    >> Yes it's called a "Loan" and it's what happens when you buy a $600 toy with $50 and someone tells you they need $20 a month until they have $900 from you.

    There fixed that for you

  3. Re:How oddly reminiscent on Chinese DRAM Plant Fire Continues To Drive Up Memory Prices · · Score: 1

    Actually it's more reminiscent of the Kobe earthquake except that this time only 10% of the eggs were in one basket rather than the 100% that were in Kobe. Only 10% and it's still effecting market prices??? Does this mean if we burn down Citroen global car prices will go up???

  4. Re:Not autonomous? on FEMA Grounds Private Drones That Were Helping To Map Boulder Floods · · Score: 1

    Funny I always thought a drone was part of a set of bag pipes :)

  5. Re:News? on NSA Spies On International Payments · · Score: 1

    Anybody who's even remotely surprised at this is a gullible fucktard!! Aside from the fact that "Don't use your credit cards the Gubment can trace them" has been the cornerstone cliché of every Hollywood spy thriller for nearly twenty years!

  6. Re:Overrated? on Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol. 1 Released in HTML Format · · Score: 2

    And this gets modded down? I thought we were geeks in here

    Had one years ago for my I-Paq which was great fun in banks & airports for changing the settings on the aircon :D

    For the younger readers I-Paq is nothing to do with Apple :)

  10. I bet Apple are kicking themselves because they didn't think of it 1st because foild hats suit Iphone users :D

  11. Re:News For Nerds on Satellite Images Suggest N. Korea Has Restarted Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 2

    Given that steam turbines normally operate in an enclosed system; the steam venting simply suggests the cooling system is back online. Sorry how geeky did you want it?

  12. Re:Two days old? on Icahn Abandons Bid To Prevent Dell From Going Private · · Score: 2

    Mostly because all the interesting stories get pushed off the bottom of the submissions board by spammers. However, they did FP a story the other week that was so old it qualified for a state pension.

  13. Re:Of course it's a PR stunt on German Federal Police Helicopter Circles US Consulate · · Score: 1

    Don't think you can apply that to radio waves. For starters technically the point that the electromagnetic photons (Radio Waves) are being intercepted is on consulate ground and therefore US territory. Some may argue that the same photon is also on German territory due to that nature of photons, however, taking this argument it could also be argued that the same photon is on Swiss, Polish & French territory at the same time.

  14. Re:Of course it's a PR stunt on German Federal Police Helicopter Circles US Consulate · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yep and also the Consulate is legally US territory anyway so they can put what the hell they like on the roof.

  18. Re:Summary can't make up it's mind on Suborbital Spaceflight Picks Up Speed · · Score: 1

    At least it didn't mention friction :)

  19. Re:Wow on Team Oracle Penalized For America's Cup Rules Violations · · Score: 1

    They wont even know about it because they're all stuck in the sand box

    I like my coffee like I like my slashdot. Filtered.

  24. Re:Manually Generated on AI Is Funny - a Generative Joke Model · · Score: 1

    With the occasional interspersed 3 page rant about something nobody can make sense of

    Don't forget the pages of people winging about how /. isn't what it used be or how they saw this reported 3 weeks ago on some site with about 3 readers :D

  25. Re:seriously?! on Extreme Ultraviolet Chip Manufacturing Process Technology Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    someone explain to me how this is any different to the story posted not 48 hours ago http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/08/05/2336251/euv-chipmaking-inches-forward

    You have to read it through a mirror whilst hanging upside down and whistling the theme tune to "I love Lucy"
