  1. I'm glad that this does not mean over the internet.

  2. This means on Nigerian Scam Artists Taken For $33,000 · · Score: 1

    Some of those offers to send me money could be real?

  3. If it's only for your class on Webhosting For A Large Art Project? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would host it at home. If it's only for a professor to see, you should not be getting a lot of traffic. Just keep it on a machine that is separate from anything important.

  4. I suggest on Ask Slashdot: Parallel Cluster In a Box? · · Score: 0

    Amazon EC2.

  5. Illusions on The Science of Humor · · Score: 1

    Why aren't illusions hilarious?

  6. I'm probably not the only one on Fee Increase Attempt Inspires 'Dump Your Bank Day' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I had heard of credit unions before, but I didn't know what they were and I didn't have sufficient interest to find out. I only researched it after this Bank of America incident. Now that I know, it's obvious to me that a credit union is better.

  7. Re:Cool, how durable is it? on 'Invisible Glass' Solves Screen Reflection Problems · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about the ones that they are using, but very durable anti-reflective coatings have been available for years. They are used in UV filters for cameras.

  8. In other words on Extension To Chrome Brings Remote Desktop Abilities · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A new security vulnerability has been introduced that will be marketed as a useful feature that rarely gets used for its intended purpose.

  9. This is new? on Security By Obscurity — a New Theory · · Score: 1

    I thought it was obvious.

  10. Re:Write a large project yourself on Ask Slashdot: Best Programs To Learn From? · · Score: 1

    I definitely agree with this. I have learned far more by creating my own projects than I have from taking classes, reading books, or reading other people's code.

  11. Invconvenient position on NYT Working On 'Magic Mirror' For Bathroom Surfing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many of us have a mirror positioned to watch us use the toilet?

  12. Energy Cost? on Swiss Researchers Try to Make it Rain With Lasers · · Score: 1

    If the total energy/financial cost of causing rain is more than the cost of transporting water via conventional means, then it's not really practical.

  13. Uniform composition? on Moon Younger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is my understanding that the surface is composed of meteorites that hit long after the core formed. Dating the surface should not give you the age of the moon as a whole unless it's uniform in composition. If you do the same to date the Earth, then creationists will have plenty more fuel to support their story.

  14. Investments? on Making Graphics In Games '100,000 Times' Better? · · Score: 1

    "It's not clear what exactly is getting multiplied"

  15. Quidditch on Japanese Military Invents Tumbling, Flying Sphere · · Score: 1, Funny

    It just has to be miniaturized a bit.

  16. In contrast on IT Night Shift Workers: Fat and Undersexed · · Score: 2

    Daytime IT workers are not overweight and have plenty of sex?

  17. I have an account on Massive LinkedIn IPO Raises Dotcom Bubble Concerns · · Score: 1

    And I never use it. I don't even know what it's for. It's like a limited purpose version of facebook.

  18. Re:Too many obvious jokes for this on A Sticky Touch Screen Lets You Feel the Buttons · · Score: 1

    Like that.

  19. Too many obvious jokes for this on A Sticky Touch Screen Lets You Feel the Buttons · · Score: 0

    And I don't see a single one posted yet.

  20. Feels nothing like a kiss on Robotic "Tongue" Lets You French Kiss Over The Internet · · Score: 2

    A rotating straw does not feel anything like a kiss. I assume that nobody involved in this project has ever really kissed before.

  21. Free internet would be more useful on Malaysian Government Offers Free E-mail To All Citizens · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of free email services that anyone could get if they had internet. Getting free email with no way to access it would be useless.

  22. Lucky on Major Outage At the Amazon Web Services · · Score: 1

    My instance is on us-east-1d which is still up.

  23. Doesn't surprise me on 5 Out of 11 Crashed Unity In Canonical's Study · · Score: 1

    It is very buggy on my laptop. The whole screen goes blank whenever I put the pointer on the left edge of the screen.

  24. Cloud Computing on Obama Administration Wants Your Old Email · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is my old data on a cloud based system considered abandoned if I continue to actively use the system but don't touch some items?

  25. Re:Um... on 100% Libre, Trisquel 4.5 STS 'Slaine' Released · · Score: 2

    I have been using Linux for years and never heard of this distro. It's not even in the top 100 according to Distrowatch.
