    The personal PIN number that identifies him?

  2. Re:Ingy döt Net on Ingy döt Net Tells How Acmeism Bridges Gaps in the Software World (Video) · · Score: 1

    Hi Facepalm. Nice to meet you. Are you related to the Dotcom family?

  3. Re:Can it find Waldo?... on Google's Latest Machine Vision Breakthrough · · Score: 2

    No but it can spy on you day and night.

  4. Re:Small correction on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up Non-Obnoxious Outdoor Lighting? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The horror disgust and hilarity concerning "fanny packs" are very real, but they have nothing to do with the meaning of the word "fanny."

  5. Re:let me translate that into slashdotese: on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up Non-Obnoxious Outdoor Lighting? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course! Without it I am likely to be eaten by a grue.

  6. Re:A better way: on A Radical Plan For Saving Microsoft's Surface RT · · Score: 1

    That would be the worst outcome from Microsoft's perspective.

  7. Re:Peer review on The Man Who Convinced Us We Needed Vitamin Supplements · · Score: 3, Informative

    Linus Pauling was diagnosed with terminal cancer in his 60s and given a few months to live, then went on living to the age of 93. So either the megadoses of vitamin C really did help him live another 30 years, or he had a rare spontaneous remission. You can't really blame him for reaching the conclusion that he did.

  8. Re:How do they compare to pollen? on 3D Printers Shown To Emit Potentially Harmful Nanosized Particles · · Score: 1

    Yours maybe. My brain is HUGE!

  9. Re:Right up there with frying food or scented cand on 3D Printers Shown To Emit Potentially Harmful Nanosized Particles · · Score: 1

    Also known as Dreamliners

  10. Re:Panic inducing on 3D Printers Shown To Emit Potentially Harmful Nanosized Particles · · Score: 1

    Not all plastics are alike. PLA is biodegradable.

  11. Re:Something must go on 3D Printers Shown To Emit Potentially Harmful Nanosized Particles · · Score: 1

    Before 3D printing came along PLA was used almost exclusively for surgical procedures...
    OMG Big Pharma is involved. We're all going to die!

  12. Re:So... How worrying is this, really? on 3D Printers Shown To Emit Potentially Harmful Nanosized Particles · · Score: 1

    Soot is nasty stuff. I'd rather take my chances with PLA which degrades in the human body. It's the stuff they make self dissolving suture wire and bone screws out of.

  13. Re:Ummm... on Ubuntuforums.org Hacked · · Score: 2

    I did, but they were all out of browser passwords. I did get two security questions for the price of one, which was nice.

  14. Re:lasting awesomeness? on Welcome To the 'Sharing Economy' · · Score: 2

    Instead of paying a set percentage of your wages as tax, you could be required to clock a certain amount of hours in your field of expertise for the community.

    Yeah. That's going to get roads built and maintained. This money thing may seem evil if you don't have a lot of it, but there is a reason that it has lasted for millennia. It's a damn good system compared to a barter economy, and paying taxes beats feudal serfdom any day of the week. But hey, some modern humans like living in the past to the point of taking nutrition tips from people that had an average lifespan of 30 miserable years so schemes like this will pop up and quickly fall apart for years to come.

  15. Re:It's not about the money on Microsoft Stock Drops 11% In a Day · · Score: 2

    Windows CE was fairly popular...

  16. Re:Not too bad to watch on Tar Pitch Drop Captured On Camera · · Score: 1

    Sure, when you compare it to cricket it's lightening fast. A game that can be played from start to finish in less than three days? Madness!

  17. Re:two hops this time on NSA Admits Searching "3 Hops" From Suspects · · Score: 1

    I think GP is talking about a big violin.

  18. Re:Waterworld! on Swedish Machine Turns Sweat Into Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    In Dune they waited until the guy was dead. Also wasn't there a similar thing in Stranger in a Strange Land? That one came out four years before Dune.

  19. Re: Waterworld! on Swedish Machine Turns Sweat Into Drinking Water · · Score: 2

    When I think urine recyc. I think Red Dwarf. Another second place for WW.

  20. Re:The US just has to control everything, eh? on The CIA Wants To Know How To Control the Climate · · Score: 2

    After earthquake control where do you go as an agency? Remote viewing? Mind control lasers? That's so 1970s. Let's face it, in this harsh world you're only as good as your latest doomsday weapon.

  21. Re:Everything in its right place on Radiohead's Thom Yorke Pulls Albums From Spotify In Protest of Low Royalties · · Score: 1

    According to every other news outlet it came to this two days ago and was reported back then as well, but better late than never I guess.

  22. Re:Undermining of Agriculture .... on America's First Eco-City: Doomed From the Start · · Score: 2

    More like a Spaniard in a kilt.

  23. Re:In otherwords on America's First Eco-City: Doomed From the Start · · Score: 1

    What time will Game of Bones be on?

  25. Re:Ad supported? on TV Programmers Seek the Elusive Dog Market · · Score: 1

    From skimming the site I think it's subsription based. Speaking as a human, I was entertained by the sample clips. Also note that the image is in color which suggests to me that this is geared at least partly toward the owners.
    Come to think of it, this may be an even bigger hit with students than the Teletubbies were back in the '90s. Perfect for a stoned afternoon on the couch.
