  1. Re:even better on Google Chrome Getting Audio Indicators To Show You Noisy Tabs · · Score: 1

    Can the rest of us have the option of muting, or does your desire outweigh everyone else's?

  2. Re:transfering files to the PC! on Is It Worth Paying Extra For Fast SD Cards? · · Score: 1

    Did you just get bored half way through TFS and decide to post?

  3. Re:Dear Canon, on Canon Demos New Head-Mounted Augmented-Reality Display · · Score: 1

    The fuck? 9/11 was planned all the way back in 1994 in the Bojinka Plot. I'm no fan of Bush and I can understand not liking how he handled it, but he didn't cause 9/11.

    But the 1990s called

    You at least warned them about 9/11 though, right?

    Not sure which is more disturbing; your story, or the fact you continued to watch after the huge steaming pile of crap part.

  7. Re:This is what trademarks are for on Brazilians Can Now Buy an "iPhone" Loaded With Android · · Score: 2

    Or Apple could pick another name, since someone else trademarked iPhone first.

    Better yet, have sex without paying for it. I know, I know. I must be new here.

  9. Re:Time travel on Ask Slashdot: What Features Belong In a 'Smartwatch'? · · Score: 1

    FFS, no! Do you really want every apple fanboi traveling through time, fucking things up? Next thing you know, Hitler turns out to invent Windows and Jesus invents the iPhone.

  10. Re:Can't Go Backwards on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    I think that software developer was told to give 110% too many times.

  11. Wasn't the cyber threat to our critical infrastructure overblown by DHS and CyberCom just to get a bigger budget? Why is DOE so concerned that they're going to spend 20 million of their current budget?

  12. Re:Oh, the irony! on Apple Said To Be Working On a 'Watch-Like Device' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I stopped wearing a watch outside of work recently, for the same reason. However, no one is allowed to bring cell phones, 2-way pager, cameras, or anything that can transmit or connect to a computer. So I wear a simple Casio watch to work and typically take it off when I get home. I'd love to go to a smart watch like Pebble that can connect to my phone, display alerts, play music, etc however I couldn't wear it to work.

  13. Re:The iWatch on Apple Said To Be Working On a 'Watch-Like Device' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Like that, but with fewer buttons and way more expensive.

    In combat sports where people get hurt for the amusement of spectators, we use Roman numerals.

    Your planet may have sent millions of robots over the last thousand of our earth years, but this is the first one humans have sent that has drilled into rock.

    Oh, and frist smaple!

  17. Was there an article? on Curiosity Rover Collects First Martian Bedrock Sample · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've been clicking on TFS, but no webpage comes up. Is there a link somewhere?

    When I joined the Marine Corps, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I always figured it would be the foreign enemies I had to worry about.

  19. Re:But not the constitution on DHS Can Seize Your Electronics Within 100 Mi.of US Border, Says DHS · · Score: 1

    Has this gone to the Supreme Court? I wouldn't doubt they would say something asinine like this, but it didn't say in TFS.

  20. How much of the nation is that? on DHS Can Seize Your Electronics Within 100 Mi.of US Border, Says DHS · · Score: 2

    Just eyeballing a map of the US, I'd estimate that 100 miles in covers at least a quarter of the country. Anyone have a more accurate proportion of how much the country this covers?

  21. Re:I agree with Barbara Cargill on Texas School Board Searching For Alternatives To Evolutionary Theory · · Score: 1

    Good point. Though Lamarckianism is still evolution, albeit descent with modification. Doubt that this would go over any better with the Texas board of education. Interestingly, there is some evidence of a Lamarckian mechanism at work today in people, through retro viruses carrying mutated DNA from T-cells to sperm cells. Not a major agent of evolutionary change in all likelihood, though fascinating nonetheless. See Lamarck's Signature by Robyn Lindley.

    Because everyone knows there's no hacking threat. Right?

    See, I thought it was Chemical X that gave Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup their super powers.

  24. Re:The Apple way ? on Microsoft May Be Seeking Protection From Linux With Dell Loan · · Score: 1

    I doubt there's room in the mobile/computing ecosystem for another Apple. Anyone who likes Apple's stuff is already buying from Apple. What type of people would buy Microsoft's integrated products that aren't hooked into Apple right now? Could there really be that many to make it worthwhile?
