  1. Re:Cloud on App — the Most Abused Word In Tech? · · Score: 2

    The problem with 'the cloud' is that no two experts can agree on what 'the cloud' is.

    Cloud = computers systems and applications (or "apps", if you will) accessible and executed from the Internet. No? I never knew there was a question about what the Cloud is.

  2. Re:Cloud on App — the Most Abused Word In Tech? · · Score: 1

    I agree...that's one word that get used a lot that people don't really know anything about. It used to be "virtual" and more recently, "nano".

    Bah...thank you.

  4. Destroyed in a burrning shed... on 19-Year-Old Makes Homemade Solar Death Ray · · Score: 1

    I guess someone should have told him to point the death ray AWAY from the window.

  5. I don't see either one on Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    Both games seem to have been taken down from the App Store.

  6. Re:Unfortunately. on Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    If we had a good layer I'd never get any work done.

  7. Cool, but... on Low Budget Air Space Photography · · Score: 1

    It could have been way cooler if they used multiple cameras, or at least one more pointing down toward Earth. And how feasible would it have been to add some sort of shared storage device so they wouldn't run out of space and could record the entire flight?

  8. Re:Server? on Low Budget Air Space Photography · · Score: 1

    They could run it off a MacBook Air...

  9. Re:Well.. on Egypt Coming Back On the 'net · · Score: 1

    Not anymore...they hired these guys

  10. Didn't used to be? on Egypt Coming Back On the 'net · · Score: 1

    Am I off here, or should that have been: "Some sites that were previously unavailable..."?

    Grammar Nazis, help me out here....

  11. Re:It would be funny on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: 1

    It's Facebook, Twitter and boobies...right?

  12. Whoa, whoa, whoa... on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: 1

    You mean...I don't NEED a phone line to access the internet!? I called AOL and they assure me that I do. I think these TV guys don't know what they are talking about.

  13. Re:Always forget how much needle anxiety there is on SnowWorld VR Game Reduces Pain For Burn Patients · · Score: 1

    Same here. Totally off topic, but the other day I have to have some blood work done for my yearly military work-up and the *very* green phlebotomist went through the whole procedure and after about two minutes and one vial starting complaining about how slow my blood flows. I wasn't going to because it was amusing and I was having fun, but I went ahead and pointed out that she never removed the tourniquet. Amazing how much faster it came out after that...and how red she got from the embarrassment. I bet she doesn't do that again.

  14. Re:should not affect slashdot crowd on PlentyofFish Hacked, Founder Emails Hacker's Mom · · Score: 2

    Heh...tell us how you really feel.

  15. Journalism on Facebook-Deprived Man Sues For $500K · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm confused about how this site is supposed to work, but it seems like in the past the articles were more from the author's point of view instead of just regurgitation and links back to other journalists who actually did the research. What am I missing?

  16. Won't be long... on Researchers Track Mouse Movements and Hesitations · · Score: 1

    ...before they start building heartbeat and moisture sensors into the mouse so they can gauge emotional responses to what's on the screen. Then they can really target specific demographics. Or at least sell the information so others can. (The AC post before was mine...I wasn't logged in)

  17. Bullies! on SourceForge Down After Attack [Updated] · · Score: 0

    This is the ultimate in bullying someone that doesn't deserve it. Kinda like the poor fat kid in middle school that got beat up by the entire football team because they didn't like the way I smelled.

  18. Sprint stock plummets in... on Clear Has Nationwide Outage · · Score: 2

    ...3, 2, 1

  19. Re:Step aside, amateur on Hackers Bringing Telnet Back · · Score: 1

    Some of us have to work. I don't have time for much more than a simple find and replace. No one's gonna mod either one of us up anyways, cause then they'd have to admit they know the song.

  20. Re:Who's bringing Telnet back? on Hackers Bringing Telnet Back · · Score: 1

    I'm bringing telnet back

    Them other boys don't know how to act

    I think it's special what's behind your back

    So turn around and i'll pick up the slack.

    Take em' to the bridge

    [Bridge]

    Dirty babe

    You see these shackles

    Baby I'm your slave

    I'll let you whip me if I misbehave

    It's just that no one makes me feel this way

    Take em' to the chorus

    [Chorus]

    Come here girl

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Come to the back

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    VIP

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Drinks on me

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Let me see what you're working with

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Look at those hips

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    You make me smile

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Go ahead child

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    And get your telnet on

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Get your telnet on

    Go ahead, be gone with it

    [X6]

    Get your telnet on

    [Verse 2]

    I'm bringing telnet back

    Them other boys don't know how to act

    Come let me make up for the things you lack

    Cause your burning up I gotta get it fast

    Take em' to the bridge

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]

    I'm bringing telnet back

    Them other boys watch while I attack

    If that's your girl you better watch your back

    Cause she'll burn it up for me and that's a fact

    Take em' to the chorus

  21. Re:Teens will hate this on Facebook Launches Social Login and HTTPS · · Score: 1

    She would laugh at the 69 in your name, too...even the teachers know to belt a preemptive "har har" before asking them to turn to page 69.

  22. Teens will hate this on Facebook Launches Social Login and HTTPS · · Score: 1

    My 15 year old daughter, and probably all other other teens/tweens out there, likes to "collect" friends, whether she really knows them or not. having tons of contacts on FB affords her bragging rights in her circle of real friends. So, if she has to name some of them before being allowed to access her home page, then I guess I can remove the time restriction to that domain from my firewall, cause she'll never get in again.

  23. Re:A nice change on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    No, I don't use IE. But I just tried and it works fine. One thing I noticed is that the slide-bar to change what comments show up works in IE but not FF. That's the only issue I've seen so far, though.

  24. Re:Burning WAAAY too much CPU on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    What does it matter? Are you running a VM server in the background or something? Most people's computer are sitting there idle anyways.

  25. A nice change on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think it's a nice, clean look. Most people are complaining because it's different than what they are used to. OTOH, I don't use all the extra's that some people here like to use like zooming fonts and what-not. I read everything at a resolution my old eyes can handle.

    All in all, good change.
