  1. Re:Why would a non-sports person have cable? on ESPN Sues Verizon To Stop New Sports-Free TV Bundles · · Score: 1

    If your wife watches HGTV or your kid watches Disney or Sprouts. That stuff isn't available on piratebay.

  2. Re:well then it's a bad contract on ESPN Sues Verizon To Stop New Sports-Free TV Bundles · · Score: 1

    How many legal dramas do you watch?

    None, because he dropped his subscription to cable.

  3. Re:VanillaJS Framework on JavaScript Devs: Is It Still Worth Learning jQuery? · · Score: 1

    Sure all the points made by Vanilla-JS are valid, but using the more convenient syntax than a library provides is ridiculous.

  4. Re:Autism on Bill To Require Vaccination of Children Advances In California · · Score: 1

    I should've included the sarcasm tag.

  5. Re:She's not all bad... on Yahoo Called Its Layoffs a "Remix." Don't Do That. · · Score: 1

    Wow, I thought you were joking, but she actually did that!

  6. Re:To the parents... on Bill To Require Vaccination of Children Advances In California · · Score: 1

    Maybe his ass developed retardation from forced vaccinations!

  7. Autism on Bill To Require Vaccination of Children Advances In California · · Score: 0

    Will the state pay for treatment of my children if they develop autism from the forced vaccinations?

  8. Re:So worried about Orwell we forgot about Huxley. on Chinese Scientists Claim To Have Genetically Modified Human Embryos · · Score: 2

    That sounds pneumatic!

  9. Re:Cautionary Tale? on Chinese Scientists Claim To Have Genetically Modified Human Embryos · · Score: 1

    From the article, "The researchers say that their results reveal serious obstacles to using the method in medical applications." I assume that is what they meant by "cautionary tale" in the next sentence.

  10. Re:Oculus Gaping Wide Gash on Sharp Announces 4K Smartphone Display · · Score: 1

    Is that a Rule 34 thing?

  11. Re:This is so sad. on Report: Apple Watch Preorders Almost 1 Million On First Day In the US · · Score: 1

    The Cicret bracelet is a much cooler gadget to play with than the iWatch.

  12. Re: The government can see my junk?!?!? on Snowden Demystified: Can the Government See My Junk? · · Score: 1

    Someone is getting laid with that clever response!

  13. Naked Statue on Smartphone-Enabled Replicators Are 3-5 Years Away, Caltech Professor Says · · Score: 1

    Either you could 3D print a statue of your hot naked girlfriend, or you could take micron-level measurements of her body parts.

  14. Imager only on Tiny LIDAR Chip Could Add Cheap 3D Sensing to Cellphones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    This is the imager only, the sensor, not the part that sends out the lasers. You still need laser emitters to use with the sensor.

  15. Slashdot Alternative on Scientists Discover Meaning of Life Through Massive Computing Project · · Score: 1

    Anyone know of a slashdot alternative site? This site is getting really annoying to read, to the point I'm wondering why bother.

  16. Drop Your Customers on UK IP Chief Wants ISPs To Police Piracy Proactively · · Score: 1

    What business would ever actively drop their own paying customers? Makes no sense.

  17. Re: Good! on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with being sexy?

  18. Re: fathers on Scientists: It's Time To Resolve the Ethics of Editing Human Genome · · Score: 1

    It is the realization of the movie Gattica.

  19. Re:Because This Worked Out So Well for the 3DS/Wii on Google, Developers Demo Impressive Gaming and VR Apps For Project Tango Tablet · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Tango is way more than a gyro control for a 3D game - we've had that technology for years already. Real-time mapping of 3D geometry is amazing technology; stuff that has a huge number of uses, the least of which would be gyro-controlled 3D gaming. Kinda surprised they made such little use of the technology in the demo. The mapping part of the video at the beginning was by far the most interesting part.

  20. Re:IBM should put SCO out of misery on Not Quite Dead: SCO Linux Suit Against IBM Stirs In Utah · · Score: 1

    There are probably only a handful of employees left, trying hard to get that big payout. With few employees left at the company, fewer people to split the winnings with (not that they would have anyway). No way are they going to settle for scraps when they've held out this long!

    Big money, no whammies, STOP!

  21. Re:Yellow Alert on Most Powerful Geomagnetic Storm of Solar Cycle 24 Is Happening · · Score: 1

    Bah, now I'm awake!

  22. Re:Yellow Alert on Most Powerful Geomagnetic Storm of Solar Cycle 24 Is Happening · · Score: 1

    Wake me when it's brown alert.

  23. Moon Graffiti on Billionaire Teams Up With NASA To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    When are we going to see CHA enscribed on the moon's surface?

  24. Re:In which way is it "bigger?" on The Milky Way May Be 50 Percent Bigger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    50% more nougat

  25. Re:Bad idea on Snowden Reportedly In Talks To Return To US To Face Trial · · Score: 1

    and probably get tasered and/or clubbed by a law-abiding police thug.
