  1. Re:Well, isn't this nice on Why Scott Adams Wished Death On His Dad · · Score: 1

    Everybody dies. Wishing that their end is painful does not mean wishing that they die soon.
    He is clearly angry and wishes the pain inflicted on his father on the ones inflicting it. This is natural.

    Let's hope for his sake that in time when the grief and anger subside so will this wish.

  2. Re:Democracy? on FDA Tells Google-Backed 23andMe To Halt DNA Test Service · · Score: 1

    They are a lot like libertarians in that respect.

  3. Re:Vampire? Huh?! on Tesla Model S Has Bizarre 'Vampire-Like' Thirst For Electricity At Night · · Score: 1

    The cheap ones are AC only and are no fun at all. The good ones have a Hall effect sensor and can detect DC current as well as AC.

  4. Re:My theory on Kdenlive Developer Jean-Baptiste Mardelle Is Missing · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah. They sent Jodie Foster to interrogate him in his cell.

  5. Re:Google does the same thing? on Twitter Implements Forward Secrecy For Connections · · Score: 1

    What's the value in having perfect forward security on the connection when they mine and share your data anyway?

  6. Re:2 Words on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    Is that near Finland?

  7. Re:Not the same... on The US Now Faces the Same Dilemma Over Drones As It Did Over Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that in the Afterlife drones are transformed into dildos to be shared among 72 virgins?
    You just blew my mind.

  8. Re:Good thing I didn't invest. on Cyprus University Accepts Bitcoin For Tuition Fee Payments · · Score: 2

    $200 is less than most electronic gadgets and those will certainly depreciate to $10 in a few years. It may not be the most prudent investment but if you have the cash lying around it's a fun bet with far better odds than the lottery.

  9. Re:Did not happen in the US on BP Hired Company To Troll Users Who Left Critical Comments · · Score: 1

    Amazing how the pollution didn't wash ashore but stayed exactly 12 miles away from the coast.

  10. Re:GOOD FOR THEM!! on BP Hired Company To Troll Users Who Left Critical Comments · · Score: 1

    If you're too much of a pussy to give your real name, then your opinion carries no weight.

  11. Re:Does the glasses pose any danger to the eyes ? on New Smart Glasses Allow Nurses To See Veins Through Skin · · Score: 3, Informative

    So does visible light of similar intensity.
    There is very little difference between near infrared and the visible spectrum. Just because our rods and cones don't react to the different wavelength doesn't make it any more dangerous. The exception to this rule are powerful near IR lasers that appear to the eye as faint red light sources and don't trigger pupil contraction and aversion reflexes.

  12. It also explains in evolutionary terms on Mystery Humans Spiced Up Ancients' Sex Lives · · Score: 3, Funny

    Man's insatiable appetite for midget porn. Or is that just me?
     

  13. Re:Capital Crime on Glut In Stolen Identities Forces Price Cut · · Score: 1

    Cue the YES BUT THE EVIL GUBMINT crowd.
    Sometimes identity cards are a good thing. If the mailman brings me a valuable package he'd better check my identity and not leave it on the stairs or give it to the first fool who manages to scrawl something illegible on a rain soaked piece of paper or touchscreen.

  14. Re:I Used a Popular Online Tax Service... on Ask Slashdot: Can You Trust Online Tax Software? · · Score: 1

    No. You really need old guys with white hair who sip Martinis and unknowingly quote from Mad Men to do your taxes. If only for the entertainment value.

  15. Re:Directed energy weapons on Many UAVs Vulnerable To Directed-Energy Weapons · · Score: 1

    With the exception of bombs that scatter shrapnel in all directions, aren't most weapons directed energy weapons?
    I'll stop being pedantic before someones fist directs kinetic energy my way.

  16. Re:Most Obvious Conspiracy Ever. on US Government Embraces Bitcoin in Hearing on Virtual Currency · · Score: 2

    Oh yes! This is a huge conspiracy based on top secret information found in the press.
    Don't you know that "the Illuminati" refers to that elite cabal of people who possess a secret technique called "the Reading of the Newspapers"?

  17. Re:Remind me why this is needed? on Sen. Chuck Schumer Seeks To Extend Ban On 'Undetectable' 3D-Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    So I'm still allowed to shoot myself?
    Good to know.

  18. If it looks like an ad and reads like an ad... on Anki Is Not a Toy Company; Has iRobot, Others In Its Sights · · Score: 4, Informative

    Combined company profile and product review - check
    An entire article filled with uncritical praise - check
    Grandiose visions reported breathlessly - check

    I've clicked the "disable advertising" thingy but the story is still on the front page.

  19. Re:Not even then on US Gov't Circulates Watch List of Buyers of Polygraph Training Materials · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Let's see if we can catch a dead salmon in a lie!

    Now you've put all the readers of my tea leaves self-defense newsletter on a watchlist. Thanks!

  21. Re:If they're based in Ireland, why are they in It on Italy Investigates Apple For Alleged Tax Fraud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Technically it's tax avoidance, which is immoral but not illegal.

  22. Re:And why ... on US Intelligence Wants To Radically Advance Facial Recognition Software · · Score: 1

    The software is named after the god Janus who was two faced. Both literally and figuratively.
    Nomen est omen.

  23. Re:How is this possible? on NASA's Mars Orbiter Reaches Data Milestone · · Score: 1

    No one there? That's what they want you to think. Statistically with that volume of data being sent back there has to be petabytes of infringing content being sent TO Mars. It's a colony of space pirates. The content industry should ready their lawyers.
