  1. Chairs on MPAA Goes After Home Entertainment Systems · · Score: 0
    at least two comfortable chairs


    So, the theatre in my area isn't really a theatre by that definition.

    Could I get away with showing movies on a wall sized screen if I made everyone sit on the floor ?
    What about beanbag chairs, they're only comfortable for a little while, do they count ?
  2. Re:I don't get it... on Growing Problems With Electronics Waste · · Score: 0

    It's like growing vegetables with cow manure, all part of the cycle.

  3. Compass on Mystery of Ancient Calculator Finally Cracked · · Score: 0

    1) Astrological & Calendar functions
    2) Found on a shipwreck

    I get the feeling it was just a complicated compass.

  6. Good Old Gramps on The Wii Disassembled · · Score: 1

    If gramps was still around to day, he'd slap me upside the head & say "There boy, let's see your fancy video game console do that !".

    Then I'd wait untill he went to sleep and superglue the controller to the side of his head.

    The universe as we know it might implode.

    Perhaps, but not in the sense I believe you're thinking of.
    You see, I payed alot of money for this State Of The Art Plasma TV, actually, I'll be paying for it about the same length of time I'll be paying for my house when you figure in intrest & fees.
    So yes, if you put it in the microwave, the universe as you know it, will cease to exist, aka, implode. :)

    I was taken to another site where it said I had to order a plasma screen TV just to watch the vid

    Well, we can't have you watching such entertaining videos on some inferior non-plasma tv now can we ?
    Come on, this is Super Heated Plasma Fireballs we're talking about here, it's only fitting that they're watched on a vision re-production device capable of understanding the concept of Plasma, isn't it ?
    Being a member of Slashdot, I expect you to be rather smart, hell, I bet you're A Nuke-u-lar Scientist, am I right ?
    Well then, you more than most should understand that a screen capable of using Plasma, will be best for reproducing the effects of the video.
    Do you remember early TV sets & the snow effect ?
    Of course you do, what if I told you that if you buy this TV, you wouldn't even need to get that video ? You could just turn this puppy on & stare at the screen, BAM, instant Plasma video & you didn't even have to waste your time downloading a video off the internet.

    So, will that be Visa or Mastercard ?
  12. Open Box on Rootkit Could Hide In PCI Cards · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why I don't buy "Open Box" or "Returned" items.

  13. Wow on Man Used MP3 Player To Hack Cash Machines · · Score: 1

    I'm suprized nobody ever noticed this guy rigging the back of the ATMs.

  24. Re:They can only take soo much on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    Also risking loosing his partner if the wind caught the pepperspray or the suspect jerked while his the officers hand was spraying it.

    Punching the guy in the face was the only thing he could do, apparently the guy was shocked that he just got punched in the face by a cop & kept resisting, so the officer reminded him, "yes I just punched you in the face, if you stop resisting I'll quit doing it".

  25. Re:They can only take soo much on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1
    Repeatedly punching someone in the face is not normal police procedure.

    What do you propose he should have done ?
    Let go of the suspect so he could grab his pepper spray ?

    Too many people give theese guys a hard time for trying to defend themselves.
