  1. Isn't this one of the signs of the coming Armageddon?

  2. Robotart? on Robots that Paint Have Gotten Pretty Impressive (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that Pris' pre-release codename?

  3. What happens? on What Happens To Summer TV Binges If Hollywood Writers Strike (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Go outside and play...

  4. Will they drive on normal roads on It's Official: Apple is Testing Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Or do they require their own proprietary iRoads?

  5. Re:MagSafe have save me tons of money on Apple Rumored To Remove Old-School USB Ports On Next MacBook Pro (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you've lost multiple hard drives and a broken screen because you keep tripping over the cords, maybe you need to think about where you are plugging things in.

  6. Forgot to mention... on Skip the Picks; Expert Uses Hammer To Open a Master Lock (csoonline.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You can use more than just a hammer. How about an acetylene torch? Bolt Cutters? Hydrofluoric acid? Typical "if all you have is a hammer" tunnel vision. I expect more from you, Slashdot!

  7. Only the basics? I learned the BASICs, Pascals, Modulas, and Cs without the internet...

  8. Highly Curated?!? on Dorms For Grownups: a Solution For Lonely Millennials? · · Score: 1

    When they reject my application because I'm 45, will that be discriminatory?

    Did someone finally clue them in?

  10. Wait, what? on Scotland To Ban GM Crops · · Score: 0, Troll

  11. Re:2 time the gravity thought on NASA Spies Earth-Sized Exoplanet Orbiting Sun-Like Star · · Score: 1

    Should be a great place for heavy metal poisoning. Or toxic wastelands.

    Thank you, Dr. Righteous!

    Hooray! Kepler just discovered Venus!

  13. No! on Ask Slashdot: Do You Use a Smartphone At Work, Contrary to Policy? · · Score: 5, Funny
    Of course not.

    --- Sent from my Verizon Wireless Galaxy S4

  14. To Quote James T. Kirk on Volkswagen Factory Worker Killed By a Robot · · Score: 1

    And how long will it be before all of us simply get in the way?

  15. Draw your own Circuit on Another 'Draw Your Own Circuits' System at SXSW (Video) · · Score: 1

    As demonstrated by Terl.

  16. UX Nightmare! on Control Anything With Gestures: Myo Bluetooth Protocol Released · · Score: 1
    Controlling music? What does Douglas Adams have to say about that?

    "For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive—you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program."

  17. Quantum Dot? on Behind the Scenes At a Quantum Dot Factory · · Score: 2

    Isn't that what got you into the secret room in Adventure?

  18. Safe? on No Fuel In the Fukushima Reactor #1 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.

    Because I'm not an Electric Sheep.

  21. They had to delete those tracks to make room for the new U2 album I didn't want...

  22. The chimp didn't help his case on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 3, Funny

    The chimp didn't help his case when he threw his own feces at the judge.

  23. Re:Oh good on Discovery Claims It Will Show a Man Being "Eaten Alive" By an Anaconda · · Score: 1

    I remember when The Science Channel, National Geographic, and Discovery showed actual science programming. Now they are filled with programming about loudmouth d-bags and their "dangerous" jobs, or redneck-backwoods survivors, or people doing stuff naked... I also remember when MTV played videos... Get off my lawn!

  24. Wireless charging? on Haier Plans To Embed Area Wireless Chargers In Home Appliances · · Score: 2

    I hope it isn't the same one used by Daystrom...

  25. Re:That's No Moon on Saturn's 'Death Star' Moon May Hide Subsurface Ocean · · Score: 5, Funny
