  1. Re:if you have a PC you don't need a console on Microsoft Promo: a PC and Xbox In Every Dorm Room · · Score: 1
    You'd lose so much money on the resale value that you might not be able to afford the $700 PC when you're done. You might make $550 on the PC and $150 on the cheap base version xbox.

    Also, I highly doubt the lawyers didn't include "one offer per person" in the fine print.

  2. Re:Monitors are cheap, so why not? on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    I've probably saved a few reams of paper since I got my second monitor too. No need to print it out if I can just put it up on the second screen.

  3. Re:Kind of silly. on The 'Three Ton' Hard Drive Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Or if you were keen on the "crush" idea, you can pick up a 6 ton shop press for less than $100, or go overboard with a 20 ton press for around $200. They're handy to have around if you do any significant auto repair jobs too.

  4. Re:Inexcusable! on Apple Sues Samsung Over Galaxy Phones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    Ford to sue Chevy for producing cars with "4 wheels, headlights, and seats."

  5. Re:OMFG WFT *is* that? on Couple Sends Record Player Wedding Invitations · · Score: 1

    OMFG how does it make sound without electricity?

    You can't explain that.

    -Bill O'Reilly.

  6. Re:...advantages outweigh the problems on New Houses Killing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    I'd be more concerned if a new house was being constructed WITHOUT a radiant barrier. Looks like the problem is the wi-fi, not the house.

  7. Re:Eliza ? on Can't Get a Real Girlfriend? Get a "Cloud" Girlfriend · · Score: 3, Funny
    And the horses are men too.

    Long story...

  8. Re:watch this video on Japan Raises Nuclear Plant Crisis Severity To 7 · · Score: 1

    It's a little different when you see that the meter is giving a PER HOUR reading and that flight takes around 6 hours.... Also, pausing it at around 1:18 shows 40 uSv/h as I read it. It would still take 7 years at that rate to get 100mSv which is the lowest ONE year dose linked to cancer. I think that is certainly enough to be concerned about. Then again, I'm just a radiation expert on the internet, not in real life.

  9. Re:Which date? on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    It does seem silly. I imagine it comes from the way we tell people dates. It's September 11th to most people in the US. Other countries tend to say the 11th of September. Us lazy Americans found out we could eliminate "the" and "of" and still communicate the date.

  10. Re:How about we also require Prob & Stat? on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 2

    Statistics was the only class I took in college that I wished I had taken early in high school. I might have gone to a different college!

  11. Re:Performance? I'd rather worry about comfort on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    Did you ever think that some people may use their mice a lot more than you? I've got about 10+ hours a day at the computer, hand on the mouse 90% of that time doing CAD work. I need 100% accuracy 100% of the time, or the mouse is completely worthless to me. Even after cleaning every few months I'm lucky to get 2 years out of a mouse.

  12. Re:Postcard from Future on Americans Favor Moratorium On New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    I just got a postcard from 2311. They said stop using postcards, do you have any idea how expensive stamps are now? And I'd go ahead and kill the inventor of the postcard time machine before he gets a chance to invent it. Apparently, we can only send these things to slashdot users and any questions relating to that just starts his rant on his low 8 digit member number....

  13. Re:Nobody ever... on Internet Explorer From 1.0 To 9.0 · · Score: 1

    I take it one step further and I don't even read the summary. Based on the title, I'm assuming this story is about how the Internet is more powerful than the 8.9 earthquake in Japan.

  14. Re:Lets face it on Potentially Great Sci-fi Films Still Due In 2011 · · Score: 2

    People forget that most movies are for entertainment, not enlightenment. That said, I go to the movies to see explosions, ridiculous plot twists, and half naked skanks. There's no need to make a movie as realistic as possible when I have such an amazing world to live in already.

  15. Man, the recession is hitting everyone on Brown Dwarf Hits Record Low · · Score: 0

    There's goes my retirement, I had everything invested in Brown Dwarf.

  16. Re:How many by choice? on Bing Becomes No.2 Search Engine at 4.37% · · Score: 1

    And what percentage of searches are people typing google into their default Bing search engine?

  17. Re:But, but... on New Internal Cavity X-ray Technology for Airports · · Score: 1

    I still frequently argue that acting excited about a strip search is the best way to avoid a strip search.

  18. Re:"Sure, the selection isn't great yet..." on Watch Out Netflix, Amazon Streaming Video to Prime Users · · Score: 2

    I'd gladly pay at least twice what Netflix currently charges for streaming if I could get their entire collection that way.

    Given that my current cable bill is over $50, I'd pay well over twice Netflix's regular rates if I could get their full catalog completely ad free and on demand. And I'd tell the cable company to keep their overpriced ad-supported content.

  19. Re:Don't panic on Two Huge Holes In the Sun Spotted · · Score: 1

    Good news is, Corona is directly correlated with my ability to get lucky. Enough Corona to fill the sun would surely increase my odds.

  20. Re:I can live with it on Kyocera and Sprint Now Hyping a Dual-Screen Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Whenever I'm feeling nostalgic, I look at porn on my multi-monitor setup and stretch the window so all the good parts are split up. I'll setup all the tabs in firefox beforehand so I can flip through them in sequential order. The best part is the add-on that makes the page-turn noise whenever I switch tabs. I still live with my mother, so there's that too..

  21. Re:A "problem?" on Prison Cell Phone Smuggling Out of Control · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is, how is it that criminals have no problems smuggling whatever they want into prison, when good law abiding citizens can't take a fucking pair of nail clippers on an airplane without the swat team coming out?

  22. Re:Benihana (of Tokyo) Contact Information on Blogger Sued By Restaurant For Bad Review · · Score: 1

    According to Benihana, that's not just "another branch", it's an entirely separate corporate entity. So Benihana of Tokyo, or the benihanagroup.com contact page would be the correct place to voice your complaints.

  23. Re:filter crap on Google Hiring Android Devs To Close the 'Apps Gap' · · Score: 1

    Haha, I totally. Except this one time I never never but soon I will because even a broken clock is write.

  24. Re:Wrong way to think about it on Sensor Measures In Fingertips If Driver Is Drunk · · Score: 1

    How about mandatory PRISON time on the first offense. Paying money is just an inconvenience. Missing 1 month of work makes an impact.

  25. Re:Makes sense. on Official — Economic Crash Not Computers' Fault · · Score: 5, Insightful
    My question, now that we have this report, where are the prosecutions? Surely it's found that certain individuals or corporations share responsibility in creating the situation that caused economic downturn, right? There are mentions of fraud dozens of times throughout the report. Fraud is a crime last I checked. People should be going to jail en masse, from the greedy loan officer that forged paperwork to the upper management that did nothing while supervising it, all the way up to the previous and current Secretary of Treasury if necessary.

    We all get worked up over pictures of oil covered birds in the marshes of Louisiana, yet we just sit here and take it when the leaders of our country rob us at gun point.
