  1. Re:Make me read the article... on Silent Microchip 'Fan' Has No Moving Parts · · Score: 0
    From TFA:

    is the underlying technology in many consumer and industrial products, from silent household air purifiers and photocopiers to electrostatic precipitators and some lasers.

    I would say that's a big yes, assuming this is similar to the Ionic Breeze, which does create ozone.

    I wouldn't worry about health aspects, though, as this just means we can start putting servers in the stratosphere and take care of those pesky holes in the ozone layer...
  2. Re:As an Oregonian... on Google's Addiction to Cheap Electricity · · Score: 2, Funny

    As far as I can tell, you didn't make any of them up ;)

  3. umm?? on Firefox 3 Antiphishing Sends Your URLs To Google · · Score: 0

    and Google gets a wealth of information about which sites are popular

    Doesn't running the leading search engine already give you a pretty good idea about which sites are popular?
  4. Re:Whole Lotta Speculation going on on GPhone Still In the Works At Google · · Score: 0

    Nope, nothin concrete, BUT(!) there's ultra sekrit spy photos of Microsoft's zuPhones!!!

    Looks like it can hold a ton of mp3s though.
  5. Re:Awesome.... on SwarmOS Demonstrated at Idea Festival · · Score: 0

    Well not all of us are clever enough to turn the phrase 'byteme' into binary. As a matter of grammar, however, you need to add 00100000 between the 'e' and the 'm'.

  6. Move Along... on Artificial Life May Be Possible Within Ten Years · · Score: 0

    Nothing to see here. This was already done a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

  7. Re:Do they let wookies on airplanes? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 0

    Here's how Chewie gets on the plane:

    TSA Agent: Let me see your passport.
    Obi-Wan: [waves hand] You don't need to see his passport.
    TSA Agent: We don't need to see his passport.
    Obi-Wan: This isn't the wookie you're looking for.
    TSA Agent: This isn't the wookie we're looking for.
    Obi-Wan: He can go about his business.
    TSA Agent: You can go about your business.
    Obi-Wan: Move along.
    TSA Agent: Move along... move along.

  8. Re:I have money on Another Way To Erase Memories · · Score: 0

    Probably about as much as the divorce. Unfortunately, your ass will still hurt from the reaming and you won't know why.
    No, no, he said that he still had money. Obviously he hasn't gone through a divorce.
  9. Re:Brave people on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 0

    For the most part if California thinks it's a good idea, the rest of the country doesn't.

    So why is it that laws first passed in California (.08 BAC = DUI, or no smoking in public places) are then slowly adopted by the rest of the states? Perhaps by "wacko" and "out of touch" you mean forward thinking? I'm not saying CA is perfect, but at least our women nearly are...
  10. Re:Ohhh, embeded you say. on Ubuntu Mobile Announced · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Now i get to see exactly how fast I can txt "sudo aptitude update -y && updatedb"


    You won't need to use that command, as you'll never be able to get your WiFi connection working anyway...
  11. Re:Nothing New on Buildings Could Save Energy By Spying On Workers · · Score: 0

    ...attached to soda machines. They turn off when nobody's around


    That must've made for some warm soda... or those machines have some awesome liquid nitrogen cooling system...
  12. Re:how many KVMs on Linux Kernel to Include KVM Virtualization · · Score: 1, Funny

    Obviously KVM wasn't registered with the Federal Acronym Registration Team or F.A.R.T. (Jon Stewart is a funny man)

  13. Upshot? on New Phone Uses GPS To Locate Your Contacts · · Score: 0
    The upshot is that lawyers now have a new income source.
    I hardly find this to be an upshot...
  14. Re:Ok so... on World Firefox Day · · Score: 0
    Isn't that unecessary (and frivolous) bloat?

    I would assume that the names would be included into a commented section of the code, which is ignored by the compilers, which would add nothing to the size of the .exe.
  15. Re:Wrong kind of robots on The Question of Robot Safety · · Score: 0
    In the future you may not be able to (legally) purchase a handgun that will fire on a human being.


    Then what is the purpose of buying a (legal) handgun in the future? Or will phasers be invented by this time?
  16. Re:It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling on Former BSA VP Confirmed as Tech Undersecretary · · Score: 0
    Personally I hope they hire more people from the BSA.


    Don't you think we have enough underachievers in the governmnet already?
  17. Re:Generation without a past on Your Digital Inheritance? · · Score: 0
    A generation with no past is bad news.


    According to Orwell: "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

    So logically no past = no future... no wonder time travel is impossible...
  18. Re:I'll submit the source code for... on The 2006 Underhanded C Contest Begins · · Score: 1, Funny
    Oh darn, it's not written in C.


    //Here you go

    void main(){

    install(WindowsME);
    return(0);

    }
  19. Re:Dynamic Pricing Based on Plays on Google Music Store Inches Closer? · · Score: 1
    If Google launched their own player along with the store, I could envision a pricing model that based the price of the songs


    They do. It's called the juh-juh-juh G-Unit
