  1. nice price list on Houston Police Test Unmanned Surveillance Aircraft · · Score: 1

    The aircraft has a wingspan of 10 feet and is said to cost from $30K to $1M
    They might as well have said it costs from nothing to Brazilians of dollars.
  2. Re:Miniaturization on NASA Goes Bargain Basement With New Satellite · · Score: 1

    I agree.. because surely the goal is to have as much of the stuff they have on star trek as possible.

  3. That's nothing... on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... The IRS spend $6 million on cocaine and hookers alone.

    Well done on finding a possitive side to being a 36 year old virgin.

  6. geek elitism strikes again on PEBKAC Still Plagues PC Security · · Score: 0, Troll

    Slashdot is a bit like having a site for steam engine enthusiasts who sit around talking about how the average user doesn't grease his flange compression ringlets between fly wheel alignment cycles, And then having a good old laugh at them while at the same time being a smug prick.

    These people may have more malware, but i bet they get laid more often.

  7. Researchers said..... on Virtual Robots Fooled By Visual Illusions · · Score: 1

    ....."It was amazing, They done exactly what we programed them to do. Next we are going to program one to *not* be fooled by optical illusions and see what happens! I can't wait!"

  8. revenge on Ebay Hacked, User Info Posted · · Score: 1

    It just someone pissed that they got out bid on an A-team lunchbox.

  9. let us have our fun, Nerds! on The Physics of Beer Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Trust nerds to take the fun out of beer and turn it in to something "interesting".

  10. Progress on The Study of Physical Hacks at DefCon · · Score: 1

    the focus may be shifting towards simple hacking tips like looking over someone's shoulder for their password
    Wow, 1337. Hacking certainly has moved with the times.
  11. a new wave on New Linux Desktop Environment Built on Firefox · · Score: 1

    In Pyro, Web apps run in windows on the desktop, right alongside desktop apps
    revolutionary! Watch out MS! :/

    I don't know about anyone else, But the main reason i use FF is because i don't want my browser to be an integral part of the OS.

    They always say, A feature that isn't a solution to a problem, is a problem in it's self.
  12. Two answers on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    Truth: Drink a coffee, Smoke a cigarette and wish i hadn't drank so much tequila the night before.

    What i would say: get straight to work and try to improve my production by 3.7% on the previous day! Sir!

  13. Should have done different wonders on Did We Really Need Seven New Wonders? · · Score: 1

    they should have gone for different kinds of wonders instead of just a list of old crap. I would have liked to have seen a list of seven scientific wonders.
    There has been enough cool stuff in science lately to get a list of seven "wonders".

  14. Great.... on Mike Godwin hired by Wikimedia Foundation · · Score: 1

    .. The guy who invents "laws" to help him win arguments can actually make important decisions now...

  15. youtube on TV? on Open Source Set-Top-Box Adds YouTube Support · · Score: 1

    I dunno.. watching someone get his in the groin with a football just isn't the same if it's not on a computer screen

  16. Re:He was surprised... on How Motherboards Are Made · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This clown would rather argue figures given simply to higlight the pitiful conditions these people work in because he knows that they do work for shit money in shit conditions.

    And the fact that he tacked a "sir" on to every sentence make me think he's a pompus cretin who doesn't even care what shit these poor people are living in, As long as he gets his cheap mother boards.

    $500 a month? I make over 3 times that a week. So don't have the cheek to make out that these people are in some way fairly compensated for thier labour. They work for shit money in shit conditions and the only reason the compamny doesn't buy fucking robots is because orphan kids are cheaper.

  17. He was surprised... on How Motherboards Are Made · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ...by how much still had to be done by hand. Everything is done by hand in Taiwan.

    Why pay for robots when you have an endless supply of poor people willing to work for 1% of the cost of one mother board a week.

  18. I don't know about keyboards.... on Are Keyboards Dishwasher Safe? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... But it don't work with cats.

  19. Additionally... on Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging · · Score: 1

    .... He was also asked to remove all memory of the day from his mind as recalling it later is against their policies, Unless he buys a ticket for each time the memory is recalled. When leaving the stadium spectators were told "first rule of NCAA is: Don't talk about NCAA, Second rule of NCAA is: Don't blog about NCAA and the third rule of NCAA is: No outside food or drink".

    By the way, I'm English, I have no idea what NCAA is.

  20. Re:Knowledge tests... on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 1

    So set a limit of how many times someone from the same IP address can register in a set amount of time, like only once a day, for example.
    That would make it harder but i'm sure these kinds of people have extensive proxy lists.

    As much as it saddens me, I think the current captcha is about as good as it gets.
  21. International Atrocities on Satellite Images Used to Document International Atrocities · · Score: 1

    It's true. The millenium dome is clearly visible.

  22. Re:Knowledge tests... on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If there are four possible answers even a script will be right 1 in four time... So if they make a registration attempt every second they will still get 900 successful registions an hour.

  23. Legs for the disabled on Chairbot Walks You Around While You Sit · · Score: 1

    When asked what his experience testing this device was like, a disabled man was quoted as saying "it's just as convenient as a wheelchair, Only far more terrifying".

  24. They think we are idiots on US Military Launches YouTube Channel · · Score: 1

    The footage is not picked specifically to show the military in a good light
    I'm sure some footage that shows the military in a good light will inadvertently slip through though.

    "oh look... a clip of marines handing out sweets to Iraqi kids. How did that get in there? Damn, That doesn't leave any room for the torture and rape videos we were going to post."
  25. web 2.0... on Social Computing and Badger's Paws · · Score: 1

    .. It's a fancy name for sites that use AJAX and have glass icons.
