  1. Re:Excellent; on Canada To Stop Producing Pennies In 2013 · · Score: 1

    AHHH. My $10,000 in sales is off by 11 cents. I'm so totally screwed. AHHHH. The reality is that cash sales never balance anyways. There's significant error in the cash handling process as it is.

  2. Get rid of printers on Campaign To Remove Paper From Offices · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've always said the only way to go paperless is to not have printers in the office. None. You need to take away the ability to print and only then will people adapt.

  3. Re:That's nearly one hectoyear! on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 1

    In Canada even my dad is metric oriented enough to get ticked off when they measure snow depth in cm. It should be in mm.

  4. Re:Cut out the intermediary step. on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 2

    Then do stand alone. It doesn't seem to bother them that much.

  5. Re:Not again... on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 4, Funny

    My three year old got on my computer and sold my car, bought some drugs, and posted nude photos of herself on Facebook. But seriously, what's with the FUD over electronics and children? Get over yourself.

  6. Re:NO on Is Safe, Green Thorium Power Finally Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd love one in my backyard. /until I go to sell the place

  7. Re:So ban fatties from driving... on The World's Fastest-Growing Cause of Death Is Pollution From Car Exhaust · · Score: 1

    Especially those bus lanes that sit empty while everyone else is practically parked and spewing extra exhaust the whole time.

  8. Re:Stockphotos on Instagram Wants To Sell Users' Photos Without Notice · · Score: 1

    Judge Judy rocks.

  9. Re:It is time. on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    It has been time for a long time, but it isn't going to happen.

  10. Re:With Regard to Microsoft? I Have One Bit of Adv on Microsoft To Apple: Don't Take Your Normal 30% Cut of Office For iOS · · Score: 1

    So how do you get one of these great jobs? Where do I apply? I think I'd be very good at supporting MS on message boards.

  11. Re:I'll be the first to say... on Is It Time For the US To Ditch the Dollar Bill? · · Score: 3, Funny

    They spread em and then you chuck loonies ($1 coins) and if you can get them stuck in the slot they'll give you a poster or something. As much as I like naked women I still can't figure out how they came up with this stupid game.

  12. Re:First 1080p Cameras Cost A Bunch... on On Demo, a $25 1080p Camera Module For Raspberry Pi · · Score: 2

    Yeah. I was on a movie set the other day and all the cameramen were using only their iPhones. Oh wait, that was at a kids indoor soccer game.

  13. Re:don't you have ovens? on This Is What Happens When You Deep Fry a Frozen Turkey · · Score: 1

    You're injecting them with butter, but it "doesn't come out greasy or anything like that". Seriously?

  14. Archimedes would be proud on This Is What Happens When You Deep Fry a Frozen Turkey · · Score: 1

    Does it not make sense to put in the raw turkey while filling with oil to get the volume right?

  15. Re:tld on World Governments Object To New gTLDs · · Score: 1

    That's wildly different than www.australiasucks.com

  16. Re:What's wrong with Baby? on World Governments Object To New gTLDs · · Score: 1

    Having ALL addresses under .baby is just fine, and is equivalent to having baby.com.

  17. Re:What's wrong with Baby? on World Governments Object To New gTLDs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So Baby.com is ok, but Johnson.baby isn't? Once every company grabs up a gTLD it'll be the same as what it used to be. Instead of 'ABCD.com' it'll be 'XYZ.ABCD'. Big deal.

  18. Pegasus on Invisibility Tech Demo Tomorrow In NYC · · Score: 2

    Now we can finally catch up with Romulan technology.

  19. Re:They don't need to imitate humans on Getting Small UAVs To Imitate Human Pilots Flying Through Dense Forests · · Score: 1

    I've seen the onboard videos of goshawks flying through the woods. If humans could do that they'd have to take an industrial strength anti-emetic beforehand.

  20. Re:Not in Alabama on Amazon.com: Earth's Biggest Wine Cellar? · · Score: 1

    We have huge selection in Alberta, and our drinking age is only 18. We've got a few liquor stores in Edmonton and Sherwood Park that are absolutely huge (like a small WalMart). There's a great beer store in Edmonton, Sherbrooke Liquor, that's got the largest selection of beer you'll ever see. Costco, for example, has liquor stores attached to their normal stores. There are liquor stores on every street corner and they're open all the time so you don't have to worry about not being able to get drunk on a holiday. For being the most conservative province in the country they at least we have the liquor laws right.

  21. Re:Foxconn is typical of the Chinese on Foxconn Begins To Assemble Its Robot Army · · Score: 1

    Having worked at a few Mom and Pop stores in my life I have no sympathy for them getting run out of business. The vast majority of them have zero business sense. I've heard people go on and on about supporting some local small businesses but they generally have terrible customer service and I won't go back.

  22. Graphics problems on Ask Slashdot: Best 32-Bit Windows System In 2012? · · Score: 1

    We have some crappy in-house database software that will only run properly if the graphics depth is set to 16bit. Without that change the window rendering gets all messed up. I never ever would have guessed that's what the problem was.

  23. Re:Keep flogging the corpse. on Little Miss Sunshine Screenwriter Gets Nod For Star Wars: Episode VII · · Score: 1

    You have absolutely no idea how much work goes into computer animation. There were just as many talented artists who laboured just as hard to make the CGI effects in all of those movies. It isn't as if they just laid off their art staff and hired a bunch of talentless computer geeks.

  24. Re:Disney made Kill Bill on Little Miss Sunshine Screenwriter Gets Nod For Star Wars: Episode VII · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I for one would love to see Quentin Tarantino write and direct a Star Wars movie.

  25. Re:better yet on Man Arrested For Photo of Burning Poppy On Facebook · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hate Illinois Nazis.
