  1. Hackers Stole Information From IKEA Servers? on Hackers Stole Information From IAEA Servers · · Score: 1

    Maybe JYSK was behind the attacks!
    No! I want to live in my happy pocket universe. :(

  2. Re:Go for an old console instead on Ask Slashdot: Best Console For the Kids This Holiday? · · Score: 1

    Or one of these (or something similar) Chinese knock-offs.... Game Box

  3. Re:Apartheid on Saudi Arabia Implements Electronic Tracking System For Women · · Score: 1

  4. Ohhh, you want to buy a company? on Meg Whitman Says HP Was Defrauded By Autonomy; HP Stock Plunges · · Score: 2

    Ummm I have a company it makes aaahhh $100 billion a year selling errr ping-pong balls online. Yeah. That's the ticket!
    I'm willing to sell for only $10 million.

    Yours Truly,
    Tommy Flanagan

  5. Re:Not sure I understand on Sharp Overwhelmed By Volunteers For Early Retirement · · Score: 1

    If Sharp suffers from a Dead Sea Effect wouldn't that give them a way out without losing face and thus the mass egress? So why not clear the slate and start fresh then?

  6. Theoritical fix for theoritical problem on The Downside of Warp Drives: Annihilating Whole Star Systems When You Arrive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If we have enough tech to make a warp drive we can probably disperse energy on route as opposed to all of it at the end of the trip.

  7. Cholesterol levels are adequately high on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    Thank you, but I top off with a pulled pork sandwich or plate of deep-fried pepperoni when needed.

  8. Re:power on CyanogenMod Domain Hijacked · · Score: 1

    First you get the domain, then you get the money, then you get the weemon.

  9. They lost me in Cataclysm on Review: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (video) · · Score: 1

    I had a guild and we did raids. We weren't the best but we tried and sometimes got lucky and succeeded purely through determination. But Cataclysm changed that. People with years of experience and WotLK elite gear were like babies in a minefield. Cataclysm was no longer for casual gamers, it was for elitists only. The twitchers and the number counters. I did ok, but it alienated a lot of people. People I liked to play with. So what's the point of doing dailies alone all the time? I want to go with my guildies into group events but if the group events are frustrating suicide missions what's the point? Are they going to change that? Is MoP going back to a more easy on the old people approach or it is it moving further into the either your awesome or your a useless noob. If the latter, then it seems like the number of noobs is growing and the problem is they give Blizzard the same amount of money as those few and far between uber-elites. Just that noobs don't like to hang around for the abuse and frustration and quit after awhile.

  10. "may have an abysmal EROI" on Tapping Shale Reserves, US Would Become World's Top Oil Producer By 2017 · · Score: 2

    Why can't they just use solar powered drills?

  11. Re:Good for him on All of Nate Silver's State-Level Polling Predictions Proved True · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Too bad the electoral system in the USA is a joke and doesn't represent the vote of the people.

    So you wanted Al Gore to be president in 2000?

  12. How is that a strategy? on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 2

    Your a member of the GOP and your trying to win your local election but then you have the GOP sabotaging all your efforts.
    Why would you join that party? I've dropped out just because the tank was too lightly geared. But at least he wasn't pushing aggro on the healer.

  13. Re:Everybody's favourite? on Neil deGrasse Tyson Pinpoints Superman's Home Star System · · Score: 1

    Amy Mainzer could ignite the fusion in my gas cloud anytime... uuuh god that was awful. Sorry.

  14. Re:Will this lead to other new technology? on Neuromorphic Algorithms Allow MAVs To Avoid Obstacles With Single Camera · · Score: 1

    Wernstrom...! I'll make you eat those words when you see my $50 billion dollar super-sonic ramjet-powered flyswatter!

  15. Will this lead to other new technology? on Neuromorphic Algorithms Allow MAVs To Avoid Obstacles With Single Camera · · Score: 1

    Cause they will need to engineer anti-drone drones now that everyone can afford drones.

  16. Stupid, here's why... on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 1

    To do GPS tracking requires a device that's ungainly and highly noticeable. Like the one he invented in day-glow colors.
    Sub-dermal RFID chips (like the one in my cat) on the other hand only work at very close range.
    Either way, it won't protect from abductions, which I assume is the holy grail of these capitalist ventures (aka snake oil).

  17. This will foil my efforts on Explosive Detecting Devices Face Off With Bomb Dogs · · Score: 2

    I was on the verge of creating a bomb that could detect faint traces of dog.

  18. Re:CRC Errors on Ask Slashdot: How Do SSDs Die? · · Score: 1

    I've had a similar experience with a Samsung 120GB PM830.
    I didn't even know it was a SSD, until someone told me, the failure mimicked what I would expect from a regular old spinney platter type disk.
    The occassional black screen of death with Windows shut down due to blah blah blah and Can't boot, non-system boot disk! (worked on cold reboot but not warm).
    Those kind of errors.

  19. Maybe the reporter owns stock on For Obama, Jobs, and Zuckerberg, Boring Is Productive · · Score: 1

    In a school uniform company.

  20. Vote for ME - Michael Grimm! on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Do you want a politician who merely thinks... or REACTS? Like a cat in an anvil factory!

  21. Re:Bioware is... on BioWare Founders Announce Retirement · · Score: 1

    YA! Mariokart! WHOOO!

  22. Re:obvious question on W3C Releases First Working Draft of Web Crypto API · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, The Cryptocat Vision statement explains it a lot better.
    Basically it's for when your so paranoid that you fear even your cloud service app provider.
    For example, you go and use Cloud Doc Editor and write some docs and save them locally...
    But what about the remote server? What's it doing with that data? Is it making copies?
    Could it know you write erotic fan-fic about Captain Picard having sex with Rainbow Dash?

  23. So, Why? on W3C Releases First Working Draft of Web Crypto API · · Score: 1

    Eventually at some point I would hope there's a backend server the app is talking to.
    Why can't the server do it? Thin Client Fat Client... Why are you making my client fat Sir?

  24. Re:use the Naquadria drive on Warp Drive Might Be Less Impossible Than Previously Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    With Spice I can go all over the universe every weekend. All I need is a paper tube and a razor blade.

  25. Canada loves Kanye West? on A Glimpse At Piracy In the UK and Beyond · · Score: 1
