  1. Re:Terrible on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    You are first attacked by a flock of gays and if one of them bites you there is a 45% chance of being infected. With no known antidote upwards of 90% of all those infected turn into The Gay and attempt to turn others.

  2. Re:So... on Chinese Couple Sells Children To Support Online Game Addiction · · Score: 1

    It says in-app purchases, so I'm going with a yes on it being mobile games.

  3. No imprint? on Clueless About Card Data Hack, PF Chang's Reverts To Imprinting Devices · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of cards now with don't have the numbers imprinted on them. Am I going to have to manually write out my card information when I go there now because these incompetent people can't be bothered to hire a couple security people and fix the problem instead of making it inconvenient and no more secure for anybody. Also a credit card swipe is pretty much automatically processed, what kind of delay will be on the manual transactions?

  4. Re:So... on Solar Roadways Project Beats $1M Goal, Should Enter Production · · Score: 1

    We use the one half to serve as an example to the other half of what will happen if they don't get their shit together and stop fucking things up.

  5. Re:So... on Solar Roadways Project Beats $1M Goal, Should Enter Production · · Score: 1

    Lawyers, we have so many of them doing such damaging things to the world already. I say we enslave half of them and use them to fill out the paperwork.

  6. Re:For those of us not in the US on Lessig Launches a Super PAC To End All Super PACs · · Score: 5, Informative

    That's exactly what it is. It stands for Political Action Committee and large corporations can donate to PACs or super-PACs, allowing them to get around contribution limits, which then turn around and use that money to buy millions of dollars in advertising to destroy or help someone during election time. We aren't allowed to call it bribery because money has been ruled to be free speech but it is basically used to by corporations to buy politicians or punish those working against them.

  7. Re:Amazon just wants to see how much they can sque on Amazon Hikes Prime Membership Fee · · Score: 2

    I read an article a while back that actually looked at this in depth. They said every time amazon cut the cost of shipping for customers their sales volume went up anywhere from 10% to 20% with each cut to shipping costs for customers.
    If anyone feels like they are trying to squeeze extra money out of Prime with this $22 increase they really need to pull their head out of the hole its currently in and realize that after the 8 or 10 years Amazon Prime has been $79 its finally going up a little bit. I wish gas prices would follow the Amazon Prime model and stay the same for 8 to 10 years.

  8. Re: Hmmm... on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    If I remember right you can have CrashPlan ship you some drives and backup to them locally and ship them back. Of course that costs money but if you need to backup a lot of data and quickly, it is an option to consider.

  9. Get out the buckets on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Apple can wish in the bucket on the left and crap in the bucket on the right. The first one to fill up to the top line gets fed back to them.

  10. Re:Par for those folks... on New Jersey Auto Dealers Don't Want to Face Tesla · · Score: 1

    Sorry but that term is so antiquated, the modern term is "Pro-America"

  11. Re:Double, triple, quadruple charging on AT&T, Audi Announce In-Car 4G LTE Plans, Starting At $99 For 6 Months · · Score: 1

    I guess a smart person would find a way to just tether the car to your existing internet connected device and go from there. The rest will overpay for a useless plan so their car can get 4G on top of everything else. The operators don't want you to figure out how to do that or be able to do that since it cuts out the money for them.

    Your mind is just not properly optimized to receive the slashvertisement in this article correctly. Please step over to the tuning station to receive full mental optimization.

    They probably think it's some sort of anti-virus or computer protection program.

  14. Re:Pricey on Invention Makes Citibikes Electric · · Score: 1

    You can't carry a scooter with you into the office, you have to find a place to park it/store it. The Citibike is a rental bike you drop off when you get to your end point and you take this off and carry it with you. Yes it costs almost as much as a scooter but provides more convenience than one for a crowded city with limited parking space.

  15. Re:Write them down. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Passwords? · · Score: 1

    A list of services in a text file with no meaning or obvious connection to the passwords written down would be easy enough. Maybe split them up have the services they are used for stored somewhere and the passwords written down with no connection to the service they are used for. That way someone who takes the wallet would get a piece of paper with crap written on it and no way to know what it's for.

  16. Re:what price increases? on Time Warner Deal Is How Comcast Will Fight Cord Cutters · · Score: 1

    That population of 313m includes every man, woman, and child. Do you expect mom get her own subscription, dad get his, and one subscription for each child in the household? If you want to do that more effectively get the number of households in the country which as of 2010 was around 114,800,000. Now you're talking around 1 in every 3 households has a subscription to one of those three.

  17. Campaign Contributions on Utah Bill Would Prevent Regional Fiber Networks From Growing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    With another election year here it's time to roll out the bribe.... I mean campaign contributions to those who are willing to support the legislation being presented before them. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if most of those opposed to this had the big telcos or any PAC they setup start rolling out attack ads against them shortly.

    There is a British company named Wonga who's APR is just a tad over 5850%

  21. Re:Wine is not an emulator on Ask Slashdot: Is Linux Set To Be PC Gaming's Number Two Platform? · · Score: 1

    Yah. I haven't checked lately but I remember for a while it could be a pain in the butt to get games to work on Wine because developers didn't care about Wine support. Hopefully with Linux moving up now they could at least get the ball rolling on Wine compatibility.

  22. Aside games.. on Ask Slashdot: Is Linux Set To Be PC Gaming's Number Two Platform? · · Score: 2

    ..there isn't much holding me back from dumping Windows all together so seeing that Linux as a viable gaming platform is on the rise it shouldn't be too much longer before I can dump it all together and go full Linux. Sure Linux has Wine support but I would prefer to have native support instead.

    Perhaps we should be able to use mod points on stories so that way the political discussion pieces like this can be modded down and away.

    And in some universe they would resent that because the politicians there do their jobs
