  1. Re:Isn't that illegal ? on Jet Strikes Drone Near Heathrow Airport (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    If shooting them down is illegal then running them down with a 747 has to be illegal too.

    Crimes & Misdemeanors! The pilot reported the collision to the authorities so he should get away with a slap on the wrist and maybe some points on his license

  2. Re:Old dog, old tricks? on Microsoft's BSOD Is Getting More Descriptive With QR Codes (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    But by using QR codes Microsoft is enabling you to research the error using your IPhone and following a link the to an MS Web Site that probably still only works with IE6!

  3. Re:Not just music streaming... on Music Streaming Service Exclusives Make Pirating Tempting Again (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Kodi is the answer

  4. Re:WHY IS THIS HERE????! on Director Brennan: CIA Won't Waterboard Again, Even If Ordered By Future President (msnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Does this mean Sodium Pentathol is back in fasion again?

  5. Re:Its useless junk on Slashdot Asks: It's Been a Year Since Apple Watch Release, What's Your Thought On It? · · Score: 1

    I think I'd rank it on a par with early MS Tablets I think they tried to bring this to market way too early. I'll stick with my binary watch http://www.trendsgal.com/p/who...

  6. Re:Lucasfilm and Disney are scumbags.... on Free Lightsaber Event Now Battling Lucasfilm's Lawyers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Who didn't see this coming when Disney bought Lucasfilm? This is just the beginning.

    You don't know the power of the legal department

  7. He'll be introduced to "The Great Firing Squad of China"

  8. Re:How long until you update your anthem? on Spies In The Skies: FBI Planes Are Circling US Cities (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Surely it should be "The home of litigation"

  9. Re:dammit on Google ReCAPTCHA Cracked In New Automated Attack · · Score: 2

    "You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you..."

    Holden: Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother.

    Leon: My mother?

    Holden: Yeah.

    Leon: Let me tell you about my mother.

    I fairness to the guy any member of the Palin family would probably have had the same response

  10. Re:Hold on on Chat App Kik Beats Facebook To Launching a Bot Store (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not like half the accounts that follow me on twitter aren't Russian Hooker Bots

  11. How can we tell they're clones?

    Ask it what it's name is. If it says "TK426" shoot it.

  12. Surely on The White House Finally Got Color Printers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Surely that's printers of color

  13. Re:Better yet.... on Lasers Could Hide Us From Evil Aliens (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually what they've just inadvertently suggested is a way of detecting intelligent life on other planets. If the spectral mix of a smaller planet differs from the normal spectral mix of the star during a transit I guess we just found someone who implemented this technique.

  14. Re:News for Nerds on More People On Earth Now Obese Than Underweight, Says Study (statnews.com) · · Score: 1

    They found that over the 40-year-span, the proportion of obese men worldwide more than tripled, to roughly 11 percent, and the proportion of obese woman more than doubled, to about 15 percent.

    60%? Where did you get 60%, it appears that TFS says 15% of women and 11% of men, not exactly anywhere near 60%.

    And this guy was going on about accuracy

  15. Re:Energy star rated bitcoins. on Bitcoin Could Consume As Much Electricity As Denmark By 2020 (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    I'm just waiting for Bitcoin branded bacon :D

  16. Re:News for Nerds on More People On Earth Now Obese Than Underweight, Says Study (statnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the problem with BMI is because it doesn't take muscle mass into account that 5% you're on about is largely made up of athletes and other sporty types who are apparently obese. Of course none of this really matters because nobody develops eating disorders because they've been erroneously labeled as obese especially not children.

  17. Re:Trying to get shot? on Company Creates Gun That Looks Like a Cellphone (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    No, he's trying to get everyone who carries a mobile phone shot.

    Please can he make one that looks like an IPhone? That will create double the incentive to shoot them!

  18. What about all the poor SOB's who can't afford to upgrade their broken Apple shite because it's ridiculously fragile & over priced

  19. Just waiting for the obligatory "and a million applications cried out in pain and were suddenly silenced"

  20. The only truly renewable energy source is to mulch climate change skeptics and turn them into bio fuel. Just imagine the energy density!

  22. Re:Maybe increase the product longevity on 9.7-Inch iPad Pro Is Apple's Last Chance To Save the iPad Line (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    This happened to the desktop market years ago. Gone are the days of big companies buying shiny new computers that were twice as fast as the ones they had before.

  23. Re:Questioning isn't "denying"; it's science! on Scientists: What We're Doing To The Earth Has No Parallel In 66 Million Years (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    You are talking nonsense. If you really believe that every university in the world has been somehow "compromised" by some kind of agenda that would cause scientists from those institutions to push a global warming agenda, then my guess is that you haven't met any scientists.

    It would make a great conspiracy theory though wouldn't it :)

  24. Re:Internet of Things on One Million School Children To Get Free BBC Micro:bit Computers · · Score: 1

    "public service broadcaster" ... owned by the government, controlled by the government, funded by the government... so wtf is it if not a government entity? It even taxes the public with the "television license fee".

    Actually I thought it was run by HSBC

  25. Obviously on Encryption Securing Mobile Money Transfers Can Be Broken · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apple will be the 1st to release a mobile phone that is protected by a Faraday Cage
