  1. Re:Criminal prosecution? on Cracking a Crypto Hard Drive Case · · Score: 1

    I can see the PC World advert now:

    "This hard drive comes with the new "ROT 3132 X-TREME" encryption technology."

  2. Re:Oh dear God... on First Amendment Ruling Protects Internet Trolls · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Statements were crudely sexual and accused Ms. Krinsky of being among boobs, liars and crooks."

    I think when he referred to boobs he meant fools, not actual boobs. Saying someone was among breasts makes no sense, unless I have got the wrong end of the stick.

  3. Bah on Case of the Great Hot-Site Swap · · Score: 0

    My college already does this with Hull college. What's so new? I thought everyone did this.

  4. Algae on Boeing Helping to Develop Algae-Powered Jet · · Score: -1

    Algae produce about 73 to 87 percent of the net global production of oxygen. So let's get rid of it!!! If anything this will make the levels of C02 in our atmosphere worse.

  5. Re:Waste of effort on Robots Teach Autistic Kids Social Skills · · Score: 0

    I don't think you quite understand what autism is. I think you are the retard.

  6. Autism on Robots Teach Autistic Kids Social Skills · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I have talked to many autistic children and this is only going to teach them how to mimic social skills rather than solve the problem.

  7. Right on UK Proposal To Restrict Internet Pornography Sparks Row · · Score: 0

    But what is an extreme pornographic image?
    " An "extreme pornographic image" is an image which is both:
    (a) pornographic, and
    (b) an extreme image."

    Thankyou for clearing that up for me

  8. Writing a list on Five Ideas That Will Reinvent Computing · · Score: 5, Funny

    "IMAX-quality movies at home with new projectors, a mid-air mouse that requires no flat surface, a home quantum computer, a router-based peer-to-peer system, and a man-made brain all made the list."

    Surely you just need a bloke with a pen and a piece of paper to make a list.

  9. How long... on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 0

    ...before the ThinkOfTheChildren lot come along and moan about "WiTricity" giving their kids brain cancer.

  10. Re:Pete Townsend? on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    A big sketch of him on your back with "Part of the Gang" in olde english underneath.

  11. Re:Pete Townsend? on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    unfortunatly not, although I wish it was true then I could make FP of slashdot :) BTW to anyone else Pete Townshend is the guitarist from the Who, who is now on the sex offenders register for "researching" child pornography.

  12. Pete Townsend? on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 2, Funny

    I got fired from my job as a kindergarten teacher because I was a part time pete townsend impersonator.

  13. Re:Insult Dvorak if you want, but he on EFF and Dvorak Blame the Digg Revolt On Lawyers · · Score: 1

    I know, it was a joke

  14. Insult Dvorak if you want, but he on EFF and Dvorak Blame the Digg Revolt On Lawyers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Makes a damn good keyboard layout though

  15. Re:Sakai and Moodle on Real Open Source Applications for Education? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the rest of them but judging by moodle the paperless campus is a bad idea. There's too much scope creep when it comes to these projects, where-by they are so overcrowded with useless "features" that the real task of setting assignments and submitting them is lost. In fact I would go as far to say that moodle is the worst web-based application I have ever used.

  16. Re:Latin Joke on DNA to Test Theory of Roman Village in China · · Score: 2, Informative

    Essentially meaning "Me love you long time, SUKI SUKI five dolla" but the Roman equivalent

  17. Latin Joke on DNA to Test Theory of Roman Village in China · · Score: 1

    "Mihi amo tu diuturnus, combibo quinque denario"

  18. Banned! on MySpace Worm Creator Sentenced · · Score: 1

    How can you get banned from the internet, it's not like it's a tangible object like being banned from the shopping mall.

  19. Scientific Fact on UK Schools Bans WiFi Due To Health Concerns · · Score: 1

    It is well known that the DNA of children who come into contact with wireless radiation have more in common with crabs than you or I, there is no real evidence to support this, but it is scientific fact.

  20. Proposterous on Hubble Reinforces Planet Formation Theory · · Score: 2, Funny

    Planets are made by god, your theory is ludicrous, I'm sueing you for not acknowledging my alternative theory.

  21. Re:Suprisingly enough... on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I thought when I read this article.

  22. Misread on Bush Reveals New Space Policy · · Score: 1

    "Sissy Spacek reveals new bush"

  23. Don't dispair on Sopranos' Creator Doubtful of Game Meaning · · Score: 1

    "So cooking dinner, going to Lamaze class, there's no way to figure that into a game at this point." - I've figured it out Xtreme cooking (like Xtreme ironing) and Vitrual Lamaze where you have to balance the mothers breathing and all the other fun that comes with virtual lamaze, buy it now at walmart, only $5.99

  24. Adapting their business model on Build a Better Netflix, Win a Million Dollars? · · Score: 1

    Yahoo has just done it and now netflix is, these companies are not hiring programmers anymore but asking hobbyists to write them code in their spare time and the hobbyist with the best code wins. Which really eliminates the need for programmers.

    I rekkon this will bite us all in the ass in the future because if everyone does this there will be no jobs left and therefore people will not learn because there is no money involved and then the companies will have no hobby programmers left.

  25. Opensource on SIP vs. Skype, Making the "Open" Choice · · Score: 1

    "With Skype, I bog down my PC, and still have to look myself in the mirror as many of my friends shake their heads with disgust." - surely running as a super node for 5 minutes a month isn't that bad.
