  1. Re:Translation assistance needed! on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, people are modding this informative. I for one have been wanting to know how to say shit and motherfucker in Swedish. Now I think I know! "Skiten" is shit and "din jävel" is motherfucker. Now, can someone provide the pronunciation?

  2. Re:Thanks for the stock update on Bitcoin To Be Regulated Under US Money Laundering Laws · · Score: 2

    Yes, and not surprisingly it has changed since the article posted!

  3. Re:costco vs omega on Supreme Court Upholds First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    So did you. I wonder if it's a /. forum thing. Let me try.

  4. Re:"military websites" on China Says It Is the Target of US Hack Attacks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For the record, it would be difficult for outsiders to discern the difference between true Chinese civilian and Chinese government-owned companies.

  5. Burglar? on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder if he had auto-logon enabled and the burglar booted up his machine and is posting from his account. Maybe this is just a request from the burglar for additional shit he wants.

  6. Re:Gloves? on Book Review: To Save Everything, Click Here · · Score: 2

    Jalapenos can be hot, but it doesn't mean they're always very mild or even hot. The Scoville units can range up to 10,000, which will burn you. Instructions should always urge caution, however.

  7. What highway? on New Whale Species Unearthed In California Highway Dig · · Score: 3, Funny

    I haven't RTFA or even summary of course, but I bet those stupid mammals got ridden down on the 5 like everyone else.

  8. Space Industry Technology on Laser Intended For Mars Used To Detect "Honey Laundering" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Once again, space industry technology is applicable to everyday life right here on earth. Pay attention, you stupid assholes in government!

  9. Re:Stay low on Chinese Blogger Becomes Celebrity Exposing Corruption · · Score: 1

    Rumor said there was a bounty of 1/2 million RMB on his life.

    So, about US$35.00?

  10. Re:Frying pan or fire? on Who Should Manage the Nuclear Weapons Complex, Civilians Or Military? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Whoa, easy, this isn't about government vs. commercial (private), this is about Civilian (government) vs. Military (government, specifically the DOD). So, the mention of a corporation isn't correct.

  11. So, Clone Wars start in 60 years?

  12. Re:I just tried to do this on my Blackberrry on The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail · · Score: 1

    Can't do it on the iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1.

  13. Re:NASA link on Curiosity Rover Fires First Laser Beam At Martian Rock · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  14. Best Quote Ever on "Bomb Threat" Tweet Conviction Overturned By UK Appeals Court · · Score: 5, Funny

    "It's Twitter, remember, not the pub!"

  15. Where? on Ask Slashdot: Preempting Sexual Harassment In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Where is this? I see a lot of responses that seem to assume this is in the U.S. or another country where sexual harrassment is outlawed. Read above for many good points about this.

  16. Re:It was a test indoors, so what? on Laser Powers Lockheed Martin's Stalker Drone For 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    Leaking the test results is also what 'marketing to investors' looks like. "Hey, Vulture Capitalists Inc., we've got a shiny laser powered spy drone for you to invest in, and we have proof of some ongoing tests ... the military is interested ... you'll get rich ... give us $20 million ... please?"

    $20M is not much money at all. Instead, most likely, this data was published (I really really doubt it was "leaked" in any way, shape, or form) in preparation for a contract proposal worth hundreds of millions, if not over a billion, dollars.

  17. Re:A national hero here on Nobel Laureate Wiped From Pakistan's Textbooks As Heretic · · Score: 2

    Dr. Sheldon Cooper jumped to the top of my head.

  18. Fast prosecution on Chinese Company Sues Apple Over Siri · · Score: 2

    It was filed on Aug 13, 2004, and got approved on Feb 15, 2006.

    I think this is the real story here. From the time to file to approval is about 1.5 years. In the U.S., it's 5 to 8 years. We cannot hope to compete if these numbers are real, and, apparently, they are.

  19. Re:100 times faster than existing optical microsco on UCLA Develops World's Fastest Camera To Hunt Down Cancer In Real Time · · Score: 2

    Lens speed has nothing to do with this. This is not a normal camera. They fire laser pulses through lenses with a static aperture and the reflection from these laser pulses is what is processed to generate the image.

  20. Need a niche on Telefonica Shows Prototype Firefox OS Phone · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure it's all so doom and gloom like TFA suggests. Telefonica needs a niche, or a gimmick, and this might be the right choice. At the very least, it might be enough to make a respectable ROI before the curtain closes. And, yes, it's fledgling, and being the first on the bandwagon would work out really well if the bandwagon (metaphorically) becomes a limousine.

  21. No software patents! on Apple-Motorola Judge Questions Need For Software Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This guy, Richard Posner, is my new hero.

  22. Re:Govt. By The People, FOR The People .... on WikiLeaks Begins Release of 2.5m Syrian Emails · · Score: 1

    So thanks again, wikileaks -- because a govt. keeping secrets isn't a very accountable one.

    The problem I have is that the GOVT should still be able to keep secrets from OTHER governments. Let's assume that what you want is for the U.S. GOVT to not keep any secrets from you, theoretically a valid U.S. citizen. But, I argue that we still want to keep those secrets from other governments, including our possible and potential allies. WikiLeaks unfortunately makes no such distinctions. So, explain to me why you think that a particular sovereignty should not keep any information from other nations, whether they're friendly or not.

    The fucking hell you say!

  25. Re:Link soup on Opa 1.0 Released · · Score: 0

    The very first link is the "main" link, referencing the main gist of the post, i.e., that Opa 1.0 has been released. Everything else is explanatory and support, which is fine. The point is not to explain what Opa is, but that it was released.
