  1. Put a code on the receipt on Some LA Coffee Shops Are Taking Wi-Fi Off the Menu · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Each code gets you so much time of wi-fi. If you want more, purchase a second cup of coffee. This would be very easy to implement.

  2. I don't understand the Karma System on Airplanes Unexpectedly Modify Weather · · Score: 0

    I had neutral Karma, then I made the first post here (currently at +4 Funny) and now I am bad karma. Don't know where else to post this question. :) Martin

  3. What wasn't mentioned on Airplanes Unexpectedly Modify Weather · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was this plane belonged to the Mexican Cocaine Cartels, who thought they were being trailed.

  4. Re:This reply smells like feet. on Homer Simpson Named Greatest TV Character · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, but ask any teenager today who Al Bundy was, and you will get a blank stare. Simpsons spans the generations.

  5. I wonder if they will cut the tax... on "Canadian DMCA" Rising From the Dead · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We already pay a special tax on blank DVDs and CDs because of "pirating". If the government passes this bill, do you think they would axe this tax? Would they be required to?

  6. Re:Tom Cruise on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    If you don't believe in the Holy Spirit, then accusing the Holy Spirit does evil is hard to do with a straight face.

    I guess you just failed fifth grade writing! :P

  7. Re:Tom Cruise on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    Congratulations, you just made yourself an ass for assuming!

    I have never read the bible, or any other cult material. I heard that bit on a movie once and liked it.

  8. Re:Tom Cruise on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh, and fuck Jesus.

  9. Re:Tom Cruise on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You realize that by saying that, you can never ever go to heaven, even if you become a born-again. Denial of the holy spirit is the one unforgivable sin. You ok with that?

  10. There is nothing wrong with being spiritual on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1, Insightful

    it's when you start believing that an imaginary being created everything, and when you start brainwashing others to believe it, that I have a problem. All the money that is given to the church could be used to eliminate homelessness or other social problems.

  11. I'm downloading it right now! on The Hurt Locker Producers Sue First 5,000 File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    And so are 1100 people on the torrent. I'm in Canada, so I'm safe at the moment. Hollywood makes more money each year than the year before. These producers need to think of better ways to make money other than gouging us at the theater. If I like the movie, I buy merchandise.

  12. Re:You don't on How To Get a Game-Obsessed Teenager Into Coding? · · Score: 1

    I agree! If it takes him a week to code something simple, he either doesn't get it, or he is not interested. I had open heart surgery in 1983 (age 13) and I could do nothing for 12 weeks but read. I fell in love with computers and started coding like crazy. Gaming is fun, coding is work. Let him chose what he wants to do.

  13. Are you awake? on Most Useful OS For High-School Science Education? · · Score: 1

    "I teach at a high school program for gifted students which emphasizes math, science, and technology." This sounds like any slashdotter's wet dream.

  14. Not in Alberta! on iPad Steering Wheel Mount · · Score: 1

    A new law is going to be passed soon for "distracted drivers". This includes everything from talking on a cell phone to eating while driving. It will be up to the police officer to determine if a driver is distracted. Just having this attached will probably get you a ticket.

  15. Get China to knock it out of the sky on Drifting Satellite Could Knock Out Cable TV · · Score: 2, Informative

    Easy solution.

  16. Re:Make lemonade on Recourse For Draconian Encryption Requirements? · · Score: 1

    That means no health, no pention, no severance, even LESS security, same hours, same wage.

    It's not the same wage. You get a higher hourly rate to compensate for benefits. Manage your money properly, and you're no worse off financially.

  17. Record number of women! on After Discovery's Launch, What's Left For the Shuttle? · · Score: 2, Funny

    How many iPads do you think they brought up?

  18. Check against a SPREADSHEET? on New Litigation Targets 20,000 BitTorrent-Using Downloaders · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wouldn't worry - these guys don't sound like they know much.

  19. Should have changed password right away on Disgruntled Ex-Employee Remotely Disables 100 Cars · · Score: 0, Redundant

    As soon as you fire an employee, change the password! You never know what they can access and how they feel about you. Why take the chance?

  20. I CAN'T HELP YOU on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    BUT I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!

  21. Re:Well, duh. on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For those who got burned, it's not like people weren't warned. If you bought the game, you got what you deserved.

    Does every gamer read /. ? Does every person who buys an automobile research all potential problems? That's not a fair statement.

  22. Re:Make sure you go over the contract very careful on Things To Look For In a Web Hosting Company? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Lawsuits cost money, even if you're in the right.

    You say that again, and I will sue you.

  23. Re:Make sure you go over the contract very careful on Things To Look For In a Web Hosting Company? · · Score: 1

    How can they sue you if you name them publicly? Sounds like a scare tactic to me.

  24. Consider Amazon on Things To Look For In a Web Hosting Company? · · Score: 1

    Amazon has some great cloud services. http://aws.amazon.com/products/ They are incredibly cheap (no minimum costs), and scale instantly.

  25. Re:Business Strategy? on Google, Apple Call Workers' Race & Gender Trade Secrets · · Score: 1

    My point was stated: "That is racist." :)
