  1. Re:Professional on Criminal Photoshops Himself Into Charity Photos In Bid For Leniency · · Score: 1

    You make me do +1 to your Score:5 post.

  2. taking it to extreme.... on Italian Draft Wiretapping Law Under Fire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What if I just remembered the conversation I'd be otherwise (for example) recording on tape?

    Do they cut my brain media off? And send the rest to prison?

  3. Re:Maybe on Antidepressants In the Water Are Making Shrimp Suicidal · · Score: 1

    Actually it happens similarly to this:

    prawn in normal water: Zomg guys the light is driving me nuts lets go away ffs!
    prawn in anti-d. water: The light is wonderful and doesn't stress my puny crustacean brain at all. Why can't I have more light you fat fuck?

    It kindof reflects my experience with humans on anti-depressants.

    July the 4th
    Day of Gimp Fractal Eye Candy

  5. lemme make a sound of this.... on YouTube Hit By HTML Injection Vulnerability · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Mo-mo-mo-moonsterkill! Flawless victory!

    ..is he, like, new to the Internet?

  7. Re:Trackball on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have standard 104-button mouse....or how they call it.

  8. That basically means... on $1 Trillion In Minerals Found In Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    ...that afghanistan converts to another well-behaved american colony in a month or less.

  9. reminds me... on Researchers Create Social Engineering IRC Bot · · Score: 1

    Reminds me that "magician" who was able to win 50% simultaneous chess matches against any number of professional players.

  10. ThirdLife? on The Matrix For Businesses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    see subject. I think this has already been here before, with no real success.

  11. reminds me... on Recent Sales Hint That Tape For Storage Is Far From Dead · · Score: 1

    ...of duct tape. One can always find a good place for some.

    No idea why.

    kthxbye

  14. Slashdot Stats Report: on Why Apple Is So Sticky · · Score: 1

    3rd anti-apple story in a row. Keep it up! :]

  15. This brings to mind... on New Ebola Drug 100% Effective In Monkeys · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...wouldn't this be a great generic treatment for all infections by viruses?

    If not, I'd like to know the reason.

  16. Just to make it clear... on Gulf Gusher Worst Case Scenario · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Obviously, one can't easily plug the hole. Now don't tell me that there on earth is NO device that would just connect to the broken pipe and let the oil flow somewhere where we want to see it? Yes, I mean a pipe.

    I know that the connection needs a bit of engineering and luck, but for me it still seems several times easier than stopping the flow.

  17. Reminds me of... on Chains of RFCs and Chains of Laws? · · Score: 1

    IANAL -> IANARFCL

    in fact, organizing RFCs into something consistent would be perfect, but I guess there's no one to do it right, just as with the law.

  18. Re:Apple Fanbois on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 1

    Constricting developers because you're going to change the platform? Really?

    That's how it's traditionally done, isn't it?

  19. Re:Breaking news on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    MAN! it's the first (well kindof) positive thing about ipad ever, and you're still mean!

  20. Re:Larry, can we get signed types, properties and on "Father of Java" Resigns From Sun/Oracle · · Score: 1

    he could just do middleware monad for haskell.

  21. Re:Craves Metal on 5-Axis Robot Carves Metal Like Butter · · Score: 1

    I, for one, put this on the list of things I definitely wanna play with.

    Also, how much does it cost?

  22. idle idle idle on Japanese Astronaut Gets Designer "Space Suit" · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't this belong to idle?

  23. DND on OpenTTD 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Dear Overlord of Cargo Transport,

    I don't have time for your pathetic versioning proposals! (My south-western 6-line maglev connection is filled with stuck trains!)

  24. technological problems on Tsunami Warning From Space? · · Score: 1

    1] I can't imagine the power source that would supply this amount of power. Maybe something with capacitators.

    2] what about clouds? also, there's sometimes a sun-lightened atmosphere that you really can't see through (we call it 'day')

  25. insight on. on The Economics of Perfect Software · · Score: 1

    I might misunderstand the actual message, but still, I see a small benefit for leaving minor bugs around:

    Imagine a long-running project (just like cobol+finances). Several core programmers go away, and you have a big heap of code that no one can maintain, therefore you will need to rewrite all your software "as soon as possible" and spend huge amount of money on migration.

    If you leave a tiny annoying thingy there, it will inevitably attract hackers that:

    a] formulate the real nature of a bug (gaining insight on how it really works)

    b] eventually hack through all the code and apply the oneliner (slowly becoming experts on the topic. Happens only if source is available to users/admins)

    In short, 'annoying non-critical bugs produce maintainers'.

    (well, maybe I am a development lunatic)
