  1. Anyone else remember the "COMEFROM" statement on Software Hall of Fame Member Ed Yourdon Dies (wikipedia.org) · · Score: 2

    A bit of satire from the 70's https://www.fortran.com/come_f...

  2. Re:Just on Cold Fusion Rears Ugly Head With Claims of Deuterium-Powered Homes · · Score: 1

    I think you mean dilithium.

  3. More porn... on Research Scientists To Use Network Much Faster Than Internet · · Score: 1

    'nuf said

  4. Re:#thepowerofmarketing on $340 Audiophile Ethernet Cable Tested · · Score: 1

    The more expensive cables allow me to hear all of the rich colors of my music.

  5. Re:Copyright? on Automakers Unwilling To Share Driver Data (Yet) · · Score: 1

    Not copyright specific, but I found this interesting item: http://www.ncsl.org/research/t... Varies by state, but in those states that have addressed the issue, it belongs to the vehicle owner although there are some exceptions.

  6. Copyright? on Automakers Unwilling To Share Driver Data (Yet) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since I created the data by driving, and it is unique to my driving, can I assert copyright over it?

  7. Will the person... on Mystery Woman Recycles $200,000 Apple I Computer · · Score: 2

    ...who left the Apple I computer please form a line at the door.

  8. I'm having a tough time... on EFF Fighting Automakers Over Whether You Own Your Car · · Score: 1

    ...coming up with a good care analogy for this.

  9. Pfft... on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    I still have a hand-me-down from Doug Englebart. Now, get of my lawn.

  10. Re:Hacker Group? on FBI Allegedly Investigating Lizard Squad Member Over Xbox Live, PSN Attacks · · Score: 1

    hothardware.com is hardly "all over the news"

  11. Can I... on 3D Printer Owner's Network Puts Together Buyer's Guide · · Score: 1

    Can I print a 3D version of the buyer's guide?

  12. Re:Does it look like a potato? on European Space Agency Picks Site For First Comet Landing In November · · Score: 2

    No, but it does have a maze of many twisty passages, all alike.

  13. Re: Left or Right? on Google's Driverless Cars Capable of Exceeding Speed Limit · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. This varies by state. In Missouri, the handbook says "should"; in New York is says "must"

  14. Always fascinating on ISS Earth at Night Photos Crowdsourced For Science · · Score: 1

    Back when the shuttle was flying and NASA-TV covered the missions, if the crew was sleeping they would often just point the camera at the ground and broadcast that feed. It is a lot harder to identify a part of the earth than you might think, especially when you don't have a good idea of which direction is North.

  15. Re:Wow, seriously - that is annoying on Bezos-Owned Washington Post Embeds Amazon Buy-It-Now Buttons Mid-sentence · · Score: 1

    The annoying part is not the link itself, but the stupid button. The different color of the text lets me know that it might be a link and hovering the mouse over it will show me where the link goes. If it says "amazon" then I can safely assume I could buy the item in question there. It should be just an innocuous as a similar link to a blog or another article.

  16. Obligatory... on The Last Three Months Were the Hottest Quarter On Record · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Boron? on Chemists Build First "Buckyball" Made of Boron · · Score: 1

    Yum! Bacon!

    I hope the helicopter had those operating. That would make everything legal.

  19. Re:I hope not. on Is K-12 CS Education the Next Common Core? · · Score: 0

    Actually, 2+2=5 is correct for large values of 2.

  20. Re:they become aggresive... on LinkedIn Spam Lawsuit Can Continue · · Score: 2

    I get similar recommendations from time to time. Not from close friends but rather from former coworkers that I was not close to. Considering that I retired almost two years ago, they are most certainly spam.

  21. Re:One stone, two birds on Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Loses Deep Sea Vehicle · · Score: 1

    First MH370 in the Indian Ocean, then this one off New Zealand. Clearly Godzilla is heading into the Pacific.

  22. Re:Send them out on Ask Slashdot: Which VHS Player To Buy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Must be nice to be part of the 1%.

    It is.

  23. Send them out on Ask Slashdot: Which VHS Player To Buy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had some VHS tapes converted to DVD at Walmart. Cost was about $20 for 2 tapes. Took about a week. Results are quite good, considering the VHS tapes were made from old 8mm movies going back to the late 40's. At the time I looked at doing it myself, but decided my time was worth more than $20.

  24. Re:99.999% on Sophos Anti-Virus Update Identifies Sophos Code As Malware · · Score: 2

    You probably are thinking of "Sappho"

  25. Re:Wire tapping on Aussie Tax Office Wants Phone Tapping, Data Retention · · Score: 2

    Just ask Al Capone.
