  1. Only 1K? on India To Send World's Last Telegram · · Score: 1

    Funny that they use the word "only" when saying that a thousand people are still employed in the telegram industry there.

  2. Re:Taxes in the cloud on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get your goddamn government hands off my IRS tax filings!!

  3. Not OK No Matter What. on Why DOJ Didn't Need a "Super Search Warrant" To Snoop On Fox News' E-mail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't let the Red/Blue Faux News debate cloud this issue. It doesn't matter who did it or to whom it is not okay and this policy should be banned.

  4. Cure for the common heart attack! on Is Daylight Saving Time Worth Saving? · · Score: 2

    Chances of heart-attack were stated to increase by 10 percent on the days following the spring change, and to decrease by 10% "after gaining the hour in the fall" I've found a cure for all heart attacks! Set the clocks back an hour once a month! (I'll accept my Nobel Prize award in Bitcoins please).

  5. Re:The Consumer Wins on Microsoft Restores Transfer Rights To Office 2013 · · Score: 1

    This was going to be the nail in the coffin for future upgrading of office. Already at work I've been using 2010 for a few months and it just isn't as good as 2007. Going from 2003 to 2007 was a big learning curve with the new ribbon, but 2010 changed the behavior and keyboard shortcuts without adding any features that I've found.

  6. Re:I read the title wrong... on Russian Meteor Likely an Apollo Asteroid Chunk · · Score: 1

    I saw "Apollo" and thought US Space debris...and considered hiding under my desk as World War III ensues. (There was one Russian minister that declared that the meteorite was not from space but part of a U.S. weapons test).

  7. Dead cat on Drone Made of Lego Takes Flight · · Score: 0

    ...Now make a dead cat out of Legos and you can call me impressed. Copter mod optional. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kslv7l75jQ

  8. Re:A fitting end on McAfee Arrested In Guatemala · · Score: 2

    This is by no means an end. This story will continue on until McAfee is in the ground I'd suspect.

  9. Re:Why use paypal? on Amazon Payment Adds "No Class Action" Language To Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    Buying from 30 vendors with PayPal: 30 vendors have your email address. Buying from 30 vendors with a CC: 30 vendors have your credit card. It's just that simple. The idea of PayPal is brilliant - The execution is just shady since they haven't been designated/regulated like a bank which they should be.

  10. Good News Everyone on Study: the Universe Has Almost Stopped Making New Stars · · Score: 1

    Based on the number of stars in the universe according to some random website I found, there are 5 x 10^21 stars yet to be born!

  11. Re:RT is a LOSER on A Look At Competitors to the Surface and iPad · · Score: 1

    Yup!! What he said. I have a netbook (several actually) and they are often unusable for productivity due to the screen size and sloowwww processor. This device seems like something that I can actually get work done on. I almost got a (very favorably reviewed) Slate recently but decided instead to wait for Microsoft's tablet. I think it's definitely worth the extra $$ to get one that actually runs Windows 8 natively. A walled garden is only as usable as its app base which is puny for Windows RT.

  12. RT is a LOSER on A Look At Competitors to the Surface and iPad · · Score: 2

    But the Wintel Surface 8 Pro looks very exciting. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

  13. Malcolm warned you on Chicken Vaccines Combine To Produce Deadly Virus · · Score: 1, Funny

    Life...finds a way

  14. Don't delay TV Show DVDS on US ISPs Delay Rollout of "Six Strikes" Copyright Enforcement Framework · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't delay TV show DVDs until 3/4 of the way through the next season and I won't pirate the shows!

  15. It's worth it! on "Expert Body" To Decide Which Sites To Block For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Remember, The RIAA has damages in excess of the entire planet's GDP*. *According to the RIAA

  16. Re:In before... on Microwave Map of Entire Moon Revealed · · Score: 1

    What about the alien moon base on the dark side of the moon? Did that show up or are the Chinese part of the conspiracy as well?

  17. Re:Also add horse sounds on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    But where will we get coconuts?! The coconut's tropical!

  18. Re:Haven't seen free N yet on Open Source Router To Replace WRT54GL? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look to the Teddy Bear build of Tomato. It supports USB and N depending on the router. It's what's running on my WL-520GU and my new RT-N16. The RT-N16 has wireless N, 4 gigabit port switch, and 2 USB ports. The wireless is limited to 2.4GHz but that is the only difference between it and the theoretical dream router. The site is being upgraded right now, but this is the guide to use to get tomato working on the N16 http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63587.

  19. Re:PassGorithm - One Algorithm, infinite passwords on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    So as soon as anybody gets a single one of your passwords, they now get the whole kit-n-kabootle.

  20. Re:Comcast on Internet Probably Couldn't Handle a Flu Pandemic · · Score: 1

    Absolutely agreed. This is a smoke and mirrors attack against a free and open Internet. Don't f'ing let them get away with this!

  21. Avastly superior antivirus... on AVG Update Breaks iTunes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My antivirus is Avastly superior to AVG, but I don't use iTunes anyway. Sansa ftw.

  22. Re:I'm not sure what the big deal is on Comcast DNS Redirection Launched In Trial Markets · · Score: 1

    Mature websites have their own setups to handle 404 errors and it really should be THEM deciding where your redirects go. Anyone who runs a website can sue Comcast for this and I think they should!

  23. Pry my TomTom on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    You can pry my TomTom from my cold dead hands. There's no way I'm going to depend on my phone for this....yet.

  24. Are Slashdot and Lifehacker this desperate? on Is Sat-Nav Destroying Local Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    Lots of completely irrelevant and nonsensical posts lately seem to indicate a lull in news, politics, and pop culture....I blame Michael Jackson. He should have died years ago and we could have dispensed with all the nonsense then.

  25. Daylight CCFL Bulbs FTW on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    The "daylight" style ccfls are the only thing I will ever use the rest of my life...ever. This story is irrelevant... so why am I posting? I don't know. Deal with it. (Actually, I blame alcohol)
