  1. Re:Meanwhile on 10GbE: What the Heck Took So Long? · · Score: 1

    Do you have a 10 kV, 100 A electrical service to your home?

    If I did, would I be able to recharge my Leaf in a reasonable amount of time? Seriously, where I work, we move a lot of radar data. Everything now is gigabit. Do we need 10Gb? No, but if it were available at a reasonable price it would allow us to change the operating parameters of the radars and do new things with them. So, while we don't need it, we could use it, but the price needs to come down first, and the only way that will happen is if it becomes common.

    Hell, we can't even get Tooheys around here, much less Mountain Goat.

    Oh, come on. I have known for years that beer jams my inertial navigation system. And, it encrypts my communications, too!

  4. Re:Summary misleading - and so is TFA on The Coming War Against Personal Photography and Video · · Score: 2

    . It's sort of a televised daily propaganda broadcast that gets the audience worked up and involves chanting, screaming and throwing things at the screen.)

    Like Monday Night Football when Cosell was still in the booth.

  5. Re:ballistic missile defense is impossible on US To Deploy Ballistic Missile Interceptors In Response To North Korean Threats · · Score: 1

    I call shenanigans. The experts concluded that intercepting ballistic missiles was impossible back in the 80's when Ronald "Ray Gun" proposed it.

    Experts have concluded all kinds of things were impossible, until someone else found out how to make them possible. You aren't trying very hard.

  6. Clarkson! Glad to see you on /.

  7. Re:I find this rather nauseous... on The Science of Hugo Chavez's Long Term Embalming · · Score: 1

    Well, Samuel Dinsmoor seems to have been a nice guy. Not sure I would call him a leader, though

    You have no credibility

  9. Re:But what is beyond science is .... on Scientists Transplant Functional Eyes On the Tails of Tadpoles · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's like claiming Bat Boy is real.

  10. Re:Cue the puns on Scientists Transplant Functional Eyes On the Tails of Tadpoles · · Score: 1

    "If my tadpole was ugly as you, I'd implant eyes on its butt and teach it to swim backwards"

  11. Ha! on Six-Strikes System Starts In U.S. · · Score: 1

    "Major internet service providers today will start monitoring the internet traffic to their customers' computers ..." And the amount of porn viewed zeros out.

  12. Cadillac on Minority Report's Legacy of Terrible Interfaces · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Which is why I am stunned that Cadillac is using this in a car. In fact, they are bragging that this is better than buttons. Because what we need in our cars is more shit that takes our eyes off the road.

  13. Re:Easy solution on US Stealth Jet Has To Talk To Allied Planes Over Unsecured Radio · · Score: 1

    I you want them to die laughing, just read them "The Joke."

  14. Re:No more corn juice in my fuel!!! on Corn Shortage Hampers US Ethanol Production · · Score: 2

    My experimentation shows a break even point of 15 cents. If the difference in price between E10 and E0 gas is less than 15 cents it is more cost effective to burn E0. Guess what the price difference almost always is? There are times that the stations selling E10 go up in price before the stations selling pure gas, but not often.

  15. Re:Unlimited Supply of Laptops? on Samsung Laptop Bug Is Not Linux Specific · · Score: 1

    Apparently, my memory was also packed with explosives. Of course it was the Smothers Brothers. Ed would have had a stroke if someone had blown up a drum (or anything else) on his show.

  16. Re:Unlimited Supply of Laptops? on Samsung Laptop Bug Is Not Linux Specific · · Score: 3, Funny

    I might be confused, but don't kernel devs normally destroy their instruments at the end of each show?

    Well, when on the Ed Sullivan Show, they have been known to pack explosives into the drum memory.

    Don't you mean "halal"?

  18. Make it hard for them on School Board Considers Copyright Ownership of Student and Teacher Works · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1. Form an LLC
    2. Acting as your child's agent, put them under contract with the LLC for their creative works until their 18th birthday, with an option for the child to retrieve all their rights from the LLC at that time.

    I would not touch MS stock with a 10 inch pole.

    I just wish MS had felt this way about their users all these years.

    That's one hell of a giant e-book reader.

    Well, that's based on the amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area this morning.

  24. Re:Finally on Cisco Exits the Consumer Market, Sells Linksys To Belkin · · Score: 1

    My experience was the opposite, mostly. Several Linksys devices worked for a while, then just stopped. As in stopped in the middle of a web page load. The last one did have firmware problems, and by then I was sick of Linksys, and bought a MikroTik.

  25. Re:locks and cables on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Theft Devices For Luggage? · · Score: 1

    Well, his other package was so large he could not put the luggage in the front of his pants.
