  1. Am I missing something? on Dell's New X18: 5 Pounds, 18 Inches · · Score: 0

    Haven't we had similar crap for a while now? What does this do that makes it newsworthy?

  2. Re:Popcorn time! on Predicting IQ With a Simple Visual Test · · Score: 2

    I was able to see them all no problem, regardless of size. I guess that means I'm really smart? Or that the test was a crock of shit. Could be that.

  3. Compare to recognizing people on Popular Android Anti-Virus Software Fooled By Trivial Techniques · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Ma'am, is this your son?"

    "Well, my son was wearing a hat, so no."

  4. Why do we care about his political views? on The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired · · Score: 1

    "the anarchist and radical libertarian"

    I'm gonna have to stop you right there. The total number of fucks I give about anything Greenberg has to say is now exactly zero. I don't know who you're pandering to with such blatant manipulation, but I'm not sure the people who would fall for it are literate anyway.

  5. Why so expensive in the US? on Smartest Light Bulbs Ever, Dumbest Idea Ever? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We've had LED bulbs for a while in Taiwan, and I've never seen them go above about $30usd (and even that is on the high side). I'm constantly hearing about $50 and even $80 bulbs in the states. Do you all have special tariffs on LEDs there?

  6. Seems like they could end up with a lawsuit on their hands. What happens when a customer gets hit with a previously undiscovered WP exploit, after their host had already told them that they patched all the WP vulnerabilities?

  7. In the words of the great Bender... on Salesforce.com's Benioff Disses Windows 8, Oracle · · Score: 1

    Who are you and why should I care?

  8. Oh look, another opinion on Why Eric Schmidt Is Wrong About Microsoft Not Mattering Anymore · · Score: 1

    I've always said that "some guy said something" isn't news, but this article must have been made specifically to mock that idea. How far away from news is "some guy said some other guy was wrong when he said something"? Hey, if I write an article about how this blogger was wrong when he said that Schmidt was wrong when he said that Microsoft didn't matter, can I get on the front page too?

  9. Re:Nothing new for some of us on Can Microsoft Really Convince People To Subscribe To Software? · · Score: 1

    So, technet, which is provided by Microsoft itself, which in turn provides subscriptions to Microsoft products, isn't legal. Please explain how that works.

  10. Why the quotes? on Chip and Pin "Weakness" Exposed By Cambridge Researchers · · Score: 2

    I like how they highlight "weakness" in the headline, giving it the appearance of being of poor credibility. Can I try?

    BBC is a "news" provider.

  11. Slashdotted on Battlestar Galactica Community Game Diaspora Has Arrived · · Score: 2

    Good job, guys - it's down. Now if only we could actually set fire to their servers.

  12. Re:WoW still hasn't gone F2P? on Iranian Players Blocked From World of Warcraft Due To Trade Sanctions · · Score: 1

    Not that I know of. I suppose it's more of a free trial, since you still have to pay for game time in order to progress beyond 20.

  13. Re:WoW still hasn't gone F2P? on Iranian Players Blocked From World of Warcraft Due To Trade Sanctions · · Score: 1

    Sort of. F2P up to level 20. When max level is 85, that's pretty worthless.

  14. Re:Mods on Study Shows Marijuana Use In Teens Correlates To Decreasing IQ · · Score: 1

    So... you think it's better to be rich and stupid than smart and poor?

  15. Re:Link to original story? on Russia's Former KGB Invests In Political Propaganda Spambots · · Score: 1

    It cracks me up that you're the first person to even notice that.

  16. Ugly on Tata Intends To Sell Air-Powered Car In India · · Score: 1

    Why does every environmentally friendly car have to look like ass? Is there some reason they can't put a decent looking frame on it? This one is especially bad, reminding me of Steve Urkel's car (which, as you might remember, was intentionally ugly and cramped - that was the joke), but you also have a slew of hybrid cars that look like flamboyant space ships. If you want normal people to buy them, they have to look decent. It's gotten to the point that I actually think it might be a play by "big oil" to keep everyone using gas guzzlers until we've drained every drop of fossil fuel from the planet.

  17. "Strut their small-tablet stuff"? on Amazon, Apple Expected to Strut Their Small-Tablet Stuff Soon · · Score: 1

    Can we stop letting Ricki Lake write headlines? It's nauseating to see shit like this on slashdot.

  18. Lies on Logitech Releases Washable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    What the hell are they talking about? Every roll up keyboard I've ever seen is washable. Those little things are awesome, if a little quick to wear.

  19. Re:Bring me Google Fiber on 10 Internet Connections At Same Time · · Score: 1

    So everyone who doesn't live in the US lives on $10 a week? You, sir, are fucking retarded. On one hand, I'd like you to leave that shithole of a country you think is #1, but on the other hand, it's probably better for everyone else in the world if you don't.

  20. I just block flash on Ask Slashdot: To AdBlock Or Not To AdBlock? · · Score: 1

    Chrome (and I assume other browsers do this too) lets me block flash, and whitelist it for sites that I always want it to display on, like youtube. That gets rid of the most obnoxious ads. I can tolerate banner images just fine, though I don't seem to get targeted with flashing banners very often, like many people claim to.

  21. Seriously? on Who Cares If Samsung Copied Apple? · · Score: 1

    Whether you think these cases are a waste of time or not, "who cares" is an ill informed attitude. In fact, you're getting into intentional ignorance territory. "Who cares" isn't how the legal system works, or really, any system.

  22. This is never news on Genetically Engineering Babies a Moral Obligation, Says Ethicist · · Score: 3, Informative

    Can we stop pretending that "a guy said something" is news? Who cares if some shmuck has an opinion? It might as well be me saying the same thing, or the opposite, for all it matters.

  23. Ugly on New DRM-Free Label Announced · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That logo is hideous. Who's going to be putting that on their packaging?

  24. Vectors, at bare minimum on Ask Slashdot: How Many of You Actually Use Math? · · Score: 1

    I don't think I can even make a game without using vectors. I'm sure it's been done, but not by me.

    Look, people are always going to complain that math is hard and shouldn't be necessary. Suck it up and learn the fucking math. It's not poison; it won't kill you. Even if you don't ever use it, since when has learning math been a bad thing?

  25. Can't he sue? on Legitimate eBook Lending Community Closed After Copyright Complaints · · Score: 4, Funny

    Surely this falls under harassment, or something equally court-worthy. The American dream isn't to start your own business, it's to sue some rich asshole and get showered with money.
