  1. He's on to us.
    Abort! Abort!

    (And turn up the pink mind control lasers.)

  2. Re: I'm short TSLA on Mobileye Says Tesla Was Dropped Because of Safety Concerns · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shorting a Tesla is generally a bad idea. 60-85kWH batteries tend to react vigorously to that sort of treatment.

  3. Paste in a different face and then pixelate.

    It's the perfect crime!

  4. Re:Ah yes, user-selected hugboxes. . . on Instagram Rolls Out 'Keyword Moderation Tool' That Will Filter Out Offensive Comments (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Wordfilters really do make a difference.

    When I say: "You're a fucking genius!" my comment will be flagged as bad.
    When I say: "Every night, your mother sells her services down by the docks" my good intentions are immediately clear.

  5. Re:Same Dutch gov tells something different in new on EU Finance Ministers Line Up Behind $21B Tax Ruling Against Apple (herald-dispatch.com) · · Score: 1

    The Netherlands have a similar case (concerning 25M€ to be paid by Starbucks) where they're trying to get out of caiming back taxes so this is wilful ignorance on his part.

  6. Re:At what point? on DNA Confirms Cause of 1665 London's Great Plague (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What's this obsession with old bones?

    The people are gone. Those who mourned them are gone. Burn the remains and let vegetation reclaim the minerals.

  7. Because launching rockets is more useful than helping to wipe out disease and paying for education programs? I mean it's more glamourous, but is it a better use of resources?

    (Oh man, I just defended Gates and Zuckerberg. I feel physically ill.)

  8. Re:Revealed to him... on These Are the Six Crypto-Currencies Approved By Apple (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll have you know that these proclamations were channeled directly from The Great Steve In The Sky using a 60" iPad prototype as a ouya board and Steve's own Newton as a planchette.

  9. Re:money laundering apps? on These Are the Six Crypto-Currencies Approved By Apple (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    People using the App Store to massively dodge taxes is still A-OK though. As long as the people involved are Tim Cook and friends.

  10. Re:Most likely explanation on NASA's Impossible Propulsion EmDrive Is Heading to Space (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Putting huge amounts of money into something that most probably will fail spectacularly is a job for excentric dreamers like venture capitalists or the US military.

  11. Typical Slashdot reaction on FDA Bans 19 Chemicals Used In Antibacterial Soaps (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Story: FDA approves X
    Reaction: Waaah the government puts dangerous chemicals in everything!

    Story: FDA bans Y
    Reaction: Waaah the government is meddling with our harmless chemicals!

  12. You'd think that AR would need even higher resolution to look good. The generated image is always being viewed side by side with reality.

  13. 640x480 should be enough for everybody.

  14. Re:Testing? on Facebook Is Testing Autoplaying Video With Sound (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Congratulations! You're one of the lucky lab rats.

  15. Re: Ignorant fools on Can Cow Backpacks Reduce Global Methane Emissions? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not switch to eating humans?
    That would both reduce methane emissions and stop overpopulation.

    It's a win win scenario.

  16. Re:What kind of pain will it work on? on Marijuana Provides More Pain Relief For Men Than Woman, Says Study (psypost.org) · · Score: 1
  17. Re: Yes on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time To Shrink the Ethernet Connector? · · Score: 1

    The insecurity in that two houses statement speaks volumes.
    You may have some money but you'll always be poor.

  18. Re:Lack of friends on Autism Associated With Shorter Lifespan, According To UK Charity Study · · Score: 1

    Being selfish makes you miserable. It makes you focus on all the ways in which the world is failing you.
    The people around you don't appreciate it either.

    Simply put: If you act like an asshole, you'll be treated like one.

  19. Re:Lack of friends on Autism Associated With Shorter Lifespan, According To UK Charity Study · · Score: 1

    Autistic people don't want to form relationships with most people, because most people aren't worth forming relationships with.

    Which is a statement that belies a pretty selfish attitude.

  20. Re:We shouldn't pollute space with hard radiation! on NASA's Journey To Mars May Use Nuclear Rockets (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as you clear the Van Allen belt first, otherwise it'll be more like a fart in an elevator.

  21. Re:Levison should be made whole on Gov't Accidentally Publishes Target of Lavabit Probe: It's Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Giving access to a single account would have been a direct betrayal of all his clients and of his personal code of ethics.
    It's encouraging to see that there are still businesspeople out there that place doing the right thing over making a profit.

  22. Re: including imprisonment? on L.A. Building's Lights Interfere With Cellular Network, FCC Says · · Score: 1

    If they even were tested. Untested grey imports are much cheaper than properly certified light fixtures. A contractor probably has been cutting corners.

  23. In his defense on Snowden Used Software Scraper, Say NSA Officials · · Score: 4, Funny

    In his defense mr. Snowden explained that his scraper was only gathering metadata and therefore by their own standards the NSA has nothing to worry about.

    When asked for comment NSA director James Clapper replied : "Whoa that's deep bro!"

  24. Re: Not in public's interest to help on Press Used To Print Millions of US Banknotes Seized In Quebec · · Score: 1

    It isn't the fault of bitcoin's implementation that there are many overconfident clueless geeks offering financial services. Bitch and moan all you want about ev!l banksters but they have a million times more experience of dealing with the perils of online transactions than a handful of basement libertarians ever will.

  25. Re:It's Like The Last Piece Of Technology That Wor on FCC Wants To Trial Shift From Analog Phone Networks To Digital · · Score: 1

    My POTS line went dead one day, and while waiting on hold for over thirty minutes on my cellphone trying to reach the phone company I signed up for VOIP from my ISP (ADSL over the same wire still worked fine). I would claim that I switched out of spite but it was really out of boredom waiting for tech support.
