  1. Re:It isn't new on Kepler Sees Partial Exoplanetary Eclipse · · Score: 1

    The article says it's new because it's the first time this has happened in another solar system (TFS specifically says exoplanet). Mcgrew states this is not new because it's happened with Saturn. Hence my sarcastic remark.

  2. Re:It isn't new on Kepler Sees Partial Exoplanetary Eclipse · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware that Saturn was in a different solar system.

  3. Re:Advertizing and privacy are 2 different things on Think Tank's Website Rejects Browser Do-Not-Track Requests · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, it's like when it rains on your wedding day.

  4. Re:Remember on HP Releases Open webOS 1.0 · · Score: 2

    Good point. They're both too little, too late.

  5. Re:Great timing... on HP Releases Open webOS 1.0 · · Score: 2

    If an emulated webOS phone rings in a crowd full of Android devices, does it make a sound?

    Maybe it's on vibrate.

  6. Re:Finally, a law recognizing privacy on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    As much as I'd love to continue arguing semantics with you, I have a four year old I need to argue with. I think I might have better luck with him.

  7. Re:Finally, a law recognizing privacy on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    So you have a law for it before we do. Good job mate. But don't act high and nighty because it's already illegal. It's illegal because you have a law for it. That's what we're doing!

  8. Re:Finally, a law recognizing privacy on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Soooooo...you have and need a law for it too? Were you just trolling with that?

  9. Re:Hard to imagine the vastness on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try one of those pumps.

  10. Re:Stop hating. "cold fusion" != "fusion" on Fusion Power Breakthrough Near At Sandia Labs? · · Score: 1

    That's really unfair. Warm fusion is probably only constantly 20 years away.

  11. Re:Beryllium? on Fusion Power Breakthrough Near At Sandia Labs? · · Score: 1

    Miners, not minors!

  12. Re:seen it done. not new. on Spoken Commands Crash Bank Phone Lines · · Score: 1

    Right. First thing I though of was the whistle from Capn Crunch.

  13. Re:sigh on Music Memories Stored In Different Part of Brain Than Other Memories · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is much more prevalent than one guy. Stroke victims who can't talk can often sing. So when they want to say something, they can simply say it to some made-up tune.

  14. Re:I like Apple bashing as much as the next man... on Polish MP Returns iPad Citing Lack of Control · · Score: 1

    Crawling up the wall, I saw a fly.

  15. Re:As expected on Scientists Set Bold Plan For Future Exploration of the Sun · · Score: 1

    And yet, no "mining the sun for hydrogen" jokes. I mean, until now anyway.

  16. Re:6th? on Indian Prime Minister Formally Announces Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    Reading is hard. Try it again. You'll get the hang of it sooner or later.

  17. It's a Scottish lake.

  18. Re:Wat on Man Orders TV On Amazon, Gets Shipped Assault Rifle · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it!

  19. Re:What slashdot reader is this written for? on How To Watch Internet TV Across International Borders · · Score: 1

    Cowboy Neal!

  20. Re:A great disturbance in the force... on Mexico Kills 8 Million Chickens To Contain H7N3 Virus · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope so.

  21. Re:So, what now? on US Gov't Can't Be Sued For Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 2

    People are fallible, and do wrong. And when they violate the law they should be held responsible for it.

  22. Re:Siri is terrible on Nuance Launches Siri Rival "Nina" · · Score: 1

    Me: Siri, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?
    Siri:...Turn left in 100 meters.

  23. Re:From Minnesota here on Managing Servers In the Frigid Cold · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In the Marine Corps, I had some cold weather training before a deployment to Norway. We were instructed to leave our rifles outside of our tents. Otherwise, they would accumulate condensation inside the barrels, which would then freeze when you walk outside. Lots of fun stuff like that.

  24. Re:Where is the logic? on Wozniak Predicts Horrible Problems With the Cloud · · Score: 1

    I think his point sounded more like "horrendous things will happen because I don't like it."

  25. Re:...the good news on Harvard Software 3D Prints Articulated Action Figures · · Score: 1

    First of all, the shark doesn't do the jumping. Second, how do you buy action figures that aren't available for sale, like cartoon characters from obscure TV shows? Third, it's a nascent technology, so give it time to mature.
