  1. Re:Hoax on Ukrainian Attack Dolphins Are On the Loose · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hah, that's just what a militarily trained Ukrainian dolphin trying to throw us off his trail would say.

  2. Re:I didn't catch that... on Ask Slashdot: Typing Advice For a Guinness World Record Attempt? · · Score: 5, Funny

    <movietrailervoice>"In a world where all words are five letters... one man can make the difference between brilliance and darkness..."</movietrailervoice>

    "Innna world where allll words arrre fiive lttrs... onnne mannn cannn maake theee dfrnc betwn brlnc annnd drkns..."

  3. Re:Care to Elaborate? on Dice Buys Geeknet's Media Business, Including Slashdot, In $20M Deal · · Score: 1

    There's a Firefox add-on called "Kotaku Fix" that I think originated in Chrome which restores the Gawker commenting system to something similar to how it was a few iterations ago.

  4. Re:Light Table - Why it's Cool on Light Table IDE Finds Funding Success · · Score: 1

    Spyder is the best that I've found. Auto-completion, documentation, style checking, and more.

  5. GPS on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Monitor Traffic? · · Score: 1

    The best way would probably be to install GPS transmitters on all vehicles, and then write some code to plot them all on a map, but the price and privacy issues would probably prove this too difficult.

    A second option would be to point video cameras at a stretch of road and then use some image recognition software to get the information you need.

    Another option would be to get a group of small children, have them play the game where they pick a color or model of car and count how many they say, and then just tally their results.

  6. In my day... on Android Hackers Honing Skills In Russia · · Score: 1, Funny

    Bah, you kids and your silly Russian hackers. Back in my day, when an android got hacked, it ended up going on a spree and killing half the town.

  7. Re:Don't confuse with Ward Christensen on Interview With Ward Cunningham · · Score: 2

    Also don't confuse him with Howard Cunningham, father of Ron Howard on Happy Days.

  8. Re:I think you're confusing geeks & nerds on Book Review: Fitness For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Exactly. They'd be a workout geek if they had to have every shiny new piece of exercise equipment.

  9. Re:Shill problem on Slashdot Coming Attractions · · Score: 1

    Do people really need to farm for mod points? I've had mod points every day (with less than a full day between sets of 5) since Thanksgiving. I don't even always use them all. They just keep coming.

  10. Re:Kinda digging Python on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    You could always do:
    return [a - 1, a + 1][a > 0]
    but that isn't necessarily very Pythonic.

  11. Re:Sigh on Sorry, IT: These 5 Technologies Belong To Users · · Score: 2

    Do the digits on a watch tell me the time, but the electronics merely enable the digits... or does the watch tell me what time it is?

    Does the watch manage your time, or does the watch enable you to manage your time?

  12. Re:Hmm... on OnStar Terms and Conditions Update Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 5, Informative

    Time to get a screwdriver and cut out the cancer that OnStar has become.

    I believe you can just pull a dedicated fuse, actually.

  13. Re:Warranty on Sandy Bridge-E CPUs Too Hot For Intel? · · Score: 1

    Again, these are most likely not the kind of people who will improperly their CPU, but accidents do happen

    I improperlied my CPU once, and it pressed charges...

  14. Re:Speedometers/Tachometers/etc. on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    My car has both but I exclusively use the digital; the 20mph gap between major lines on the analog makes it too difficult to quickly determine the speed.

  15. Re:not that its in any way comparable on LulzSec Offers to Take Revenge On Sega Hackers · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he's already one foot below the ground?

  16. Re:TFA Is Sparse On Information on Daily Sony Hacking Occurs On Schedule · · Score: 2

    As someone who enjoys reading articles, I found the summary to be too good.

  17. Re:Now what Google needs is an Auto-Airbrush App on Google Talk Enables Video Chat On Android Phones · · Score: 1

    Then you get the makeup option.

  18. Re:Categories/directories on Netflix To Start Creating Original Content · · Score: 1

    They also need a "random video" button a la Wikipedia's "random article" button for those of us who enjoy finding something new and unexpected.

  19. Re:Not enough variety? on Activision Axes Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    FoFiX is a Frets on Fire mod, and is even better.

  20. Re:Rather like on Scientifically, You Are Likely In the Slowest Line · · Score: 1

    I sort the items myself as I place them on the conveyor to lessen the chances of that happening.

  21. Re:Definition vs. Regulation on Is Net Neutrality Really Needed? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the best solution would just be to define "Internet Access" as a utility that provides unrestricted use of an Internet connection.

    Mod this guy up. It's not called buying a car if all you get for your money is a set of tires and a gas cap.

  22. Re:Using TOR? on 'Anonymous' WikiLeaks Proponents Not So Anonymous · · Score: 1

    think of it like shooting an car at your neighbour through a chain link fence. You will end up with a still alive neighbour, a destroied fence and look like an idiot.

    Just throwing this out there, but does your girlfriend happen to be a clown as well?

  25. Re:Is this story for real? on iPhone Alarm Bug Leads To Mass European Sleep-in · · Score: 1

    I've tried, but my phone enjoys switching between two time zones at its own desire just to mess with me.
