    venture out of the basement and go ask their moms

    Mom's got the XtremeCam strapped on; I will upload the vid to youtube later.

  2. Re:No wired... on Hands-On With Intel's "Next Unit of Computing" Mini PC · · Score: 1

    Somewhere, in a distant law office, a legal team collectively stands up and performs stretching and other warm-up exercises. And to top it all off, they crack their knuckles for yet another big showdown.

  3. Re:Fitting my LTO2 tape drive into that thing... on Hands-On With Intel's "Next Unit of Computing" Mini PC · · Score: 1

    But to make it worth the effort, make sure it sports the steampunk look. Final size of it be damned.

  4. Re:Am I the only one? on Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield Actually Works · · Score: 1

    Well I was thinking that, the guys who worked on this would have a pretty impressive thing to put on their resume.

    The downside is, their version might actually force a ricochet back to their homeland.

    Well, we GNU that, but thanks for pointing it out...

  7. What is it Obi Wan? on Crooks Steal $1.5M In iPads From JFK · · Score: 5, Funny

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of hipster voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

  8. There were these 2 guys in a holding cell on John McAfee Accused of Murder, Wanted By Belize Police · · Score: 1

    McAfee, this is Reiser. Reiser, McAfee.

  9. Re:Who does this asshole think he is? on Cisco VP To Memo Leaker: Finding You Now 'My Hobby' · · Score: 1

    Maybe he gets off on stupid little power trips. Maybe his wife treats him like shit and the only way he can get back is to take it out on the people he works with. Maybe he's just a fucking loser.

    Maybe, just maybe, that's his cover. That he appears incapable of action...was the last thought of the suspect as the so-called 'corporate jackass' rappelled down from the roof and smashed through the window.

  10. Re:Is time for a big FreeBsd celebration on FreeBSD Throws the Clang/LLVM Switch: Future Releases Use LLVM · · Score: 1

    Actually, 9 of them did. One of them had to be the designated driver. He had a car, you know.

  11. Re:Awesome on Boeing 787 Makes US Debut · · Score: 1

    Hmm Looks like the Prince of Nigeria finally got around to his objective, by way of Ethiopia...

  12. Re:Brick on Building the Ultimate Safe House · · Score: 2

    The American fetish with expensive stick houses is really amazing.

    Indeed, and when I drive around in hurricane-prone Florida, I swear their most protective coating for hurricanes is that thin layer they call insurance.

  13. Re:Exactly. 78k is luxury territory on Tesla Model S Named 'Car of the Year' · · Score: 1

    You left out 4. Profit!!!

    *sigh* must I remind you next time?

  14. Re:What is this fucking summary about? on Google Nexus 4 Prototype Lost In a Bar · · Score: 2

    But shouldn't we be worried about an under seige SFPD station? It's like that joke about the detergent being able to get the blood off the shirt...

    If you don't spec 'em right. Idiot.

    FTFY.

    Sorry! I *was* trying to stay on topic!

  16. What about the popcorn in the lounge kitchen? on Boeing's CHAMP Missile Uses Radio Waves To Remotely Disable PCs · · Score: 1

    I believe this would qualify as 'collateral damage', if they ended up burned instead of warmed and ready.

  17. It's RetiNOT on Apple To Stream a Product Launch Live For the First Time · · Score: 1

    Not a retina display *sigh* Dealbreaker!

  18. Re:I don't get it on At $250, New Chromebook Means Competition For Tablets, Netbooks, Ultrabooks · · Score: 1

    Look there is a reason the first three letters of GOOgle and GOOd are the same. And it doesn't take a genius to see that the first two letters of MIcrosoft are the same as MIstake.

    Gimme all you got, astroturfers!

  19. Re:We need better solutions on Smartphone Mugging More Popular Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Oh, for the GP:

    Don't forget to have your other kids glare at the 12 year old for being on Windows, and once in a while toss the occasional Caught a virus yet? or It's not really a Blue Screen of Death; more like azure so that the 12 yo can live with the taunts and jibes of linux users, including his own father.

    For the parent:

    there. Feel better now?

  21. Re:MS is not even in the game... yet on Is Microsoft's Price Model For the Surface Justifiable? · · Score: 1

    Let him brag. 16 years, huh. This has got to be the Yo' mama so old,-style joke, Slashdot-style. Let it slide; apparently he's too old to remember exactly when.

  22. Re:Meh on Commercial Amphibious Vehicle Is Part ATV Part Jet Ski · · Score: 1

    I'd want to use both hands to drive that thing; but I can't if I have to hold the iphone5 above the water...

  24. Back to your immediate goal on Ask Slashdot: Best Approach To Reenergize an Old Programmer? · · Score: 1

    I always check out craigslist.org (zoom to your area) and look under gigs-computer. There's a lot that's posted; see if any are suited to your skill set. Some of them are in need of quick fixes, so timing and luck could be tricky. You could earn some in the meantime. Just sayin
