  1. Re: Only one purpose on Boston Dynamics Wildcat Can Gallop — No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    No, for rough terrain you want a mule, not a horse.

  2. carrier,, on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    No idea about open mesh or any of that crap, but I can tell you that on those western facing slopes Verizon has the best coverage. Yes, they are ass-hats to deal with, but their coverage is pretty good if you go that route.

  3. Re:First... on Seattle To Get Gigabit Fiber To the Home and Business · · Score: 1

    As I understand it, possession here of up to an ounce is now legal. So is consumption. Selling the stuff is not...quite yet. :)

  4. well... on Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Running gnome 3.2.1 I love it. I think I am the only user who does.

  6. Re:Search for spherical neodymium magnets... on Buckyballs Throws In the Towel · · Score: 1

    Clearly you think too much. We should actually ban swimming pools; do you know how many small children are killed each year by those vile beasts? I bet more than balloons and Bumbos combined!

  7. Re:whoa, that's ugly on Steve Jobs' Yacht Revealed · · Score: 1

    Looks worse than a Hunter to me,, I was on a 40 and a 54 years ago,, they did not have scary glass like this thing does. Bet whomever takes it back to the states brings a shitload of plywood just in case.

  8. saw this one a while ago.. on Stubborn Intel Graphics Bug Haunts Ubuntu 12.04 · · Score: 1

    on this pos netbook. Twas a pure unity problem,, gnome 3 rolled on just fine..

    "Starbucks and porn sites really don't give a SHIT about your poorly lit, poorly composed smartphone photo of some fat white guy standing at a grill with a beer in one hand a spatula in the other, tending to a couple burgers and hot dogs, while talking to a couple other fat white guys." WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY PHOTOS!!! HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!!

  16. How about? on Tapeheads and the Quiet Return of VHS · · Score: 1

    Remember the seemingly outrageous fines for destroying a tape? Remember getting home from the video store to find you had artifacts on the lower 2/3 of the screen? How about the video cassette rewinding machine, god knows that JVC vcr was built to last eons. don't miss it at all.. not one bit.

  17. Meh,, on Zappos Hacked: Internal Systems Breached · · Score: 2

    Other than my email, and the last 4 of my nearly maxed out credit card, that's pretty much all public record anyway.

  18. Define safe? on Ask Slashdot: Is Your Data Safe In the Cloud? · · Score: 2

    I use cloud storage for a good deal of our small business data. The question is do the people who work at the place my data is stored at do a better job than I would protecting that data? probably. Am I worried about about most of that data being obtained by a hacker? No. 70% of it is actually public record, and the other 30% is really boring financial stuff. Could someone steal my identity if they got this information? Most likely. if this happens, have fun blackhat; the IRS is after you, and so is the (local) state employment security department! (also you may have a bench warrant) have fun.

  19. Ha! on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 1

  20. I Mow lawns for a living....actually on The Mathematics of Lawn Mowing · · Score: 1

    Goats are best, Sheep eat around stubborn grasses; horses make loblollys and cows are just trouble. Six acres is stupid huge for a lawn. Let 5 of it go to field and hay the thing. For the fastest time, mow the same pattern every single time; this is bad for your lawn. You should change up the pattern once in a while.
