  1. Driverless cars? on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 2

    You mean ground drones?

  3. Re:stop whining and... on Blowing Up a Pointless Job Interview · · Score: 1

    My 15 years of professional employment at 4 companies has been much different than yours.

  4. stop whining and... on Blowing Up a Pointless Job Interview · · Score: 2

    just answer the questions like you're talking to another human, because you are.
    You're too elitist if you think someone's question is stupid. Not all people are geniuses, and most employees aren't trained in interviewing.
    Plus the question might be weird on purpose to see how you react. Don't be an ass.

  5. may be? on Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death · · Score: 1

    That was true before the study.

  6. Re:Thou hast angered thy King on China Says Serious Polluters Will Get the Death Penalty · · Score: 1

    After some of these responses I was about to decide never to post on the internet again. Can people really not get that I'm joking? See... dead people can't commit crimes! Ugh.

    Then I just saw "Score 5: Funny". (sigh of relief) Thank you. My faith is restored. sheesh!

  7. Re:Thou hast angered thy King on China Says Serious Polluters Will Get the Death Penalty · · Score: 2

    Well ok Mr. Dictionary... as long as you agree that I would think twice AFTER I was executed. WTF???

  8. Re:Thou hast angered thy King on China Says Serious Polluters Will Get the Death Penalty · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, I can only speak for myself. If I were executed for a crime, I would definitely think twice before committing that crime again. It's just not worth it.

  9. Re:Thou hast angered thy King on China Says Serious Polluters Will Get the Death Penalty · · Score: 1

    On the contrary. Dead people are less likely to commit crimes.

  10. Re:How about no on Comcast To Expand Public WiFi Using Home Internet Connections · · Score: 1

    It's not "extra" electricity, it's the amount of electricity you agreed to pay for by signing up for Comcast's services.
    They are not forcing you to use their service.

  11. Re:First! on Ask Slashdot: How To Begin Simple Robotics As a Hobby? · · Score: 1

    You should have at least given a link:

  12. pay for what you use on Do Developers Need Free Perks To Thrive? · · Score: 1

    My company took away the free soda. Work continued and it was not a big deal. Why would anyone expect for a company to pay for their groceries anyway? Technically, if the logistics were realistic, I'd have no problem paying for my toilet paper. Paying for what I use makes sense to me.

  13. Awesome! on Microsoft Unveils Xbox One · · Score: 1

    It seems like all the comments here are skeptical or negative.

    I've never owned an XBox, and I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, though I do own several Windows PC, but this sure sounds like an awesome piece of engineering.
    Nice job Microsoft?

  15. 20 years ago... on Korean Artist's Intentionally Useless Satellite To Launch This December · · Score: 1

    when I was in school, one day in English class we were handed a sheet of paper to write or draw anything we wanted to be sent up to orbit in a space time capsule. I thought it seemed like a bad idea to put things in orbit that don't need to be there, so I drew a picture of Earth with a bunch of garbage cans, garbage bags, and debris floating around it. I wish I could see that picture I drew. Google helped me determine the program was called SpaceArc and the messages were carried to orbit on tape in the DirecTV 2 satellite in 1994. But I wish the contents of the tape were available for viewing online.

  16. It's real! on Dutch Artist Admits Faking Viral 'Human Bird Wing' Video · · Score: 1

    I believe this may be a fake hoax.

  17. What the... on Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens · · Score: 1

    shell!

  18. light bulbs? on TSA Makes $400K Annually In Loose Change · · Score: 2

    I hate how companies tell us where some specific source of income goes. Even if it doesn't just go into a big pool of budget money, then some part of a budget somewhere is changed so that other money is available for other purposes.
    The bottom line... if $300k can be added to the overall budget, then that's $300k more that can go to paying a CEO's bonus.

    It's not like they weren't going to replace light bulbs without this money.

  19. Re:Why a dirty rag? on Could a Dirty Rag Take Out a $2 Billion Satellite? · · Score: 1

    I was about to post the same thing. The article doesn't mention the rag being dirty.

  20. self-confessed? on Pastafarian Wins Right To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 1

    The article calls him "A self-confessed atheist".
    Doesn't confessing imply an admission of guilt? That doesn't seem necessary.

    Also, what's the difference between "self-confessed" and "confessed"?

  21. Wheels on Star Wars Landspeeders Are Here · · Score: 1

    If flying cars were invented first, the improvement would be called the automobile. It would have four wheels that touch the ground. No more flying cars would be falling from the sky. Countless lives would be saved. It would save you thousands of dollars in fuel costs because it doesn't need to hover.

    The future is now. Enjoy it.

    no, what I said was that "self" was never a concern, therefore it was not selfish.

    You speak in riddles.

    But what about all your other unborn children? Using your logic, it was selfish of you not to conceive and bring them into the world.

  24. palindrome on The Binary Code In Canada's Gov-Gen Coat of Arms · · Score: 1

    It's a palindrome only because the two sides of the shield are mirror images. He was just consistent with that.
    The binary value isn't exactly random, but it's meaningless. It was chosen for aesthetic reasons... about the same number of zeroes and ones, grouped in a way so no grouping on zeros or ones is too long. Basically so that it doesn't look strange and looks like a "random" binary number.

    Now stop dwelling on this.
