  1. Re:A stern son-to-father lecture on Ask Slashdot: Rescuing a PC That's Been Hit By Scammers? · · Score: 2

    It occurred to me that OP's father might be the same age as me. Scary.

  2. A stern son-to-father lecture on Ask Slashdot: Rescuing a PC That's Been Hit By Scammers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In addition to the wipe and install suggested over 9000 times, your father needs a good talking-to.

  3. Max Age versus Life Expectancy on How Long Do You Want To Live? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While life expectancy has increased over time due to improved diet, health care, lower infant mortality etc the max age has held steady.
    Even 200 years ago you could live into your 80's or 90's as long as you survived past around 10.

  4. Huffy on Chinese Automaker Launches Remote-Control Family Car · · Score: 1

    Seen on the bumper sticker of a mountain biker: "If Huffy made a plane would you fly in it?"

  5. Re:BeagleBone on Serious Problems With USB and Ethernet On the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    No. It's meant to be a controller board for embedded projects like robots, etc. In fact the BeagleBone has lower power consumption than the Pi.
    The Pi has a video interface to aim at the hobby market that demands a GUI instead of command line.

  8. BeagleBone on Serious Problems With USB and Ethernet On the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 2

    Yes, yes I know everyone's just *in love* with their Raspberries. But seriously if you want a power tool, cough up the extra bucks and get a BeagleBone.

  9. In Soviet Russia on Rover Fuel Came From Russian Nuke Factory, But Supplies Running Low · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia Pu-238 reprocess you!

  10. Kill the messenger on RapidShare Urges US To Punish Linking Sites and Not File-Sharing Sites · · Score: 1

    Yeah way to go. Kill the messenger to demonstrate to your constituents you're doing something about the problem.

  11. Pew! Pew! Pew! on Curiosity Rover Fires First Laser Beam At Martian Rock · · Score: 1

    I missed the shark but at least I got in the first Pew! Pew! Pew!

    O brave new world
    that has such people in't.

  19. Re:Rectannas on Alternative To QR Code Uses NFC and Cheap Rectennas · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reminds me of Cartman's anal probe.

  20. Even so on Secret Security Questions Are a Joke · · Score: 1

    Even if Apple had enforced their own policies it's still weak anyway. Recall the hacking of Sarah Palin's yahoo email. The attackers just looked up the answers to her security questions on the interwebs.

  21. Why would they want to study immorality? on University Receives $5 Million Grant To Study Immortality · · Score: 2

    I mean, aren't there enough bad people in the world already?

    The Shatner version of that song is indelibly etched in my neurons for all eternity.
