  1. Expensive phone for him to afford on Samsung Tried to Bribe Chinese Man To Keep Exploding Phone Video Private (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    How much does a 23 year old former firefighter make in china? The 'former' would imply that he doesn't have a job. How can he afford this cutting edge phone and also a $900 personal integrity fee?

  2. Slashdotted... on Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head · · Score: 1

    ... or maybe the shark just fired on a couple underwater fibers

  3. Re:Normally, I oppose botnets and other malware st on Koobface Malware Traced To 5 Russians · · Score: 1

    Start Browsing more 4chan and pron and less tech websites until their adsense realises that you are a tipical basement dweller...

  4. Re:Nature... will find a way! on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Then we could GM the bats to be able to see.

  5. Re:Nature... will find a way! on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    In this case we would need to genetically modify the bats so they would be able to see.

  6. Re:I've never wished so hard before... on Universal Music Demands Insurer Pay For Infringement Damages · · Score: 1

    So is Soylent green.

    Did you people just escape from the progress quest forums?

  7. Re:Shudder? on Discovery Brings Us One Step Closer To "Milking" Pigeons · · Score: 1

    Your relative, my friend, must be the biggest winner in the redneck gameses history!

  8. Re:Obligatory movie reference for milking on Discovery Brings Us One Step Closer To "Milking" Pigeons · · Score: 1

    Simpsons, where they milk rats to sell to the school

  9. Home Server on Ask Slashdot: Best Connect Scheme For a 2-ISP Household? · · Score: 1

    You can set up an old computer as a home server doing the balancing of the two connections, and you can even add some more functions to it (file server, vpn, etc).

    A good distro for it is Zentyal, which is based on ubuntu and will let you config the whole thing over a web browser, just like one of those d-link routers.

  10. My grandfather on US Intelligence Agency to Compile Mountain of Metaphors · · Score: 1

    They should contact my grandfather, for he is himself the repository.

  11. Re:how much? on Google Fiber Comes To Kansas City · · Score: 2

    I don't think that they would cap the connections, because as far as I have understood, the reason they are doing this is to analyze how people's internet habit will change in the future when gigabit internet is available on most homes. This way they can try to develop new products that will take advantage of this new habits.

  12. Re:Would the need for privacy fade? on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 1

    Would it even still be enforceable when everybody does it?

    I guess file sharing is still illegal nowadays. Does that answer your question?

  13. Re:Russia? on Anonymous Leaks Internal Bank of America Emails · · Score: 1

    How would they poison someone with gold? It would be easier to see them trying to buy someone out with Polonium than with gold!

  15. Re:Who gets the 1GB plan? on Microsoft Explains Windows Phone 7 'Phantom Data' · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 2

    Do you mean the Swiss alps?
    It's a different country, you know..

  17. Re:Bad omen? on New Windows Kernel Vulnerability Bypasses UAC · · Score: 1

    If it is all about the cash, then let's think this another way.

    How much money can you make by compromising the computer of millions of home users, so you can send billions of spam mail hoping a few thousand idiots will give you some credit card information, and not being able to use the cloned cards to buy shit without being profiled and probably arrested at some point?

    Now how much money can you make by compromising a big company's server (a market segment dominated by linux) to steal some industrial secrets and sell that to competitors?

    I doubt any serious companies would use a windows machine as a router / firewall to protect it's network. what we can see is that about 99% of all the firewalls installed in the internet to protect windows machines from the outside world are running linux... what does that tell us about the security flaws in windows and linux?

  18. Farenheit? on Scientists Using Lasers To Cool Molecules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What about human readable units for once? maybe 1 Kelvin or -272C would be OK

  19. He who brings a date to the play on Shakespeare In Klingon? · · Score: 3, Funny

    will be proclaimed their king!

  20. Re:Wait till the religion fanatics hear this. on Follow Up On Solar Neutrinos and Radioactive Decay · · Score: 4, Informative

    Since TFA says that the decay has slowed down, that would be the case

  21. Good timing on Follow Up On Solar Neutrinos and Radioactive Decay · · Score: 1

    This might be the best season to go on that trip to chernobill that I was planning...

  22. Tech for the future on 3D Graphics For Firefox, Webkit · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe this tech will be big when 3d monitors are out... just imagine the pop ups really poping out of your screen :)

  23. Re:!unmodified on HP Restores Creased Photos With Flatbed Scanners · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, but I'm guessing there was no reason for the scanners to come with individual controls for each light before this technology

  24. !unmodified on HP Restores Creased Photos With Flatbed Scanners · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In the article it says that they use an unmodified scanner, but later on they claim to control the lights of the scanner individually... how is this not modifing the hardware?

  25. Re:There is software to protect against this... on Man Accuses Cat of Downloading Child Porn · · Score: 4, Funny

    From the software FAQ:

    Q: My cat is deaf. Can you help me?

            A: PawSense detects the paws of even deaf cats. Even if a cat is deaf, PawSense blocks cat typing once detected. This makes it harder for the cat to mess up your programs, data files, and operating system.

            However, PawSense does not include a miracle cure for deafness.

    1 - How stupid can a person be before he is legally considered handicaped?
    2 - I wonder how much they charge extra for the deluxe package with miracle cure included!
