  1. Re:So . . . on Leave Your Cellphone At Home, Says Jacob Appelbaum · · Score: 2

    We're all threats to someone.

  2. shhh on Most Torrent Downloaders Are Monitored, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    *cough*hfrarg*cough*

  3. Oh, the irony on Microsoft's Sneak Attack On Apple: SkyDrive, Not Surface · · Score: 1

    Apple's new internal motto: Mac OS X isn't done until SkyDrive won't run.

  4. Re:"I like turtles" on New Face Paint Protects Soldiers Against Bomb Blasts · · Score: 1

    Of course, these days Slashdot manages to post links to articles without actually reading the article themselves, somehow...

    These days? Your UID is sufficiently low to know this is not a new phenomenon.

  5. How about this new gTLD? on Saudi Arabia Objects To Proposed .gay gTLD, Among Others · · Score: 5, Funny

    .fuckyousaudiarabia

  6. To all of you going on about drone strikes on Ecuador To Grant Assange Political Asylum · · Score: 2

    As easy as it may be to pull off logistically, it's not nearly as simple politically. Which is why this dog & pony show has gone on so long. If it were as simple as a plane crash or a fuckton of missles or a drone strike, he'd already be dead.

    Of course, Ecuador can expect to be brought before some trumped up UN committee and sanctioned for this soon.

  7. Sure it will on Office To Become Fully Open XML Compliant (at Last) · · Score: 5, Funny

    It'll be fully compatible. It'll just be one big block like this:

    <![CDATA[...]]>

  8. Hot News Flash! on PlayStation Boss Defends Vita, Slams Social Gaming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Executive in entrenched industry doesn't like new disruptive technology driving industry shift!

    The thing is, he could even be right that social/casual/freemium gaming is not sustainable and not going to supplant his business model. But it's hardly news that he thinks so.

  9. What I want to know is... on Vaporizing the Earth In the Name of Science · · Score: 2

    Will their preferred method of vaporization be Death Star or lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?

  10. Hey now! on Bad Software Runs the World · · Score: 2

    That's just mean!

  11. The old adage on Bad Software Runs the World · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good, Fast, Cheap...Pick Two.

  12. Excellent news on Debian Changes Default Desktop From GNOME To XFCE · · Score: 5, Informative

    I am okay with this. I've used XFCE on most linux server boxes for years anyway (if any graphical environment at all). Way more lightweight than Gnome or KDE and works great.

  13. Nobody liked that name anyway on Microsoft Drops 'Metro' Name For Windows 8 UI · · Score: 0

    It was too metrosexual. And that went out of fashion ages ago.

  14. Re:For better or for worse... on Nokia Closing Australian Office, Looking To Sell Qt Assets · · Score: 1

    fresh outta mod points but that was funny.

  15. Re:That's not how it works on US Census Bureau Offers Public API For Data Apps · · Score: 2
  16. Riiiiight on US Census Bureau Offers Public API For Data Apps · · Score: -1

    The APIs include no information that could identify an individual.

    They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

  17. Wait...what? on Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been at this job for 10+ years so I'm sure there is tons of personal stuff stored on my machine...BTW it's a Windows 7 system if that makes a difference."

    Ummm...my math may be a bit off here but...

  18. My understanding on World's Most Powerful x86 Supercomputer Boots Up in Germany · · Score: 1

    I think it's designed to run complex calculations on how the price of tea in china is related to everything.

  19. And like every other solar announcement on UCLA Develops Transparent, Electricity-Generating, Solar Cell Windows · · Score: 0

    This breakthrough in solar power technology will be available & affordable for you in 10 years.

  20. Pink Floyd can answer both of your questions on SOPA Provisions Being Introduced Piecemeal From Lamar Smith · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Money, it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.

  21. Re:Best use on Sergey Brin Shows Project Glass Glasses to Journalists (Video) · · Score: 1

    Now? Pfft. Amateurs.

  22. Forget computing devices on New Film Renders Screen Reflection Almost Non-Existent · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about they put this shit on car windshields? I'd love to stop getting blinded by the sun's reflection bouncing off the rear glass of the car in front of me.

  23. Hype on Microsoft Announces 'Surface' Tablet · · Score: -1, Troll

    since most new Apple products have lived up to their hype.

    Really? Last time I looked the world was still far short of utopia.

  24. Box Office Records on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    New tech causes cinemas purchasing new equipment causes ticket prices increasing causes NEW BOX OFFICE RECORDS!!!

    Lower ticket sales will still generate box office records this way. It's been all down hill since Gone With the Wind.

    Fuck the MPAA.

  25. He should ask it on Hawking Is First User of "Big Brain" Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    How may entropy be reversed?
