  1. Re:I'm curious to see how many retailers actually on Credit Card Swipe Fees Begin Sunday In USA · · Score: 1

    As an OR resident who has never bought gas at Arco, how does that work? Do the attendants make change right there at your car? Do I have to get out of my car and go inside to pay? I much prefer using my card and never having to leave my vehicle given our prohibitions on self-service in this state.

  2. Re:Ugh on RMS Speaks Out Against Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    You clearly aren't familiar with the side benefits of his vegan diet; No need to shower. Those close to him tended to disagree.

  3. In the kitchen, get a stylus on Ask Slashdot: All-In-One PC For Kitchen? · · Score: 1

    For kitchen use with dirty, germy, sticky hands, get a stylus for the touchscreen. These are cheap and work just as well as the more expensive ones. http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_pc_0

  4. Re:Old Times sake on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 2

    With the coming Rapture scheduled for May 21st, hope it doesn't slip by more than a few weeks.

  5. Get a few hundred avocados on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Guacamole time!

  6. Re:It's not awesome on Prankster Jailbreaks Apple Store Display iPhone · · Score: 1

    Home Depot has always seemed to me as the best at striking a balance between personnel availability and letting you shop in peace.

    The last time I was in Home Depot, there were more employees than customers. It seemed every aisle had at least two orange aproned associates just waiting for something to do. After about 5 minutes of being accosted at every turn by the "helpful" staff, I left and went next door to Lowe's.

  7. Re:Ignorance abounds indeed on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    Exactly. My Ipod Touch records my location as being at my neighbor's house which sits about 100 ft closer to the street Google's van traveled. I can use all of the location aware features while my neighbor accumulates piles of data logged against her address. It works for me!

  8. Re:Why Is That Interesting? on Analysis of 32 Million Breached Passwords · · Score: 1

    Why is it any surprise that people tend to approach passwords as a pass-WORD? It has to be something they can remember, and remembering a string of characters they can't pronounce is far more difficult than remembering (say) their favorite basketball team and the year they graduated high school.

    Dammit! How did you figure out my system? That's ok, I'll just change to my graduation year THEN my favorite basketball team. Try cracking THAT password!

  9. Re:Boombox on 13-Year-Old Trades iPod For a Walkman For a Week · · Score: 1

    I always smile when I see those "no radios" signs on buses and trains with the picture of a ghettoblaster. Good times. I owned the Toshiba in that picture, second row from the bottom.

  10. Re:Nobody is forcing you to buy a new laptop bag on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 1

    Given the fact that TSA rules typically vary from airport to airport and are seemingly made up on the fly, I doubt having an approved bag will change anything. Kind of like how they just cut off TSA approved luggage locks rather than bother opening them with their master key.

  11. Re:Rebates are a scam on 1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster · · Score: 1

    We need a class action lawsuit against this company. Then we can really stick it to them when the courts award us rebat...er....vouchers. That'll show 'em!
