  3. double this on Former Goldman Sachs Programmer Arrested and Charged Again For Code Theft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Feds walk away from prosecuting Goldman, SEC misses Madoff, but this guy needs to be prosecuted - twice!

    More Oblig: first comic sans joke

  5. easy on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Professional Geek Dress Code? · · Score: 1

    Wear Tevas. Doesn't matter what else you have on. Fridays don't wear any shoes at all. For better or worse you'll fit right in.

  6. I'm going to... on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 4, Funny

    Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.
    They got some crazy strands of fiber there and I'm a gonna get me some!

  7. Re:Huh? on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 1

    Does this ban affect all neodymiummagnets or only ones called 'buckyballs'?

  8. twisted pair, twisted logic on Who Really Invented the Internet? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A general wiring specification is hardly on a level playing field with creating the internet. That's like saying Xerox's mouse created the PC. A nice piece of the puzzle perhaps, but not credit-worthy.

    Why exactly do we need to pay continual homage to Xerox? To create more urban legends instead of dispel and dismiss them?

  9. 8gb? on 16GB Nexus 7 Sold Out On Google Play Store · · Score: 2

    With flash memory so cheap, why would anyone release a tablet with less than 32GB? Our CAD stations have more RAM.

  10. Ham Spam Egg Sausage Spam on FCC Tariff Changes Mean No More Free Conference Calls · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With the amount of email I get from free internet conference call providers, I am sure they will have no problem telling me about it for months.

  11. I decree that... on Google Says Some Apple Inventions Are So Great They Should Be Shared · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Translation: Steve's gone, mind if we drive?

  12. ISP Club for Men on Aussie Network Engineers Form Members-Only ISP · · Score: 1

    Where your not just a member, you're also a client.

    Your Amativeness and Causality lead me to conclude a great reduction in your Alimentiveness and Form, therefor life in prison for you, my Philprogentiveness friend!

  14. Re:the ringside view on In Advance of Ramadan, Indonesian Gov't Starts Massive Censorship Push · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see where the wrath of god strikes after this.

    God and His wrath are never on strike. The might have a slowdown if wages are not raised though.

  15. Re:One million? on In Advance of Ramadan, Indonesian Gov't Starts Massive Censorship Push · · Score: 1

    It just doesn't seem likely that there are a million porn sites. I wouldn't have guessed 1 million in the world, and certainly not 1 million that the Indonesian government can block.

    Reddit cableporn
    chair porn
    furrysex


    That's a few billion right there. "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." Also porn. George Bush saying "awesome", porn. You get the picture. If not pray to Mohammed for forgiveness or whatever he is offering this holiday season.

  16. patched on Microsoft Taking Heat For Five-Figure Xbox 360 'Patch Fee' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just send '0xB16B00B5' to the console,

  17. repetitive phrases slightly modified on Unbreakable Crypto: Store a 30-character Password In Your Subconscious Mind · · Score: 5, Funny

    This 30-character sequence is played back to the user three times in a row, and then padded out with 18 random characters, for a total of 108 items. This sequence is repeated five times (540 items), and then there’s a short pause. This entire process is repeated six more times, for a total of 3,780 items.

    Replace 'character' with 'note' and it's clear subjects were tortured with Philip Glass for 80 hours and won't soon forget.

  18. survey says on Political Ideology Shapes How People Perceive Temperature · · Score: 0

    Individuals who followed George W. Bush all thought the temperature was "awesome".

  19. Re:Prior Art on An Olympic Games For Enhanced Athletes? · · Score: 2

    Let the beefcakes and roid-ragers have their own games. Leave them to Wrestling fans who don't care about the cost of winning or beauty, only the content.
    The rest of us idiots can watch normal people play sports. We wont have to hear about who did or didn't fail their drug tests anymore.

    Keep those juiced-up losers away I am tired of hearing their names tossed around in the world of real sports.

  20. freedom of Rim on How NY Gov. Cuomo Sidesteps Freedom of Information Requests With His Blackberry · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do sysmgr geeks love RIM? Above is one of many reasons, along with enterprise integration, remote administration, custom device policies. For years nothing could compete.

    Droids/iStuff can run apps, but none of them could do exactly what a BB does, although perhaps that gap is narrowing. Too bad RIM is so far behind on the game nowadays no one will buy their devices and market share is plunging. 10% of value 1 year ago? Madness.

  21. Re:They are the good guys on How the Inventors of Dragon Speech Recognition Technology Lost Everything · · Score: 5, Interesting

    IN BIZARRO WORLD

    Mr. Berzofsky ... was asked one more time — the fact that the Bakers and Dragon’s shareholders lost everything doesn’t affect your opinion?
    “Correct,” Mr. Berzofsky responded. “We guided them to a completed transaction.”

  23. other interesting facts on Social Networks, Suicide and Statistics · · Score: 5, Insightful
    • 1) People who successfully commit suicide do not poll well.
    • 2) Most that fail to commit suicide realize they shouldn't be looking for help on social networks.
    • 3) Those that fail to commit suicide and then fail to realize they shouldn't be looking for help on social networks attempt suicide again. If successful, see 1, if unsuccessful, loop until 3.
