    Percona non grata

  2. Prior art surely? on IBM Patent: Smart Floors Detect Heart Attacks, Intruders · · Score: 5, Funny

  3. Re:Sad news... on Inventor of the Modern Pinball Machine Dies At 100 · · Score: 1

    I think I read not too long ago that there is either zero or one companies left making pinball machines.

  4. Really? on RIM Trying To Woo Customers With Porn, Gambling Apps? · · Score: 1

    I'm not even sure App-facilitated access to porn would be even a latent concern for me the next time I buy a smart-phone. What could compete with the glory of undulating breasts in 1080p?

  5. Re:Who was the idiot who just let this happen? on New Avenue For MRSA 'Superbug': Pigs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is especially true in countries where farms haven't evolved into 'super-farms'. You have the likes of dairy-farmers who are heavily exposed to the volatility which comes part-and-parcel with specialization (i.e. lack of diversification). For a small family farmer, there is limited benefit to thinking long-term. Their livelihood is tied up with next quarter's profit and they don't have the sophistication/time to be hedging exposure on futures exchanges.

  6. Windows Life, I bid you adieu on Microsoft Killing Off Zune, Windows Live Brands? · · Score: 1

    I can't say I'm too disappointed about Live being canned. I installed the product family when prompted to after installing Windows 7 and promptly removed it. I prefer the idea of branding it 'Microsoft Account'. It sounds more like an email address I could email potential employers from.

  7. At least... on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 1

    we'll be able to witness the 'resale value' elasticity of demand.

  8. Management Speak 2.0 on ODF 1.2 Is Approved · · Score: 1

    > Companies can use this technology to structure their workflow.
    Yesh indeed.

  9. Re:How I've done it in the past... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Just stick the HF acid in your bathtub...what could possibly go wrong?!

  10. Why does this even need to be discussed? on Supreme Court To Consider First Sale of Imports · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Surely this should be a foregone conclusion

  11. The coolest letter of the alphabet on Best Seating Arrangement For a Team of Developers? · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Atheists Unite... as a religion on Ireland's Blasphemy Law Goes Into Effect · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Atheism is a religion inasmuch as not playing tennis is a sport.

  13. Re:Charities? on Charities Upset Over Chase Facebook Contest · · Score: 1

    Seems a very odd way to stop criminals robbing people.

  14. Re:It's sad to think someone modded this troll on Charities Upset Over Chase Facebook Contest · · Score: 1

    I lol'd so hard reading your posts.

  15. Re:No, they didn't on Google Patents Displaying Patents · · Score: 1

    Discard that...I'm still trying to make sense of it. The word display has lost all meaning...drugs are bad mmmkay.

  16. Re:No, they didn't on Google Patents Displaying Patents · · Score: 2, Funny

    Article title should be "Google Display Patent Patent Display"

  17. Re:Go censorship! on AU Classification Board To Censor Mobile Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd hazard that the only things to be censored will be a few isolated but popular (newsworthy) apps which have the potential to be politically embarrassing.

  18. Re:No HP??? on TI vs. Calculator Hackers · · Score: 1

    I love RPN especially on my 12c, it's so much faster than faffing about on one of those natural display type calculators.

  19. Re:So? on Google Groups Used To Control Botnets · · Score: 1

    We can destroy a botnet by shutting down google.
