  1. Re:Yes on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    and they would be very handy for the AOL chat rooms!

  2. Re:Why is this news... on RIAA Wants Its $222,000 Verdict Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, lawyers are barred from having sex with their clients. It's regarded as double-billing.

  3. Money Shot on A Robot To Destroy Breast Cancer Cells · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suppose the robot injection to kill the tumor/cancer will be regarded as the money shot?

  4. Re:3.0? on Open Office Plans To Party Like It's Version 3.0 · · Score: 1

    ... or start caring about software that allows you to get the job done. Then go home.

  5. Digital success rate as an indicator of future ... on Why Starting a Legal Online Music Vendor Is Tough · · Score: 1

    With the success rate of the officially sanctioned sites and plain "not getting it" of the music companies, it's a wonder that the traditional music industry is still in business!

  6. Re:so on Adam Savage Revises Claim of Lawyer-Bullying On RFID Show · · Score: 1

    Dad? Is that you?

  7. Re:Sharing passwords on 42% of Web Users Sneak Onto Others' Online Accounts · · Score: 1

    And Bond did manage to get in to Miss Moneypenny's lap .... oh, nevermind.

  8. The Wikipedia answer on Programmer's File Editor With Change Tracking? · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia has a compare versions function. And it's free. :-)

  9. Re:Who knew? on First Image of Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it when they put the engine in the front of the ship.

  10. Re:Self created problem? on Storm and the Future of Social Engineering · · Score: 1

    Got through to a tech chicky on the phone number. She didn't even know what Slashdot was. What on earth is the world coming to? (sobs)

  11. The real pets.com problem on The Greatest Defunct Websites and Dotcom Disasters · · Score: 1

    The real pets.com problem was despite 'everyone' needing pet food and the ability to sell cheaper from a bulk warehouse, pet food is heavy and thus the individual freight costs became the killer.

  12. Re:I don't get it on The Greatest Defunct Websites and Dotcom Disasters · · Score: 1

    It's more likely to be our inability to "unsee" something.

  13. Aussie nickname on Inside the TRS-80 Model 100 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In Australia, we gave it the local name of "Trash 80". No idea why.

  14. Re:justballs.com on '90s Dot-Coms — Where Are They Now? · · Score: 1

    Too late. Slashdotted.

  15. Re:Respect on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    AC has a good point. Please mod parent up.

  16. Re:Message to people who gripe about interfaces on Microsoft Reaches Out To Blender · · Score: 1

    My mother has TWO nipples, you insensitive sod!

  17. Bandwidth Conservation Society on Homer Simpson Drawn With Web 2.0-Style ASCII Art · · Score: 1

    That's it. I'm going to have to report this guy to the http://www.blackpearlcomputing.com/bpc/Bandwidth_stuff/default.htmlBandwidth Conservation Society.

    Now get off my lawn!

  18. Re:Welcome to zombo com. on The Curious Histories of Generic Domain Names · · Score: 1

    You can do *anything* with Zombo.com

  19. The RAM limitation when it comes to cores on The Economics of Chips With Many Cores · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With regards to multi-core processors in conjunction with video editing work, we've discovered that it's a waste of money having two x quad core processors on a motherboard.

    Given that you need about 1GB of RAM to make efficient use of a core, a maximum of 4GB on a Win32 machine means that you're only going to use 4 cores properly at most. Anything else has been a waste of money.

  20. network-solutions-stole-this-domain.com on NSI Registers Every Domain Checked · · Score: 1
  21. Re:If you're in the right place you can help on Scientists Fly to 2008's Most Dazzling Meteor Shower · · Score: 1

    Nice photo. Pity about the scratch, though.

  22. Dismantling of ID card schemes on Australia Scraps National ID Plan · · Score: 1

    I believe that England had an ID card scheme during the World wars 1 and 2, but dismantled it afterwards. There must be some compelling reasons for them to do this rather than keep maintaining a system that was already in place.

    Does anyone know why the decision was made or what the shortcomings were? If we could learn from their experience than it may just help us to not be repeating their mistakes.

  23. Re:Making me proud to be an australian again on Australia Scraps National ID Plan · · Score: 1

    I think the reason why Howard refused to go along with this "sorry" business is that he foresaw the "you now need to compensate us with lotsa money" business that is now following. Initial media reports are that a billion dollars is not quite enough.

  24. Re:$208,569 on Afterlife Will Be Costly For Digital Films · · Score: 1

    All you really need is about 200 GMail accounts. Easy!

  25. The most important thing ... on Stem Cell Lines Derived to Avoid Immune Rejection · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... to remember when it comes to stem cells is that all the medical successes to date are from adult stem cells (from bone marrow etc) and not embryonic sources. Despite the spin presented to the media and politicians, there have been NO medical breakthroughs with embyonic stem cells.

    Adult stem cells for treatment can be harvested in a timely manner from your own body and hence negate the issue of possible rejection. (And nobodys kid cops it, either!)
