  1. One word for ya: Streamripper on Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend · · Score: 5, Informative

    1. Record innernets radio with streamripper, a free CLI app ported for Unix and Win32.
    2. See how streamripper lays all the songs in your folder nice and neat with all the MP3 tag information intact.
    3. Sort the folder on size in your favorite file manager and delete all the sub-megabyte commercials.
    4. See how RIAA doesn't have a clue what's going on because it's like taping your songs on a boom box.
    5. ????
    6. Profit!

    On the cusp of his demise Steve Jobs saw the whole panoply of time. He saw the demise of Android, and said, "Oh wow! Oh wow!"

    One would think transporting oil a billion miles would cut into your profit margin.

    I'm sure they will "Bob" on the Surface for a little while.

  6. Re:Daft Punk, Not Kanye on On the iPhone and Apple's Meteoric Rise To the Top · · Score: 2

    Sure, next you'll tell me MC Hammer sampled the bass line for "U Can't Touch This" and Vanilla Ice sampled the bass line for "Ice Ice Baby".

  7. Re:The opposite of "The PC is Dead". on HP Kills ARM-based Windows Tablet, Likely Thanks To Microsoft Surface · · Score: 1

    I betcha they're finding out in Redmond right now that Surface can't withstand abuse from flying chairs.

  8. Re:Cashless == untraceable? on A Cashless, High-Value, Anonymous Currency: How? · · Score: 1

    You young whippersnappers don't know how good you got it. Back in my day when we loaded Slashdot onto our Sinclair ZX-80s from cassette tapes, our money oinked.

  9. Re:my dick on Researchers Spray-Paint Batteries Onto Almost Any Surface · · Score: 0

    Well if you did, and she complains you're spending too much time on Slashdot, you can just spray some battery on her Brass Buzzing Thing and go back to your Linux talk or whatever you were doing.

    Maybe they could sell them to Chad.

  11. Re:Industry failure on Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android · · Score: 0

    Flash was never suitable for phones because it is a major battery hog.

    Only need it for a few minutes in the bathroom surfin' You Porn. Now you boys are back to using magazines.

  12. Re:The only problem is... on Google On-shores Manufacturing of the Nexus Q · · Score: 1

    They don't have robots that can fix robots yet. You gotta call me, supertech.

  13. Re:So.. your logic is as follows.. on Two Space Missions Planned To Look For Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Knowing all those megatons of iron are waiting up there will have a quieting effect on the world's population.

  14. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    Headline should be: One of the smaller Antarctic shelves stable for 2 years, new field data show.

    In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

  15. Waste of money on Two Space Missions Planned To Look For Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1, Informative

    When was the last time in recorded history an asteroid landed on people? That's right, never. Even the Tunguska thing flattened a lot of trees but killed no one. That's because the Earth isn't rigged like Coruscant, or Trantor. But if you want to look for rocks which have essentially the same orbit as the Earth, and could be nudged into a double-lunar capture to become a source of raw materials in cis-lunar space, I'll sign up for that one.

  18. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    The n-body problem has an exact solution when n equals 2. The 3-body problem has five exact solutions (called Lagrange points) if the secondary body is less than 24 times the mass of the primary, the mass of the third is taken as negligible (such as a space telescope) and all three objects orbit the common barycenter with zero eccentricity, on the same plane.

    I thought this was a post about a Swedish Hand Massage. Nevermind!

  20. Re:stopped using it? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    Puppy Linux has a start button, and if you right click the mouse, you get the start button menu. Maybe Microsuck could try that. They could say there's no start button, and get whatever brownie points they're looking for with that, and still have a start button menu.

  21. Re:It could happen here on Stellar Blast Boils Away Some of a Planet's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    There's enough energy there (even at that insance distance) to cause wide spread extinction on the planet.

    Yeah, mass extinction events happen all the time. Every hundred million years of so. I better get my gamma ray shelter ready now.

  23. What's going to be really embarrassing.. on Targeted TV Ads: Silver Bullet Or Privacy Nightmare? · · Score: 2

    ..is about 2020 or so when they have public video billboards lining the downtown sidewalks triggering off your embedded RFID chip. Everywhere you go, nothing but ads for LOGO network, Brokeback Mountain DVDs, "Wicked", and Carmen Miranda banana hats on sale.

    In other words, the Netherlands, where heroin is essentially legal, has a *lower* percentage of hard drug users than the rest of the world, not higher.

    It's reverse psychology, man. You say, "Don't you dare try smoking fried banana peels" and that's the first thing they do.

  25. Re:he defeated his own argument on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: -1, Troll

    this is, of course, forgetting that oil supply is finite, while biomass/solar fuels are sustainable.

    They could come up with a way to power appliances by shorting the Earth's magnetic field through them directly to ground, and Obama would sign an executive order halting it because it adversely affects the pollen navigation system of the common moth.
