  1. Mod Parent Up! Great Documentary! on What Beer Can Teach Us About Emerging Technologies · · Score: 1

    I Agree! How Beer Saved The World is an awesome documentary. Mod Parent Up!

  2. Re:Give it to me straight on Sun Unleashes Most Powerful Flare Since 2006 · · Score: 1

    If the flare had been directed towards the earth, what would have happened?

    A better question; what if this X-WHATEVER FLARE! (X 28) flare from November 2003 was pointed towards us?

  3. Re:How do they tell? on Verizon Cracks Down On Jailbreak Tethering · · Score: 1

    Well my HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile came with completely non-crippled Gingerbread & Sense 3.0 (which is bearable). It comes with USB Tethering, Reverse USB Tethering (getting on PC's network), Wifi Hotspot, etc... No charges, and I get around 5Mbit downloads. Great phone in general!

  4. Re:"Civilian" Spacecraft? on Dragon Capsule Could Be 1st Private Craft To Dock With ISS · · Score: 2

    NASA is a civilian agency as much as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, etc, are civilian agencies.

  5. Re:didn't this... something did on Boeing's Enormous Navy Laser Cannon · · Score: 1

    Well these aren't the only projects of this type. What about BAE System's Railgun?

    With a prototype delivered to the Navy back in 2009.

  7. Re:I'm using the 105Mbit service and the cap is re on Comcast's 105MBit Service Comes With Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Actually it says 250G*bit*, so 250/8 = ~31.25GB/month.

    I'll stick with Cablevision's Optimum Ultra. An extra $50 a month on top of their Boost plan (30down/5up) for 101Gbit down (where do you think that 105 came from? ;) ) / 15 Gbit up. Plus free webspace, domain name, ability to open port 80 and 25 for web hosting, and best of all, no capping that I know of.

    But, either way, thank goodness for competition.

  8. And hot on their heels... on Texas Instruments Buys National Semiconductor For $6.5B · · Score: 2, Informative

    BAE Systems completes purchase of Fairchild Imaging.

  9. Re:before you do it on Extinct Mammoth, Coming To a Zoo Near You · · Score: 1

    I like their Dogfish Head's 9000 year old beer recipe a lot more, and not just because it's older. You should be able to find some here and there at the moment .. it is "in season". Don't get me wrong, I just had a bottle of Theobroma, it is very good too!

  10. Re:In reality, not a whole lot... on Google Launches Nexus S Phone In UK and US · · Score: 1

    What about the support for a barometer?! Finally, I will be able to rest at ease...

  11. Next... on Harry Potter Blamed For India's Disappearing Owls · · Score: 1

    They'll all be driving flying cars.

  12. Re:Or you could on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 1

    It's the opposite in most other countries. My friend grew up in Brazil and his family was fairly well off. They owned a few cars, all automatic. One day they looked outside to find their car missing. They found it a couple hundred feet down the road with it stuck in first gear. Most people there have never even heard of an automatic, and they ditched it because they didn't know how to drive it.

  16. Re:Oh No, you're using the service you paid for! on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    Shall I add that they give you a free domain name, 12GB of webspace, open port 80 and 25, and do not throttle?

  17. Re:Oh No, you're using the service you paid for! on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    ARGH!! Stop saying FIOS is the best bandwidth in the country. Have you heard of Optimum Online Ultra? 101Mbit down, 15 Mbit up. I'm pretty sure thats faster than FIOS 50Mbit down, 20 Mbit up. And Ultra is $100/mo compared to FIOS $140/mo.

  18. Android NDK on C Programming Language Back At Number 1 · · Score: 1

    And if you happen to be developing native application code for Android using the Android NDK or contributing to the Android OS itself, you will be writing it in C.

    Not to mention our soon-to-be-tested HYPER-sonic cruise missile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-51. That's a Mach 6, Maneuverable, Scramjet, Cruise Missile. Bitches.

    Maybe slashdot should change their slogan to "opinions for nerds" then ;)

    If Slashdot has to then Fox News has to as well! ;)

    Has everybody forgotten this Slashdot Article, where SpaceX & Orbital have pending contracts to resupply the Space Station once their much further progressed vehicles are ready?

  24. Re:WMC plugins? on Boxee vs. Zinc vs. Hulu · · Score: 5, Informative
    Exactly! .. To me this is a bogus article and story. If you are going to compare something, at least try to stay in the same genre of software/services. Oh, and maybe add a few more of the well qualified choices. Hey let me give it a try!

    Media Center Software:
    • Boxee/XBMC
    • Windows Media Center
    • Media Portal (I'm using now, may switch to Boxee 4 Windows)
    • Zinc
    • Beyond TV
    • MythTV
    • SageTV
    • Freevo
    • GeexBox
    • VDR
    • Cyberlink PowerCinema
    • Nero Home
    • WinDVD Media Center
    • xHub
    • Media Central
    • Centerstage
    • The list goes on and on...

    Streaming Content Services:

    • Netflix
    • Hulu
    • CBS
    • BBC
    • CNN
    • Comedy Central
    • YouTube
    • etc..etc..etc..

    so .. apples to apples next time?
