  1. Re:RadioShack's business model on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll have you know, sir, that my brother-in-law is a COLLEGE dropout selling cell phones at radioshack!

  2. Download firmware in advance! on PlayStation 4 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is a mandatory day-one firmware update, which is just north of 300 MB. If you have an internet connection and a USB drive (aka, if you are reading this) go to PSN to pre-download.

  3. Re:Government Involvement on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    The Constitution does doesn't say that everybody gets medical care.

    However, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act says (massively simplifying here) that all hospitals must treat all seriously sick patients.

    The Constitution is not the end all and be all of American Federal law.

  4. Upshot? on Researchers Show Apple Can Read iMessages · · Score: 3, Informative

    "The upshot of this is that Apple has the ability to read users' messages if it so chooses."

    I do not think upshot means what you think it means.

  5. Re:Mine's outstanding, but... on Ask Slashdot: IT Contractors, How's Your Health Insurance? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If he is in MA, he can buy healthcare from the state exchange for a lot less than $1300/month.

  6. Obligatory Starcraft joke on South Korea To Restart Its Oldest Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just construct additional pylons?

  7. I hope it doesn't go supernova in our lifetime on Betelgeuse To Blow Up Soon — Or Not · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Then we won't get to see it for over 600 years.

  8. Re:How come toasters are so cheap? on A DIMM Future for RAM Bundles · · Score: 1

    >> There's no uptight timing or voltage requirements for a toaster.

    Stop using coal fired toasters. They're bad for the environment.

  9. It should be animated on Next Batman to be Directed By Pi's Darren Aronofsky · · Score: 1
    I don't think they could get an actor to portray Year One Batman. Animation is advancing quite well as an art form, and I think that's where Batman belongs.

    Too bad Dark Knight Returns won't ever be made as a movie, real or animated.

  10. Graphics will stay the same on Everquest Server Emulator In Beta · · Score: 1

    They're trying to emulate Everquest, not improve upon it. It will look the same, but you will be able to do fun stuff like park 5 dragons outside the gates of Qeynos.

    You'd have to Ask Milo how to improve upon the graphics.
