  1. Re:Asshole blogger can has publicity stunt on Cybercriminals Has Heroin Delivered To Brian Krebs, Then Calls Police · · Score: 1

    Hello is that 118Lube :D

  2. Never thought it would fly on Asus CEO On Windows RT: "We're Out." · · Score: 1

    Windows RT's a dog that was never going to fly unless they'd done it 5 years earlier. All the surface stuff is overpriced but why would you buy a computer no one is writing software for? Even the pro version you're still locked in and cant significantly mod the product (Add more memory/storage etc) but at least its got a USB and I bed the BlueTooth works.

  3. Oh FFS on Samsung Caught Boosting Galaxy S4 Benchmarks · · Score: 1
    This was probably done by the Engineers who designed the phone so they could get an accurate benchmark of the final product without it kicking into power save mode. Then again was it left in for negligence or marketing reasons? Whatever the reasons it doesn't actually appear to be over clocking the GPU so what's the issue? And why does everyone have to look so surprised when corporations lie to us they do it all the time anyway!

    /Rant

  4. Re:Captain Wi Tu Low is at it again on Second SFO Disaster Avoided Seconds Before Crash · · Score: 1

    Obviously the Autopilot was too busy Beta testing the New Epic MMORPG :D

  5. Does anyone really care? I'm more miffed that Igoogle is being axed!

  6. Re:It didn't work out well on Norwegian Town Using Sun-Tracking Mirrors To Light Up Dark Winter Days · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I just don't get it! So in winter this town is in almost perpetual night? So what the fuck are these mirrors going to reflect moonlight???

  7. Re:sharepoint on New Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Service Packs Roll Out · · Score: 1

    buy SharePoint not but SharePoint DOH!

  8. Re:sharepoint on New Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Service Packs Roll Out · · Score: 1

    The people who make the decision to but SharePoint are generally anything but nerds so how is this news for slashdot most of us wouldn't use SharePoint if you threatened to chop our cocks off!

  9. Re:How Will He Get There on Snowden Offered Asylum By Venezuelan President · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Better still why don't the Russians simply get him a UN passport http://www.ehow.com/how_6811457_u_n_-passport_.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_laissez-passer and convey diplomatic immunity on him (Its been done before, although, not in such a high profile case). That way any attempt to interfere with him en-route is technically an act of war. But then again they've already done that with the president of Columbia's diplomatic flight so why aren't the UN already spanking America?

  10. Re:It's incredible to me on Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC · · Score: 1

    Ahh I see you've had a sense of humour failure :)

  11. Re:Much awaited.. on Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be Back As the Terminator · · Score: 4, Informative

    i.e. the source material is the movie.

    Actually the source material is "Soldier" by Harlan Ellison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_(The_Outer_Limits)

  12. You are Clippy on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With New Free Time? · · Score: 0

    And I claim my five pounds :D

  13. Re:First defense of oppressors, on Professors Say Massive Open Online Courses Threaten Academic Freedom · · Score: 1

    Claim freedom is lack of. Claim right is wrong, claim truth is lies. Not news.

    Isn't that the opening monologue in "Drain Spotting" :D

  14. It's the SCO effect on Professors Say Massive Open Online Courses Threaten Academic Freedom · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They'll get over it when enough people ignore them :)

  15. Re:It's incredible to me on Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC · · Score: 2

    Do everything over TOR and they'll never get y6796t7fcv gh. ck k.hgc g.khf

  16. Re:The NSA! on Computer Memory Can Be Read With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    Brilliant no we just need a BUS thats 10,000 times faster

  17. Re:No on To Hack Back Or Not To Hack Back? · · Score: 1
    Absolutley!

    I remember many years ago some firm brought out a proactive firewall that immediately tried to DOS attack anyone trying to penetrate it

    What a stupid idea given how easy it is to spoof a source address! I do hope they are out of business

  18. Re:20x faster on SSDs: The New King of the Data Center? · · Score: 1

    I know some hosting companies that have been all SSD for years this article is no surprise given how much data is flung around on the cloud.

  19. Statistics making the irrelevant relevant since the 1850's

  20. Sod google reader on Slashdot Asks: How Will You Replace Google Reader? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm going to miss igoogle :(

  21. Re:GG for cops. on UK Police Now Double As CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    Who will watch the watchers watching the watchers watching the watchers watching the watchers?

    What ever you do just don't blink!!!

  22. Re:Oops - wire must have come loose. on UK Police Now Double As CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    Actually this has been trialled in a few areas now and each area has reported a drop in both police brutality and assaults on police officers.

  23. Re:OMG, John is that you? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Prove an IT Manager Is Incompetent? · · Score: 1

    I am an outside consultant :) all that happens is I write a 58 page report that nobody ever reads!

  24. Re:I expect they are worried on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

    Also I suspect going public was a side effect of the NSA figuring out who leaked the info. He's obviously quite scared and the public eye is a lot safer than the shadows in these circumstances.

  25. Adopt Scrum on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Prove an IT Manager Is Incompetent? · · Score: 1

    That way everyone share the incompetence :)
