paint Changes With Temperature · · Score: 0

    i had a little toy car about 5 years ago that would do that ... if you put it in ice water it would turn blue, and when you took it out and warmed it up it would go back to bright green ...
