  1. 3000 sq ft?! on Ask Slashdot: Ideas For a Geek Remodel? · · Score: 1

    If you live in a mansion like this, pay someone to put the system in.

  2. Better off using marbles on Paintball Pellets As a Tool To Deflect Asteroids · · Score: 1

    For the same weight, you'll transfer a lot more KE to the asteroid with a marble.

  3. They need to ignore MS on Apple CEO Likens Surface To Car That Flies, Floats · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Seriously - don't talk about them, don't mention them, don't respond to reporters about them, and DONT COMPARE YOURSELVES TO THEM. Once you let them into the conversation about a product, you're granting them an equivalence in many people's eyes. Don't give them the sanction.

  4. Re:Bisected? on EXT4 Data Corruption Bug Hits Linux Kernel · · Score: 4, Funny

    No this means the kernel has bug-like tendencies from time to time, but is not exclusively buggy. For instance when it's in college, or if its at a bar, and has had a few drinks, well then it might be buggy, but normally at work and at home and to all its friends it acts stable.

  5. They don't need you on The Struggles of Getting Into the App Store · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Apple is dealing from a position of strength. They don't need you.

  6. RAID5 for Wifi on Increasing Wireless Network Speed By 1000% By Replacing Packets With Algebra · · Score: 1

    You burn overall throughput for resiliency in the face of partial loss.

  7. Lowers barrier to entry on AMD FX-8350 Review: Does Piledriver Fix Bulldozer's Flaws? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I put together an 8way,32GB machine (no local storage) for $400 to play with ESXi. Courtesy of the freebie VMWare download and a reasonably priced 8way machine, I can get into some pretty serious VM work without spending a ton of dough. I don't need massive performance for a test lab.

  8. Re:Killing anonymity on Aussie Researchers Crack Transport Crypto, Get Free Rides · · Score: 3, Funny

    You live in AUSTRALIA, and you're suddenly worried about privacy/anonymity?

  9. Re:I don't get it on At $250, New Chromebook Means Competition For Tablets, Netbooks, Ultrabooks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And given the same Watt-sucking screen as any other netbook, you'll see at most a 10% improvement in battery life. FAIL.

  10. Re:Did the signal degrade, or the noise increase? on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Wireless Gear Degrade Over Time? · · Score: 2

    Or buy a new $40 router every 2 years. How much is your time worth?

  11. Shoe on the other foot on Facebook Won't Take Down Undercover Cop Page In Australia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sucks when the law works against you, doesn't it?

    Good for facebook - teach these little hitlers that society works both ways. Being a part of the executive doesn't provide you with special privilege.

  12. Re:Semi-Accurate on why AMD is cratering on Is Qualcomm the New AMD? · · Score: 1

    You realize that AMD management doesn't care if they succeed right? They're just riding the wave as long as they can, before they switch to other jobs.

  13. Re:Anything that ends in a question mark.... on Is Qualcomm the New AMD? · · Score: 1

    But this is Slashdot, the navel-gazing, furiously-masturbating group of guys who flunked high school journalism. So expect a lot of question marks.

  14. Re:We NEED Processor Competition on Is Qualcomm the New AMD? · · Score: 0

    You need architecture competition, who cares if AMD makes x64 knockoffs? Who cares if 10 companies make them?

  15. Net energy? on Scientists Turn Air Into Petrol · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this consumes far more energy than it "creates".

  16. All of which is ultimately meaningless on Carbon Dating Gets an Update · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    To anyone who works for a living.

  17. Re:Robert Heinlein would be proud on New HAL Exoskeleton: A Brain-Controlled Full Body Suit To Be Used In Fukushima · · Score: 1

    We have all that now.

  18. The word you're looking for is "Mech" on New HAL Exoskeleton: A Brain-Controlled Full Body Suit To Be Used In Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Didn't we go over this already... like, in the 80s ?

  19. Re:Crossing my fingers on Mars Rover Solves Metallic Object Mystery, Unearths Another · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not greed, it's simple math. No animal expends energy unless it can be reasonably sure the reward is more energy.

  20. She lost me on Jill Stein and Gary Johnson Debate Online Tonight · · Score: 1

    "We have to do something about the gross financial inequality in this country."

    FAIL.

    *click*

    You can divide a sandwich among many men, but you cannot digest it in a collective stomach.

  21. Re:if they keep using unity.. on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal Out Now; Raring Ringtail In the Works · · Score: 1

    Your 13 year old was not "productive" with anything - he was just looking for your porn stash.

  22. Zombie Apolcalypse? on NetBSD 6.0 Has Shipped · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did Netcraft confirm it?

  23. Old news? on New Evidence That the Moon Was Created In a Massive Collision · · Score: 1

    Who DOESNT think the moon was caused by a collision, outside of a few Creationists?

  24. Re:Stupid questions on Democracy Now Asks Third Party Candidates Questions From Last Night's Debate · · Score: 1

    And stupid answers, even by the so-called fringe candidates.

    "End illegal immigration!"
    "Fuck Wall Street"

    Lots of good discourse there.

  25. Its not Spamhaus, its your registrar on Zero Errors? Spamhaus Flubs Causing Domain Deletions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your registrar sucks, its nothing to do with Spamhaus.
