  1. Re:lol on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 0

    ProTip: mine's in yur mom, CanHasDick! Wait, this isn't Battlefield chat, sorry.

  2. Re:lol on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 0

    "Freetards"! Thank you, now I know what to call them!

    Wish I could mod you up, but I don't have the points so maybe I can siphon up some of the negative bangs.

  3. Flaw? on Google Chrome Flaw Sets Your PC's Mic Live · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yeah right.

  4. Re:Yep on Theo De Raadt's Small Rant On OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    The code snippet you see in the summary is the same kind of thing you see in libraries all over the internet in all kinds of projects. Programmers simply don't consistently follow safe memory management conventions yet will chest-thump over how beneath them managed languages are. Poor documentation also accompanies the same "just get it working" culture.

  5. Hmm.... on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 1

    Editor posts story from anonymous troll regurgitating punditry talking points (that were refuted last week BTW) and it headlines on Slashdot. Stats only lie if you misrepresent the context:

  6. Re:between 23 and 70 uncontacted tribes on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 2

    "There are known knowns..."

  7. Re:BASIC is where M$ got its start on Born To RUN: Dartmouth Throwing BASIC a 50th B-Day Party · · Score: 2

    I assumed that it was a reference to their relentless pursuit of cash at all costs (including quality).

  8. Re:So? on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's called arcadia. It's this myth that's been around since ancient Rome that life would be so much simple if wealthy urbanites could simply retire to the country for vacations to recharge. The truly delusional quit their jobs and buy farms thinking their lives will then be stress free.

  9. Transparent bonnets on Land Rover Demos "Transparent Hood" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sounds like Amish porn

  10. Re:Earth meteorites on Mars? on Rover Curiosity Discovers Australia-Shaped Rock On Mars · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a layman, I'd say less likely? Mars is closer to the Asteroid belt and Jupiter's orbit where space rocks might be wobbled into Mars' path. Second, Earth has more gravity and and atmosphere making it harder for objects to escape. Third, the Sun is on the "opposite" side so the most influencial object in the solar system is going to tug rocks flung from Earth in the wrong direction.

  11. Was this a PR statement or major breakthrough? on Samsung Claims Breakthrough In Graphene Chip Design · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That seems like an odd announcement to make...if it's just one more step in the research process and this doesn't make graphene a viable replacement *yet*...

  12. Sounds like a fair trade to me on Evidence Aside, FBI Says Russians Out To Steal Ideas From US Tech Firms · · Score: 1

    Industrial secrets for sex with hot Russian spies. Where do I sign up?

  13. We need another cold war on European Court of Justice Strikes Down Data Retention Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those European communists appear to be stealing our freedom.

  14. Re:Yes, but you *can* tell the difference if... on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 1

    Damn! *stands and claps*

  15. Re:You need more than a battery to store grid ener on Tesla: A Carmaker Or Grid-Storage Company? · · Score: 1

    Easy solution, pump your car up onto the roof.

  16. Re:So if they (GM/whomever) wanted to buy the comp on Tesla: A Carmaker Or Grid-Storage Company? · · Score: 2

    That's all fantastic in your zero mass-zero friction theoretical land, but if you can't get financing based on not having enough value in your company that's the same thing as a stock price being too high. Otherwise, I'd be able to form a company tonight and buy Microsoft.

  17. Re:Alternatives on Dyn.com Ends Free Dynamic DNS · · Score: 1

    Not sure what ISP you're using, but I haven't had one in the past 5 years or so that recycled my IP. Even over long down times (up to a day or two as I recall), the IP I was reissued was still the same.

  18. What's been the hold up???? on NASA Laying Foundation For Jupiter Moon Space Mission · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Probably the best chance of finding LIFE in the solar system and NASA is still tipping over rocks on Mars.

  19. Re:MIT debating a computer science requirement on Should Microsoft Give Kids Programmable Versions of Office? · · Score: 1

    OK, unless there's some "computers for dummies" class on the curriculum, I see no point to this. I see a lot of people frustrated with computers and unless you're going to hand feed them very practical information (backups, virus protection, safe browsing, etc.) you're just going to turn them off even more.

  20. Re:Training instead of H-1Bs on Should Microsoft Give Kids Programmable Versions of Office? · · Score: 1

    Genius! That would be a great way to prove what H1-Bs are *really* about.

  21. Tin foil hat on on Skydiver's Helmet Cam Captures a Falling Meteor · · Score: 1

    The 2nd of a storm of asteroids being sent by aliens to exterminate life on earth. The first hit flight MH370. Wait, make that an adamanium/vibranium hat.

  22. Re:Two years? on Skydiver's Helmet Cam Captures a Falling Meteor · · Score: 1

    So, that was Meow Meow whizzing past him?

  23. Re:tl;dr on Algorithm Challenge: Burning Man Vehicle Exodus · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, it's definitely changed. Burning Man isn't my bag, but I have an artsy crowd of friends into that sort of thing and the change from just 15 years ago (when I first heard of it) is profound.

  24. Re:tl;dr on Algorithm Challenge: Burning Man Vehicle Exodus · · Score: 2

    I think it was a cool idea that got hit by gentrification. Once the profiteers take over and law enforcement starts camping out, it's over. Now mentioning it is like a hipster street cred cliche.

  25. Re:correlation does not prove causation on Study: Exposure To Morning Sunlight Helps Managing Weight · · Score: 1

    ...says the guy too lazy to read the summary.
