  1. Re:Photographic prints! on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 1

    Seconded. They do a great job on canvas prints too, FWIW.

  2. md5 and shell scripting on Ask Slashdot: What's a Good Tool To Detect Corrupted Files? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Go nuts.

  3. Re:Fix the CSS on my Android on Slashdot Coming Attractions · · Score: 1

    Completely borked on Lynx. Can't click on anything.

  4. Re:Comment follows on The Sounds of Tech Past · · Score: 1

    The video in TFA was admittedly my first time seeing a mimeograph in action. I'm surprised the printer guys were able to gain market traction...that mimeograph background music is delightful.

  5. Re:one word on Elon Musk: Future Round-Trip To Mars Could Cost Under $500,000 · · Score: 0

    bullshit

    Doubt that'll make a good rocket-fuel even if it is affordable.

    Same goes for Martian basalt.

  6. Re:Otherworldly? on Geologic Map of Jupiter's Moon Io Details an Otherworldly Volcanic Surface · · Score: 1

    Otherworldly and othermoonly.

  8. Re:Slack! on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Distro For Linux Lessons? · · Score: 1

    I am generally more proficient in Linux development and sysadmin duties than anyone I've ever met in my age/pay bracket.

    Presumably more proficient at being a blast to talk to at parties, as well.

  9. Re:shrinking? on Former Google Exec: Traditional Search Market Shrinking · · Score: 1

    What I'm wondering is: how did he manage to become a former exec in the first place?

    Not knowing about the existence of G+ for starters.

  10. Re:What do you mean, "what if?" on What If the Apollo Program Never Happened? · · Score: 1

    The fact that you can see the landing site with a powerful telescope apparently isn't good enough for some people.

    Fiction. Laser reflector makes the case, however...

  11. Re:Three times the height of a jet? on High School Students Send Lego Man 24 Kilometers High · · Score: 1

    If you mean to say 3 times the maximum altitude of most jet aircraft, say so.

    Or the typical cruising altitude of commercial jet airliners. Regardless, very clumsily put.

    Who cares about the commas? What I hate is the constant line breaks for no apparent reason.

  13. Re:I will never adopt 3D on Makers Keep Flogging 3D TV, Viewers Keep Shrugging · · Score: 4, Informative

    I hate having to wear glasses just to watch something. More so, it looks and feels like a gimmick.

    Gimmick aside, the glasses aren't necessarily requisite.

  14. Re:Err on Holo Theme Is Now Mandatory For Android Devices · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's depressing when my mom asks me to do something on her new Verizon Android phone and I stare at it in confusion for more than 5 minutes.

    That is quite common with Tier I family tech support. Suggest your mom escalate incident to Tier II.

  15. Re:Good job HTC on HTC Unlocks Bootloader For All of Its Devices · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll be in the market for a phone in the next few months...I'll remember this.

  16. Re:Simple Answer: on IT Managers Are Aloof Says Psychologist and Your Co-Workers · · Score: 3, Funny

    If God forks the Universe every time you roll a die, he'd better have a damned good memory.

    That's why he created git.

    Linus may prefer you to capitalize the 'H.'

  17. Resume? on Ask Slashdot: Ideal High School Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    Let me guess...software architect on there somewhere?

  18. Re:Amazon phone on Microsoft, Nokia, and Amazon Contemplated RIM Takeover · · Score: 4, Funny

    So all your calls would take twice as long as estimated to get there and be broken up when they do?

    Interesting troll. You passed on three easy targets in order to jab Amazon. Well played.

  19. Re:Superannuated? on Superannuated Scientists Still Productive · · Score: 5, Funny

    When did 40-55 become "superannuated"? Do I get to wear a cape?

    Depends.

    Maybe the young people just want to make PHONE CALLS on their cellPHONES. Now get off their lawns.

  23. Re:We could learn a thing or two.... on Canada First Nation To Pull Out of Kyoto Accord · · Score: 0

    Sad day when the Canadian's get it right and we're (Americans) led by liberal socialists...

    It looks like the liberals have control of our punctuation now as well. We're truly doomed.

    Don't blame me, I voted for Kang.

    I don't know... tech worker half life sounds like a well defined metric to me.
