  1. Re:Oh boy... on Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario · · Score: 1

    'Hope it was at least entertaining.'

    No.

  2. Re:Debian & Galaxy please on Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario · · Score: 1

    Download MAME Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. It's Available for Linux and Android platforms. Then Google around for a ROM set for your mame version number.

  3. Re:Parenting on Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario · · Score: 1

    And you are an amatuer troll. A dad does something nice for his little girl and you feel the need to be a snot.

    Three year olds don't play Sims.

    He did sprite editing which is more that digging code with a hex editor.

    "First world problem" is a stupid expression. Go back to Reddit.

  4. Re:Parenting on Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Ninja parenting skills. As a dad with little girls (and a Donkey Kong fan) I wish he'd put the ROM out there.

  5. Re:Good idea on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 4, Funny

    >> "Good idea; I wish there were a way to implement it."

    Your time would be better spent trying to save the Buggy Whip industry. They haven't been doing so well since the arrival of the horseless carriage.

    You do have a Buggy Whip in your car, yes? If not, you're part of the problem.

  6. If you don't want phone books in your yard... on Don't Want a Phonebook? Give Up Your Privacy · · Score: 2

    ...you must help me defeat the Lizard Men once and for all.

    And I was out there no later than 2:45.

  7. Re:Speed and cost on Do Kiosks and IVRs Threaten Human Interaction? · · Score: 1

    If you've been traveling the last thirty hours I'm going to guess you probably had your hotel reservations set up in advance. Most big name hotels have an automated check-in for people with advance reservations.

    I agree about wanting the check in to be simple but after the fact I appreaciate if there is decent local concierge service. That's not the type of thing people want automated. Some hotel chains may have a centralized call center but even that creates it's own set of problems .

  8. Is REPT playing Star Castle? on NASA Discovers Third Radiation Belt Circling Earth · · Score: 2

    We had a third belt and then we didn't... gamers are at fault.

  9. Selective enforcement on Texas Declares War On Robots · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These are examples of laws used selectively on occassion to harass people who encounter an officer on a bad day. The local RC club isn't likely to run into problems but a group of kids using an AR.Drone to record their skateboarding might get fined and lose the device.

    It seems to be the way laws are written anymore. Everyone is a criminal in the eyes of the law, so be quiet, sit down and don't draw attention to yourself. If you speak out they'll find a way to come after you.

  10. If he joins your network... on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...I think that means he's consenting to letting you administrate his system. I suggest you do so.

  11. JVillian - Comment of the day on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Speaking of evolution - I wish for billiant posts like the parent Slashdot allowed higher scores than 5.

  12. Texas would like to think of it as a hypothesis... on Texas School Board Searching For Alternatives To Evolutionary Theory · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...or maybe a theorem. Or a rumor.

    Maybe a wacky folk story.

    "Darwin's Wise Tale of Evolution"

  13. What has been the least successful outcome? on Interviews: Ask Blendtec Founder Tom Dickson What Won't Blend? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In your opinion what is the item that blended most poorly or caused you to regret the attempt?

  14. Re:Dumb place to mount the camera on Four At Once: Volcano Quartet Erupts On Kamchatka · · Score: 1

    Why should the pilot be resonsible for the quality of the camera shot when a motorized mount can do the job with the push of a few buttons?

  15. Dumb place to mount the camera on Four At Once: Volcano Quartet Erupts On Kamchatka · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's some type of long armature and a camera mount. The problem is the helicopter is taking up a large portion of the 360 view. They should have placed a mount under the copter instead, preferably one that could be extended during flight.

  16. Re:Robo lawsuit trolling on FTC Gets 744 New Ideas On How To Hang Up On Robocallers · · Score: 1

    "... which is $750 in my pocket each time they do it."

    You have my attention. Please explain.

  17. Robo lawsuit trolling on FTC Gets 744 New Ideas On How To Hang Up On Robocallers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've arrived at the point where I hate my land line. I'd drop it in a second but my wife thinks it's important. None of our friends or family ever call the land line, it's always trolls. I dunno.

    But I digress. I had a new one last night. My land line rings and I can't help myself, I need to see what asshole it is this time. I've been getting a lot of survey calls recently and I'm now openly hostile to them "get a real job, f-ck off". This time it's a robocall collecting names for a class action lawsuit against a medicine. "Have you ever taken whateveritscalled and experienced the following side effects? Blah Blah Blah. If so you are entitled to receive penies on the dollar while our bloodsucking ambulance chasers get rich"

    So now we have lawsuit trolling to look forward to.

  18. Deagol gets a new smartphone... on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 1

    I hope he's careful who he shows it to. It's his brother's birthday.

  19. Death Star must be registered... on The Empire Writes Back About the Failed Death Star Petition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Empire's Death Star qualifies under new Executive Orders issued today by the White House as an assult weapon. As such Grand Moff Tarkin is required to surrender possession within mandated timeframes and confirm registration on all other non-qualifying items in the Imperial armory. W. Tarkin and Anakin Skywalker aka D.Vader must also submit to a Universal Background Check.

  20. Def Leppard fans are probably better off over time on Drug Allows Deafened Mice to Regrow Inner Ear Hair · · Score: 2

    ... than the hearing of younger music fans listening to todays music. It's well established recording levels on newer, digitally mixed music is higher and features fewer audio low points than music from the early 90's and prior.

    Also consider ear buds are the new norm for most music players, delivering sound directly to the ear canal. Your parents had walkmen with crappy foam headphones that didn't stay centered over the ear all that well.

  21. Solid state drives. on The Trouble With 4K TV · · Score: 1

    Put movies on cartriges. By the time 4K is ready to become a standard it will make more sense to use solid state drives than optical. They should focus on making flash memory faster and distribute films on jump drives. Kingston has a 1TB key drive in the lab now.

  22. You can't just pull some out of your ass? on Worldwide Shortage of Barium · · Score: 1

    Oh, wait...

  23. If you lost your kids at Disney... on Disney Wants To Track You With RFID · · Score: 2

    I took my family to WDW in Orlando last year for a week. We had a great time, no problems. But one concern I had the entire time was "what if we get seperated from the kids?" I'm sure this happens constantly at the park and there's a whole system in place.

    Before we left I installed an App on my android that featured maps of the four parks, wait times for rides, locations of characters, restaurants and all that. What if you could your individual party members on your phone? "Person 1 scanned their wristband at Star Tours at 12:34pm"

  24. I for one welcome our Chinese Zookeeper Overlords on Panda Blood May Hold Potent Assailant Against Superbugs · · Score: 1

    Well, if our useless lawmakers in Washington can't make big pharma offer competitive pricing maybe China can.

  25. I'd settle for a jump drive with a micro-USB jack on A Wish List For Tablets In 2013 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The reason you want a full sized USB jack demonstrats where the jump drive market is behind the times. I'd like to see guys like Kingston start putting micro-USB connectors on jump drives.
