  1. Memes on QR Codes As Anti-Forgery On Currency Could Infect Banks · · Score: 1

    Now we can use a background with this site's name in it for "you, sir, are a moron" images.

  2. Re:do they really care about their own ToS? on Activision Blizzard Secretly Watermarking World of Warcraft Users · · Score: 1

    For future reference, the phrase usually involves a pot, not a pet.

  3. Re:Remove the bugs on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Fix the Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Plan 9.

  4. Re:You have to give it to the engineers on 35 Years Later, Voyager 1 Is Heading For the Stars · · Score: 1

    What do Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, IBM, Target, and Walmart have to do with this discussion? Are you getting defensive because you're one of the contract buddies?

  5. Re:You have to give it to the engineers on 35 Years Later, Voyager 1 Is Heading For the Stars · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's why NASA gets stuff that works, and the military gets stuff that lets the contractors line their Olympic-sized pools with money.

  6. Re:Would you like to win the lottery 50% of the ti on Solid State Quantum Computer Finds 15=3x5 — 48% of the Time · · Score: 1

    There are only 379,501,200 (54!5) combinations in Texas. With a few hundred thousand dollars spent on unique combinations, your probability of winning is rather higher than 0.0001%. Your problem there is going to be finding the people and time to get all those dots filled in.

  7. Re:Please consider Mitt Romney on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Mitt will return our economy to its former vim

    Mittens is too dumb to understand vim. Even nano with full screen-wasting help bars would probably be too confusing for him.

  8. Re:Was it really necessary... on IBM Claims Spintronics Memory Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Be careful with that. You don't want Q to start introducing chaos...

  9. Re:Was it really necessary... on IBM Claims Spintronics Memory Breakthrough · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't see any cone intersections in his text. Perhaps you meant ellipsis...

  10. E-Ink on How Will Amazon, Barnes & Noble Survive the iPad Mini? · · Score: 0, Troll

    They'll survive because nobody with two brain cells to rub together enjoys reading on a backlit and always-refreshing screen.

  11. Re:ClockworkdMod on Custom Android ROM Developers Get OTA Update Capabilities Like Carriers · · Score: 1

    Except that ROM Manager can't actually flash the ROM, and it sucks ass.

  12. Re:Way more than the USS Enterprise produces in TN on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. Mega is million. Giga is billion. Tera is trillion. 500 trillion is in fact 500 TW.

  13. Re:Could there be... on Valve Continues Recruiting Top Linux Talent · · Score: 1

    1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D - Look near the end of the "Current Status" section.
    2. Ever heard of Unreal Tournament 2004? How about a little company called Id Software? Perhaps you've heard of some games that are offered on both XBox and PS3?

  14. Re:What the Hell??? on Verizon Wireless Goes Ahead With 'Bucket' Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Wrong. It now becomes $90 per month, according to TFA, because you have to pay an extra $30 to add the scond phone.

  16. Re:Almost, Apple... on Wozniak's Original System Description of the Apple ][ · · Score: 0

    Oh, really? Apple wants $2500 for a 15" MacBook Pro with a 1680x1050 screen and 4GB RAM and a "2.4GHz CPU". They don't specify what actual model that is, and I'm not going to bother to look it up elsewhere. If somebody wants me to buy from them, not only do they have to have decent prices, but they need to actually define what I'm buying. I paid less than $1300 for a 15" laptop with a i7 2760 for the extra virtualization features, 1920x1080 screen, 8GB RAM, Blu-Ray drive, DisplayPort, powered eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port, USB 3.0 ports, Intel 6250 wireless+bluetooth, etc. Tell me again how they're not less expensive at equal or even greater component value?

  17. Re:Translation on EA To Provide Free Distribution To Kickstarter Games · · Score: 1

    Whoosh.

  18. Re:And no mention of their American Cousins? on Scientists Solve Mystery of Ireland's Moving Boulders · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that it gets very cold in places without water, and gets very wet in places where it doesn't get very cold. So, what exactly is the purpose of your first statement?

  19. Re:Package management? on Firefox 12 Released — Introduces Silent, Chrome-like Updater · · Score: 1

  21. No thanks. on GreenSQL is a Database Security Solution, says CTO David Maman (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'll just sanitize my SQL inside my application, rather than purchasing some totally unneeded shit solution looking for a problem.

    An Apple-loving denialist. Who would have thought?

  23. Re:Great timing on Linux 3.3 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ksplice is just a commercial tool that makes use of kexec which has been in the kennel for years. There is absolutely no need for Ksplice yo use kexec.

  24. Which dictionary? on Multiword Passwords Secure Or Not? · · Score: 1

    If a site is designed by a moron and allows enough repeated failures for an attack to succeed, it doesn't matter what your password is.

    If a user is a moron and is too stupid to pick a phrase that isn't nonsense or make their complex random password longer than 8 characters...

    Morons will be morons. The problem isn't the password. The problem is the lack of punishment for being a moron, and society's cowardice and lack of long-term thinking in refusing to tell people that they are, in fact, morons.

    You make your pedigree stand out quite well with that statement. Moron.
