    Actually, it predates "Little Billy" by more than 100 years. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hornswoggle

  2. Re:did similar on KegDroid: Combining Arduino, Android, and NFC to Dispense Beer · · Score: 1

    Nice, but there is a call for you, a lawyer for George Lucas.

  3. Re:No direct links in the TFA on Alan Turing Papers On Code Breaking Released By GCHQ · · Score: 3, Funny

    Turing is probably spinning in his grave trying to decode the meaning of the words "available" and "public" in the archive's announcements.

  4. Re:No fraud checking? on FBI Says Smart Meter Hacks Are Likely To Spread · · Score: 1

    Except that it involves the internet somehow, and therefore it's patentable.

    FTFY

  5. Re:There's Your Problem Right There on Tennessee Passes Bill That Allows "Teaching the Controversy" of Evolution · · Score: 5, Informative

    Don't you mean "sun is the center of our solar system"?

  6. Re:Groovy on Nanowire Forests Use Sunlight To Split Water · · Score: 3, Funny
  7. Thumb drives on DARPA Funding a $50 Drone-Droppable Spy Computer · · Score: 2

    Why not just drop $1.00 thumb drives loaded with spying software? 95% of the folks that find them will simply plug them into their computers (home or work) and "you're in".

  8. Re:Great engineering! on Mars Rover Opportunity Turns 8 · · Score: 1

    Well done!

  9. Re:winemaking gimmickry on Forget Space Beer, Order Meteorite Wine Instead · · Score: 3, Funny

    After reading that link, I now know where to sell my new and improved audio cables.

    I need another glass...

  11. Department of Patriotism on Help Rename the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    Who can argue with that.

  12. Obligatory... on US Drone Fleet Hit By Computer Virus · · Score: 0

    All your drone are belong to us.

  13. Re:Same problem, different format... on Ask Slashdot: Recovering Data From 20-Year-Old Diskettes? · · Score: 1

    Sam's Club photo department copied a couple of VHS tapes to DVD for me about 4 years ago. Something like $20 for two tapes. Also http://www.imemories.com/ although I have no experience with them.

  14. Re:Doesn't need to be ionizing to have an effect on "Wi-Fi Refugees" Shelter in West Virginia Mountains · · Score: 1

    That said, it's been shown that cell phone radiation can cause brain activity.

    Considering some of the folks I see on cell phones, I suspect the radiation stops brain activity.

  15. Re:Timing is everything on Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug · · Score: 2

    Frankly, upgrading to the latest version of your development environment, literally on the day of release, seems to be rather poor practice. Since "there are a lot of places for things to break," adding another one is unwise.

  16. The decrypt key... on Queen Elizabeth Sets a Code-Breaking Challenge · · Score: 1

    ...is what she carries in that purse!

  17. Re:the effect of cameras in courtrooms on Federal Courts To Begin First Digital Video Pilot · · Score: 1

    The jurors also knew their every in-court action would be up for public scrutiny, not the least of which was the final verdict. It's nearly impossible to determine how that affected each of them.

    The jurors were not shown during the trial, so I can't imagine how their in-court actions would be known.

  18. Re:For those of you not in the know of 1943... on Bringing Old Arcade Machines Into the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    I can understand how one could see "1943" and think it means "1943" instead of "1943". Common mistake. Happens all the time.

  19. Oops... on Fingerprint Scanner That Works From 6 Feet · · Score: 1

    I hope I'm not the only one who read the headline as something to do with scanning my feet. Need. More. Coffee.

    And Kennedy's "get a man to the moon and get back safely in this decade" was not a long term goal?

    Actually, 2+2 does equal 5, for some values of 2.

  22. Re:Joe Btfsplk on Artificial Clouds To Cool Qatar World Cup Stadiums · · Score: 1

    Shade should be OK. Joe's patent covers clouds with rain and lightning.

  23. Obligatory... on Sludge In Flask Gives Clues To Origin of Life · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new sludge overlords.

  24. When... on US Alarmed Over Japan's Nuclear Crisis · · Score: 2, Funny

  25. Re:My kids stumbled onto this on Verizon Offers Refunds For Fraudulent SMS Messages · · Score: 1

    Had a similar problem a few years ago with Sprint and a company called Blinko. All Sprint would do was tell me the name of the company that stuck the 9.99 charge on my bill. They said they could not prevent these sorts of charges. Took about 3 months but I did get the money back, no thanks to Sprint. Needless to say Sprint and I parted ways as the next opportunity.
