  1. Think of it as breaking it on How Can I Make Testing Software More Stimulating? · · Score: 1

    As a software analyst and a QA engineer, if you think of the software you write as if it were someone else's (preferably someone you know is a poor coder), test the software with the objective of breaking it, and finding those loopholes which will allow you to use the software in ways it wasn't designed to be used. It makes a very monotonous task so much more enjoyable.

  2. SpiderOak on Web-Based Private File Storage? · · Score: 1

    I can recommend SpiderOak. It is a fully encrypted web storage service, and the first 2GB are free! then its $10 a month for the first 100GB. I don't think you can beat that.

  3. Derby on $25,000 of Communications Gear In a $500 Car · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But can it crush cars?

  4. tmnt on All Humans Are Mutants, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    I guess we'll have to wait a few million years for teenage mutant ninja turtles to walk the streets of NYC... Splinter may come earlier, have you seen the size of those rats in NYC?

  5. Hacking on Personalized In-Game Advertising In Upcoming Titles · · Score: 4, Funny

    This may lead to a new generation of hackers: people who use their spare time to patch the games to remove those insidious ads. Should we call them adkers?

  6. Customer Service on Verizon Sued After Tech Punches Customer In Face · · Score: 1

    It appears that the verizon tech has got a case of the BOFH. -- on a side note, customer service these days leaves a lot to be desired...

  7. Add it to coffee and.... on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 1

    I'll have a large with an extra dose of non-sleepy genes!

  8. Took a PHD to figure this out? on Facial Expressions Are "Not Global" · · Score: 2

    Anyone in the MMORPG world could've summarized this!

  9. not really useful? on New Company Seeks to Bring Semantic Context To Numbers · · Score: 1

    To me this doesnt look like theres a real need to do this. A lot of research has gone into getting a bunch of 0s and 1s organized in a way that can represent text. It appears counter-intuitive to go back to numbers... why dont they just do a wiki?

  10. Sun's genius on Ballmer, IBM Surprised By Oracle-Sun Deal · · Score: 1

    Sun was in serious danger of repeating a Microsoft-Yahoo dance, but the Oracle deal makes me think their board actually thinks about these deals unlike Yahoo...

  11. Night on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 1

    1-3AM, enough said!

  12. EMP Anyone? on Energy-Beaming Space Collector To Also Alter Weather? · · Score: 1

    This would also result in all your electronics to stop working indefinitely should you find yourself in the middle of the beam. Goldeye anyone?

  13. My eyes! on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    This whole /. disagree mail segment seems to have outlived its hype. On a side note, the text on that background really hurt my eyes after reading... Anyone volunteer to write a /. an email about it? It would probably be featured here on the next one.
