  1. Re:I dont think it was kids. on Vandalism In Arizona Shuts Down Internet and Phone Service · · Score: 2

    RTFA. Pipe was exposed where it crossed a dessert wash. And only a quarter mile from a residential area. Please, put the tinfoil back in the box, and try again.

    What sort of dessert was it? I like chocolate wash personally.

  2. Re:I got a butt chewing for giving my daughter hon on Study: Peanut Consumption In Infancy Helps Prevent Peanut Allergy · · Score: 1

    This is the reason all honey containers have a warning printed on them, saying "Don't Feed to Kids Under 1 Year Old." I guess pecosdave didn't read the label.

  3. What can we do? on How NSA Spies Stole the Keys To the Encryption Castle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Aside from the feckless fist-shaking at the air, what can the average person really do? Public-key encryption? That gets mentioned every time, and the general consensus is that it's too much work for the average person. Is there any other action that can be taken, or are people just too lazy to care anymore? Maybe there should be more purposeful acts to disrupt the lives of average citizens, to shake them out of their stupor. Wake people up. Perhaps those in power have realized that keeping the populace happy & sedated allows them to do whatever they want. Maybe a full belly and a scratch behind the ears is all we need to become pets to the people running the world now.

  4. Fast Lane = Not Faster on AT&T Patents System To "Fast-Lane" File-Sharing Traffic · · Score: 2

    We all know AT&T is not actually trying to make P2P faster. They are really trying to:

    1. Treat P2P traffic differently - probably slow it down or render it useless somehow.
    2. Trick people into thinking this would be better than Net Neutrality.
    3. Stick it to customers some other evil way.

  5. HijackOff on New Android Trojan Fakes Device Shut Down, Spies On Users · · Score: 1

    should've been the name they gave it.

  6. Fallout New Vegas toy on 1950s Toy That Included Actual Uranium Ore Goes On Display At Museum · · Score: 1

    Reading about this reminded me of the rocket souvenir from Fallout New Vegas.

  7. Re:If you don't authorize it, it can't divulge inf on Ask Slashdot: Affordable Large HD/UHD/4K "Stupid" Screens? · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male- on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 2

    Maybe they are a matriarchy instead of a patriarchy.

  10. Re:Correlation and causation on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do we argue because we're on slashdot or is that just a correlation?

  14. Re:What?! on Disney Turned Down George Lucas's Star Wars Scripts · · Score: 1

    I think you meant, "Do Not Want!!"

  15. Re:It's about time. on Simon Pegg On Board To Co-Write Next Star Trek Film · · Score: 1

    Maybe they take the new prequel series (JJ Abrams version of the original series) to its logical conclusion, where Starfleet becomes unsustainably corrupt, forcing a revolution and the emergence of the idealistic Starfleet of the next generation series.

  16. Re:Well first, it has to be unnoticeable. on What Will Google Glass 2.0 Need To Actually Succeed? · · Score: 1

    If Google Glass can get you or other users dates, then I think you have a winner product.

  21. Re:Saw a movie about this involving a train on Harvard Scientists Say It's Time To Start Thinking About Engineering the Climate · · Score: 2

    No, we really don't want to watch that awful movie (I've seen it).

  22. Re:How about we beta test on Venus? on Harvard Scientists Say It's Time To Start Thinking About Engineering the Climate · · Score: 1

    and if it fails? Generally, the term "win-win" is used to cover both success and failure cases, not just a double-dose of win for success.

    Instead of "think of the children" perhaps the new bleeding heart slogan should be "think of the vaginas!"

    Plus by the time the ship arrives at its destination, the good astronauts will be separated from the bad ones.
