  1. Huh, what's open source ? on Microsoft Details FOSS Patent Breaches · · Score: 1

    It must be something if it's got Microsoft on the run.

  2. Re:It's amazing people still use windows. on Windows PowerShell in Action · · Score: 1

    Image Magick tools run fine under windows in a pinch.

  3. Re:Sure there is on Intel Reveals the Future of the CPU-GPU War · · Score: 1

    Nice summary.

  4. Re:dark matter on High Schooler Is Awarded $100,000 For Research · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Dark matter is proven only to be a questionable accounting practice.

    The existence of dark matter is proven only to be a very nice way to invoke feelings of mystery in the hearts of grant application reviewers.

  5. It's already been discussed on Microsoft Interested In More Linux Deals · · Score: 1

    Chances are if the news is out there already, then the discussions are over. Probably MS and RHAT did not come to an agreement.

  6. Re:What about performance of slashdot? on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 1

    So you still bought the product. The product being hot air, the currency is your time.

  7. Code used to improve climate models on Global Warming Debunked? · · Score: 1
    for (i=1;i<i;i++){print "THE SKY IS FALLING"; profit() }

    Works best run remotely, say, from an ivory tower.

  8. beware the many skinned onion on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 1

    Finally, slashdot has moved it's focus into an arena more in line with its true colors - the absurd.

  9. Re:Not to troll, but... on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 1

    is she hot?

  10. Re:Evil on Magnetic Ring Could Launch Satellites, Weapons · · Score: 1
    Your scheme includes an acceleration component due to gravity.

    It would be additive on one side and opposite on the other.
    Thus adding another element of intrigue to the canyon jump.

  11. Re:Nuclear fueled payloads... on Magnetic Ring Could Launch Satellites, Weapons · · Score: 1

    I'd keep quiet, I heard their going to point it at naysayers.

  12. Evil on Magnetic Ring Could Launch Satellites, Weapons · · Score: 1

    Judging from the artists conception, Evil Knievel plans to use it to complete the elusive canyon jump.

  13. I wonder on Invisible Unmanned Aircraft · · Score: 1

    If it's invisible .and. radio controlled, then how do you fly it?

  14. Re:like rain on your wedding day on Group Fights Politicizing Science and Engineering · · Score: 1

    Maybe ironic, but no suprise here. Academia is 90% politics. Politicking by scientists is a disease run rampant. My quantum mechanics lecture was editorially spiced with political statements. I've had peer reviews come back stating: "Well I did not understand the article, but I have the utmost respect for *famous scientist on the author list* so it should be published." I cancel subscriptions to monthly and weekly scientific rags regularly because of politically charged articles. Politics uttered by scientists has no more merit than politics uttered by insane vagrants. Except the scientists shout it with less aplomb.

  15. Re:Skip the elevator - take the Stairs! on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 1

    The bigger problem here is finding computing power to track the states of a system larger than a few molecules.

  16. Sounds great, I hope it runs better than ... on China to Make $125 PCs · · Score: 1

    their motorcycles.

    I wonder if we'll see them in yard sales throughout the Southern States.

    "...with all those eyes, they're crowdin up my human face

    and all those eyes, TAKE AN OVERLOAD"

  18. Re:Feet/Metres/Meters on Supercomputer to Hit 1.6 Petaflops With 16,000 Cell Chips · · Score: 1

    No way that should cause any problems. Unless of course it's NASA and the measurements belong to a Mars orbiter ...

  19. why not just... on Will Solve Captcha for Money? · · Score: 1

    blow up the internet?

  20. Mothering, the necessity of invention? on Teen Creates Device to Track Speeding · · Score: 1

    Goddamn Nurds, always coming up with new ways to get the crap kicked out of them.

  21. no wonder on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    I'm having such a hard time finding someone who wants to groom me and eat my parasites.

  22. Re:Damn...I just lost my dog to cancer. on Contagious Cancer Found in Dogs · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Condolences.

    About the bark park, your dog would not have had it any other way.

    Don't worry because:

    1. Even though you may point to a risky behavior, this does not imply a cause - effect relationship. Many cancer causing agents will always abound in our environment.

    2. I'd choose bark park with a 3/4 life span vs. no fun for a long time and all the other dogs I know agree.

    3. A good chunk of the dog population gets the shaft, stuck on a chain, or in a cage and possibly gassed in their prime.

  23. 10.2 - 10.4 lost space on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 1

    A free program called Space.app ran on 10.2. My addiction to multiple desktops runs deep. It worked flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.4.

  24. Impossible, for we are the mooninites on Has Anyone Seen the Moon Pictures? · · Score: 1

    Commence remooning at once.
