  1. Re:Shut your whore mouth! on Ask Slashdot: Will Technology Disrupt the Song? · · Score: 1

    Whooooosh!

  2. Re:America on Pull-Top Can Tabs, At 50, Reach Historic Archaeological Status · · Score: 1

    Rule of thumb: If somebody is still alive to remember it, it's not archaeological, it's just obsolete.

  3. Is there a fixed length for he on Einstein and Schrodinger's Quest for a Unified Theory led to a Titanic Clash · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...because this headline seems to have been cut sh

  4. Re:Could be. on Does USB Type C Herald the End of Apple's Proprietary Connectors? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "[My english is better than most other people's german, so please point out mistakes politely. Thank you.]"

    With the greatest of respect, I would like to point out that the word "English" in your sig should be capitalised, as should the word "German", both being derived from proper nouns. Have a great day!

  5. Or, on a more positive note, it's a platform for group patronage.

  6. Re: Morale of the Story on How a Kickstarter Project Can Massively Exceed Its Funding Goals and Still Fail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Venture Capatalists expect to see a profit on their investment. On Kickstarter, you might get something slightly earlier at a reduced price. It's not an investment. It's more like group patronage.

  7. Cutoff line? on Attention, Rockstar Developers: Get a Talent Agent · · Score: 0

    I think I might only be a 9xer - Should I still get an agent? My office mates are definitely only an 8xer and a 6xer at best. Should they get agents? Or share an agent? Or become agents?

  8. I thought they dropped the plans... on Mars One Does Not Renew Contracts For Robotic Missions · · Score: 1

    I thought they dropped the plans for a remake of "Capricorn One" back in 2010. Looks like they're back on the table again.

  9. I heard... on Something Resembling 'The Wheel of Time' Aired Last Night On FXX · · Score: 5, Funny
    I heard it was just 30 minutes of a long-haired brunette tugging on her braided hair.

    Critics are calling it the most accurate book-to-TV adaptation yet.

  10. Re:Deflate-gate? on NFL Asks Columbia University For Help With Deflate-Gate · · Score: 2
    There was a scandal locally that the fans for opposing teams were being charged a higher rate when buying tickets at the entrance . It was referred to as gategate and was a big news item for a week..

    But then it transpired that there were no differences and the prices being charged and that the opposing fans had cooked up the whole thing to cause problems for the local team, so form the next week the papers were full of the gategategate.

    Then a whistleblower uncovered evidence to show that there was a difference in ticket prices, but the local media was in cahoots with the local team and had acted to cover up the scandal by writing false stories about oppsing fans lying about ticket prices. Thus was born gategategategate.

  11. I don't care on Doomsday Clock Could Move · · Score: 1

    I live in a DMT-1 time zone, so it's only just before 11 pm here.

  12. So how much.... on Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Will Be a Free Upgrade · · Score: 1

    ...will it cost me to upgrade from XP or Vista?

  13. Re:Counter Logic on Russia Says Drivers Must Not Have "Sex Disorders" To Get License · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually totalled my car when driving with a very pretty lady

    Did you panic when she started deflating?

  14. Re:Why Steam? Why? on To Fight Currency Mismatches, Steam Adding Region Locking to PC Games · · Score: 1

    If you can afford to sell a game developed in America to Russians at a high enough price to make a profit, then you can sell the same game at the same price outside Russia and make the same profit. Or will the games companies sell at a loss to Russia, essentially meaning that non-Russians have to subsidize Russian sales?

  15. That much oil... on Denmark Makes Claim To North Pole, Based On Undersea Geography · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...could easily lead to a doubling in size of Denmark's Lego stockpiles...

  16. Re:Dear Sony, I am delighted! on Sony Pictures Computer Sytems Shut Down After Ransomware Hack · · Score: 2

    Not bad bringing up something that happened in 2005 with the scandal having impact to 2007.

    I'd have thought that 10 years would have been quite long enough for Sony to have gotten around to saying sorry. I guess it must have slipped their minds...

  17. Personally on Attack of the One-Letter Programming Languages · · Score: 2

    Hah! Still stcuk using one letter lanaguages, hey?
    Personally, I use (unpronounceable squiggly symbol) - the price of programming languages. Pain in the arse to google though.

  18. I wonder how many pairs of jackboots they can buy for $67 million ?

  19. Re:Creato? on Battlestar Galactica Creator Glen A. Larson Dead At 77 · · Score: 1

    It's all down to the fact that timothy can't tell his R's from his elbow.

  20. Re:I'm skpetical on Scotland Builds Power Farms of the Future Under the Sea · · Score: 2

    Are you sure it wasn't "Scotch and water don't mix"?

    Donating is not the same as paying taxes...

  22. Re:What does Bennett Haselton have to say? on PCGamingWiki Looks Into Linux Gaming With 'Port Reports' · · Score: 0

    Bennett Haselton had another submission on Slashdot.

    You'll be blown away by what happened next!

  23. Model size on U.K. Supermarkets Beta Test Full-Body 3D Scanners For Selfie Figurines · · Score: 1

    Presumably the taller models costs more due to the extra material involved. Shouldn't the price also therefore be varied by waste size? A 6 inch figure of a super model will use a lot less plastic than a 6 inch figurine of my manly figure.

  24. Re:I don't get it... on Warner Brothers Announces 10 New DC Comics Movies · · Score: 1

    The people that go to them don't expect much and hence are rarely disappointed Tell that to the people who bought tickets for "Howard the Duck".
