  1. Re:It is owned by Google on Motorola Is Listening · · Score: 1

    When was the version of Android that he was running released by Motorola to their subscribers?

  2. Re:Easy solution on Did Internet Sales Tax Backers Bribe Congress? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Ah, the Rick Perry road to wealth..

  3. Re: Sounds like a Romney Style Buyout / Shakedown on Rival Dell Buyout Plans Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    Actually, Dell does have Dell stock in its 401(k) and it doesn't have an employee stock purchase plan...

  4. Re:Exit Interviews are always flowery on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    "You'll be lucky to get him to work for you.."

  5. Re:California Gas Prices on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the Prius had a *very* short aesthetic lifespan.

  6. Re:Good. on NYC Teachers Forbidden To "Friend" Students · · Score: 2

    Teacher! Leave those kids alone!

  7. Re:BFD on $60 Light Bulb Debuts On Earth Day · · Score: 1

    "LED light bulbs have been out for years. I've replaced every bulb in my house with them, already.."

    The question is, how many times?

  8. Re:Not to double post... on HP Ships Switches With Malware Infected Flash Cards · · Score: 1

    The switches probably run Linux internally, so the malware wasn't noticed by QA. Take the card out of a switch and stick it in your Windows PC, and the issue surfaces.

  9. Re:Define on Ask Slashdot: Is a Home Drone Feasible? · · Score: 2

    Just launch your own satellite! :)

  10. Re:Cheaper iPad 2 on What the iPad 3 Looks Like · · Score: 1

    "Tablets are already outselling the desktop PC market."

    In related news, toy guns are outselling real guns.

  11. Re:Obama will not veto this. on Internet Blacklist Back In Congress · · Score: 1

    Obama actually managed to give "Hope" a negative connotation.

  12. China has moved past farming on China Restricts Minors From Using Virtual Currency · · Score: 1

    I liked the part of Tencent saying that this won't affect their business. The Chinese gold sellers don't farm for gold anymore, they are simply hacking into accounts, selling off the characters' possessions and taking the gold.

  13. Drunk drivers! on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    I once wrote an interface to a warehouse inventory program, where I had to work in the warehouse on a sawhorse table and no chair. But, the *worst* part was the forklifts flying by behind me driven by forklift operators who were keeping coolers of grain alcohol punch in the warehouse. I went to lunch with them and the waitress brought them "their usual", two shots of bourbon and a beer.

  14. It's obvious on US Responsible For the Majority of Cyber Attacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    2 out of 3 US hackers choose SecureWorks clients. Remember, discerning hackers choose SecureWorks.

  15. Re:You eat the food, you pay the bill on Creative Capitalism Gets Microsoft $528M Tax Break · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure, I've never gone through the process of incorporating. I imagine it has some provisions for the protections that corporations are afforded, as well as agreements about paying corporate taxes and other restrictions to corporate behavior.

  16. Re:You eat the food, you pay the bill on Creative Capitalism Gets Microsoft $528M Tax Break · · Score: 1

    When you incorporate, aren't you creating a contract with the government?

  17. Re:Emacs Pinky on Does Computer Use Actually Cause Carpal Tunnel? · · Score: 1

    Switch Caps Lock to Ctrl and leave the Ctrl key alone. You'll still have some trouble on other people's keyboards, but most folks won't notice the difference on your keyboard.

  18. Re:So that means... on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    Maybe the true reason is that the game designers want all the women gamers to have webcams...

  19. Re:Butt... on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    /em scratches her balls

  20. Butt... on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 0

    They want me to spend years playing a game looking at a guy's butt? No thanks.

  21. Re:And unlike so many other Chinese Manufacturers on The Forbidden City of Terry Gou · · Score: 2, Insightful

    $0.60 an hour is listed as minimum wage, not "a lot in China".

  22. Re:HuH on 'Til Tech Do Us Part · · Score: 1

    I bought her a night light.

  23. Re:wtf on Korea to Clone Drug Sniffing Dogs · · Score: 1

    Given a choice between cloning a Kentucky Derby winner and taking a chance on siring a winner, most would go with the clone.

  24. Re:Do you mean Contra Costa? on Pressure Is On IBM To Forgive Millions In IT Debt · · Score: 1

    I am guessing that this was part of some "laptop for every student" initiative. The laptops probably got sold under the table when the initiative got dropped.

  25. Re:He's dead, Jim on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 1

    At least the Sopranos got an ending. As a frustrated fan of Carnivale and Deadwood, I'd like to point out that it could have been much worse.
