  1. Re:About time. we are talking about this on What 'Consumerization of IT' Really Means For IT · · Score: 1

    IT also forgot to tell them not to set their password as password, 1234, or their birthdate.

  2. Most secure is cash. on Sound-Based System Promises Chipless Phone Payment · · Score: 1

    The most secure transactions you can make is cash out of your wallet. Only person who can take it then is a mugger (or a girlfriend) and at least then I know when it happens and how much is missing. All these alternative payment systems (including debit and credit cards) are ripe for the taking because of the numerous hands and systems that touch the payment information along the way.

  3. Artificial meat on Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage · · Score: 1

    It's called a dildo.

  4. You have it all wrong on Ask Slashdot: FOSS, Multiplatform Skype Replacement for PC-to-PC Video Chat? · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is the perfect excuse to stop talking to your family.

  5. Oh? on NSA CS Man: My Tracking Algorithm Was 'Twisted' By the Government · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm shocked. The US government would never do something like that ever! A shame this will never reach +5 Sarcastic

  6. Re:The Slashdot system seems to work pretty well on Ask Slashdot: Going Beyond Comment Threads? · · Score: 1

    The upmods are entirely dependent on the moderators for the day. Which is the drawback to the system, there's human error. Maybe Skynet can fix this?

  7. Consultant on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Find a consultant to help with both upgrade and initial maintenance, not only will they take a big load off of you initially for the proper setup, they can teach and show you what is applicable to YOUR network, and take the blame if things go wrong down the road. Full Disclosure: I'm a network consultant. PS. Do you want my card? I like the sounds of unlimited budget :P

  8. What?!?! on Robot Throws First Pitch At Phillies Game · · Score: 1

    Now we allow them to throw projectiles?!?! Looks like I'll be purchasing my EMP weapon earlier than I thought.

  9. Re:like many programmers on Google Tweaks Algorithm; EHow Traffic Plummets · · Score: 1

    In all seriousness, I would prefer to have an expert handle the sex change.

  10. Name Change on Google Crowd-Sources Maps · · Score: 1

    A1 Awesome Bestest Chinese Restaraunt

  11. Price on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 1

    Buying a DVD from a best buy, for instance, I can find the smoking deals every week with 5 dollar movies. No chance of finding that for a blu-ray movie. I also prefer my DVD collection since I can watch them on any computer in the house, and my TV's, while blu-ray can only play from my work machine.

  12. Are you crazy?! on Robots Enter Fukushima Reactor Building · · Score: 5, Funny

    I object to letting our robotic overlords have control of nuclear material.

  13. Good intentions, (i see) bad results on Philips Develops Roadside Drug-Testing Device · · Score: 1

    As a casual marijuana user (once a week at my max) I have never driven while stoned because i believe driving is a responsibility not only to yourself but to others on the road and it requires your full concentration to be safe. I know how non-functional I can become when I am high and do not believe it is a very safe mindset to be in while driving. I believe noone should drive high and it is my personal belief that is what this device was created to stop, the story does not indicate how long the drugs have to be in the system to be detected by the device, or the length of time they can be detected for. Hopefully it is a very short period of time otherwise responsible casual users will be corralled up by police and jailed for nothing more than responsibly having a toke.
