  1. Re:First Flu? on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 1

    I'm no hospital worker, but I just voluntarily received my first flu shot. My arm was sore the next day. That was the only side effect. (This was a little over a week ago).

  2. We're still trying? on Using a Treadmill and Wiimotes To Run and Fly in Aion · · Score: 1

    A game the gets you in shape was invented years ago: Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). I ran cross country during the same time frame that I played that game, and running 7 miles didn't wear me out as much as an hour on expert mode.

  3. Nothing to see here on BrainPort Lets the Blind "See" With Their Tongues · · Score: 1

    I don't know if I'm the only one who's absolutely amazed by this.

  4. But with WalMart on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    With Wal Mart prices are LOWER. Maybe not for companies, but as a consumer Wal Mart's monopoly is a good thing for me.

  5. It isn't instant. on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 5, Informative

    And humans still have tailbones.

  6. Re:And they wonder why..... on Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled · · Score: 1

    They sell it as a kit. And I wouldn't pay (or trust) anyone else to take the rims off my bike. And I do know a local shop that will powdercoat rims for $50 each.

  7. Re:And they wonder why..... on Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled · · Score: 3, Informative

    Honda sells a special edition motorcycle (CBR1000RR Repsol edition) for $1000 more than the original, even though the only difference is the color of the plastics and rims. You can buy the plastics from Honda separately for $500, and pay a local shop $100 to paint the rims. GM isn't the only one who charges more for a special edition when it can be had for cheaper some other way.

  8. I'm not amazed... on Windows 7 Hits Build 7600 (Possible RTM) · · Score: 1

    I liked Vista just fine. The basic version came installed on my laptop. But I wanted Windows Media Center to connect to my Xbox, so I downloaded the RC of 7. And honestly, the only difference I've noticed is the ability to change the background at time intervals. I didn't think Vista was bad (way more stable than XP on my desktop), and I don't think 7 is anything impressive. What am I missing?

  9. How long was the wait? on Hospital Confirms Steve Jobs's Liver Transplant · · Score: 1, Interesting

    My non-existent medical knowledge tells me there's a long wait for organ transplants. I wonder if Steve received accelerated care thanks to his status.

  10. Fine for four wheels on Broke Counties Turn Failing Roads To Gravel · · Score: 1

    Gravel roads are fine if you have 4 wheels, but if you're on two wheels (specifically a sport bike or sport tourer), they can be extremely hazardous.

  11. For starters on MPAA Says Teachers Should Camcord For Fair Use · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It might help if we didn't call it "ripping."

  12. Skynet fits on 'Cybot' Development For Network Defense · · Score: 0

    Does no one learn from the movies?!

  13. Killed it for me on Facebook Scrambles To Contain ToS Fallout · · Score: 0

    I deleted my Facebook account over this. I gave 24 hour notice to the people on my friends list and that was it.

  14. Re:Irrelevant on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    It works for what I need, which is essentially music, Firefox, and Word.

  15. Re:Irrelevant on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I use Windows. The reason being that I don't want to spend my time learning how to use an OS; I just want it to work. My version of Vista has yet to crash and I have no complaints.

  16. It's being introduced on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 2, Informative

    The law is being introduced, it hasn't passed. I doubt it will, so it was probably created solely so a congressman/woman could say they introduced a bill to protect your privacy.

  17. Re:My old car is fine on Feds To Offer Cash For Your Clunker · · Score: 1

    Addendum: Not too many cars today that are readily available in the US get better than 34mpg.

  18. My old car is fine on Feds To Offer Cash For Your Clunker · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My '93 Corolla gets 34mpg. Not too many cars made today get better than that.

  19. Re:How about this instead on Keeping Older Drivers Behind the Wheel · · Score: 0

    Punish teenagers for what they did when they were young and stupid, and make it so they can never redeem themselves? Great life lesson there.

  20. The minimum age is 16? on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 0

    I've watched every day of the Olympics so far on NBC's broadcast, and at one point I remember the announcers saying the minimum age was 16 to compete. However, when one of the Chinese gymnasts went up to perform an event, under her name and country, they put up "Age: 15." I don't remember the gymnast or the event, just that it confused me.

  21. They already have that... on Parents To Block Kids From Joining MySpace · · Score: 0

    "...a 'closed' section for users under age 18 so only their established online friends can visit their pages." The difference between 'closed' and the already-existing 'private' function is...?

  22. Re:The beginning of the end on RIAA College Litigations Getting A Bumpy Ride · · Score: 0

    True enough. However, this is the only issue I've heard of him being involved in that I care about. Being that 100% of what I know about him is him supporting something I oppose, that's enough reason to vote for anyone but him. Odds are he'll stay in office, but it won't stop me from voting for someone else.

  23. Re:The beginning of the end on RIAA College Litigations Getting A Bumpy Ride · · Score: 0

    My representative co-sponsored that bill. Next election, I'm voting him out.

  24. What, what? on MIT's SAT Math Error · · Score: 0

    1380? I scored that, and I'm terrible at math. I always thought MIT was way out of my league, but I guess not.

  25. Not so quiet anymore on Intel to Take Online Suggestions for New Chips · · Score: 0

    Slashdot should never say something was done "quietly". Once it's been on Slashdot, the quietness ends.
