  1. Re:NSA paid Microsoft to purchase Skype on FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Because the title of the article is FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks. It just popped in my head what can I say.

  2. NSA paid Microsoft to purchase Skype on FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks · · Score: 0

    Of course I'm being flippant, but somehow it wouldn't amaze me.

  3. It's going to blow up in their face. on Google Preparing "Google Mine" For Organizing and Sharing Your Stuff On Google+ · · Score: 1

    and all over NSA underpants.

  5. Re:Awesome on AMD Making a 5 GHz 8-Core Processor At 220 Watts · · Score: 2

    It can do both.

    Windows loader, or an army of lawyers.

  8. Re:You're a console fanboy, aren't you? on AMD Launches New Richland APUs For the Desktop, Speeds Up To 4.4GHz · · Score: 1

    Err no I'm not a console fan at all. I'm only highlighting how slow the APU is compared to other APUs that AMD makes. If AMD wants APUs to be taken seriously they need to make them a little more compelling than entry level. AMD can do that, but they don't. AMD only makes entry level APUs for PC.

  10. Google hire me, I solved this problem in 3 seconds on Vint Cerf: Data That's Here Today May Be Gone Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I would solve this by installing a Windows XP VM with a copy of Office XP. Now that I solved Google's hard problem they must now see I am qualified to work there. Google is on a FUD rampage of which the likes I haven't seen since the great Microsoft FUD storms.

  11. Eve Online on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: 3, Funny

    aka Spreadsheet Simulator 2013?

  12. Ownership != Operatership on Monju Nuclear Plant Operator Ordered To Stop Restart Preparation · · Score: 1

    I'm starting to think the people who own nuclear plants shouldn't be the same people who operate them, at least in Japan.

  13. Consoles aren't profitable? on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    *blink* *blink* No... I'm pretty sure Sony and Microsoft are making lots of money off licensing, game sales, and content distribution. The point is that the hardware itself doesn't need to be profitable.

  14. Still not worried. on Tests Show That Deadly New Flu Could Spread Among People · · Score: 2

    I am not a ferret.

  15. In other news: on Eric Schmidt: Teens' Mistakes Will Never Go Away · · Score: 2

    Horray!

  19. Re:Reminder, all ads are evil on Nintendo Hijacks Ad Revenue From Fan-Created YouTube Playthroughs · · Score: 2

    True, I did an experiment with my old netbook where I checked Firefox cpu usage with 4 tabs open. When ABP was on the cpu usage was around 4%. When ABP was off, CPU usage was around 40-60%.

  21. Maybe truth labels instead? on San Francisco Abandons Mobile Phone Radiation Labels · · Score: 1

    WARNING: This product could very likely kill you at some point. The only reason we are allowed to sell it is because we throw countless millions at politicians.

    You're right. I think I see the duty free shop on the right hand side of the photo.

    This is clearly a classic Giorgio Tsoukalos formation.

  24. Re:How is this interesting? on Xkcd's Long-running "Time" Comic: Work of Art Or Nerd Sniping? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's about building something (a person's life to be specific) then time comes along and destroys it (death), like tides destroy sand castles. At least I assume that's what it's about, that might be too obvious though.

  25. Tell them they will be graded. on Ask Slashdot: How To Teach IT To Senior Management? · · Score: 1

    Then tell them grades will be posted on the bulletin board. Then tell them if they get less than a B they need to take the class over again.
