  1. Porn != Molestation on From Bess to Worse · · Score: 1

    I mean, the ratio of slashdot readers who watch porn to slashdot readers who have casual sex is probably pretty high.

  2. Re:Canned ape on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    To you sir I say fuck you. Nobody pisses on innovation.

  3. Unix is NOT consistant on Why Software Sucks, And Can Something Be Done About It? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Prehaps it is consistent across flavors (kinda) but take something as simple as quiting a CLI app. Oh, that's simple you say, just type c * Man: q * Vi/Vim: :q or :wq if you wanna save * Nano: x * Octave: quit() * Axion: )quit * EMACS: x, c Do you see the mounting frustration? Do you know how many new *nix users admit to restarting a machine/terminal because they could not figure out how to exit the man pages! And don't get me started on command/app names... Vi vs Word Pad.... Hmm tough choice...

  4. Re:How about 'recruiters' phishing? on Criminals Target Tech Students With Job Offers · · Score: 1

    Yesterday I got an email from SomeBigProcessorManufacturer trying to recruit me. Seemed fishy as hell, I'm gonna call the company in question Monday to figure out what is going on.

    Actually, I think I may have already fallen for one such scam. I was contacted by a student at my university claiming to be the student recruiter for AnotherBigICManufacturer asking for a resume. I fired it off without a glance. Tried to email him again, it bounced. Fuck.

    I mean, you could really screw someone with their resume, I put my phone, and adress[es] both email and physical on mine. And just with that, you could really do some damage.

  5. Re:This is a big deal on Tiny Particle With No Charge Discovered · · Score: 1

    That was a joke.

    Opponents of string theory claim that string theorists merely create higher dimensions to explain new particles. Higher dimensions that are not testable. Which leads to the second complaint about string theory; lack of testable predictions.

  6. Re:Deuterium? on Michigan Teen Creates Fusion Device · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's pretty easy to come by deuterium actually. You simply electrolyze heavy water. See this website http://www.rtftechnologies.org/physics/deuterium-e lectrolysis.htm for an example of heavy water electrolysis. He's a college student that has done much much more, check out HIS fusion reactor[s] http://www.rtftechnologies.org/physics/.

  7. Re:Microsoft Is In Trouble With Halo As 360 Savior on First Impressions of Halo 3 · · Score: 0

    24 bits per pixel (usually)

    yields

    1280x720x24 bits = 21.01 Mb = 2.64 MB

  8. Write your congressperson on How to Hack the Vote and Steal the Election · · Score: 0

    Copy and paste text to your liking (check my spelling)

    Mr./Ms. Representative,

    I would like to bring to your attention the greatest threat to America and the American way of life: election fraud.

    In this article, there are instructions and information detailing the exploitation of our current voting system THAT DID NOT EXIST IN OUR OLD SYSTEM.

    http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/evoting.ar s

    The voting machines are not secure and their results should not be trusted.

    Thank you for your time

  9. Oh, AL not AI on An Ode To Al · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I could have sworn the title said and ode to AI, I was expecting a song about artificial intelligence. So confused....

  10. EULA Gonna screw you! on Yahoo Tries to Woo Facebook With $900 Million · · Score: 1

    I would strongly reccomend reading the EULA, I did when I heard about it opening up. There is a nice phrase in there about "distributing your information to third parties without consent". Watch out.

    Remember, the way facebook makes money is through its users, leave and all these issues will be resolved.

  11. Will not work for math/science!! on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1

    So, I am a college student, and I have tried recording lectures and seminars and they simply are not as effective as going to class. Math, science and engineering are highly visual, and often the large bulk of the lecture is what is written on the board rather then what is said. I mean, have you ever closed your eyes (not sleeping) when a prof is giving proof of a theorem? It's mostly alot of "and then we take this" and "now it becomes quite obvious". Also, I have found professors with heavy unintelligable accents often give themselves subtitles. Seriously. I have had (and currently have) profs that, as they speak, write it verbatim on the board. Now, that is not to say distance learning does not work, my school has a quite successful distance learning program. But they have VIDEO and audio. Perhaps if the profs slides are on the web, the student could corrolate them to the audio. That is really the only way I think it would work.

  12. Link to GaTech/IBM press release on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 1

    Sadly, even my own school's press release says the chip operates at 250x cellphone speed. But the press release has much more techincal info then the EE Times article http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/half- terahertz.htm/
