  1. That's some strange math... on The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Since when is 7 hours even close to "a whole day"? Maybe you meant "almost a whole business day"?

  2. You mean Vista is slow!? on One Third of New PCs Downgraded To XP? · · Score: 1

    So... a number that's a guess is the only news-worthy item here? Sweet.

  3. Hope you've got a big ramp... on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's a hell of a shark you're trying to jump.

  4. Like fake boobs... on Duke Nukem Forever Preview On Jace Hall Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I can play with em, they're real. I can't play DNF, so it's not.

  5. Re:Uhhhhh... Okay on A Guardian Angel In Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think the intent is to have the cellphone call someone/alert someone else when it detects the heart has stopped beating. It doesn't say 'alert user when his/her heart stops'.

  6. Re:Still a long way to go on Stealth Paint From German Inventor Werner Nickel · · Score: 4, Funny

    LSD in the dessert? Far out man, I'll take another brownie please

  7. This will never work.... on Uwe Boll To Quit Making Movies With 1M Signatures · · Score: 1

    Uwe Boll's wobble, but they don't fall down.

  8. Re:An easier solution... on Using Tire Pressure Sensors To Spy On Cars · · Score: 1

    At least on my Subaru, it is clear and is easily removable. The sensor is part of the valve stem.

  9. Re:RFID tracking on Using Tire Pressure Sensors To Spy On Cars · · Score: 1

    My car didn't 'come with' a license plate, I had to pay for it afterwards and screw it on myself. I can just as easily unscrew it.

  10. An easier solution... on Using Tire Pressure Sensors To Spy On Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remove the sensors and ignore the warning light. It's how I do things when I've got the winter wheels on, because I didn't feel like spending $400 for another set of sensors.

  11. Re:Windows....Mac.....? on DVD Jon Creates DRM Killer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let's see... might it be because there is no iTunes binary for linux?

  12. obviously... on Why Web Pirates Can't Be Touched · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...it's because they all listen to MC Hammer. Without DRM, of course.

  13. Re:Interviews on Star Wars, the Lost Interviews · · Score: 0, Redundant

    These are not the interviews I'm looking for. Move along.

  14. Re:V says... on George Orwell Was Right — Security Cameras Get an Upgrade · · Score: 5, Informative

    Good movie, but credit where it's due, they're paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson. "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. "

  15. Hmm... on Origin of Quake3's Fast InvSqrt() · · Score: 2, Funny

    Suddenly I'm very scared that Ballmer will want to InvSqrt me some pictures of his kids.

  16. Re:NASA weighs moon plans on NASA Weighs Moon Plans · · Score: 1

    Google tells me the moon has a mass of 7.36 × 10^22 kilograms, or a weight of 1.62260225 × 10^23 pounds. Dats a lot o cheese.

  17. Re:Wow on Ext4 Filesystem Enters Experimental Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    I think you misread it... it's petabytes, not paedobytes.

  18. Re:Pre-guilt on The Age of Technological Transparency · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point. There is no criminal or civil case planned, no charges have been filed. The dude made a mistake and resigned, he is not going to court. So this only discussion of 'pre-guilt' is stupid, as no one is trying to determine guilt.

    All we have is the evidence presented and Foley's public remarks. IMNHO, the dude is fucking slimeball beyond all reasonable doubt.

  19. Re:Pre-guilt on The Age of Technological Transparency · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? He's not going to trial, he's admitted what he did. The verdict is in, and he's guilty.

  20. Re:So the price was on Supercomputer to Hit 1.6 Petaflops With 16,000 Cell Chips · · Score: 1

    16,000 Cell processors = 10 million Knowing how to put them all together efficiently = a lot more

  21. Re:Come on, editors on Windows Vista RC1 Impresses Critics · · Score: 1

    C'mon, the editors added an ignorant burn on Microsoft! Isn't that what /. is for?

  22. High school biology on Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins · · Score: 1

    In high school one of our labs involved dropping various substances (alchohol, taurine, caffeine, etc) on the gills of goldfish and watching them swim around afterwords. I felt terrible doing it even though they are just fish, but the teacher assured us they wouldn't have a clue and wouldn't even remember it. LIES!

  23. AYDS on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was overweight and embarrassed to go anyplace. AYDS helped me get back into a size 12.

    Mod me off-topic, I don't care. That video is funny shit.

  24. No, obviously the next betamax... on Are Plasma TVs the Next BetaMax? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...is BluRay.

  25. Things that might happen in a billion years... on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    1) Peace could be achieved in the middle east 2) Oil will no longer be our primary fuel 3) The war on terror will be over None of these qualify as news items. Honestly why does this matter at all?
