  1. Re:Air Canada? on Snoozing Pilot Mistakes Venus For Aircraft; Panic, Injuries Ensue · · Score: 2

    Beavers aside, I don't actually see what the problem is. What if the situation were reversed? Way, way worse.

  2. Re:Transcription. on How Much Stuff Can Timothy Jam Into His New Hoodie's Pockets? (Video) · · Score: 1, Troll

    I don't see it as a slashvertisement. I see it as a cry for help.

    Does Timothy have some kind of disorder? Is he trying to draw attention to otherwise unnoticed severe autism? I don't think normal people would like to be associated with wearing an unflattering garment that they then burden with all of their possessions. Perhaps we can get Timothy and others like him some help before they fall out of society.

  3. Re:Looks like it's getting better... on HDD Price Update: How the Thai Floods Have Affected Prices, 3 Months Later · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's about buying smart. Instead of buying recertified drives, go for drives that really like the water like Barracudas and Caviar.

    Oh yeah, and I do agree that a giant gaping anus would very easily repel bullets with optical sensors. It's almost the perfect defence.

  5. Re:Hmmmmm on Self-Guided Bullet Can Hit Targets a Mile Away · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, my original point was not to misdirect the bullet but to blind it. You try detecting modulation in a field of sensor-overloading laser dots.

    Also, sorry for short-linking. Yes, it's a habit from being forced to on forums that don't allow linking code and break long URLs into pieces.

  6. Re:Curious on Ask Slashdot: Are Daily Stand-Up Meetings More Productive? · · Score: 1

    SCRUM pushes standup meetings. Do some googling eh.

  7. Re:Curious on Ask Slashdot: Are Daily Stand-Up Meetings More Productive? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is what I came to say. We had standup meetings every day and it devolved into one particularly megalomaniacal aspie micro-manager telling staff how to stand in the most abusive tone possible. I quit shortly after that started.

    Hey, it's Slashdot. We can still find ways to break it.

  9. Re:Steven Spielburg? on Review: Cowboys & Aliens · · Score: 0

    Shit reviewer can't spell eminent director's name. Shit reviewer refers to low-budget, panned sci-fi and a foreign cartoon that only has cowboys in the name when talking about an unrelated movie. Shit reviewer doesn't actually summarize his review. Did he like it? Is saying it's not like Firefly good, or bad? Just kidding, we know you think Firefly is the epitome of cinema. We just know you're also wrong.

    Shit reviewer should stop reviewing.

  10. Re:They tried this already. on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1

    No, it's far less than that. Most crops are pollinated manually by people before the insects have time to take care of it.

  11. Re:This site works best with... on OK Go Goes HTML5 · · Score: 1

    If by "works best" they mean "opens 50 browser windows" then that's what I get using Chrome on Ubuntu.

  12. Re:They tried this already. on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1

    The article is talking rubbish. That factoid about bees pollinating 90% of the world's food crops is extremely inaccurate.

  13. Re:They tried this already. on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1

    Not only been tried, it's unnecessary.

    Commercial crops aren't pollinated by honeybees alone. There are many insects responsible for insect pollination. Not to mention that most crops are pollinated manually by pureeing male plants and spraying them on the others.

    This situation is a typical example of so-called in-the-know bloggers making completely false claims due to ignorance. Slashdot: so very, very average.

  14. Re:Ten points if reading this on your second monit on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    You speak the truth brother. At home I have two 22" on either side with a vertical 24" in the middle and a 15" tucked into the side of my case. I'm still trying to work out how to integrate the 50" plasma, but for now it's in front of the couch for movies and gaming.

    At work, two screens BARELY suffices.

  15. Re:I looked at it this way on What Does IQ Really Measure? · · Score: 1

    You'd better call Guiness, because you're ranking up there with the most intelligent people in the world.

    Oh wait, you're a fucking dickhead on slashdot who felt like the minor ego delusion of claiming he's brilliant. Actual testing will prove that you're 120.

  16. Re:For those with less sense and less money on Erasing CDs By Using 150,000 Volts of Electricity · · Score: 1

    None of this stops someone from going back in time and getting the original.

    The only way to secure your data is by not creating it in the first place. THINK, PEOPLE!

    Not bad.

  18. Why be such morons? on Swedish File-Sharers File For Religious Status · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is not the way to get the ethos behind file-sharing taken seriously. It's counter-productive and childish.

  21. Re:"awesomely bad 80s graphics" on 'Tron: Legacy' Director Explains the Tron World · · Score: 1

    I've seen the movie and enjoyed it. However there are STRONG elements of classical good guy/bad guy stuff in it. As a result, Bad Flynn is more enjoyable for his range of emotion than Good Flynn. In fact, literally every single one of the bad guys is more interesting than every single one of the good guys. So not so amazing character development, but the music and visual style goes a way to making up for it.

  22. Re:Dear Bruce on Schneier Recommends Nuclear-Style Cyberwar Hotlines, Treaties · · Score: 1

    Not to mention nuclear war REQUIRES the resources of a government. Who is to say that a government is or knows they are responsible for an internet attack?

  23. Re:What is he hiding? on British Teen Jailed Over Encryption Password · · Score: 1

    Considering they think he has child pornography, I think the response is reasonable.

  24. Re:How do you get offenders to stop? on Is the Web Heading Toward Redirect Hell? · · Score: 1

    Or none of it. At that point he actually thought it was a series of tubes. We hear metaphor but he was speaking literally.

    At least, in the end, his death was a series of heavy jolts and possibly an explosion. He lived as he died, descriptively.

  25. Re:Cue increase in accidents on Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It'd be really sweet if the families of anyone killed by a legally speeding driver got the $25.
