  1. Re:Bought a 2nd hand one on The Apple Watch Outsold Every Other Wearable Last Quarter (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah, here's the secret of Apple Watch success - people buy one for their 1st hand, and another one for the 2nd hand.

  2. Re:Disposable cell phone on Ask Slashdot: How To Bypass Gov't Spying On Cellphones? · · Score: 1

    Morpheus: A one byte's worth of dollars for every man, woman, and child in Zion. That sounds *exactly* like the thinking of a machine to me. (beware of annoying ads) http://www.anyclip.com/movies/the-matrix-reloaded/the-machines-threat/#!quotes/

  3. Astroturfing on Evidence For Comet-Borne Microfossils Supports Panspermia · · Score: 1

    Read the title as "Evidence For Comet-Borne *Microsoft*..." That's would be some heavy astroturfing!

  4. Proprietary methodology of counting money? on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pay half the bill and tell them you have a proprietary methodology by which you count money.

  5. Re:GA- not allowed to vote due to id problems on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 2

    Very different in MD - no ID required, they just ask for name, address and date of birth; if this matches registration - you're in. Almost too lax since all this information can be mined online in many cases.

  6. Re:200% more? on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a joke from early 90s "wild capitalism" era in Russia.

    Two former classmates meet, one is a poor engineer, another is a "new russian" type cool businessman.
    New Russian: Oh, great to see you, how are you doing?
    Poor Engineer: Life sucks, no money etc. etc. But look at you... You were the stupidest student in the class, and look at you now. How do you do it?!
    New Russian: Well, running business, you know. Buying beer kegs for $100, selling them for $200. This 2% margin is what I live on.
