  1. Re:In soviet Russia on Search For RMS Titanic Was a Cover Story · · Score: 1

    How could a Russian Reversal joke be modded offtopic, specially on an article about cold war?

  2. Re:Eh (MOD FUNNY!) on Inside the TRS-80 Model 100 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    HA HA! Fantastic! I wish I had mod points...

  3. Re:Dude. on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    [...] but saying file sharing is a subset of freedom of speech seems like a stretch.

    And so is calling copyright infringement "theft", isn't it?

  4. Re:DOS on Getting Past "Ready For the Desktop" · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing Windows is so friendly and intuitive to use. Why would anyone want to edit text file configs in Linux when they can just locate the key "jknb31r289cjk1289" and change it (obviously) to "9889cfjk12q9fcvfd"

    Why would one do this if they can just format the hard drive, install all the software again and recover backups? That's much more productive!

  5. Doesn't that also apply to taller people? on Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No, I didn't read the article. But if that applies to taller people too, I'm happy for being just 1.66m (5'5" for americans) tall!

  6. Re:Ancient libraries on Have You Changed Your Opinion On eBook Readers? · · Score: 1

    Karen Carr, Dept. of History
    Portland State University


    A woman here? And not related to the computer industry? I call foul. (Although, her point is interesting!)

  7. Re:Find an old system on Retrieving Data From Old Amstrad Floppies? · · Score: 1

    He said he did some programming in 1987. That doesn't mean he's actually a programmer now.

    I am pretty sure he is a programmer nowadays. If he was into programmer as a tenager in 1987 AND he wants to recover what he programmed, he can only be a geek. He is a Slashdotter, for Pete's sake!

  8. Re:Where does the energy come from? on First Town In US To Become 100% Wind Powered · · Score: 1

    The parent post was brought to you by "Things Kids Say"! Applause!

  9. Re:argg.. I couldn't help it...its obligatory... on Earth May Once Have Had Multiple Moons · · Score: 1

    "Dinosaur civilization"?!?!?! o_O Woot!

  10. Re:Stop turning food into fuel on Consumer Ethanol Appliance Promised By Year's End · · Score: 1

    You just forgot to mention that Brazil has been making ethanol from sugar cane since the 70's and it hasn't affect the price or availability of food. At least not more than other problems, like inflation, droughts or speculation.

  11. Re:I love Uwe on Blizzard to Boll - DENIED! · · Score: 1

    (With apologies to Voltaire)

    AND God.

  12. Now the NEW most important question... on Extreme Linux Server Available to North America · · Score: 3, Funny

    But will it run Vista?

  13. Re:Speaking of Google Maps... Argentina? on Google Earth 4.3 Offers a Number of New Features · · Score: 1

    Does anyone reading this know what's going on?

    Lobby from Brazil.

  14. Re:perhaps I'm missing something on DHS to Begin Collecting DNA of Anyone Arrested · · Score: 1

    A few years ago here in my country there was a case of a woman who was accused to kidnapp two babies and register them as her legit kids. Well, about 20 years later the story came out, she was arrested, but since the kidnapped babies saw her as a mother, they defended her. One of them, during reporting to the police chief smoked two cigarettes and refused to provide a blood sample for a DNA test. The police then managed to get her DNA sample for the saliva left in the cigarettes' butts and proved she wasn't legit. They didn't have to stick a needle in her.

  15. Re:We still know nothing about how they sounded on Computers Emulate Neanderthal Speech · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Le Ugh on Computers Emulate Neanderthal Speech · · Score: 1

    The ones in France would say "le ugh" for masculine and "la ughe" for feminine. The ones in Spain would say "el ugho" for masculine and "la ugha" for feminine. And the ones in Portugal would say "o ugho" for masculine and both "a ugha" and "a ughe" for feminine.

    (DISCLAIMER: I'm fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and I've studied French for about a year.)

  17. Re:yeah... just install XP on First Full Review of New Asus Eee PC 900 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And... is that allowed by the EULA? (No, I haven't read it)

  18. Re:It's cool on Building a 5-Ton Calculator From 19th-Century Plans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Even being modded funny, an emulator would be very interesting as an "educational tool" about how the machine works.

  19. Re:Who cares? on African Americans and the Video Game Industry · · Score: 1

    From now on I want to be called "European-South-American". Thanks.

  20. Re:I'll... on The Death of the Silicon Computer Chip · · Score: 3, Funny

    There, I fixed that for you.

  21. Re:It has begun... on Safari 3.1 For Windows Violates Its Own EULA, Vulnerable To Hacks · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You don't have to buy a computer either...

    (Now I get modded "-1 troll" or "-1 flamebait", even using the same logic as the parent post)

  22. Re:Dual purpose? on A Super-Efficient Light Bulb · · Score: 2, Informative

    With an operating temperature of 6000k how many do I need to heat my house?

    That won't work, because the temperature it reaches has nothing to do with the amount of heat it emmits. Besides, if it's almost 10 times as efficient as ordinary bulbs, you would have 10 times as much light to get the same heat. You would get warm, but I doubt you would able to sleep with that much light.

  23. Re:He was really a futurist... on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Who is it that we have to thank?

    Al Gore, of course! After all, he invented the internet, remember?

  24. He was really a futurist... on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... he even died tomorrow!

    The article states he died on wednesday, but it's still tuesday!
    (I know, I know... it's due to the time zones...)

  25. That is Douglas Adam's fault! on UK Reconsiders 1986 Decision To Ban Astronauts · · Score: 1

    After reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the British Space Agency came to conclusion that it's too dangerous to send an english person to the space.
