  1. Re: Why buy consoles that aren't above and beyond on Slashdot Asks: Is the Golden Era of Video-Game Console Sales Over? · · Score: 1

    That could very much depend on how quickly VR takes off.

    when a second-hand Commodore (or no, it was a Vic20 first) wasn't all that much more expensive than a second-hand Atari2600

    Was that when people were willing to spent five grand so they could play Arkanoid in four thousand colors and stereo sound? :)

    ...but I'm sure that the infrastructure that they've put in place did not come free

    I thought Al Gore built that.

    I'm guessing from your username that that would be the Jolly Green Giant?

  5. Re: The Answer is Obvious on Child Porn Is Being Hidden on Legal Commercial Websites (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    They want access to our data because of terrorist and child pornographers.

    Politicians want access to our computers because they're getting desperate; they got all aroused and excited when they were told there was kiddie porn on the Internet and now that they've figured out they were lied to, theyre determined to look everywhere else.

  6. Dont you mean culturalism or nationalism? Racism generally has an altogether different meaning. It's cool; English can be hard.

  7. Might not be so far-fetched; did anyone actually hear them say that they intend for the passengers to arrive alive?

  8. Re: No fscking chance! on China Plans To Reach Mars by 2020 and Eventually Build a Moon Base (techinsider.io) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I expect the sun to rise tomorrow; mind you, no one promised anything of the sort but still... I hold out hope. ;)

  9. If it turns out that time comes in discrete lumps...

    ...it might have a prostate problem (FTFY).

  10. All I see are turtles' assholes.

  11. Re: Some of us work in metric now on World's Largest Commercial Aircraft Engine Fired Up For The First Time (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    It certainly is; I believe the six engines on the XB-70 Valkyrie each put out less than a third as much thrust...

  12. A rather long, high-voltage tether attached to a rather small autonomous vehicle that travels at high speed along an electrified track? That oughtta work...

    Perhaps he's suggesting that with two huge engines, it'll look rather goggle-eyed? Perhaps a bit like this. That's the best i could up with, at any rate...

  14. Re: 10,000 time reduction each time on Prescription Meds Get Trapped In Disturbing Pee-To-Food-To-Pee Loop (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    That's hardly 'trapped in a loop.

    Maybe not but it sounds kinky.

  15. I think they were referring to the industrial-sized Brita filters that farmers use to irrigate with. ;)

  16. Re: Hipster Hate Comment Thread. on Canonical To Release Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS 'Xenial Xerus' Tomorrow (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Being that Ubuntu is one of the more popular distributions, that means is must be hated on slashdot.

    You go on telling yourself that but the majority of slashdotters don't hate things that are popular but rather things that suck.

  17. Re: Im a Scientist Mom! on Scientist Shrinks Arduino To Size Of An AA Battery (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Don't know why scientists always get credit.

    It's simply 'cause they always get the hot chicks.

    So you're not the guy who ordered "The Jackhammer" (3-phase 220v) off of Amazon?

    I wonder how long it'll be before people start trying to maximize how much processing power they can fit in their ass...

    We used to refer to the shitty three-speed automatic in the FWD Audi type44's as the "slushbox" I believe they were manufactured by Benz... thanks to those pieces of shit, I was able to get my hands on virtually-indestructable five-cylinder motors for virtually nothing... damn, those were the days...

    The Swiss dropped their pants a while back for the U.S. I.R.S.

    Not to mention them buzzing the Russian Speaker's jet last fall; their "neutrality" is likely anything but.

  24. Re: They all did on Mitsubishi Motors Pulls a Volkswagen; Shares Drop (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    But no one wanted to rock the boat and invite more scrutiny from regulators.

    Benz might've had motive to; they were apparently forced to incorporate expensive "cow-piss-injection" and particulate filters..

    Given that the smaller car was "Colt"
