  1. identified in the public mind as the company... on Foxconn Betting Big On Firefox OS · · Score: 0

    where the employees jump out windows.
    Maybe foxconn needs to clean up *that* image first.

  2. Must...Not...Make...DNA...Tagged..Underwear...Joke on DNA Fog Helps Identify Trespassers, Thieves, and Brigands · · Score: 0

    Aaaaaaaaaaagh. I did anyway.

  3. Try some good quality marijuana on Ask Slashdot: How To Start Reading Other's Code? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It won't help you understand the code but you'll stop worrying about it so much.

  4. 46% of game buyers are women? on Sexism Still a Problem At E3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're just buying Fallout or Modern Warfare for their boyfriends.

  5. Netvibes and here's why on Slashdot Asks: How Will You Replace Google Reader? · · Score: 4, Informative

    When I received the first warning about Reader going away I started looking for alternatives. For me, having it be web-based was most important since I wanted to used it at home and work. The "at work" thing is a problem since I can't just install anything I want on my work PC.
    It seems like the RSS reader market is flooded with apps so it was difficult to find web-based services. I had grown used to the Reader look and feel so I settled on NetVibes as being the closest fit.
    My main criticism is NetVibes is not as fast as Reader but otherwise the format and whatnot is perfectly usable.

  6. Is it my imagination? on Asteroid Passes (Just) 65,000 Miles From Earth · · Score: 2

    Is it my imagination or are there more of these near-Earth rocks coming our way?
    Or are they just being reported more? Or is the detection network more effective?

  9. Re:Good point. on Ex-Marine Detained Under Operation Vigilant Eagle For His Political Views Sues · · Score: 1

    Nope. He violated the trust place in him, the highest trust possible from a national security perspective.
    He's a traitor and a felon.

  10. Re:Good point. on Ex-Marine Detained Under Operation Vigilant Eagle For His Political Views Sues · · Score: 1

    It is not political and it is not because he's gay (yes, there are those who've cast it like this)
    Bradley Manning is being held because he committed a Federal crime by disclosing classified information.
    He had the highest level security clearance and knowingly disclosed classified information. At a moral level he violated an oath and potentially put American lives at risk. He was a soldier. His job was to follow orders and not to decide what should and should not be classified. If he was not prepared to perform this sworn duty he should not have joined the military.
    If he's lucky he'll dodge the death penalty.

  11. He threatened violence. Case closed. on Ex-Marine Detained Under Operation Vigilant Eagle For His Political Views Sues · · Score: 1

    In typical viral social media fashion this violence-threatening nutjob's has been turned into a hero.
    Too bad kids today seem unable to read anything past the first 140 characters of what they read online.

  15. Former NC resident on N. Carolina May Ban Tesla Sales To Prevent "Unfair Competition" · · Score: 2

    As a former NC resident I can vouch for how collusive the car dealerships are there. People were going out of state to buy cars in areas with real competition.

  17. "Most employers?" "More than enough?" WTF! on Ad Exec: Learn To Code Or You're Dead To Me · · Score: 1

    Oh Boy! When can I buy one and make an AR-15?
