  1. Re:The exact thing in the summary pic! on Tales From the Tech Trenches · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that's a lot less frequent than the way I'm going to be getting free SD cards working here: We got a bunch of the new iMacs with the slot-loading DVD drive right above the SD card slot on the side of the machine (so you can't see either while looking at it straight on) and this week I was able to recover both the DVD and SD card in the DVD drive of one of them, using a zip tie to prevent it from trying to pull the disk back in while it was "ejecting" (it wasn't coming all the way out). I wasn't certain there was an SD card in the drive, but after sweeping with the zip tie I noticed the point of resistance moving with it so I figured it wasn't a part of the drive, and used the zip tie to lever it out.

  2. Re:fucking apostrophes, how do they work? on 10 Dos and Don'ts To Make Sysadmins' Lives Easier · · Score: 1

    I don't know, how do fucking apostrophes work? I'm a descriptivist. I don't judge either way. I like your way better but that doesn't make you right any more than me liking communism makes Marx right.

  3. Re:really no compettition? on Is Net Neutrality Really Needed? · · Score: 1

    This is only available for users who are in Verizon territory where Verizon would supply there local telephone service if they had a land line at there residense or business.

    If only that site knew the difference between there and their. And probably they're, too. And maybe how to spell residence? All that aside, I'm sure these guys are legit. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go out to get my free candy from the Windowless Candy Van.

    Where are you finding this "public payphone" of which you speak?

    I disagree.

  6. Re:Would Someone Please Declare War... on 4chan Declares War On Snow · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would, but I am only a slacktivist.

  7. Re:Harsh Sentence on IT Worker's Revenge Lands Her In Jail · · Score: 1

    The point I think Frosty Piss was trying to make is that a bum and the President both equally want to live. Not that people value them differently.

  8. Re:He or she has cheated on One Night Stands May Be Genetic · · Score: 1

    I resent the assertion that women are humans. They are clearly Lizard People.

  9. Re:Difference between men and women. on Gentlemen Prefer Androids, Ladies iOS · · Score: 1

    That is almost exactly the attitude that leads to a robot dog rapist prowling the streets of Japan.

  10. Re:A $! verdict? on Google Loses Street View Suit, Forced To Pay $1 · · Score: 1

    You seem to be confused about the difference between publicly sharing and privately sharing things. Posting something on a real estate site and entering something into public record and then complaining that someone else took a picture of your house is a little different than what you're describing.

  11. Re:Anderson's not weird. He's you on Botnet Spammer Gets Just 18 Months For Being Odd · · Score: 1

    Remember that time we had a school in Philadelphia taking webcam pictures? Good times.

  12. Re:we have the same policy at work on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    Various phones have various types of data wiped in exchange, but if they can wipe anything remotely they say "wipe". Your users should probably check exactly what could be wiped, too.

  13. Fire. on FCC To Allow Texting To 911 · · Score: 1

    Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road... no, that's too formal. Fire - exclamation mark - fire - exclamation mark - help me - exclamation mark. 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Maurice Moss.

    That is so true. And I always forget where I left my arms, or they fall down in between the cushions.

    It's time for a phone to save us from our Kin.

  17. Re:time to start using my macbook on my lap then on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 1

    I think Macbook Pro users are well aware of the extreme temperatures their computer reaches. http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/02/02/penny-arcade-flames.html

  18. Re:Lol, no worries. on UK Pressures the US To Takedown Extremist Videos · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What community am I in? My city? My state? Slashdot? This is the internet, and we are putting things out there that can reach across the world. Same goes for "patently offensive sexual behavior", and I'm pretty sure that we're still debating the merits of video games as art despite what I consider inarguable instances of games as art. Obscenity is about as clearly defined as anything 1/0.

    Yeah, and you can only go to minibars. The upside is that the ladies wear miniskirts.
