  1. Re:3D... on Sony Unveils Smartphone With 4K Screen · · Score: 1

    I would drool over a screen that had 808ppi!

    I believe you would be using it incorrectly.

  2. Re:Not bad in principle on Wikipedia Blocks Hundreds of Accounts Doing Paid Editing · · Score: 1

    Then there's this guy. I don't know him, but he's my hero.

  3. Re:they don't ban installation of open source on New FCC Rules Could Ban WiFi Router Firmware Modification · · Score: 1

    The FSF seems to be taking this seriously.

  4. Re:Mobile Phones Can Spread Infectious Diseases. on Mobile Phone Data Can Track the Spread of Infectious Diseases · · Score: 1

    Infectious diseases on public phones wiped out the Golgafrincians in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    We also know that diseases mutate and evolve.

    Apparently, public phone diseases have evolved from public phones to cell phones, and also from a fictional story to the real world.

  5. Re:He is not a Republican on Jeb Bush Comes Out Against Encryption · · Score: 1

    A good start would be to remove corporate contributions to political campaigns.

    Crap. Now I'm seriously getting wistful. If only we could fix that one.

  6. Re:buh, bye on Jeb Bush Comes Out Against Encryption · · Score: 1

    Help me remember here. How long has it been that the Republicans have been holding primaries with something approaching two dozen candidates? It seems like a relatively recent phenomenon, like in the last three elections or so.

  7. Re:Is there a law? on Two Arrests In Denmark For Spreading Information About Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    Seconded.

  8. Re:She's not alone. on Clinton Surrendering Email Server/Data To Feds After Top Secret Mail Found · · Score: 1

    -Donald Trump has been sending all of his email to a server in Mexico because it's cheaper than handling it in the USA.

    ...where he has only men operating the servers, because he pays women more then men.

  9. How sad is your world view when you think see two people do something entirely natural and REQUIRED FOR THE SURVIVAL OF OUR SPECIES and it offends you.

    You mean "two girls one cup"?

  10. Re:Peace Prize for Snowden on Two Years Later, White House Responds To 'Pardon Edward Snowden' Petition · · Score: 1

    That would be an interesting counterpoint to the Nobel Peace Prize given to Obama, which was apparently squandered.

  11. Re:WSJ is incorrect in title, implication on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 3, Funny

    "It's almost like someone with billions of dollars has been trying to smear the leading Democratic candidate for a few years now."

    That Bill! He's quite the prankster.

  12. Re:It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permiss on California Legislation May Allow First Responders To Take Out Drones · · Score: 1

    I thought about the loudspeaker option, too. However, I'm worried that anyone stupid enough to fly a drone that interferes with firefighters would also be too self-centered to cooperate. Maybe they authorities would need to include the threat "or we will destroy your drone now".

  13. Re:Not a factor in actually secure environments on Ask Slashdot: Do You Use a Smartphone At Work, Contrary to Policy? · · Score: 1

    And Pretend Secure places usually have policies that are ill conceived, impractical, and designed to impede productivity more than maintain security.

    Yeah, I thought about the TSA, also.

    They need a nonlethal solution. Bullets, or even shotgun pellets, would have to fall somewhere eventually.

    Wow, there it is. I had looked all over for it, but just could not see it until you pointed it out. Thanks.

    They could have linked the word "transcript" in the summary to the transcript, but no.

  18. What transcript? on MetaMorph Helps non-Engineers Design Circuits (Video) · · Score: 1

    Link to the transcript?

  19. Re:Left to journalists? on Towards Public-Friendly Open Science: YouTube Alongside Journal Articles? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm only being sarcastic.

    My reaction is mainly because of some of the horrible hyperbole that I have seen in summaries by bad journalists. Things like "artificial life created!" Then it turns out to be a computer simulation of some kind of goat-monkey hybrid, or whatever. I cringe at myself for taking the bait, whenever I read stuff like that.

    Like many interested readers, I depend on good science journalists so I can understand discoveries that are outside my field. I enjoy reading well-written articles.

  20. Left to journalists? on Towards Public-Friendly Open Science: YouTube Alongside Journal Articles? · · Score: 2

    Or should this role be left to science journalists?

    Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah!

    No.

    Dice seems to be rolling out the beta site with all its crap and and its de-emphasis on user-provided content, but under the guise of the classic site.

    Yeah! Fuck classic!

    It's a small world after all!

    "The only mistake is that people found out about it."

    THAT is the "seconds to destroy" part, that the parent referred to.
