  1. Re:There's a Reason for That on B-2 Stealth Bomber Gets Upgrade, Joins the '90s · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many years is it behind the strategic bombers that our enemies, the "Terrorists" have?

  2. Re:Harmonics on Wood Density May Explain Stradivarius Secret · · Score: 1

    this is slashdot, since when do we have women?

    vi?

  4. Re:Remote images? on User Not Found, Email Drops Silently · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ah, but most people don't read email using a client, they use a browser and a html frontend provided by their service (gmail, yahoo, msn) in which case the browser will run javascript.

  5. Re:There is no free lunch on Latest "Green" Power Generation — Your Feet · · Score: 1

    Why not put solar panels over the paths, turn it into a covered walkway, I get to walk in the shade and you get your energy, sounds like a win win to me.

    It's like a university putting solar panels over their parking lots, they get a lot of power and people get to park in the shade. Makes everybody happier.

  6. Re:GPS Shutoff on Lockheed Martin Awarded GPS III · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Except international airlines don't rely on gps, a lot don't even use it, due to the risk of selective availability. Don't know about ships, but I'm pretty sure there are other ship navigation systems in place. It is a very probably thing for the US to do and we have done it before.

  7. Re:Their secret revealed... on A Walk Through the Hard Drive Recovery Process · · Score: 1

    have a wedding

  8. Re:pinball is the video game for old people on The Last Pinball Machine Factory · · Score: 1

    I just don't get the tv/movie based games, my favorite machine was firepower, really nice play and before some of the weirder bells and whistles.

    I also find fixing the game to be part of the fun, especially when the only service manual you have is for a different game that is closely related. Always check the connectors first, tin on tin, wonderful stuff, but the game is great.

  9. Re:Solid State is vulnerable to damage as well on FAA Mandates Major Aircraft "Black Box" Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Except in a proximity fuse it only has to work once, and if it doesn't work it blows up anyway when it hits something. Not exactly a good comparison.

  10. Re:Review summary on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 2, Informative

    the two finger scrolling and right click feature has been around since the powerbook g4's and even in some of the later ibook g4's

  11. Re:AMPS has FAR more coverage than GSM. on Analog Cell Phone Network Shuts Down Monday · · Score: 1

    ewwwwwww

    get a license and go with ham radio, best coverage of anything, and if you have an autopatch setup you can even make phone calls

  12. Re:It's the people, not the planes. on Birds Give a Lesson to Plane Designers · · Score: 2, Funny

    nah if you could automate the process, say with a 3d printer and some fancy robotics you could probably get that down to only 10 or 20 thousand years

  13. Re:Too busy on Open Source DRM Solutions? · · Score: 1

    my mother is a voting machine you insensitive clod

  14. Re:USB power, that's not the question. on BitMicro Takes Wraps Off 832 GB Flash Drive · · Score: 2, Funny

    yes i would shoot them, in the foot

    theres a difference between shooting somebody and killing them

    can i have your life please?

  17. Re:Ham's day is over, probably on Ham Radio Operators Are Heroes In Oregon · · Score: 1

    satellite phones aren't exactly gonna work, the satelite phone system IRC is still based on the land line system and land based stations to work properly (the better to bill you my precious) little nextel cell walkie talkies ain't gonna cut it either if the base it out, the other problem is that when a disaster occurs and cell phones do work everybody and his great aunt starts calling their dog to tell them they're fine, system gets overloaded

    2m and 440 don't need any infrastructure, 10 and 20 meters are still there, I have backup power for my transmitter that will last for hours of transmit, and I have a crow bar that would work great for extracting car batteries

  18. Re:Fuck Everything, We're Doing GDDR5 on Samsung to Produce Faster Graphics Memory · · Score: 1

    i almost skipped this thinking that the only ones who posted comments that length were the gay story trolls

    in scrolling i noticed that you actually mentioned something the article did so i read it, that was amazing, thank you

  19. Re:Space issues on Sony's Flash-Based Notebook Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    agreed, a small protable machine running something lightweight (not vista) is great for getting things done when you don't have access to a desktop, or when a larger laptop doesn't make sense, it doesn't take a powerhouse for a few ssh sessions or lightweight text editors

    true it can't keep up with bigger laptops, but it isn't really designed to

    you and the rest of slashdot has failed me, i read this story thinking "oh cool i can't wait to read the comments about what people did with their chem sets when they were young" but alas, no dice, you have to start talking about freedom and US politics.
