  1. oblig. on Venter Institute Claims Patent on Synthetic Life · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our synthetic minimal overlords

  2. Re:Editorial Request (Please Read on June 28th) on iPhone Release Date Is June 29 · · Score: 1

    Well, because it's got the word Apple on it. Insane brand loyalty, like my deranged unwillingness to use an NVidea graphics card despite not having any bad experiences with them.

  3. My opinion on The Big Bang Vs. the Big Rumble · · Score: 1

    I'm still chosing to believe in the Big Bang and my own personal, god not included, theory of how everything was made out of nothing (which may or may not be scientifically plausable).

    Mainly because I haven't bothered to try to understand this "big rumble" thing.

    Just my two generic, low value coins.

  4. because... on 'Pirates' Outsells 'Matrix' in High-Def Showdown · · Score: 1

    ...the fact that the matrix is an older film than pirates has nothing to do with the sales figures

  5. what wasn't mentioned... on A Million Zunes Sold · · Score: 1

    was that 990,000 of these were sold to Microsoft's president of the Entertainment and Devices Division

  6. Re:TFA (someone said it was /.'ed) on Simple Comm Technique Beats Quantum Crypto · · Score: 1
  7. old on Simple Comm Technique Beats Quantum Crypto · · Score: 1

    i'm sure i heard this story about a year or so ago. why is it appearing now?

  8. Re:Zionist Propaganda on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the logic is that if we don't teach it, then we cannot possible repeat it?

  9. new tag on Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    /. needs a "fuckyoujackthompson" tag.

  10. Re:Why text when you can talk? on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 1

    i'm guessing that many slashdotters are uncomfortable in spoken conversations. for them, text messaging is much easier.

  11. Oblig. Re:How to make a Zelda Game on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 1

    11. ???
    12. Profit!

  12. Re:have you considered on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    lol i do find the CAPSLOCK key useful at times though, so it's there for the minority of us that find a use for it.

  13. have you considered on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    perhaps the lights are there for a reason? for example, without typing i have no way of knowing wheter CAPSLOCK is on or not, unless i look at the light. if there was no reason for the light, it probably wouldn't be there.

  14. exception on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    no, the teachers are allowed to do this sort of stuff. they don't play video games.

  15. our sysadmin... on Why Doesn't Microsoft Have A Cult Religion? · · Score: 1

    ...loves microsoft. he's even blocked users from typing words such as "linux" and "apple". one guy even brought a macbook in with him one day and the Free Thinking alarms went off. shortly afterwards he was dragged out of the room by guards armed with vista's UAC. we haven't seen him since.

  16. Re:Meh on iPod/iPhone Nano With Touch Panel? · · Score: 1

    Although it doesn't say that haptic controls will be implemented in the article, it does say that it should be easy to do so. So it may still be possible to have one of these which you can control without having to look at the screen. How easy to use compared to the current interface I don't know, but it may still be possible. Just my two generic low value coins.

  17. Going straight for the big one on Mouse Brain Simulated Via Computer · · Score: 1

    Surely it would have made sense to try to simulate a less intelegent life form first, like perhaps a dolphin or a human.

  18. Confused on Student Arrested for Writing Essay · · Score: 1

    So am I understanding the article correctly? Was this kid punished because the teachers had a slight suspision that he was behaving slightly similarly to the Virginia Tech shooter, and therefore was highly likely to cause VT2 at their school? That's how I understood the article. Did I missunderstand it, because that just sounds like complete bollocks. But then I've heard stupider things.

  19. Re:It's HIV not AIDS on Human Blood May Contain A Cure For AIDS · · Score: 1

    thanx for the explanation, i think i understand what you mean.

  20. Re:It's HIV not AIDS on Human Blood May Contain A Cure For AIDS · · Score: 1

    oh. i always thought that AIDS was caused by HIV, and thus curing HIV cured AIDS. i'm not a medical expert, so am i wrong then?

  21. Usefull on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    How incredably usefull. I don't know why I didn't think of this. I'm writing a novel at the moment and was playing about with methods of the characters getting from russia to canada without going by plane. Boats are too slow. As this novel is set about 20 years in the future (+- about 5 years) I can use this tunnel. Thanx Soviets!

  22. Re:Look at a map for your answer. on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, you don't throw together a $12 billion proposal and not take into account such things. You never know with these soviets...
  23. User Agent Switcher on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 1

    I've seen many a site like these. I can't normally access them with Firefox, yet when I change my User Agent, and pretend to be visiting the site with IE, most of them work perfectly. For these it is simply a case of them not knowing their sites are compatible with Firefox, and not wanting to take the risk of it looking terrible. The only exception to this that I can remember is Windows Update. That doesn't work without IE.

  24. Re:What's the fourth main area? on China Systematically Developing New Technologies · · Score: 2, Funny

    they can't reveal the fifth area. if they did then people would know the step that comes before profit. we can't be having that.

  25. Re:Why should it? on Gran Paradiso Alpha 3 · · Score: 1

    lol. if only it would let me moderate that comment as funny. as you can tell by my id, i'm kinda a n00b here.
