  1. Conclusive evidence video games cause violence. on Wolfram Alpha Drills Deep Into Facebook Data · · Score: 1

    Because it leads to politics later in life.

  2. Pearson? Is this also the textbook publisher? on Pearson Vue Now On Day 5 of Massive Outage · · Score: 1

    Their logo appears to be the same font as my woefully overpriced Pearson textbooks. That does not amuse me.

  3. Re:Cheap Chinese knock off? on Growing Consensus: The Higgs Boson Exists · · Score: 1

    It's the God particle of course.

  4. I choose you Expirty! on Certificate Expiry Leads to Total Outage For Microsoft Azure Secured Storage · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He is a new time traveling Pokémon.

  5. Re:Corporate America to the Rescue? on China's Stealth Fighter Flight Test Successful · · Score: 1

    Clearly this is a 3 trillion dollar patent infringement lawsuit that covers multiple industries. Yes I'm joking, but I'm sure Apple still wants to sue anyway.

  6. Microwave weapons have been in use for 30 years. on 50 Years of Research and Still No Microwave Weapons · · Score: 2

    They're called HotPockets.

  7. Re:WTF. on Torvalds Takes Issue With De Icaza's Linux Desktop Claims · · Score: 1

    Not a system image, system restore. Where you choose a different date. It takes all of a few minutes. The disk was perfectly fine I am still using it and even verified by running Spinrite which came up with nothing at all. This is what Miguel is saying in his article. You are basically telling me I am doing it wrong.

  8. Re:WTF. on Torvalds Takes Issue With De Icaza's Linux Desktop Claims · · Score: 0

    ... and I just tried to update Ubuntu a couple weeks ago, ended up with a session that wouldn't let me shut down, log out, or even start any new programs. Then when I decided to reboot the keyboard and touchpad didn't work. Linux doesn't even have a basic System Restore feature like Windows to quickly resolve problems like this. Desktop is about refinement and stability, not about how many window managers you have.

  9. I don't see the version for washing machines? on HP Launches Beta of Open webOS · · Score: 0

    I was expressly promised that WebOS would run on washing machines. >:(

    ...or just another kernel version number for servers?

  11. Re:Does Windows 8 have an opt-out feature? on Windows 8 Tells Microsoft About Everything You Install · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you are correct but I don't want to move to Neptune. The weather is a real bitch.

  12. Thorium on Bill Gates To Develop a Revolutionary Nuclear Reactor With Korea · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's all I have to say about that.

  13. After living through a cat5 I can say no. on Could a Category 5 Hurricane Take Down East Coast Data Centers? · · Score: 1

    After seeing Andrew in 1992, I can say no, your data centers are just waiting to be ripped out of the ground.

  14. As long as they... on GNOME Developers Lay Out Plans for GNOME OS · · Score: -1, Troll

    make it easy for hardware manufacturers to create binary drivers that don't need to be fixed and patched with every little update. Otherwise it's just another obscure OS for tinkering.

  15. burned bridges? on YouTube App Removed From iOS 6 Beta4 · · Score: 1

    I think so, but that's how Apple does business.

  16. and everyone but me hated Caprica! on fMRI Lets Israeli Student Control Robot In France With His Mind · · Score: 2

    Now you have real school kids controlling real robots in real life with their real minds.

  17. Isn't that a threat? on Fastest Growing US Export To China: Education · · Score: 1

    To their ideals,... of something or other? Poisoning their youth etc etc.

  18. Playstation 4? on AMD and ARM Team Up · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like a console chip to me.

  19. Please use it to replace news commentary hosts. on Could a Computer Write This Story? · · Score: 1

    Maybe then we won't have to hear about the left or the right or some other such person who has some wild conspiracy to destroy the country with their agenda.

  20. HP Z1 easy to repair: photo teardown on Ask Slashdot: All-In-One PC For Kitchen? · · Score: 1

    http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HP-Z1-Teardown/8840/1 My only concern would be cooking oils and fat ruining the touch screen.

    They discovered if you inject cash directly into your bloodstream that you can cure AIDS.

  22. Dude I lost my iPhone... on Ashton Kutcher To Play Steve Jobs In Upcoming Film · · Score: 1

    in a bar!

  23. Re:Netflix has authority beyond the law? on Netflix Terms of Service Invalidates Your Right To Sue · · Score: 1

    This comes down to procedure for handling situations where one law contradicts another law. Netflix has insufficient jurisdiction and insufficient reason to contradict existing law. Netflix merely wants to save money on legal fees. It's not good enough.

  24. Netflix has authority beyond the law? on Netflix Terms of Service Invalidates Your Right To Sue · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The company should be fined and their head of legal sent off to federal "pound you in the ass" prison for even attempting to put this in an EULA. How can an EULA supersede law?

  25. I know for a fact that Earth is gaining in mass on Is the Earth Gaining Or Losing Mass? · · Score: 1, Funny

    ... because half of that dust is on my car.
