  1. Re:Slashdot trolled on Controlled Quantum Levitation Used To Build Wipeout Track · · Score: 1

    Ya, I was just having a bad day. Don't take it personally.

  2. Re:Slashdot trolled on Controlled Quantum Levitation Used To Build Wipeout Track · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well your intellect obviously trumps all of us plebeians. You should go to MIT and create the most beautiful formulas ever devised with the perceptive mind of yours. While you're at it, lose the superiority complex.

  3. Re:No reason to celebrate now. on IE6 Almost Dead In the US · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yup, just head over to Piratebay. You can download both Windows and the movie Source Code for free.

  4. Re:This is wrong! on PR Firm Unwisely Tangles With Penny Arcade · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These aren't personal e-mails. This is akin to Microsoft telling you to fuck off. One bad employee shouldn't ruin it for the whole company, but who allowed this guy to be part of the team in the first place?

  5. Cool on Twin GRAIL Probes To Map Lunar Gravity Field · · Score: 3, Informative

    These probes work by communicating with one another and measuring the slight changes in speed they experience as they orbit together. This change in speed correlates to a slow-down due to different gravitational pulls, hence lunar densities.

  6. Re:Remember the good ol' days on Kepler Discovers First Earth-Sized Exoplanets · · Score: 0

    Kepler already has his laws, this is a machine.

  7. Remember the good ol' days on Kepler Discovers First Earth-Sized Exoplanets · · Score: -1, Troll

    When stars used to be named after important scientists, and not machinery.

    This is like naming Euclid's Algorithm: Wax Engraving - 2024

  8. Re:Are you a believer? on FBI Cybercrime Director Comments On Hacktivism · · Score: 1

    That's because they threw Santa in Guantanamo for international espionage.

  9. Re:Mixed feelings on Facebook Releases JIT PHP Compiler · · Score: 1

    I'm ZERO COOL, and I resent that statement. There is always a GUI driven "right" tool for the job.

  10. Re:Interesting problem on DARPA Seeks App Developers For War App Store · · Score: 1

    Would you feel better if the government admitted they were attacking those foreign pigs with avians?

  11. In a related incident: on Australian Federal Court Ends Ban On Samsung Galaxy Tab Sales · · Score: 5, Funny

    The court also ruled that consumers are allowed to take a single bite into an apple so long as they bite from the bottom.

  12. Only the Strong Shall Survive! on Study Hints That Wi-Fi Near Testes Could Decrease Male Fertility · · Score: 2

    May all the weak Wi-Fi afflicted sperm perish as their superior Wi-Fi resistant brethren overtake the womb!

  13. Re:No Windows on Earthscraper Takes Sustainable Design Underground · · Score: 1

    They can then take the lighting from the edges and the courtyard and funnel it through fiber to the rest of the apartments. After that they can but a webcam outside and put a nice LCD screen so everyone can have that breathtaking Mexico City view.

  14. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    Why not make the keyboard and mouse super secure and only let the user modify files in the shell? If an application needs to access files, make a file firewall and only allow applications that have explicit permissions granted by the secure keyboard and mouse?

  15. Re:More tests please. on OPERA Group Repeats Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Results · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're probably still trying to sync with time.windows.com. It's a common mistake.

  16. Re:Coming to the market in 5 years time? on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    And fly cars, can't forget them.

  17. Re:Better Place on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    Massive underground battery tubes my man.. Underground battery tubes.. yup.

  18. Re:Stupid on Amazon Launching eBook Lending Program, Publishers Unenthusiastic · · Score: 1

    It's a ridiculous system. It made sense when books were finite resources, but it can't survive the modern era.

    Making a digital book library with fake lending limits is like finding a replicator that can replicate a fuel efficient car for $1 and telling everyone they have to destroy their car before replicating a new one. It's just a bad thing for humanity in general, and it shouldn't be condoned.

  19. Re:Dumb Question on Facebook Sued For Violating Wiretap Laws · · Score: 1
  20. Re:What Does This Mean? on Pi Computed To 10 Trillion Digits · · Score: 1

    This will factor into your paycheck.

  21. Re:Black people happier? on The Genetics of Happiness · · Score: 1

    I think it's finally safe to say it. Black Americans really do have longer alleles. And Asian Americans have tiny ones.

  22. Re:Stallman and FOSS on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    Who are you to say that Slashdot can't be a website for Apple fans? Or Microsoft fans? Or fans of any company whose policies you may personally disagree with? Software freedom? Or only your brand of software freedom?

  23. It works! on Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin · · Score: 2

    If you can't surf the web, you can't get infected. McAfee has done it again!

  24. Tested True on Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers · · Score: 2

    I initially tried the Marvell controller on my Gigabyte X58 board for a new Agility 3. It was barely getting 230MB/s reads, and it was capped. It eventually failed to detect the drive, so I tried the Intel SATA 2 controller instead. Not only did the drive detect, but I now get ~250MB/s reads (faster random too I've read). I should've known that the company notorious for their freezing SSD controllers would do no better with the SATA controllers.

  25. Gieco on First Complete Lizard Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Following up on their results, the researchers also claim to pinpoint the Gecko lizard's origins to New Zealand.
