  1. Re:What, no Beowulf Cluster joke? on Intercontinental Mind-Meld Unites Two Rats · · Score: 2

    Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!

    A Beowulf Cluster of cheese?

  2. Re:Please tell me it wont be an accurate replica.. on Plans Unveiled For Full Scale Replica of the Titanic · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't worry, global warming took care of this one!

  3. Dilation on Plans Unveiled For Full Scale Replica of the Titanic · · Score: 1

    The Titanic II will be built 883 feet long – 3 inches longer than the original Titanic

    At what temperature? A ship this big could not dilate more than 3 inches if the temperature increases?
    (I just thought this size difference detail might be pointless...)

  4. I don't believe this is true... on You Can Navigate Between Any Two Websites In 19 Clicks Or Fewer · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Simple: Change name of the programming language on Python Trademark At Risk In Europe · · Score: 2

    Or "TheProgrammingLanguageFormelyKnownAsPython".

  6. Re:Check out the view with the eye on First Bionic Eye Gets FDA Blessing · · Score: 2

    Slashdot should have a "+1 Troll" mod for this... :-)

  7. I have a better name for that... on UK Researchers Build Micron LED Light Based Wireless Network · · Score: 3, Funny

    If this system sends data with light, but through the air, I would call it "fiberless".

  8. Re:Isn't banning unlocking anti-competitive ? on What You Need To Know About Phone Unlocking · · Score: 1

    And if I'm not mistaken, they can sell you a subsidized phone, but lock you in a contract. If you decide to break the contract, you have to return them the subsidy, or a proportional part of it. This is the most fair model I can imagine.

  9. Re:Tinnitus Sufferer Here on Making Earbuds That Fit (Video) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Tinnitus has a lot of causes. I had my ears tested for the constant hiss I hear in my left ear. After having my ears tested, we discarded the usual suspects (like a tumor in the auditory nerve or lesions in the internal ear), the doctor said that there are over 200 possible causes for tinnitus. The most common apart the ones I already told are: insuline peaks (caused by not eating for too long and then eating a lot of carbs), and teeth grinding. In my case is a combination of these two last ones. Besides grinding teeth while sleeping, I feel the urge of being biting something all the time (stress-related). When you bite with too much strenght, you press the auditory nerve, causing the hiss.

    Earbuds are not always your enemies.

  10. Re:Can we have real USB SSDs? on Kingston Introduces 1TB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    I don't know how much memory the complete mapping of dino's DNA take, but for human genome, you need about 750 megabytes, uncompressed.

  11. See C? on C Beats Java As Number One Language According To TIOBE Index · · Score: 1

    A friend told me to see beyond C. I misheard him and instead rented a DVD of Beyoncé...

  12. Re:And nothing of value was lost on Why Do You Want To Kill My Pet? Zynga Shuts Down PetVille, 10 Others · · Score: 1

    World of Warcraft is profitable, the monthly fee covers a player's activity costs with a profit. If/when they shut WoW down, there will probably be just a half dozen active paying players.

    I believe that what we witness here is a "free to play bubble about to burst".

  13. The spider made itself a mecha! on Spider Discovered That Builds Its Own Spider Decoys · · Score: 0

    Why can't we have mechas too?

  14. I other news... on Text Message Spammer Wants FCC To Declare Spam Filters Illegal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Assassins Guild wants bullet-proof vests to be declared illegal.

  15. Re:Sticking out ports on ModMyPi Raspberry Pi Case Offers 5% Back To the Foundation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    [...] 3D printing is so cheap [...]

    *NOW* it feels like the 21st century! Finally!

  16. Re:Don't care until it is on Netflix on New Doctor Who Companion Announced · · Score: 1

    True that. I managed to make my wife interested in Star Trek with Voyager. Specially because of the female captain. She still does a hell of Janeway's "engage" impersonation!!! :-)

  17. Re:Don't care until it is on Netflix on New Doctor Who Companion Announced · · Score: 1

    Currently, I am watching "The Doctor", and "Emilia Pond"

    I'm still on "Rose Tyler" stage, you insensitive clod!

  18. Re:Like War on All Video Games Cause Aggressive Behavior, Say Two US Congressmen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wish Slashdot had a "-1 moron" mod.

  19. Re:FIre the Ion Cannon on Cheap Solar Panels Made With An Ion Cannon · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Worf a lieutenant at Enterprise and promoted to lieutenant commander when transferred to DS9?

  20. Re:where is there test server? on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 1

    (I know you are just making a point and I'm in risk of being "wooshed", but here it goes anyway...)

    Did they change the speed of light while I was not looking?

  21. Does it sound like GLaDOS? on Kinect Grocery Cart Follows Shoppers Around the Store · · Score: 1

    Or is it just me?

  22. Re:No one see's a problem with this? on US Military Working On 'Optionally-Manned' Bomber · · Score: 1

    The people that hacked the PS3 had actual access to the hardware and most of its technology isn't classified. I believe it made the hacking easier.

  23. Re:Caffeine on Optimizing Your Caffeine Intake With an App · · Score: 1

    I am not addicted. I can stop whenever I want.

  24. Re:Depressing on Hungary's Needy Given Money to Burn · · Score: 2

    They are not "burning money", they are "burning bills". Ask an economist the difference.

  25. Was it hacking? on Hacked Syrian Officials Used '12345' As Email Password · · Score: 1

    Can you call the access to an account which password is "12345" hacking? To make an analogy, can you call yourself a lock-picker if you open an unlocked door?
