  1. Xiaocai X6 1.77-inch Waterproof Outdoor Mobile on Ask Slashdot: Best Big Battery Phone? · · Score: 1

    6 weeks battery life, however its only a G2 bar phone.

  2. Don jack into black ice mon, fry yo brain...

  3. Cycle of life on How Developers Can Fight Creeping Mediocrity · · Score: 1

    All things are born, grow up, grow old and die, corporate citizens are not excluded from entropy. I guess you need to decide if you are a cell in the parent organism, destined to stay the course until the end. Or you're a bacteria destined to spread yourself and your progeny around to ensure your genome survives. Or your a virus destined to steal all the useful DNA and jump to a new host, whilst ensuring the ultimate demise of the old one. Or you could just go with the one that hires the youngest secretaries with the biggest tits.

  4. You mean run out on G7 Vows To Phase Out Fossil Fuels By 2100 · · Score: 2

    It's easy, we'll run out long before then.

  5. The Rift is Real on Hubble Spots Star Explosion Astronomers Can't Explain · · Score: 1

    Time to plan for endless Christmas.

  6. Why we use office on UK Forces Microsoft To Adopt Open Document Standards · · Score: 1

    Put simply, its still the best thing going, FOSS Office is great for basic tasks, the best solution I have found is to use both, task dependent, being able to span ODF documents across platforms would be great. The availability of FOSS Office on a ram stick is its greatest feature, one that Microsoft has never attempted to emulate.

  7. Oh God I'm So Depressed on Do Robots Need Behavioral 'Laws' For Interacting With Other Robots? · · Score: 1

    Marvin, after a fight with an autonomous road roller.

  8. Engineered Obsolescence on Do Robots Need Behavioral 'Laws' For Interacting With Other Robots? · · Score: 1

    Must Crush......

  9. The Password on Chevy Malibu 'Teen Driver' Tech Will Snitch If You Speed · · Score: 1, Funny

    The password to disable teen driver mode is: CHEVY all uppercase, and the disable code is 12345 :-)

  10. Amazon Launches One-Year Delivery Service To Aus on Amazon Launches One-Hour Delivery Service In Baltimore and Miami · · Score: 1

    Amazon Launches One-Year Delivery Service To Australia Wow, now thats an improvement..

  11. Rules for aircraft are much stricter on A Production-Ready Flying Car Is Coming This Month · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You can drive with a bent fender, but if you bend an aircraft it is instantly grounded until repaired, this may entail x-raying the superstructure etc. So a small bingle in a flying car means it instantly becomes just a car until repaired and approved for flight. Personally I cant see flying cars becoming a reality any time soon.

  12. AIDS V2.0 on Obama Presses Leaders To Speed Ebola Response · · Score: 1

    Its AIDS all over again. Lets just sit back and watch it spread because its just Africans, then panic when it pops up in San Francisco.

  13. Rawshark - Dump and analyze raw libpcap data on Hacker Disrupts New Zealand Election Campaign · · Score: 1

    Rawshark reads a stream of packets from a file or pipe, and prints a line describing its output, followed by a set of matching fields for each packet on stdout. https://www.wireshark.org/docs...

  14. My right hand on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 2

    In an age of sex bots and realistic toys I just can't see to relax my grip.

  15. Re:Viaduct?? on Fixing a 7,000-Ton Drill · · Score: 0

    Nah, killing an anonymous coward would be much more fun.

  16. Re:Viaduct?? on Fixing a 7,000-Ton Drill · · Score: 1

    Yes a car tunnel to be precise.

  17. Huh? on Fixing a 7,000-Ton Drill · · Score: 1

    Steel pipe or drill rod?

  18. Mad Magazine on Ask Slashdot: What Good Print Media Is Left? · · Score: 2

    A little crazy is a good thing.

  19. Bladerunner - Philip K Dick

  20. It's Such a Beautiful Day on Ask Slashdot: What Essays and Short Stories Should Be In a Course On Futurism? · · Score: 1

    It's Such a Beautiful Day - James Blish

  21. The Father Thing on Ask Slashdot: What Essays and Short Stories Should Be In a Course On Futurism? · · Score: 1

    The Father Thing - Philip K Dick

  22. .Plumbing WTF on First New Generic Top Level Domains Opening · · Score: 1

    How come the plumbers got a guernsey and all the other trades missed out, sure smells funny to me.

  23. The odds of success are zero on Accenture Faces Mid-March Healthcare.gov Deadline Or 'Disaster' · · Score: 1

    Unless the US Government threatens to bankrupt them via liquidated damages its unlikely the healthcare system will ever work properly. A sentence of death concentrates the mind wonderfully.

  24. Looks like a scam on Revolutionary Scuba Mask Creates Breathable Oxygen Underwater On Its Own · · Score: 3, Funny

    Two miniature gas tanks a regulator and a vibrating device would simulate a working third generation underwater breather and would fool a few speculators into handing over the money.

  25. Windows 8 has bombed for business users. on Apple Devices To Reach Parity With Windows PCs In 2014 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Loads of reviews have been written about Windows 8. Some loved it. Some hated it. But they all say the same thing: Windows 8 will require a major retraining for Windows users and there doesn't seem to be some great big advantage for all the relearning, particularly for business users. If Windows 9 retains the Metro interface then Microsoft really is doomed.
