  1. Google Inbox???? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Feel About the End Of Google+ ? (slashdot.org) · · Score: -1

    Honestly, nobody ever cared about Google+

    This Ask Slashdot should have been about Google Inbox instead!

  2. Re:People like Musk need to do more homework on Elon Musk Is Really Boring (bloomberg.com) · · Score: -1

    Learn a few things about urban planning, Elon. Don't arrogantly assume that you're the first person to want to address this problem. Smart growth and sustainable, walkable, transit-oriented development is a far better solution than drilling holes in the ground and cracking puns about the word "boring."

    Elon: "Guess what? The pit just got 2 feet deeper!"

  3. Re:No Subject on Google Begins Blocking Third-Party Jabber Invites · · Score: -1

    Amen to this. The spam invites are getting increasingly annoying. I'm also ok with this development because it's not like Google is advertising their GTalk service as Jabber in the first place. You could always open a Jabber account somewhere else if you still want to communicate with other users running third-party Jabber accounts.

  4. Showing crack? on Online Narcotics Store 'Silk Road' Is Showing Cracks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Showing crack just now? But that's like a staple drug.

  5. Re:Ubuntu is dead to me on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Out; Unity Gets a Second Chance · · Score: 1

    After Unity even Mint's mod of GNOME 3 looks and feels tolerable to me. Been working with it just fine.

  6. Ubuntu is dead to me on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Out; Unity Gets a Second Chance · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ubuntu was dead to me since the moment they tried to force Unity down out throats. I'm sticking to Mint from now on.

  7. It has come! on Valve's Steam & Games Coming To Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Year of the Linux (Gaming) Desktop is finally here!

  8. Obligatory on Researchers Create "Mighty Mouse" With Gene Tweak · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new rodent overlords that come to save the day.

  9. Re:Hmmm.. what if on Lizard Previously Unknown To Science Found On Vietnam Menu · · Score: 1

    No, you didn't. House admitted afterwards that he lied about it. That woman cheated on her husband but refused to admit it.

  10. Re:Open office != MS Office on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Car analogies would work better if you could warez a car...

    But you wouldn't download a car

  11. Re:Are there bot v. bot competitions in SC? on StarCraft AI Competition Results · · Score: 1

    In any case, I'm happy that bots and their authors are getting some prizes and recognition, because I think their work is incredibly important and fertile. Bots are out future.

    I, for one, welcome our new bot overlords.

  12. Re:The New Tardis on First Impressions of the 11th Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but a pinball plunger, an old typewriter and a decor that looks ripped from a kid TV show just doesn't suit the supposedly alien look of the inside of the TARDIS. Too many earth parts, levers and buttons too obvious. The new TARDIS is a pale joke compared to the previous one.

    Well, I guess you never met McCoy's TARDIS from the old series.

    This one has a nice blend of old and new, but I gotta say, the thing that wins me the most about it is precisely the typewriter. The orange glow has to go, though (TARDISbuntu?).

  13. Re:Watched it, impressed! on First Impressions of the 11th Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    She didn't regenerate. She never died, that's all.

  14. Re:Uh...Avast? on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    ...seriously? Conflicker? Dude. There are many ways to prevent Conflicker at this point, the easiest of which involves a patch directly from Microsoft.

    Maybe, but... do they have a patch for Conficker?

  15. Glad the whole main cast from Futurama is back on Details Emerge On Futurama's "Rebirth" (and Return) · · Score: 1

    ...And Zoidberg.

  16. Yo dawg on Microsoft Lifts XP Mode Hardware Requirement · · Score: 0

    So I heard you liked virtualization...

  17. Nonsense! on The Value of BASIC As a First Programming Language · · Score: 1

    I started with BASIC and now I'm a professional Visual Basic developer!

  18. Imagine on Cisco Introduces a 322 Tbit/sec. Router · · Score: 1

    Imagine running a Beowulf cluster of these... each one running Linux!

    ...Wait, does it run Linux?

  19. Re:she? on Python Essential Reference 4th Ed. · · Score: 1

    I'll add that it's impressive how sensitive men are to issues of sexism and gender discrimination when they perceive themselves to be the victims.

    We are delicate flowers.

  20. Re:Enter the Matrix was OK... on Failed Games That Damaged Or Killed Their Companies · · Score: 1

    Eeek! Is there anything that Microsoft can't buy?

  21. Re:Enter the Matrix was OK... on Failed Games That Damaged Or Killed Their Companies · · Score: 1

    Whatever happened to Rare anyways? They published amazing games (The Donkey Kong saga, Battletoads, GoldenEye, Killer Instrinct; just to mention a few) but I never heard from them again.

  22. Re:she? on Python Essential Reference 4th Ed. · · Score: 1

    Bah, Python is for girls anyways. Everybody knows that PERL is the language of true men.

  23. Bob on Samsung Enters Smartphone Wars With Bada OS · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, get your pitchforks and torches! I think I found the guy who wrote Windows!

    Is it really the guy who wrote Windows? Maybe it's the guy who wrote Microsoft Bo-Wait...

  24. Jiggawatts on LHC Reaches Record Energy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dammit Slashdot, at least learn to use Jiggawatts instead of TeV or whichever crazy measure Europeans have, don't forget about your American audience!

  25. Re:You have an ego problem on Do You Hate Being Called an "IT Guy?" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Daddy, why is there a woman in Slashdot?
