  1. Re:I'm starting to see a beethoven-like pattern he on Windows 8 Will Run On All Current PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    So 9 should be awesome and an entirely new recording medium will have its size determined by its ability to hold one copy.
    CD ~700 MB ~74 minutes @44.1 kHz 16bit =The Choral Symphony (see http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fiw-sony-ohga-20110423,0,590843.story)
    ___ ~ X GB = Windows 9

  2. Re:Why hello there! on Windows 8 Will Run On All Current PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    Depends, are you measuring in human years or OS years? OS years are like dog years but instead of 7:1 they're about 10:1.
    I just made that up of course.

  3. Re:Reflexive /. Gates bashing in 3...2... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    What, so he can join Arafat and Obama? I doubt it.

  4. Re:Reflexive /. Gates bashing in 3...2... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    Wrong. The answer is "you can't tell from the information given." Although the "makes sure everyone knows he goes" makes him sound Pharisaical and prideful which is evidence against him.

  5. Re:Maybe a million monkeys on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    Yes, monkeys do have tails.

  6. Re:As someone who mostly reads books in bed on Google eBooks-Integrated E-reader Out On Sunday · · Score: 1

    So real (dead tree) books were always a problem for you?

    I just can't take her seriously because of those glasses!
    Sorry.

    Seriesly?

    More likely justs wants to reveal his prescience/insight in predicting the direction the posts will go...

  10. Re:Huh? on Microsoft Yanks Security Site Poisoned With Porn · · Score: 1

    As a for instance, it would be bad if you searched for porn on Saturday, then on Monday at work, when you search for stainless steel widgets, you get search results full of porn links.

  11. Re:Unfortunately.... on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it only be incriminating testimony if you had *actually* killed a guy in 1998 at work?

  12. Re:Watercooling on Ask Slashdot: Large-Scale DIY Outdoor Cooling of Cairo's Tahrir Square? · · Score: 1

    Sure, and if the protesters start to overheat in other ways, you can always increase the water pressure (think water cannon) and "cool them off quickly".

  13. Re:Worst Snowfall in 20 years on Snow Falls On the Most Arid Desert On Earth · · Score: 0

    No it doesn't.
    Snow is precipitation, i.e. some form of water falling from clouds.
    How did the water get into the clouds?
      It evaporated from the ocean, lakes, etc.
    Why did it evaporate?
    Heat.
    You get the picture?

  14. Re:sound like anybody we know? on Space Shuttle Atlantis Launches On Final Flight · · Score: 1

    It's within a factor of three, which is more than close enough for any astronomer.

  15. Re:A simple solution... on NJ Judge Rules GPS Tracking of Spouse Legal · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't a spark gap transmitter broadcast enough EMI in the GPS band to disrupt over a short range? Need a license for that?
    Cool - an excuse to put Tesla coil and Jacob's Ladder on the roof of my car!

    If you say so.

    I understand that there are brown-eye glasses made to correct this condition.

  18. Re:Thalidomide on Scientists Put an End To Smelly Socks · · Score: 1

    It's really hard to make socks that fit on guinea pigs feet.

    FTFY. Of course it's easy to fit a guinea pig inside a sock, I'd imagine.

  19. Re:Better living through chemicals on Scientists Put an End To Smelly Socks · · Score: 1

    Real men take peroxide/sulfuric baths. Followed by isopropanol rinse.

  21. Re:Steam-punk appeal on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    If it has moving parts (hands and things that connect to them) it is at least in part mechanical...electro-mechanical.
    And of course, analog and electronic are not mutually exclusive. I remember the days when Radio Shack had books that listed all kinds of op amps and cross-referenced part numbers. Analog electronics are still important though.

    Surely a few hold both and a few neither as well.

    So if it really works then it will block itself. Problem solved.

  25. Re:Amazing!!!! on Silver Pen Allows For Hand-Written Circuits · · Score: 1

    If there's no 'P', then there's no 'C' either. You just want the 'B'. You could use copper-clad laminate without the copper cladding. That'd be a sheet of FR-4, or polyester, or polyimide, etc.
