  1. Re:See, the brain is a great computer on How a 1960s Discovery In Neuroscience Spawned a Military Project · · Score: 1

    Sorry to disappoint... He wasn't female enough.

  2. Re:Congratulations on Controlling Linux Using an Android Phone As Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad · · Score: 1

    Its less about making a big deal, and more about sharing cool news with others. I use /. for this as I dislike popup-driven buzzword riddled news sites like zdnet

  3. Re:Really? on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 1

    Oh but it so much more appropriate!

  4. Explanatory Memes on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 1

    “In the 40s, 50s, and 60s, Sears had it nailed. It was top-notch, but now it’s just a barren wasteland. And that’s Microsoft. The company just isn’t cool anymore.”

    Adds to Libraries of Congress, car analogies, and the other multifarious analogies for quantifiers the layman cannot comprehend. Plus it makes one think of breasts.

  5. Recursion: on How Open Source Hardware Is Driving the 3D-Printing Industry · · Score: 1

    When 3D printers print other 3D printers, that would be the "Third Industrial Revolution".

  6. Re:Easy on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Stay Employable? · · Score: 0

    This is why we browse at +1, proof that the moderation system is in fact not flawed, if only to catch comments from idiots like you.

  7. Re:Do you want it to work or not? on FSF Criticises Ubuntu For Dropping Grub 2 For Secure Boot · · Score: 2

    Slaps AC with a cold wet trout of sarcasm.

  8. But can it print a Tux? on Cubify 3D Printers Aren't Just for Squares (Video) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how durable and strong the material is, obviously strong enough to make that shoe, and flexible enough for that m.j. style glove worn by the guy in the video.

    #1 on my birthday wishlist!

  9. Re:really?? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    since PC's and operating systems are marketed as "consumer" devices, these people believe that the magical boxes should do as they expect, no CLI needed.

    this highlights the consumer's childlike mentality, and naivity, taken advantage of by sales for dosh. I digress.

    operating systems are *still* hobbyist and tinkerer things, despite marketings overzealous offerings.

  10. Hard Advertising on Sergey Brin Shows Project Glass Glasses to Journalists (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm so keen to see what that little screen displays in your eyeball, so these video promos annoy me a little that I don't get to see live action shots.

  11. Re:"Official launch"? on Samsung Galaxy S III Launched, Hands-On Testing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ... plus 4 years for African Countries. I just got my upgrade, the S1 promoted as "the phone" to have.

  12. Re:Abomination on Vein Grown From Her Own Stem Cells Saves 10-Year-Old · · Score: 2

    It's a pity your sarcasm was mislabelled 'Falmebait'... Then again, this isn't Digg or Reddit, this is a *Classy* establishment.

  13. Exceptions Per Second on Hawking Is First User of "Big Brain" Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Just imagine how many Windows BSOD's this "Big Brain" could possibly generate. Thank Satan it's uses a sensible (TM) Operating System.

  14. Interesting places to look at on Google Maps Introduces 8-Bit Quest Maps · · Score: 4, Interesting

    - Area 51 has a cow being abducted
    - Google Offices
    - Pyramids and Spinx
    - Desert and ice tiles
    - Many more to discover...

  15. But does it run GNU / Linux? on Accidental Empires To See Reboot In Blog Format · · Score: 1

    I'm interested to read this, but does it talk about the unsung greats?

  16. Re:"Gamification" doesn't make dull things a game. on Visual Studio Gets Achievements, Badges, Leaderboards · · Score: 1

    Well said AC! It reminds me of this grid of "How programming fanboys see each other"; Visual Studio deserves it's own column, each picture that of a tinka-toy.

  17. Re:Surely this is a good thing... on Symantec Admits Its Networks Were Hacked in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Indeed they have, it's endearingly called "applying the Linux patch"

    *grins*

  18. Re:Might as well. on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 1

    1) You can't catch any STI's from the Feds

    Love sure is a war

  19. Re:Teenagers are dumb. on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 1

    thank Bush for fucking up society

    As did Facebook, Myspace and MTV, dot dot dot. Just saying...

    P.S.: Except Slashdot. No, we are enlightened. Maybe a little fscked up, but we know it.

  20. Re:My ex wanted this. on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 1

    Kudos for sticking to your guns, looks like you learned a great lesson. Best for the future!

  21. Re:bypassing SOPA blockades: piracy? on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    The idea is not to prevent visitors from seeing a SOPA protesting site, but to make visitors very *aware* of the issue.

    As the Wikipedia FAQ states, "Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message." [1]

    As all Wikipedia content is Copyleft, circumventing their message isn't stealing, that goes for and is relative to each site in protest.

  22. Re:Models? Pfft. on Astronomers Find Three Exoplanets In Old Hubble Images · · Score: 1

    There's always the planet jackers.

  23. Re:encouraging community involvement??? on Linus' Lessons On Software Dev Management · · Score: 2

    His attitude is decidedly so to make people think twice about their code.

    If you want to take up a core developer, wouldn't you want her/him to be able to make solid, sane decisions using their own brain?

    Real coders don't expect to be spoon-fed. Linus knows this, and so do the rest of us... well most of us.

    Yes his attitude may seem ballsy and rude at most times, but at least he is honest about the process, the code and the people. I'd rather have that than a sneaky cheese making false promises under pretense guise.

  24. Re:Microsoft & its Shareholders on Microsoft Has Lost $5.5 Billion On Bing Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    And this is all from Windows users' monies. From crappy wireless media keyboards, badly handled support calls, the mandatory Windows tax and even calculators running Linux.

    Somebody, please... stop the madness!

  25. Re:War is power. on US Military Moving Closer To Automated Killing · · Score: 1

    Pushing a button in the CIC as apposed to a trigger right in front of you, steals from the thought process killing life.

    Logic dictates: No thinking -> easily ignore moral implications -> war crimes easy as pie.

    No my friend, some things should never be automated, lest the robots rule our world.
