  1. Age on 15-Year-Old Student Discovers New Pulsar · · Score: 1

    So is the story about a new pulsar or the kid? I find the former more interesting.

    I have always been annoyed by these headlines. I guess there's quite a bit more traffic if something mundane is sensationalized with the age of the person. It seems to work best if they're a minor or elder.

    Oh well. Congratulations, kiddo!

  2. Say Cheese and Die! on China To Photograph All Internet Cafe Customers · · Score: 1

    I noticed that 'saycheese' was one of the tags.

    It should be Say Cheese and Die! instead.

    :-D

  3. Most Confusing Headline Ever on Jason Fried On Focus and Avoiding Interruptions · · Score: 1

    I thought Gordon Ramsay fell off his rocker and fried someone for interrupting him.

  4. Sold! on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    ...and it's possible to download games and keep them on the DSi.

    I'm buying one.

  5. Re:Interesting but how useful, really? on Reducing Boot Time On a General Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    Are you serious?

    Read: laptops

  6. Re:Windows Steam on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    Notice that all but the last of your examples is F/OSS.

    It wouldn't be a package manager.

    Something as trivial and open as a package manager can't exist on a proprietary platform. At least not in the spirit of the examples you gave.

    It would need to be the same DRM-encumbered crap that Microsoft (and Steam) is infamous for.

  7. Windows Steam on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    They should remove Internet Explorer and include something along the lines of Steam.

    That would solve the, "not being able to download a web browser without a web browser," problem.

    And it would drive traffic to their site. But they'd have to play nice and allow Mozilla and other F/OSS to get on the list.

  8. Mmmm. Beer. on Ancient Yeast Used To Brew Modern Beer · · Score: 2, Funny

    I feel a great disturbance in the Keg. As if millions of ancient yeast suddenly produced vast amounts of alcohol, and were suddenly consumed. I fear something terrible has happened.

    *burp*

  9. Re:Taikonauts? on China To Snap 4 Space Ships Into a Station · · Score: 1

    Brilliant! The loudest I've laughed all day.

    Please moderate the parent up!

  10. One problem... on One In Five Employers Scan Applicants' Web Lives · · Score: 1

    People on the internet have no lives!

    Oh. Hello, Slashdot.

  11. Re:Not supposed to be dooms day yet. on LHC Flips On Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I recognize it from The Fifth Element.

  12. Re: "Water Bears" First Animals to Survive Trip In on "Water Bears" First Animals to Survive Trip Into Space Naked · · Score: 1

    ...to survive the vacuum of space.

    A bit different, wouldn't you agree?

  13. Re:I've seen that happen on Google To Digitize Millions of Old Newspaper Pages · · Score: 1

    The people that freak me out are Young Conservatives. Those guys are creepy.

    I don't mean to troll, but...

    I agree. Brainwashed children are creepy.

  14. Re:I just summoned some 'memories' on Brain Cells Observed Summoning a Memory · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For me, it's not depressing at all.

    I didn't come into existence until 1986. For billions of years, I wasn't the least bit upset about it.

    In other words, if "life" after death is the same as "life" before life, then there is little I have to worry about.

  15. Re:repeat after me on Buffy MMO Announced, Firefly MMO Delayed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As in, thirty year old men who behave like thirteen year olds.

    Go to 4chan. There's tons of them. You'll see.

  16. Ouch! on New Evidence Debunks "Stupid" Neanderthal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...possibly be a major blow to a scientific consensus...

    Or a major contribution?

  17. I'll Do It on Carbon-Neutral Ziggurat Could House 1.1 Million In Dubai · · Score: 1

    are people willing to live in a mega building

    Sure. Who wants to join me?

    This sounds like an intentional community.

  18. Garage Sale on Using RFID Tags Around the House? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Have a garage sale, and get rid of everything you don't need.

    If you're losing items in messy closets or bedrooms, then you probably need to clean up the clutter. That or you own way too many valuable possessions that may be stolen or permanently lost. Live simple.

    I live in a small, energy-efficient home. I own exactly what I need and no more. I have a computer, a desk, a chair, books, an acoustic guitar, a bike, and a couch. And that's about it.

    All of my cookware and utensils stay in the kitchen and never leave. Cleaning supplies stay in a closet. My toothbrush in the medicine cabinet.

    I never lose a thing. Ever.

  19. Interface on Blender 2.46 Released · · Score: 1

    1...2...3...Go!

    Complaints about the interface shall commence.

    Again...

  20. Re:Send them to me. on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I had the same idea. I could get a tremendous amount of educational use out of one.

    I'll pay shipping and them some!

    I'd like to know how you came across so many.

  21. Worth on 10 Great Snake-Oil Gadgets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A product is worth exactly what it's purchaser will pay for it.
