  1. LED invisibility suit on Should We Be Afraid of Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    A few super-bright infrared LEDs scattered about a person and suddenly said person looks like a walking supernova to CCD cameras... like so: http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/2/_IR_LED_Blocks_Security_Camera.jpg

  2. Re:As opposed to actual Model Ms which are still m on Cherry's New Keyboard Switches Emulate IBM Model M Feel · · Score: 1

    I actually have a broken one--it fell off of my desk and whacked into a leg of my chair, and after that a cluster of keys stopped working.

    That's ok though, I just went and got another one out of my hoard, and will get around to opening up that fallen one some day... I have several more spares so that should be a lifetime supply, even if I live for a very long time.

    Typed on a model M, 1992-07-31.

  3. Re:100 Gbit? on Rock Band Live's Second Act: Networks and Data Centers · · Score: 1

    The current speed of the equipment at each end is fairly meaningless; the big expense is actually laying the fiber in the first place. Optical equpiment keeps getting more speed out of the same ol' single mode fiber. It won't be just one fiber either, it will be a whole bunch, so really it can be "100GBit * some # of fibers" from the get-go.

    Live's first album "Mental Jewelry" is worth listening to if you've never heard it. Much less meaningless-pseudo-hard-rock than you might expect if you've just heard them on the radio or whatnot.

  4. No on Future Fighters Won't Need Ejection Seats · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People in the military need to be injured or killed in war, to remind everyone that it is fucking terrible and that no one should *want* to do it.

  5. don't reject based solely on SPF on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Handle SPF For Spam Filtering? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or anything else, for that matter--mark it as "spf failed" and score it as you feel appropriate for your filtering setup.

  6. In a word... on Can Fotobar Make Polaroid Relevant Again? · · Score: 1

    No.

  7. Re:No work==good on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 1

    I was with you 'til the end but... oh my god, they're here already! NOOOOOOO!

  8. Global Thermonuclear Patent War on Samsung Claims iPad Mini, iPad 4, New iPod Touch Also Infringe Patents · · Score: 5, Funny

    A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

  9. Re:The Y2K bug was REAL on NTP Glitch Reverts Clocks Back To 2000 · · Score: 1

    I never had my own internal Y2K bug fixed. I keep writing "19112" on paperwork.

  10. this reminds me of something on Google Glass Could Be the Virtual Dieting Pill of the Future · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know, an animated gif is a low-brow post, but this is how I see trying to eat food that's something like an optical illusion... I can't help that it's best described visually... so here:

  11. Re:Do RTFA on Woz Worries Microsoft Is Now More Innovative Than Apple · · Score: 4, Funny

    Crazy in the most fabulous of ways, parent surely means.

    Also many occasions if you say his name three times, he shows up in threads... you know, if he's not too busy dancing or playing tetris or receiving awards or inventing something...

    Woz...
    Woz...
    Woz...

  12. Well, so much for my invention... on NYC Taxi Commission Nixes Cab-Hailing Apps · · Score: 1

    No electronic communication devices? I thought my new invention, the Electric Middle Finger (or EMF for short), would be a big hit with the cabbies, but now I guess I'm screwed! Flickoff Industries is RUINED!

  13. I'm glad I have craptastic vision on 4K UHDTV Hardware On Display in Berlin, And On Sale In Korea · · Score: 1

    It makes the whole "new higher resolution every couple of years" thing easy to ignore. My TV is a 27" hunk of glass made in 1997.

  14. what about themselves? on Google To Start Punishing Pirate Sites In Search Results · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So no more YouTube search results in Google, then?

  15. Re:Philip Jose Farmer, on Ask Slashdot: Most Underappreciated Sci-Fi Writer? · · Score: 1

    It's too bad that only SciFi or whatever they're called now has wanted to turn it into tv... so badly they they've tried twice!

  16. look at the source on Content-Centric Networking & the Next Internet · · Score: 1

    If this had come out of almost anyone else's mouth, I'd be the first to say they were full of it.

    But... Van Jacobson!

  17. that's a relief on MS-DOS Not Stolen, New Forensic Analysis Concludes · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Whew!" said Mr. Kildall, from the grave. "I'm glad this slanderous attack on my programming skills has come to an end, and I have finally been exonerated."

  18. what's that... thing? on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    What goes shooting through the frame @ ~39 seconds into the video?

  19. Re:C lives! on Objective-C Overtakes C++, But C Is Number One · · Score: 1

    He's going to be late... as in the late Dennis Ritchie.

  20. you lie! on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce Someone To Star Trek? · · Score: 4, Funny

    >"I have a few friends, plus my girlfriend"

    Oh, c'mon... I stopped believing you right there.

  21. Re:You don't need linux on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise-Grade Linux Networking Hardware? · · Score: 1

    Stand somewhat uncorrected!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX-OS

  22. Re:There's no starship with just an ion drive on Engineer Thinks We Could Build a Real Starship Enterprise In 20 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    That would have been funnier if I had actually bothered to login first...

  23. sorry that you got hit by that autonomous car... on Autonomous Vehicles and the Law · · Score: 4, Funny

    But they're magically exempt from liability so fuck you!

  24. crime on the moon? on NASA Sues Apollo Astronaut To Return Moon Camera · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since the camera was meant to be left there, this alleged crime would have occurred on the moon. Does this mean that the US federal government has jurisdiction on the moon?

  25. Summary on News From Apple's iPhone Event · · Score: -1, Troll

    There is a new iThing and it's iAwesome!

    The screen has more Jobsels per inch then anything ever before.
    It can pick out your clothes for any event a week in advance, even before you know what you're doing.
    You are practically guaranteed a raise when you buy one.
    It listens to music that hipsters don't even know about yet.
    The inbuilt towel rack will save the average person 2.7 years of wasted time looking for towels.
    Boogie-woogie wop-wop dance pants yeahyeahyeah!

    You'll never be without that cool feeling of having bought the latest iThing for at least a fortnight.
