  1. Re:Speculation on Snortable Drug 'Replaces' Sleep For Monkeys In Trials · · Score: 2, Informative
  2. Re:But can it *replace* sleep? on Snortable Drug 'Replaces' Sleep For Monkeys In Trials · · Score: 1

    The thing about this one is, it isn't a stimulant. It's a hormone that seems to have much to do with sleep. Instead of forcing the brain to stay awake, it seems to use the brain's own systems for measuring sleepiness.

  3. Re:Only one thing to do then .. on Another Man Dies After Marathon Gaming Session · · Score: 1

    I'm a child, you insensitive clod!

  4. Re:what if they miss hteir shot on Nukes Against Earth-Impacting Asteroids · · Score: 1

    On the gripping hand, I'm pretty sure nukes aren't designed to just explode on impact.

  5. Re:I for one blah blah on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 1

    But do they mascot for Linux?

  6. Re:Fnord on C.I.A. to Let "Skeletons" Out of its Closet · · Score: 1

    He's referring to the Illuminatus! trilogy.

  7. Re:The list on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 1

    No "lawlz"?

  8. Re:ask if you can call them back on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 1

    Improved version: Get their number, post on /b/, claim that it's Rabbit-chan.

  9. Re:THNTD on Big Red Button Disasters? · · Score: 1

    The switches that have this sort of security usually turn arm manglers on. The safety buttons on dangerous equipment are almost invariably easy to use.

  10. Re:Perl versus Python on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    Yes, that sounds quite likely. Please disregard the first line in my former post.

  11. Re:Perl versus Python on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    Actually, 4.999... == 5. It's easier to explain with 0.999 = 1, though, so that's what I'll do.
    1 = 1/3.
    1/3 = 0.333...
    0.333... * 3 = 0.999...
    1/3 * 3 = 3/3 = 1

  12. Re:It's all about GTA on Video Racing Games May Spur Risky Driving · · Score: 1

    The catch is that when doing very similar things, it's easy for one set of skills to bleed into another. This is very true. I always find that after playing FPS games, I try to frag clippy when I write something.
  13. Re:I'm still waiting on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 1

    Caffeinated bacon would be a sub-optimal idea, it aims at the wrong user group. What is needed is a caffeinated version of a product already very popular with the main users of caffeine. Slashdot, I present to you ... Caffeinated Ramen.

  14. Re:Look to the past... on Using AI to Monitor Kids Online · · Score: 1
    It seems you are being seduced by a dirty old man, and I am afraid that is something I can not allow to happen. Do you want help?

    a) Get help fending off the dirty old man.

    b) Just chat with the dirty old man without help.

  15. Re:I don't get it... on Father of Internet Warns Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Perhaps October finally has come? This technology could be used for locking AOL users out of the interwebs, or at least the good parts of it.

  16. Re:Comments on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    The real question is: Does it run Linux? If I remember correctly, the laser weapons in Star Wars actually fired plasma. Laser has a strange tendency to move at the speed of light.

  17. Re:Hard to explain on Stallman — 20 Years of Explaining Free Software · · Score: 1

    What about liberal software then? It's still quite unclear what it refers to, but at least it retains the meaning of free without drawing connections to price.

  18. Re:So let the flame wars begin! on The Birth of vi · · Score: 2, Funny

    ed is the standard text editor!

  19. Re:Patent ruling is waste of resources on Researchers Work Around Hepatitis Drug Patent · · Score: 1

    Nonono. You see, you usually get an education and make your product before you profit. Profit! Food. Education. Invention. ??? seems a bit unorthodox to me.

  20. Re:Suit up guys! on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 1

    If the DOD focused some effort on wireless teledildonics as a weapon, the world would be a better place.

    Don't you think that might cause a world war that never ends? Perhaps, but who would care? I think there might be some chance of this working. If we just find some frequency (sound or electromagnetic) that makes the right nerves go crazy, we're on the right track. After all, we just need to find the fundamental frequency of penis. If the brown note deserves funding, I say this deserves some too!

    Untrue! Where I come from, I seem to recall that we spell it "kulør".

  23. Re:Rights? on Pirate Radio Stations Challenge Feds · · Score: 1

    Whether or not it is anyone's fundamental right to broadcast stuff depends on the nature of humanity and the universe. If it is such that the "ether" is by nature meant for us to use, and we by nature have the right to use it as we please, we certainly have been denied our rights so far. If, on the other hand, we assume that we from the start have no rights and can only do that which we have later gained the right to, the whole thing changes dramatically. We must ask ourselves if freedoms are an inalienable part of humanity or a collection of fleeting concepts that can be removed from us. The logical extremes here are, of course, anarcy and fascism.

    Neat. Too bad it refuses to show the last two pages.

    Oh, come on. They had that space ship since Roswell, and they gave it to a bunch of geeks. What is the chance they didn't at one point reverse-engineer the computers and make a compiler for it?
