  1. Re:Just about everybody that gets caught online... on Adrian Lamo Explains His Decision To Expose Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    Used an actual machine instead of a throw-away virtual one?

  2. Re:Can I run it on my old phone? on Who Would Actually Build an Ubuntu Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Wait, Stephen Hawking logs into slashdot with the username Rosco P. Coltrane? I knew he had a sense of humor, but that's ridiculous.

  3. Re:Fuck Nokia and Fuck Phones on Nokia N9: the World's Most Underrated Smartphone? · · Score: 4, Informative

    An advertisement for a phone you can't buy anymore? Are you taking your meds?

  4. Re:So we are to believe on Security Firm Predicts "Murder By Internet-Connected Devices" · · Score: 1

    Unless someone logged into their car remotely, and used it drive into someone with the intent to murder someone, I don't think that's what they're talking about. Or maybe you think that killing someone by smashing my smartphone into their head counts too.

  5. Re:The joys of proprietary software on Microsoft Says Google Trying To Undermine Windows Phone · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would say that it serves Microsoft right, but unfortunately it's the end users that suffer.

    Yeah, all both of them.

  6. Re:I call... on Campaign To Remove Paper From Offices · · Score: 1

    That's average. I used to work as a trainer a few years ago. We would print student handouts for every student. For a class of 20 students, and with the handout being 50 pages, that would be a thousand pages per week, per classroom. We had three classrooms, plus mobile training teams. And some handouts were longer. I estimated at the time we were using over 10,000 pages a month. And that's just for handouts. We printed lots of other stuff too. You may be using much less, but there are others driving the average up.

  7. Re:Canary in the coal mine on China Tightens Internet Restrictions · · Score: 0, Troll

    After reading your post, then your sig, I was about to call you crazy. Then I saw your user name. At least you live up to it.

  8. Re:hardware vs software on Raspberry Pi vs. Cheap Android Dongle: Embarrassment of (Cheap) Riches · · Score: 1

    Nerdiest. Joke. Evar.

  9. Re:Mini-Cluster on Raspberry Pi vs. Cheap Android Dongle: Embarrassment of (Cheap) Riches · · Score: 4, Funny

    No! I have to imagine it first!

  10. Wondermark on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 2

    By far my favorite web comic, and some of favorites are from this year, like the one below about tic tacs. The link is for the first of a four-part series, so hit next to see the rest. And don't forget the alt text.

  11. Re:Nonsense... on China Set To Surpass US In R&D Spending In 10 Years · · Score: 2

    Exactly. Just like how the USA slowed down after the 1929 Stock Market Crash. It's a shame they never recovered from it.

  12. Re:Donation Link on Internet Archive Needs Donations, Has Matching Donor · · Score: 1

    For all intensive porpoises, their the same.

  13. Re:A wake up call on Coral Reefs In Grave Danger, Say Climate Simulations · · Score: 1

    Dammit. I screwed up the tags. In any case, a google search for "carbon dioxide levels" will turn up numerous charts showing the exponential increase. A google search for your number turned up nothing. Please review some literature, and post your source.

  14. Re:A wake up call on Coral Reefs In Grave Danger, Say Climate Simulations · · Score: 1

    Not sure where you came up where that .00003% number, other than your ass. Carbon dioxide levels are at the highest in mankind's history and rising exponentially.

    http://zipcodezoo.com/Trends/Trends%20in%20Atmospheric%20Carbon%20Dioxide.asp
    br> That kind of rise is usually seen over millions of years, not a hundred. And it's only going up, with disastrous consequences. Stop denying the obvious. Stop spreading misinformation. And stop being stupid. Please. The rest of us are trying to save the planet.

  15. Re:They tried on Minecraft Documentary Premiers On Pirate Bay As Well As Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Shame they can't square that away.

  16. Re:A wake up call on Coral Reefs In Grave Danger, Say Climate Simulations · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was skeptical until I looked at the evidence. I'm now convinced of anthropogenic climate change. The people who think that dumping hundreds of thousands of different chemicals, many in large quantities, into our air, water, and soil WON'T cause significant change to our climate are simply being naive.

  17. Re:Nice hobby project on Mobile Raspberry Pi Computer: Build Your Own Pi-to-Go · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He built it himself for fun. This isn't for sale. It's not supposed to be better than what you can buy. It was a fun project, an experiment, an exercise, a lesson. Haven't you ever made anything yourself, if only for the sole purpose of the satisfaction you feel?

  18. Re:Tape a phone on it on Arduino and MK802 Robot, Controlled By Phone · · Score: 1

    But instead we get another tiresome robot this-or-that story.

    Yeah. I'm tired of living in the future.

  19. Re:New Idea for a Slashdot Poll on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 4, Funny

    What, no Cowboy Neal option? What has slashdot become these days?

  20. Re:Sensationalized headline, once again on USAF Taps ESPN To Compile Drone "Highlight" Video · · Score: 1

    Inaccurate? No (except that ESPN isn't itself editing the video, they're just providing training and expertise).

    You made it sound like ESPN is going to review classified UAV full motion video, which you knew not to be case. That's a far cry from I would call accurate.

  21. Re:Did n't even know on Microsoft Kills Expression Suite — And Makes It Free, For Now · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Indeed. Please tell me all tools of which you are aware. All tools not on your list will be unsuccessful. Your lack of knowledge will determine the fate of untold hundreds of tools!

  22. yeah yeah on How the Internet Became a Closed Shop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Times change. You can never go home. Things were always better in the past. I can remember when all of this was farmland. Now get off my lawn.

  23. Re:watch Dr. Strangelove on Who Should Manage the Nuclear Weapons Complex, Civilians Or Military? · · Score: 2

    I agree. I think we should base all our decisions on 50-year old fictional movies.

  24. Re:Civilian control on Who Should Manage the Nuclear Weapons Complex, Civilians Or Military? · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about a corporation? TFS refers to civilians, as in the government.

  25. Re:"Real-life video"? Jesus... on 2012 Another Record-Setter For Weather, Fits Climate Forecasts · · Score: 1

    Do they have this "reality" in hi-def 3D yet?
