  1. Re:Please, for the love of God... on Concern Over Creating Black Holes · · Score: 1

    Um "disproved by physics" and "common theme in sci-fi" are two very different things. Actually most physicists agree that time travel is totally impossible on a macro scale. (not trying to start a quantum theory debate here, quanti dont follwo the same laws as the rest of us, i.e. particle/wave duality)

  2. Re:Hard drive caught fire? I think not. on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire! · · Score: 1

    But we are still talking about a single chip. Not exactly uncommon to let the blue smoke out. Chips burn up all the time. The recent laptop battery thing, however, is a fundamental design issue. This is just a popped chip.

  3. Hard drive caught fire? I think not. on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire! · · Score: 1

    A single chip on the onboard CONTROLLER critically overheated. This is not the same thing as a hard drive just randomly bursting into flames. I had this happen once before and was able to retrieve the data by getting a duplicate harddrive and switching out the controller board. Then seeing as my original drive was just recently purchased, I returned the second drive with the original drive's controller to Frys. (and before anyone crys foul, it's no different than returning the original drive, except I got to keep my data)

  4. Ants playing too much quake on Trap-Jaw Ants Break Speed Records With Jaws · · Score: 1

    So apparently the insect kingom is perfecting the rocket jump. How long until they get the BFG?

  5. Re:Good week for conspiracy theorists. on James A. Van Allen - Dies at 91 · · Score: 1

    yup. no offense meant. but loose/lose is a pet peeve of mine for some OCD reason.

  6. Re:Good week for conspiracy theorists. on James A. Van Allen - Dies at 91 · · Score: 1

    doh.

  7. Re:Good week for conspiracy theorists. on James A. Van Allen - Dies at 91 · · Score: 2, Informative

    One "looses" the hounds. One "loses" their keys. A company who's CEO is found with a dead hooker or a live little boy suffers "losses". Get it right.

  8. Re:Honey can lead to infant botulism on Fun Things To Do With Your Honeypot System · · Score: 1

    ....Im guessing you might be new EVERYWHERE. My point still stands, the article, thread, and conversation has nothing to do with giving honey to children. Please exit the high horse ride to your left.

  9. Re:Honey can lead to infant botulism on Fun Things To Do With Your Honeypot System · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Now where did I leave my STFU stick? Are you honestly this retarded that you have to glibbly spout of random trivia that in no way relates to the topic at hand? If people are discussing the middle east cocflict, do you suddenly feel a need to warn them that Iraq has camel spiders and those are bad for babies?

  10. Re:Think of the Children! on Cyberwar on NASA Websites · · Score: 1

    Ray Charles called. He said he couldn't find the funny either.

  11. Re:Think of the Children! on Cyberwar on NASA Websites · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mac isn't unhackable. It's just that nobody puts any effort into hacking mac so there's less study into it. Why? Well unless you really wanna pwn some guy's after-effects or photoshop, there's not a lot of point.

  12. Re:Buy a copy of windows on Options for 'Fixing' A Pirated Copy of Windows · · Score: 5, Informative

    You've obviously not pirated much. Most program cracks and keygens are, for some inexplicable reason, created with obnoxious midi loops that auto play when you run them.

  13. Re:Who buys this stuff? on The Plot To Hijack Your Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    One notorious spammer said that only one out of every 100,000 emails resulted in a sale. But since they really have no overhead, and they send these out by the billions every year, it still makes an easy profit for obese guys sitting at home in their underwear covered in cheetos dust.

  14. Re:Adsense made the internet retarded. on Real Life Spy Gadgets That Anyone Can Buy · · Score: 1

    Amuse: From the latin "Amose" meaning to expel or regurgitate ones food.

  15. Re:What the hell is wrong with this article on Real Life Spy Gadgets That Anyone Can Buy · · Score: 3, Informative

    Considering the title itself implies the purchase of said things, one might conceivably think the page would have the links to purchase them.
    And instead of actually doing any real research the poster simply ganked a bunch of product shots from the spy shop online, I'd say on a scale of one to awesome, this rates: toast.

  16. Re:Adsense made the internet retarded. on Real Life Spy Gadgets That Anyone Can Buy · · Score: 1

    that would at least be amusing. This is just spam.

  17. Adsense made the internet retarded. on Real Life Spy Gadgets That Anyone Can Buy · · Score: 3, Informative

    This needs to be renamed to "Real Life spy gadgets that anyone (who has google and a lot of time to find them by themselves) can buy" Worst slashdot, ever.

  18. JT is right on Games Seized Following Murder · · Score: 1

    As a young impressionable child I played a lot of Pac-man. It was a "gateway" game, I'm afraid. Soon I was hooked on Mrs. Pacman, then Dig-dug and even pitfall. Now every time I see an 8-bit pixelated character I have this insane urge to kill. STOP THE MADNESS! Video Games make children worship satan, become homosexuals and then join the Taliban. If you plug in the xbox 360, then the terrorists win!

    It's a good thing we have good ole JT here to show us the path to enlightenment through morality. I hear after the senate meeting we're all invited over for kool-aid but he says to bring your Nike's.

  25. Re:DSFR on Teens Arrested in MySpace Extortion Scam · · Score: 1

    You're wrong. Their latest code didn't exploits myspace programming, rather it was nothing more than a phishing scam.
