  1. And Suddenly... on Bill Gates Advocates Tax On Financial Transactions · · Score: 1

    And suddenly cash is illegal! Why? Because they can't tax every cash transaction. Now paying a kid 5 bucks to cut your lawn would be tax evasion.

  2. Re:A *2001* Space Oddesey on Samsung Cites 2001: A Space Odyssey In Apple Patent Case · · Score: 1

    Doubly funny since it was sent in the future when it was released.

  3. The one API on Google Developing Master API — Web Intents · · Score: 4, Funny

    One API to rule them all, One API to find them, One API to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them.

  4. If correlation were causation... on Study Links Game Piracy To Critics' Review Scores · · Score: 1

    If correlation were causation, then that would mean that good reviews cause piracy. Which also would mean they found the root of their piracy problems. The easiest fix would be to get bad reviews. To do this just make really bad games. And BAM people will stop pirating them.

  5. No octopi? on Lizards Beat Birds In Intelligence Test · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Octopus are also very intelligent quiet possible more so then birds.

  6. Questionable evidence on New "Last Dinosaur" Find Backs Asteroid Extinction · · Score: 1

    I always take such finds with a grain of salt. Especially when there are a number of theories that are competing with it. First off there is a large margin of error in the K-T boundary. Second it was an asteroid may have *GASP* moved a lot of dirt, and possibly brought things closer to the surface.

  7. How do they know it's an alias? on Google+: Tools, Names, and Facebook · · Score: 1

    They can't prove may name is not really "Scroty McBuger Balls"

  8. Re:you know what this is really about on Assange Back In Court For Sex Crimes Appeal · · Score: 1

    And in doing so they have brought far more public attention to wikileaks. Yay for them. If they really wanted to discredited wikileaks they should "leak" a bunch of bad info, wait a year they reveal the information to be false. Then just call all the content of the site into question.

  9. Re:The future.... on Google Chrome To Have Real-Time Communications · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If so many a Indian salesmen will be video bombed with penis's.

  10. It's stil young on Friday's Big Swings, Mostly Down, Illustrate Bitcoin Value Volatility · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin is still a young "currency" and there are relatively few buyers and sellers. This level of volatility is to be expected. Chances are good it will stabilize, and climb back up in value. Then this will happen all over again. Eventually that will stop happening but it's going to be awhile.

  11. Ahhh crime. on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Theft, destruction of private property, destruction of evidence, assault, and I'm probably missing a few.

  12. Re:Next we will all be required to be chipped on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 1

    Well a cab back and forth would cost good portion of my paycheck(About 60%) they aren't cheap. Either that or I could for walk for 4 hours one way... There are no subways here. Not driving is normally only an option if you live in a city.

  13. Iron knee on Warner Bros. Forced To Fight For Fair Use · · Score: 0

    Title says it all.

  14. Looting on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When the Rapture Comes? · · Score: 1

    Probably looting the houses of those who disappeared. After all they won't be needing the stuff.

  15. And dead bulbs? on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    Will we have to resubmit their ip's for reuse?

  16. Re:So . . . on New Bill Would Require US ISPs To Retain User Info · · Score: 1, Troll

    Really? I just don;t want them snooping on me browsing shemale and transvestite porn.

  17. Round with pumpkin please. on Blue Gene/P Reaches Sixty-Trillionth of Pi Squared · · Score: 1

    Yes really, why squared? I prefer mine round. Atm I feel like pumpkin would be best.

  18. No PS3, but I viewed it. on Judge Allows Subpoenas For GeoHot YouTube Viewers, Blog Visitors · · Score: 1

    I don't own a PS3, but I watched the video on Youtube. Does this mean they're going to claim I commited a crime I couldn't possibly have commited?

  19. The Answer on Can the Atrix 4G Really Become Your Next PC? · · Score: 1

    No

  20. How to remove deleted data on SSDs Cause Crisis For Digital Forensics · · Score: 1

    Want to wipe deleted data off a drive? It's really simple, there is a method I always use before making an image of a drive. dd if=/dev/zero of=/location_on_drive Wait for the file to use all the space on the drive then delete it. I use it to make drive ghosts more compressable. Though if you wanted it for privacy you could always source from urandom instead of zero.

  21. Re:It must be real on EEStor Issued a Patent For Its Supercapacitor · · Score: 1

    Yes, but only forward.

  22. From someone whos been there. on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    I started programming when I was about 8. I started with C64 basic, and only a little while later moved to Amiga AMOS basic, and C.(about 10 or 11). In my opinion C, C++, or PHP would be great starter langs for someone that age.

  23. It seems... on Censorship By Glut · · Score: 1

    It seems to be the comments on this article, are in fact confirming what the article says.

  24. Re:Why a Windows PC? on What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because Macs are completely immune to spyware and viruses the Windows and Linux people have to worry about 24/7?

    Yeah one time I found a linux virus! However I never did get it to run on my linux box...

  25. Re:Data != Information on Brightnets are Owner Free File Systems · · Score: 1

    But that plausibility won't hold up long, because the courts will soon say "If we find a bunch of random files on your drive, the burden is on *you* to prove that they aren't naughty bits."

    "No person shall at any time posess any computer system file or any other information stored in an information storage or retrieval system unless he is able to explain in detail a lawful purpose of every single bit of that file."

    Wouldn't this make owning proprietary operating system illegal? Or in fact any other piece of software that hides information from the owner/license holder?
