  1. but, but, but... on Jury Tells Apple To Pay $532.9 Million In Patent Suit · · Score: -1

    I didn't hear Apple complaining when they sued Samsung over a patent on a box with rounded corners. Maybe now these giant companies will band together and lobby for changes in the patent system.

  2. As long as... on Should a Service Robot Bring an Alcoholic a Drink? · · Score: 1

    as long as I don't have to tip the robot

  3. Best of both worlds on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    an engineering/science degree + computer science degree

  4. For Chrome on Ask Slashdot: Most Useful Browser Extensions? · · Score: 1

    Chrome: Adblock Plus, Web Of Trust, (WOT), Xmarks, Context Menu Search (allows you to highlight text as a search parameter and open results in a new tab. ex: Dictionary.com, Wikipedia, Google, etc)

  5. Re:Peanuts on Your Java Code Is Mostly Fluff, New Research Finds · · Score: 2

    Yes, if you want your code to be human readable and self-documenting. If you want something with little or no fluff, maybe go the assembly language route?

  6. Jon Stewart is leaving... on Jon Stewart Leaving 'The Daily Show' · · Score: 1

    ...to the great relief of conservative pundits and politicians.

  7. I don't see the big deal on Farmers Struggling With High-Tech Farm Equipment · · Score: 1

    The same has been true of cars and trucks for more than a decade now. People can't as easily be Saturday morning mechanics, anymore. If something is wrong with your vehicle, you bring it to a technician who can read from your diagnostics port to isolate what the problem is.

  8. Gattaca on British MPs Approve 3-Parent Babies · · Score: 1

    A precursor to Gattaca?

  9. Re:It's about time. on Simon Pegg On Board To Co-Write Next Star Trek Film · · Score: 1

    Hopefully he can fix the clusterfuck that Abrams left, and take the franchise in a new, and original direction.

    I agree with you on this...I did not like the JJ Abrams reboot of the franchise. Now, Abrams is supposedly producing and directing the new Star Wars trilogy...Prepare for disappointment.

  10. My opinion on Amazon Plans To Release 12 Movies a Year In Theaters and On Prime · · Score: 2

    As an Amazon Prime member, I have this to say: COOL!!

  11. a flaw in the popes statement on Pope Francis: There Are Limits To Freedom of Expression · · Score: 1

    The flaw in the Pope's statement is that there will always be religious fundamentalists who are offended no matter what you do. For example, draw the prophet Mohamed and they will kill you. Visit as an an ally on foreign soil and it will offend those who consider you an infidel trespassing on holy land. If you're a doctor performing abortions, you might offend someone to the extent that your clinic will be firebombed and you will be killed. If you are Israel, your very existence is an offense to many radical Muslims in the Middle East. If you are gay, you offend to the extend that your rights are curtailed or worse. If you subscribe to (insert religion)-ism, your very choice in faith will offend someone else who does not subscribe to your faith (or lack of faith). That's my two cents.

  12. Offended that he specifically choose the wording of his post to offend Christians.

    Isaac Newton was a Christian, who happened to be born on December 25th. You do realize that Jesus birthday is only observed on December 25th, don't you.

  13. Que the norovirus jokes on Touring a Carnival Cruise Simulator: 210 Degrees of GeForce-Powered Projection · · Score: 1

    Que the norovirus jokes

  14. What next? on Webcast Funerals Growing More Popular · · Score: 1

    What's next? Live Webcast funerals with live comments?

  15. huh? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Electronics-Induced Inattentiveness? · · Score: 1

    If you were in your 50's or 60's, I'd say you were suffering from Alzheimers or just having a senior moment. However, since you are in your 20's, maybe get a CT scan? That's just my opinion, as I have a complete lack of medical knowledge. Also, I'm just joking.

  16. frickin' laser beams on Trains May Soon Come Equipped With Debris-Zapping Lasers · · Score: 1

    You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have trains with frickin' laser beams attached

  17. Re:ignored on Hawking Warns Strong AI Could Threaten Humanity · · Score: 1

    Who knows if or what resources we'd compete for? Energy may not be a problem if its cheap, plentiful and renewable. Food may not be a problem. geographical space may be a problem, use of the electromagnetic spectrum could be a problem, air traffic could be a problem, etc, etc.

  18. ignored on Hawking Warns Strong AI Could Threaten Humanity · · Score: 1

    I'm betting on "ignored."

    unless AI has to compete for resources with us.

  19. All Glory to the HypnoToad on The Schizophrenic Programmer Who Built an OS To Talk To God · · Score: 4, Funny

    "[The TempleOS V2.17 welcome screen] greets the user with a riot of 16-color, scrolling, blinking text; depending on your frame of reference"

    Does talking to "God" involve having an epileptic seizure?

  20. replacements on Researchers Say the Tech Worker Shortage Doesn't Really Exist · · Score: 1

    "is the industry’s desire for lower-wage, more-exploitable guest workers, not a lack of available American staff." If they want that, they can start with replacing the highest paid, least skilled workers in the companies...the upper management.

  21. The end result on Coding Bootcamps Presented As "College Alternative" · · Score: 1

    I think after 19 weeks, you'd have at best, someone who can write spaghetti code for an application that may or may not work properly.

  22. Gaaahhhduh! on Robot Makes People Feel Like a Ghost Is Nearby · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this also explains why some people believe in an invisible sky daddy

  23. science and religion on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 1

    As Stephen Jay Gould said, Religion and Science are non-overlapping magisteria

  24. Re:Why at a place of learning? on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 1

    Why isn't there a designated place for bullshit like this?

    There is a place called a church but apparently, the fundis aren't satisfied unless they encroach on other venues.

  25. Re:architecture on Sketches Released of New Star Wars Museum · · Score: 1
