  1. Clogged.. on The Third-Party Patching Conundrum · · Score: 2, Funny

    If we put filters on the tubes, they'll just clog up faster.
    I don't know about you, but my e-mails don't travel that well when they're clogged..

  2. Re:shouldn't parent be modded funny, not insightfu on High-Def Disc Interactivity Debuts on HD DVD · · Score: 1

    I agree personally... But hey, I can't hep it if I have deep insight into the slashdot mentality...

  3. Pr0n on High-Def Disc Interactivity Debuts on HD DVD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have a feeling this might actually end up being a main selling point for the disk format...

    After all, doesn't everyone want more intereactivity in their pornography?

  4. Ironically enough... on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 5, Funny

    At the bottom of his article it has an add for:
    'Need a cheap host that can survive the Digg effect?'

    That links to his webhost... Guess it doesn't survive it very well, eh?

  5. Strategy on Tic-Tac-Toe-Playing LEGO Robot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, the only way to defeat an opponent who knows how to play the game is to hope he misses something or to hide your moves from him. On a 3x3 board, it's easy for a microprocessor to be programmed with all possible countermoves.

    Most tic-tac-toe games end in draws, even human-human ones, for that reason.

  6. Malreported.. on Ad-supported Textbooks Are Here · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by 'adjust' and 'new'?
    It's always been that way!

  7. 92% the same.. on Stem Cells Generated From Adult Cells · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mice share around 92% of their DNA code with humans, and much of that is realted to shared functions...
    Why should nature re-invent the wheel?

    Something that works in mice is likely to work in humans as well.

  8. EVE Online on What if Game Graphics Never Aged? · · Score: 1

    A cool Icelandic company, CCP, has created a game that exemplifies your concept.
    EVE Online takes a basic set of concepts (space, ships, weapons, mining, market), and allows the player to expand on it. Al most all of the "News" ingame is player-related, and things such as espionage, trickery, and invention are allowed and even encouraged in the world. There are no classes, no limits on what a character can be/can't be.

  9. Re:I'm waiting... on Spam Detection Using an Artificial Immune System · · Score: 1

    You won't have to wait long, nay, you won't have to wait at all.

    There have been e-mail "virii" around for a long time, one of the most famous being the Bill Gates Quick Cash. Don't think that all viruses require an attachment.

  10. But it has a cascadng effect... on Kent State Banning Athletes from Using Facebook · · Score: 1

    If removing them from the team cuts off their scholarship (effectively elminating the ability of many to afford that school), couldn't a case be made that kicking them off the team is the same as not allowing them an education?
    IANAL, though. Feel free to correct me.

  11. UMass has one in progress.. on World Class Nanotechnology Research Center Opens · · Score: 2, Informative

    The University of Massachusetts in Lowell is building a new $23 million dollar nanotechnology center, with area for corporations to rent for use as assembly systems:

  12. Small Motions on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 1

    That's also true... If you had to make large movements like that. In reality, you can rest your hands/arms on your legs and use small motions (exlcuding games like WarioWare).

  13. Mod above funny. on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 1

    Not informative....
    It was comparing the orginal windows version on both OSs....

  14. To play the Devil's Advocate on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.handsoff.org/ is the website for the supporters of Net Neutrality.

    Personally, I prefer SaveTheInternet. But you can't really understand your own position without knowing your opponent's.

  15. Re:All things considered on Nintendo Announces Japanese Wii Price · · Score: 2

    I think you LOST me there....

  16. Re:Correct me if i'm wrong... on Voyager 2 Detects Peculiar Solar System Edge · · Score: 1

    No silly, it's the elephants making that bulge, not the turtle.
    The elephants stand on the turtle's back.

  17. And call the Hubble replacement... on NASA Seeking Innovative Ideas from Public · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...the "Sii"

  18. DVD Functionality on Resident Evil, Game On With Wii · · Score: 1

    "There will be a small internal attchment for DVD playback."

    And that's all we know.

  19. It's just you. on The Public's First Look at Wii · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I believe you were the only one.

    (Excluding me, of course)

  20. Tickets!?!???! on Vendor Pays OSS Developers for Enterprise Support · · Score: 2, Funny

    Once Chuck E. Cheese starts stocking computer parts, I'll be debugging like crazy.

  21. Re:The unsinkable Kernel on Microkernel: The Comeback? · · Score: 1

    Very likely they ddin't have training for that contingency.
    The ship was unsinkable, after all..

  22. Re:Incorrect Title on Evolution of a 100% Free Software-Based Publisher · · Score: 1

    No, it's the Free-Software-Based Flying Book Monster... Duh!

  23. Before or after? on X-Prize Lunar Lander Competition a Go · · Score: 1

    Does the 90 seconds in the air have to be before it blows up^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H possibly experiences capsule divergence issues?

  24. Frisbees? I them in the mail... on Video Games and the Hi-Def Format Wars · · Score: 2, Funny

    You'll have to see which side AOL is on.

  25. Ctrl+Alt+Del on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    I think Ctrl+Alt+Del has a better outlook on it...:
