  1. Update on SpaceX to Attempt Launch of Falcon 1 Today · · Score: 1

    Update on their site says the launch is now scheduled for 4:45 PM.

  2. But... on A Single-Photon Server · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is the security good enough? How much space does it have? And, most importantly, how big are the cables that attach to this thing?

  3. Witchcraft on Dresses Made from Wine · · Score: 1

    But wait...wine is a liquid...you can't wear liquids! This man is obviously a witch of some kind! And that scary picture is not helping his case...(plus he turned me into a newt...no I haven't got better).
    Furthermore, his sheets are much whiter than mine, and he's using an ouiji board to produce these dresses...ouiji boards obviously being some multi-thousand year old old-world device to contact the dead (because, like it or not, the ultimate tool of communication between this world and the next is not some machine like Edison proposed, but in fact a piece of cardboard made by Parker Brothers).

  4. Psh. on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    Zork was just another attempt to bring DnD to a computer world. Warcraft was Warhammer...3D...

  5. Well on Opera's Slashdot Easter Egg and Speed Dial · · Score: 1

    I prefer RSS feeds thank you.

  6. Well... on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    This might reveal that I am a sheep with my OS (I don't have the time to convert archicad to a non-windows system right now), but who cares:
    You know, you could just record anything off your sound card through a method as simple as windows sound recorder (although you should use something better than that if you want stereo audio and whatnot). All of a sudden songs encrypted in flash, on youtube and heck, even from streaming radio, seem a lot less...inaccessible.
    Of course if you didn't know how to download the videos from youtube and convert those to MP3 you shouldn't be posting here.
    Personally if I was a band though, I'd check popular youtube series'. Sounds funny I know, but ask them if you can do a tribute song for them. They'll feature it and bam, 900,000 views (see: Kaj or Yugioh Abridged). But this might just work on fools like me who watch videos to find my music.

  7. note: on Voltron-Like Modular Robot Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    For any other readers...there are 11-14 "university of southern california"s. Please specify next time if you can.

  8. At work on Raymond Knocks Fedora, Switches to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I once again see the levels of Slashdotters at work.

    The average Slash Dotter: Microsoft sucks. They are the borg. Everything else is cool.
    Slightly into it: Microsoft sucks. They are the borg. Mac sucks. They have no real power. Linux is cool.
    Even more into it: Ditto, but your linux sucks.
    5 (Insightful): Everything stinks but the OS I developed myself, in my own basement, for whatever specific task I use it for (in this case, posting on slashdot and developing a better OS for OS developers).

  9. Well on Human Nature Trumps Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    This is mostly in response to all the other posts...but we should just get our current leaders...declare that they may not elect new officials (otherwise the armies would just be reclassified as leaders), given boards with nails in them and Nebraska, gated off and striped of civilians, vehicles, communication devices and weapons. Battle royale. By leaders, this includes anyone holding 1,000-5,000 year old grudges, and people taking orders from invisible men in the sky (including Tom Cruise). Of course I am, as a Californian, competent in my leader's ability to beat the ever loving sh*t out of yours. Arnold and Reagan. Who is still our governor. And totally not dead. Reagan lives! ((Sorry, Shortpacked! reference).

  10. Re:hmm on Cisco Extends Negotiations on iPhone · · Score: 1

    I have never called my harddrive, or my MP3 player, a "pod" though. Is there a country that does?

  11. Re:hmm on Cisco Extends Negotiations on iPhone · · Score: 1

    Pod: A protective capsule or case.

    Cell: A small room or prison.

    "Wow, monk cells look like little pods from a distance...now I understand why we call plant-cells 'cells'."

  12. hmm on Cisco Extends Negotiations on iPhone · · Score: 1

    I still think it should be called "iCell" Get it? iPod...iCell...units of space...function as extra storage space for various files...

    *crickets*

  13. Re:Hmmm on Sign Language Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    In retrospect, I also think it would be hard to include this feature on a cellphone.

  14. Hmmm on Sign Language Via Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I still think deaf people should communicate by getting to kick non-deaf people in the crouch. It works similiar to morse code, but with "crunches" and "squishes" instead of "dots" and "lines".

    But I'm one for giving handicapped people excuses to hurt the rest of us. It just seems fair. And I wear a cup.

  15. ...So! on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to clog the tubes, take the truck to work. Got it.

  16. Re:Probably worthless anyway on EU May Force iTunes Store To Accept Returns · · Score: 1

    *sets sound recorder to record from sound card instead of mic*

    What's the problem again?

  17. Misleading Title on Space Potato Hits the Streets · · Score: 4, Funny

    Space Potato Hits Streets
    There were no survivors.

  18. Well... on Geo-Engineering to stop Climate Change · · Score: 4, Funny

    As an architect, let me say that the moment you try to force me to paint my beautiful roof-top gardens white, I will be forced to get...hostile...

    If only "hostile" meant more than "think about sending a nasty e-mail."

  19. Re:I have an idea on Canadian Copyright Group Wants iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    iProtest? iConform? iPollute?

  20. Well... on Recognizing Scenes Like the Brain Does · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I for one welcome our new neuro-recognizing driving assistant overlords.

  21. Hmmm on Dell Laptop Burns House Down · · Score: 1

    Here's something interesting...the Inspiron entire 1000 (including 1200) line is completely left out of the recall list...makes me worried about my old laptop...

  22. Hmmm on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    If we launch enough, perhaps we could shield ourselves from the sun a bit more and turn the tide on global warming.

  23. Wait.... on Personality Secrets in Your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Aren't we, as humans, driven and defined by all things that we choose to enter our life? We can do psychological surveys on favorite foods, clothes, costumes...paper or plastic?

  24. Hmm... on DNA to Test Theory of Roman Village in China · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When in Rome, do as the Romans...go to China?

    Hmm could these have been the first Italians to eat noodles?

    Or perhaps the first westerners to catch yellow fever?

    Either way, I for one welcome our [ancient] lost Roman overlords.

  25. Re:Meh... on Jack Thompson Faces Disciplinary Hearing · · Score: 1

    I didn't know which to reply to in this discussion, but: Has anyone here *ever* actually *met* any of these "anti-video game" people? Ever been accused of being violent? Ever seen a game taken off the shelves permanently (I may be wrong. This is a legit question)?
