  1. Bill Gates? Brilliant mind? on 23-Year-Old Chess Grandmaster Whips Bill Gates In 71 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Sure, he's a smart guy, but 99.999% of his success came from being at the right place at the right time.
    i.e. writing DOS just as IBM entered the PC market. The rest is history.

  2. a developer named Tal? on Chrome Bugs Lets Sites Listen To Your Private Conversations · · Score: 2

    Subcommander Tal, is that you?

  3. Because I have to go outside and do things on U.S. Teenagers Are Driving Much Less: 4 Theories About Why · · Score: 1

    and stuff.

  4. Aaaaaaaaah! My dick! on Using Nanotechnology To Build Thinner, Stronger Condoms · · Score: 1

    What could possibly go wrong?

  5. He'd better not leave Russian on EU Committee Issues Report On NSA Surveillance; Snowden To Testify · · Score: 1

    If he goes anywhere in Europe, even with the host country's approval and protection, I wouldn't be surprised if he were snatched in a CIA black op.

  6. OMG That's Precious on OpenSUSE Forums Defaced, Email Addresses Leaked · · Score: 1

    H4x0r HuSsY. You just can't make this stuff up.

  7. The Poor Man's Background Check on The Other Exam Room: When Doctors 'Google' Their Patients · · Score: 1

    Everyone realizes that googling names can frequently come up with false hits from the wrong person with the same name. Employers do this, boyfriends and girlfriends do it. Even though everyone knows how unreliable it is, they still keep googling names and using the results.
    In a world constantly screaming for "moar" information it's a shame there's not enough reflection on how valuable or correct it is.

  8. Knowledge wants to be paid on The Internet's Network Efficiencies Are Destroying the Middle Class · · Score: 1

    "...radical idea that people should get paid whenever their information is used..."
    It's not so radical. We are currently treated like a herd of sheep, constantly being fleeced by the likes of Google and Facebook.

  9. Stop doing that. You'll go blind. on Coming Soon: Prescription Lenses For Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Can I do it until I need Google Glasses?

  10. Imagine! on Proposed California Law Would Mandate Smartphone Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Imagine California passed another ill-conceived, over-reaching, meddlesome law ... and nobody obeyed it.

    Imagine!

  11. My mother-in-law on 'Darkness Ray' Beams Invisibility From a Distance · · Score: 1

    I don't think 8 orders of magnitude would be huge enough to completely obliterate her.
    Come to think of it, what's the use if I can still hear her?

  12. I know something better on Cassini Gets Amazing Views of Saturn's Hexagon · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Hexagon of Saturn is nothing compared with the Delta of Venus
    I want some pics of that.

  13. Slashdotting == DDOS? on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    We DDOS web sites all the time here and it's usually for more than 1 minute.

  14. NOOOOOOOOO on Should the US Copy Switzerland and Consider a 'Maximum Wage' Ratio? · · Score: 1

    Our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves at the very idea of it.

  15. Neutrinos With Attitudes on At Long Last: IceCube Spots 28 High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are now about to witness the strength of neutrino knowledge

  16. And then? And then? on Fuel Rod Removal Operation Begins At Tsunami-hit Fukushima · · Score: 5, Informative

    They keep saying "first we'll do this and then we'll do that" with the spent fuel.
    But the one question no one seems able to answer is what you ultimately will do with all that toxic spent fuel. Simply speaking there is no answer, no plan for what to do with nuclear waste from any plant damaged or otherwise.

  17. Re:Good. A hard lesson. on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    To the usual nattering nabobs of negativism, I suppose you haven't heard of multiple encrypted backups?

  18. Good. A hard lesson. on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    Never, never, never trust your Bitcoin wallet to a third party, no matter how trusted.
    Keep your wallet safe by maintaining personal, physical possession of it and adhering to safe network practices.

  19. There is no dark matter in the universe, really on Most Sensitive Detector Yet Fails To Find Any Signs of Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    Matter of fact, it's all dark.

  20. The Libertarian View on Why Can't Big Government Launch a Website? · · Score: 1

    If you can look it up a service in the yellow pages, then then government shouldn't be doing it.
    They shouldn't be doing their own web sites. In fact it begs the question why the Feds are even involved in health insurance at all.

  21. Just curious: how? on White House Official Tracked Down and Fired Over Insulting Tweets · · Score: 2

    As a TrueNerd© I'd like to know precisely how this person was caught. Was he tweeting from work? If not, it makes me wonder...

  22. At the order of a government agency? on Researchers Show Apple Can Read iMessages · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that most of these big, high visibility companies haven't bothered waiting for "orders" from anyone. They've been just rolling over like good little bitches and turning information over based merely on requests.

  23. Beer and NFL Football on Ask Slashdot: Why Isn't There More Public Outrage About NSA Revelations? · · Score: 2

    As long as the government doesn't mess with Joe Sixpack's beer and NFL football he won't give a shit about rights.

  24. Legitimate WTF instances on The Most WTF-y Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    I challenge anyone to show me a legitimate instance of WTF in code.

  25. 3D TV = Quad Stereo on Is It Time to Replace Your First HDTV? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Anyone else here remember quad stereo? 3D TV will go the same way. Just because some is good doesn't mean more is better.
