  1. Re:Analog is actually digital on New Crop of LED Filament Bulbs Look Almost Exactly Like Incandescents · · Score: 1

    Planck scale?

  2. I still use whale oil on New Crop of LED Filament Bulbs Look Almost Exactly Like Incandescents · · Score: 4, Funny

    Forget those new fangled light bulbs, I still burn whale oil to light my house. A little pricey to import from Japan, but well worth the effort in the end.

  3. Far less of a jerk than Ironman on Tony Stark Delivers Real 3D-Printed Bionic Arm To 7-Year Old Iron Man Fan · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Robert Downey Jr. is far less of a jerk than he plays on screen. Way to go, to make this kid's dream come true.

  4. Making fake Game of Thrones episodes? on UK Gov't Asks: Is 10 Years In Jail the Answer To Online Pirates? · · Score: 2

    Counterfeiters make and sell fake products. Is someone going around selling fake episodes of Game of Thrones? Copying something and sharing it for free is not the same as selling something and passing it off as the real thing.

  5. Volunteer for Mars One on Ask Slashdot: Should I Let My Kids Become American Citizens? · · Score: 2

    No taxes ever again!

  6. Not all sunken ships are warships sunk in battle. This is a well traveled waterway, and shipping safety was not always the highest priority.

    A man using Apple Maps walked into a bar, or a hotel, or possibly a church...

    Just use Yahoo! or anything else. or stop complaining.

  11. Constellations on NASA's Spitzer Team Releases Highest-resolution View of the Full Galactic Plane · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It would help if they would identify which constellation you are viewing as you pan the image. Then you could put it into a better frame of reference as we see it in the sky.

  12. Re:Its a warning shot... on 20-Year-Old Military Weather Satellite Explodes In Orbit · · Score: 1

    That's no dwarf planet, it's a space station.

    it obstructs my view of Venus.

  14. Video over LAN on VLC Gets First Major Cross-Platform Release · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I hope they improved the original purpose, to play video over a LAN. Gave up on it after a while, too many bugs to track down.

  17. Forget stealing organs on Surgeon: First Human Head Transplant May Be Just Two Years Away · · Score: 1

    Steel the entire body. Instead of waking up in a bathtub full of ice with your kidney gone, wake up (or not) with you body gone! Maybe that is what ISIS is actually doing, hmmm...

  18. Parallel Port Zip Drive on Ask Slashdot: Old PC File Transfer Problem · · Score: 0

    Check out ebay for an old Parallel port Zip Drive. That should move the whole thing is short notice.

  19. Remove Drive and hook to USB on Ask Slashdot: Old PC File Transfer Problem · · Score: 2

    If the new computer has a USB port, they make devices that connect to many different old drive connectors and turn the drive into an external USB drive.

  20. Default password on Flaw In Netgear Wi-Fi Routers Exposes Admin Password, WLAN Details · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am always amazed at the number of times I have logged into wifi access points with the default admin password. I have actually logged in and fixed businesses configuration errors. If we can't even get people to change the password, all the rest of the security is useless.

  21. Re:Landing near populated areas? on SpaceX Signs Lease Agreement With Air Force For Landing Pad · · Score: 2

    Less dangerous than LAUNCHING near populated areas.
