  1. Re:There is no "removing" of anything... on Steve Wozniak Says Apple Must Fix iPhone 7 Bluetooth Or Revive Its Headphone Jack (afr.com) · · Score: 1

    Airline headphone jacks aren't standard jacks either. So you'd have to carry an adapter or pay the $3 either way.

  2. Re:Netflix has a unique and obvious strategy. on Slashdot Asks: What's Next For Netflix? (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, like $80-$120 includes the internet. Your area must not have Comcast.

  3. You appeared to reference the XKCD about this, but somehow forgot to link it.

  4. Re:Solves a different problem I'm not sure exists? on 'Never Miss Another Delivery' - if You Have a TrackPIN (Video) · · Score: 1

    UPS has the option of just holding it for you at the depot, and I would guess the other major delivery services do too. Through UPS its called "My Choice."

  5. Compression algorithm on Bellard Creates New Image Format To Replace JPEG · · Score: 1

    But what is the Weissman score?

  6. Re:$5 wrench on Another Hint For Kryptos · · Score: 1

    Obligatory link.

  7. Quote on Group Tries To Open Source Seeds · · Score: 2

    "If you're not exchanging germplasm, you're cutting your own throat."

    That's what I always say too! Except for here it might actually make sense.

  8. Re: over-stating the capabilities on One In Three Jobs Will Be Taken By Software Or Robots By 2025, Says Gartner · · Score: 1

    I'm constantly complaining that I have to order from actual people. Places like Chipotle have the online app so I can simply place my order and then pick it up. If there wasn't a 30 minute minimum, I would just do it in line instead of waiting to tell a person. A few kiosks have to be more convenient, in the way that they can be like the self checkout at a supermarket. They'll still have a human attendant, just for multiple machines.

  9. Mmm... on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Mammoth burgers!

  10. Re:Erm... on Long In Development, Toshiba 'SCiB' Battery Debuts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is Slashdot. We can't be bothered to read articles. Clearly, not even the editors have time!

  11. Driving? on Buy Your Own Tron Lightcycle For $35,000 · · Score: 1

    How the hell does this thing drive? Also,I can't imagine the astronomical tire replacement costs, but it looks like getting a new tire on there would be even worse.

  12. Re:Considering how well they did in the past... on World Cup Forecasting Challenge For Quants · · Score: 1

    That does sound worse.

  13. Re:I'm not holding my breath on Does Microsoft Finally Have a Phone Worth Buying? · · Score: 1

    I'm still using the first generation Samsung Blackjack, running WinMo 5, with a similar form factor to the Q and it works great. I've also met many other satisfied BJ users who only upgraded because they could cheaply after years of using the phones. I'd bet on Motorola...

  14. Re:Ok then... on Researchers Hack Biometric Faces · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Here's a high quality image of your face from your Facebook page. I mean, I'd have to join the Sacramento network, but its pretty easy if I wanted to.

    I imagine macraig.homedns.org and vulcan tourist.info had pics too but you can't seem to keep them up. I like the cartoon image of you that you usually use though.

  15. This article is not a Troll on The Death of the Greenphone · · Score: 2

    TrollTech still throws me off and makes me think its fake, but the Greenphone did sound really neat.

  16. Re:The next Big thing, again on Microsoft to Pay $240 Million for Stake in Facebook · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling you would have said the same thing last year when they were offered 2 Billion. Also, Google already has an advertising deal with MySpace so Microsoft is probably just trying not to let Google take up everything good on the web.

  17. Re:All the silly names made me laugh on IU's Choice of Search Engine ChaCha "Explained" · · Score: 1

    Well, according to their website, Cha is Chinese for "search." So unlike, say, Google or Yahoo!, the word has relevance to searching.

    I think the best part is that ChaCha uses Google ads on its results page.

  18. Re:Thats nothing.... on $99 HD-DVD Player Coming Soon? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are you new here?

  19. Re:it will work if... on The Failure of the $100 Laptop? · · Score: 1

    How is a 1000% maintenance cost reasonable?

  20. Re:Wrong, wrong, wrong! on Mahir To Borat, I Sue You! · · Score: 1

    See, if you saw the movie, you would know the humor doesn't come from insulting ethnic stereotypes. The real humor comes when people tell him how racist they are. Well, and making fun of Jews. Did you know they can shift their shape and lay eggs?

  21. Re:It's... on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 1

    Or how about leafs?

  22. Re:A big list of upcoming services on Another Google Tool To Take On PayPal? · · Score: 1

    Which works on your cell phone by the way.

  23. Re:OFFICIAL List of the 20 games on 20 Titles At Revolution Launch · · Score: 3, Funny

    Man, I cannot wait to play Mario Versus Capcom Versus SNK: Revolution! It'll be a lot nicer throwing fireballs with A instead of quarter-circle forward and punch.

  24. Re:uhm guys on SPECIAL BIRTHDAY REPORT!!! HEMOS IS 30 :) :) :) · · Score: 1

    Wow, that took me 15 minutes to figure out, but this site http://www.enigmaco.de/ has a good converter.

  25. Re:Blizzard's got some house-cleaning to do on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1
    Perhaps labeling yourself as a "nut-job" wasn't the best way to get votes.
