  1. Biking requires to be sit down for long periods... on Sit Longer, Die Sooner · · Score: 1

    Is it killing me or protecting me?

  2. Who, M.D. on Matt Smith Leaving Doctor Who Already? · · Score: 4, Funny

    If this rumour happens to be true, I think it's a good time to nominate Hugh Laurie for the next doctor...

  3. Obligatory on Zynga Investment May Herald Google Games · · Score: 1

    BaZynga!

  4. Re:Star Control 2. was the best sh@t i ever on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 1

    I strongly believe that Star Control 2 was the main inspiration for "Babylon 5". Long time ago I tried to make a fan-made movie based on Star Control universe. You can find the only three episodes so far on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcENlkkkOV8 I guess I should open-source the story arch, in case somebody else is interested into the story.

  5. By the way... on Family's Christmas Photos Hawk Groceries In Prague · · Score: 1

    There's a chilean cable provider which seems to have been inspired by the Slashdot logo.

  6. By the way... on Ocean Currents Proposed As Cause of Magnetic Field · · Score: 1

    There's a chilean cable provider that seems to have been inspired by the Slashdot logo.

  7. It's computer-generated... on Family's Christmas Photos Hawk Groceries In Prague · · Score: 1

    I can tell by the pixels, and having shop at many supermarkets in my day.

  8. Re:Element 112 on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought Plutonium no longer was an element...

  9. 3D Visualization on Beginning Python Visualization · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does it say anything about 3D Visualization of data? a very handy tool is VPython.

  10. Boa Constructor on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    My favorite IDE is the combination of Python + wxPython + Boa Constructor. I tried to make the switch to IronPython, but it seems that it still lacks all the functionality of wxPython. Maybe in the future there will be a Visual Python Express Edition, only not yet.

  11. Clear and present danger? on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    Not so sure. As far as I know there's only one country who has ever used nuclear weapons against inocent civilians...twice. Yet that doesn't necesarily implies that any other country could become equally insane.

  12. Acquine is an Opus Dei!! on Computers With Opinions On Visual Aesthetics · · Score: 1

    According to him, this picture sucks.

  13. Drobo on How To Store Internal Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a Drobo could be a good solution for you?

  14. Nothing new here. on Command Lines and the Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    Opera has been doing that for years. You can use all your search tools (even user-defined) as commands on the address bar. For instance, if on my Opera address bar I type 'ext mdb', that will take directly to http://filext.com/file-extension/mdb

  15. An alternative solution on Scientist Patents New Method To Fight Global Warming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Capture a 150ft (50m) asteroid and throw it into the middle of the Atlantic. That will rise A LOT of water into the atmosphere. Remember, you heard it first from me.

  16. Greetings, Professor Falken on Cell-based "Roadrunner" Tops Elusive Petaflop Mark · · Score: 1

    "An American military supercomputer, assembled from components originally designed for video game machines"...and nobody made a single WarGames joke? Slashdot user base seems to be getting way too young.

  17. Re:Reality mining on TR Picks 10 Emerging Technologies of 08 · · Score: 1

    It's fun, profitable, and best of all: you get to wear a hat with a light on it! Reality mining is the future, folks. Better get on the bandwagon while there's still room.

    It has been around for like two hundred years, and is called Economic Geology.

  18. Re:If its hot, get it local... on FBI Coerced Confession Deemed "Classified" · · Score: 1

    The web is wonderful. But it has more opportunities to be "corrected" than the Soviet Union did during the Stalin's purges of the 30s and 40s.

    Actually, in Soviet Union the web "corrected" YOU!

  19. There is a simple solution... on Solving DRM in the BitTorrent Age · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...the film producers just have to create one single copy of the movie, and sell it to the highest bidder.

    Starting bid: whatever it takes to recover the investment.

  20. I have plenty of those materials at home... on Material With Negative Refractive Index Created · · Score: 1

    They are called mirrors.

  21. The usual way to find the way on Ants Use Pedometers to Find Home · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yo may also take a look to my own simulator of Ant's food-gathering behaviour:

    http://www.geocities.com/chamonate/hormigas/antfar m

    It tries to emulate the usual ants, that find the food and the way back using pheromone traces.
