  1. Re:New Altitude record? on SpaceShipTwo Sets a New Altitude Record · · Score: 1

    Ft? I thought nerds thought in SI units.

  2. And what has this to do with the subject of this thread?

  3. Re:You Must Be Crazy ... on Mobile Banking Apps For iOS Woefully Insecure · · Score: 2

    Woosh...

  4. Hasn't it been long so that in the US big companies determine the political course and the 4-yearly elections are a way to make the citizens have the impression that they have an influence?

  5. There aren't many alternatives. And no, Linux is not always an alternative.

  6. Re:congrats guys and gals on Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Yahoo Form Alliance Against NSA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Indeed, they want the NSA to just buy the information it needs from them.

  7. Paper on Storing Your Encrypted Passwords Offline On a Dedicated Device · · Score: 2

    I store my passwords on a piece of paper. Works fine for me.

  8. Re:Da fuq? on Ask Slashdot: Application Security Non-existent, Boss Doesn't Care. What To Do? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He knows what his problem is. Why is your comment rated insightful?

  9. Indeed. However good you document the lack of progress and the disinterest of the managers, when something happens it will be your fault and you will have a shitload of problems. Leave ASAP.

  10. Re:Please allow me to propose a new site ... on Mediterranean Sea To Possibly Become Site of Chemical Weapons Dump · · Score: 1

    I didn't know that 'destroy' is another word for 'dump.'

  11. Re:Heat wave discouraged exercise? on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 1

    We built cars and planes and ran through the house with them.

  12. Re: Do some more studying on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 2

    Indeed. Drawing conclusions so prematurely is highly unscientific.

  13. Re:In Europe old people don't expect... on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 1

    WOOT!

  14. Re:Heat wave discouraged exercise? on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not only older people. When I was young we used to play with Lego in the winter and be outside when it was warm. Many of today's youth just play computer games all day long, on their playstations or what have you and outside on their phones. They only move their thumbs.

  15. Re:Seattle Rex said it best on The Art of Apple, In Pictures · · Score: 1

    Woosh :)

  16. Re:Too cute a story on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 2

    Yeah, that scan didn't come from nowhere.

  17. The beginning of the end? on Cupertino Approves New Apple Spaceship HQ · · Score: 1

    Many corporations who built a big new headquarters were gone within 5 years. Let's hope at that this does not happen to Apple.

  18. Re:Why is this interesting? on Cupertino Approves New Apple Spaceship HQ · · Score: 1

    If you don't understand that you are not a geek.

  19. Re:I remember using Phoenix 0.9 on Ninth Anniversary of Firefox 1.0 Release · · Score: 1

    Me too. I started with Netscape. I never used IE and I marveled at people who kept using the rusty and bent piece of junk IE6 was when the rest of the world had moved on.

  20. Re:don't care. on Ninth Anniversary of Firefox 1.0 Release · · Score: 1

    Those were very dark times. Sometimes I would go to a 'website' only to find out that it really was a .exe file that IE could run (of course with full privileges). My friend, who back then was an avid supporter of all things Microsoft, came to me once to tell me he had been looking for registration keys on the internet and now his computer was infected with so many viruses that it was completely unusable. I laughed and said: I warned you many times to not use IE! He went to FF and never looked back.

  21. Re:Chrome Is Better on Ninth Anniversary of Firefox 1.0 Release · · Score: 2

    I love FF. It has some features that make it much more usable than Safari for me. I never considered Chrome because I'm happy with FF and see no reason to change browsers. And now I have an extra reason not to change.

  22. Re:They are still damn overpriced on Apple 27-inch iMac With Intel's Haswell Inside Tested · · Score: 1

    And what's wrong with buying something expensive because you have the money and you like it?

  23. Re:How safe? on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 0

    So you didn't watch out otherwise you would have known she was behind you on the road bike.

  24. Re:Space station on Cassini Probe Sees Plastic Ingredient On Titan Moon · · Score: 1

    You burn methane, not O2. I guess for a non-chemist that's nitpicking though.

  25. Re:Can't you turn the effects off? on Why iOS 7 Is Making Some Users Feel 'Sick' · · Score: 1

    I think Steve would turn in his grave at the sight of iOS 7. He always made sure the effects that were there in 'his' OS's were functional and not just for show. iOS 7 is full of showy animations.
