  1. Article a signal to one of our intelligence agents on Stolen Maple Syrup Found and Returned To Strategic Reserve · · Score: 1

    He was informed that if an article appears in Slashdot that doesn't quite fit in the News For Nerds category, that the operation has been green lighted. He is to move at once, while the world is distracted by hot gossip about the Kardashians (local operatives in the mainland as well).

    Nothing to see here, fellow /. readers; move along now.

  2. And in related news... on The Sci-fi Films To Look Forward To In 2013 · · Score: 1

    Arnold (The Guvernator) Schwarzenegger will release Total Recall: My Unbelievable Life Story in October...

    I am not making this up.

  3. What tipped the guard off on 82-Year-Old Nun Breaks Into Nuclear Facility, Contractors Blamed · · Score: 1

    ...was that the nun was 8 months pregnant under that habit.

  4. Re:Defensive play on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    ...and all before the write-up on Wired hits the shelves.

  5. Re:the message is clear: on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 2

    and announce after your beta is complete
     
    ...with a BANG.

    'Good news, everyone!'

  6. Plenty of good advice here, but don't forget on Ask Slashdot: Best Incentives For IT Workers? · · Score: 1

    There is plenty of good advice here, and well worth using. Whatever you decide to do, don't EVER ask for the TPS reports.

  7. Re:Well, it doesn't work... on Free Font Helps People With Dyslexia · · Score: 1

    That can only mean one thing: You're CURED!

  8. Re:I'm seeing a lot of Gentoo-Ubuntu on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    I noticed that as well, but Ubuntu seems to be the diametric opposite of Gentoo, when other mainstream distros could have fit the bill. These are hardly n00bies. Was it more like a show of support?

  9. Missing option on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    Where is the Cowboy Neal option?

  10. Our story begins thus... on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    The cleaning lady was a geek. And he came weekly to the congressman's house, ostensibly to spruce up the place. But he never missed his online courses, the ones he could not get without an expensive fibre connection. The next topic was how to install Linux on a computer...

  11. Re:Darwinian Self Sacrifice! on Texas Opens Fastest US Highway With 85 MPH Limit · · Score: 1

    Sort of.

    And they strategically timed it for election year!

  12. Re:Better link on Radioactive Tool Goes Missing In Texas · · Score: 1

    WTF worthy? Not according to his co-workers who he visited recently. They simply thought he looked old; others thought he just put on weight.

  13. Re:Pricey cars! on BMW Cars Vulnerable To Blank Key Attack · · Score: 1

    That better come with the 2 booth babes from the car show. As upgradable parts, too.

  14. Tardigrade? Oh you and your metric system! on How Does the Tiny Waterbear Survive In Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    What's the equivalent in ye olde inches?

  15. Re:What were they expecting? on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 1

    Nonsense...it's all just growing on the wrong end of his face

  16. Re:My opinion of e-books are reinforced on No Opt-Out For Ads On New Kindle Fires · · Score: 1

    You run the risk of them coming to you in person. Excuse me, but would you be interested in blah-blah-blah? They will come knocking on your door, swinging under your garage door before it shuts completely, heck even while you're singing in the shower. Then be careful of the little guys that follow them, that speak a lot in a drone, these are the fine print mouthpieces that speak legalese. Are you sure you want to *opt out*?

  17. Re:It's an internship. on Chinese Students Say They Are Being Forced To Build Your Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    It was a slip, almost all of us refers to him and other students from China.

  18. Re:My take? on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Take On Stand-Up Desks? · · Score: 1

    Then I can work and read Slashdot at the same time.

    I'll say it again: watching pr0n is *not* work!!

  19. Re:So is apple... on Anonymous Leaks 1M Apple Device UDIDs · · Score: 1

    You know, there just *might* be an app for that.

  20. Re:Good luck Dawn on NASA Craft To Leave Vesta Heads For Dwarf Planet Ceres · · Score: 1

    But if we do nail both Ceres and Mars somehow, then we can have the Vesta both worlds. How about it, science?

  21. Re:Why do FOSS library folks hate ABI compatabilit on The True Challenges of Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    Gnome should have frozen at 2.0, before it decided to change in mid-stride and alienate its fanbase. Should have called the 3.0 something else, but still kept 2.0 alive and not totally forget its past. Now, you want a mobile-phone like UI? Don't insist that it's still Gnome, then you'd be making the Microsoft faux pas of having a start button on everything but the Zune.

  22. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong on The ThinkPad Goes Ultrabook — ThinkPad X1 Carbon Tested · · Score: 1

    Thank you, and my X41 laptop convertible still had the IBM logo, NOT Thinkpad, on the lid.

  23. Correct me if I'm wrong on The ThinkPad Goes Ultrabook — ThinkPad X1 Carbon Tested · · Score: 0

    But is this the first time a Thinkpad keyboard featured the Windows logo? Wonder how much *that* product placement must have cost...

  24. Re:Wow. OH WOW! on Google Seeks US Ban On iPhones, iPads, Macs · · Score: 1

    The financial sector collapse causes economic ruin across the nation. There is no employment, imports eventually trail off, and people starve to death. Entire communities disappear, and their infrastructure crumbles. The country is destroyed.

    Somebody PLEASE think of the zombies!

  25. Re:Fact checking. on MS-DOS Not Stolen, New Forensic Analysis Concludes · · Score: 1

    But the bike leathers did make his butt look big...
