  1. I'm going to monitor my smart TV at the router and see what it connects to, then block those marketing addresses. This should be fun.

  2. Name the ship? on Kristian von Bengston's New Goal: The Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    If he names the ship 'Alice' I'll consider a donation.

  3. You know, being able to triangulate someone's location after a natural disaster might not be a bad thing, in cases of rescue. At least, that's how you justify it, at first. Of course, critical infrastructure for comms pretty much collapsed as soon as the batteries died, generators ran out of diesel, etc. Time is of the essence when deploying your stingrays!

  4. Rover on Sounds Can Knock Drones Out of the Sky · · Score: 1

    Not sure if it will work for all drones, but it pissed the dog off to no end... But seriously, does inverse square law not apply here? What's the range on this? DNRTFA

  5. Rest in Peace, Brave Souls on Challenger, Columbia Wreckage On Public Display For First Time · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I too like to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the quest for scientific achievement, but I have no desire to go look at the coffin. I'd rather watch a nice Imax movie of a shuttle floating over the horizon.

  6. Re:No hardware or software fault? on Pluto Probe Back To Normal, Cause of Snafu Found · · Score: 1

    As long as it isn't a BFRC they're OK with it.

  7. Situational Awareness on Facebook Targets Office Workers With Facebook At Work Service · · Score: 1

    I used Facebook as a situational awareness tool in the workplace. Often times, I would find out what's happening at the workplace through Facebook long before I'd hear it through official channels.

  8. Spirit on Woz Downplays the Significance of Apple's Startup Garage · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What people like to believe in is the spirit of entrepreneurship that Apple and others emulated. The garage isn't so important, the idea of a garage is powerful stuff.

  9. scrubbed. on Technical Hitches Delay Orion Capsule's First Launch · · Score: 2

    Never mind. see you tomorrow

  10. Recycle? on Technical Hitches Delay Orion Capsule's First Launch · · Score: 2

    Have they tried turning it off and on again? Oh, wait. They're actually doing that...

  11. disappoint on Algorithm Distinguishes Memes From Ordinary Information · · Score: 0

    Came here expecting to see "I can has 1st post". I am disappoint

  12. Happy trails on Embedded SIM Design Means No More Swapping Cards · · Score: 1

    Neat, an audit trail that follows you, forever.

  13. Never again on Unreleased 1963 Beatles Tracks On Sale To Preserve Copyright · · Score: 4, Funny

    I, for one, will not ever be giving another cent to Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney. If you find a way to give to just Ringo, I'm in.

  14. Don't be Naive on FTC Drops the Hammer On Maker of Location-Sharing Flashlight App · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is just the tip of the dirty iceberg here. Thousands of apps do this and far worse for your privacy. Caveat Emptor

  15. Alternative message from Cananda Hams on Juno Needs Radio Amateurs! · · Score: 1

    dash dot dash dash, dash dot dash dash, dash dash dot dot

  16. M5 on The Human Brain Project Kicks Off · · Score: 1

    Let's be careful with this project. Dr. Richard Daystrom should not be allowed anywhere near this. But on a serious note, will this computer start with a knowledge base, or will it grow up? And who will teach it?

  17. three? on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1, Funny

    Three button mouse, how quaint.

  18. Cup holder on NYC Is Tracking RFID Toll Collection Tags All Over the City · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does it also chart the size of the soda in your cup holder?

  19. Hey! Eyes up here!

  20. Carousel on Edward Snowden Still Stuck At Airport, May Be Permitted Entry Into Russia Soon · · Score: 5, Funny

    He's just waiting for his luggage to pop out on the carousel

  21. Ballmer at Tanagra? on Say What? Wading Through the Nonsense In Microsoft's Re-Org Memo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shaka. When the walls fell.

  22. Or Not on Google and NASA Snap Up D-Wave Quantum Computer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or Not. I can't tell.

  23. Re:9 out of 10 on Bing Translator Adds Klingon · · Score: 1

    Pity that Slashdot does not let us post pictures.

  24. Hands off! on Bigelow Aerospace Investigating Feasibility of Moon Base for NASA · · Score: 1

    If you do go to the moon, please stay away from the original moon landing sites. You may take pictures and live video of them (to shut up the nutters), but please don't trample those footprints. I may want to gaze on them myself some day.

  25. Jeffersons on Debian 7.0 ('Wheezy') Release Planned For 1st Weekend in May · · Score: 1

    Maybe it was named for Louise Jefferson, from the TV show. Movin' on up!
