  1. But the real question is... on Space Junk or a Meteor? Fireball Lit Up Midwestern Skies · · Score: 0

    Where did they land?

    Also, did Zefram Cochrane already did his space flight?

  2. Missing CCTV footage on Space Junk or a Meteor? Fireball Lit Up Midwestern Skies · · Score: 0
  3. I didn't know IE was still maintained on Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 10 For Windows 7 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Actually, I didn't know if Microsoft was still around. I thought they died off long ago.

  4. Capture the Babe on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    ... I hope when we capture the babe, he says "Hail to the King, Baby!"

  5. Next thing you know... on Data Miners Scraping Away Our Privacy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... we'll be rescuing them from an underground data mine after they've been stuck there for 69 days.

  6. This is a bit worrisome . . . on Small Asteroid To Pass Close To Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 0
    FTFA:

    A telescope of the NASA-sponsored Catalina Sky Survey north of Tucson, Arizona discovered 2010 TD54 on Oct. 9 at (12:55 a.m. PDT) during routine monitoring of the skies.

    . . . if an asteroid can get this close to us without our knowledge until 3 days before a flyby, the Pan-STARRS isn't doing enough to detect NEOs in advance.

  7. Re:Bad science: not more sex, more partners on Stats Show iPhone Owners Get More Sex · · Score: 1

    Married people are not allowed on Slashdot.

    Also, 3 times a week after marriage is impossible. Don't you mean 3 times a day with your girlfriend?

  8. India is the 5th country... on India's New Rupee Symbol Won't Show On Computers · · Score: 1

    ... to get a symbol for its currency. Congratulations!

  9. Plumbing? on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    It's not just plumbing.... All of this has happened before, and it'll all happen again.

  10. I would REALLY recommend watching these on What Knowledge Gaps Do Self-Taught Programmers Generally Have? · · Score: 1

    This U.C. Berkeley Data Structures class would help a lot:

    You could probably go through all the lectures in a month and you would know a lot more than most programmers in the industry!

  11. I would totally volunteer to go if... on Sending Astronauts On a One-Way Trip To Mars · · Score: 1

    ... they give me one of those uber-cool replicators so I don't starve. Earl grey coffee and klingon blood wine must also be programmed in the replicator! =)

  12. What about the Space Bar? on Microsoft Patents "Pg Up" and "Pg Dn" · · Score: 1

    I think they'd be better off patenting the space bar, since its bigger and probably more profitable! =) Plus, if you use a fixed width font, the space bar moves exactly the same amount as each letter! woo hoo!

  13. The statistics are baseless... on 42% of Web Users Sneak Onto Others' Online Accounts · · Score: 1

    because the story doesn't really tell how many of 42% of users were granted the passwords earlier. I mean if husbands and wives go into each others accounts or if someone has given her password earlier to someone and this person logs into her account later on without her knowledge, this action can't really be constituted as invasion of privacy, because the password was granted. IMHO anyways...

  14. I have Se7en more... on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 1

    ... features that Windows 7 should have: 1. Must report all porn watching to local police.
    2. Must report all useless online shopping. Definition of useless shopping may vary.
    3. Must report any profit making activities (including using Ebay to sell wholesale items and stock trading).
    4. Must crash if left idle. Servers are OK, as far as they're being used at all times.
    5. Must detect angry users via enforced biometric sensors on all machines and report them.
    6. Must not allow downgrading to older versions of Windows under any circumstances. Linux is strictly prohibited.
    7. Must not allow anything bad said about it in any online review or blog -- or at least censor it in IE.

  15. Re:USR8054 on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean U.S. Robotics?

    If you lived in Chicago (like I do), you would know that Will Smith is always there to shut down all the USRs. Or at least find a USR to do it for him.

    Oh never mind, I hear he's a super hero now.

  16. It doesn't work, when... on A New Tool From Google Worries Brand-Name Sites · · Score: 1

    ...I search for google! I want to search within google's site!

  17. In related news... on Do Gamers Enjoy Dying in First-Person-Shooters? · · Score: 1

    ... as study shows that people enjoy dying in the real world. The authors believe this may result from the temporary "relief from engagement" brought about by death. It is temporary relief because soon they are born again as a poor child and 4 years later OLPC hands you a laptop with Quake 3 on it.
