  1. Hm... on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it the government that came out and said it was A-OK to jailbreak your iphone, despite the fact that this goes against the TOS?
    Typical double standanrd government.

  2. Lol on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please, Hollywood, don't spoil Doctor Who.

    That's like asking the school bully not to beat you up and take your lunch money.
    He does it every day, he's going to do it every day, and now it's your turn.

  3. Re:...is this supposed to be some big suprise? on Fukushima Soil Contamination Probed · · Score: 1

    As is assumed, I was merely commenting that TFA mentioned a prior article that goes against these findings.

  4. ...is this supposed to be some big suprise? on Fukushima Soil Contamination Probed · · Score: 1, Informative

    The only thing that surprises me is that someone seriously came out with a study prior to this one saying the soil was A-OK after what happened.
    You'd have to be pretty dense to believe that.

  5. Bitcoin has flaws?!? on Researchers Locate Flaw In Bitcoin Protocol · · Score: 1

    Say it ain't so!
    /sarcasm

  6. Re:Opt-in on Google To Allow Location Service Opt-out · · Score: 1

    Especially organ donation.

  7. No thanks. on Scientists Develop Super-Slippery Material · · Score: 1

    "The only problem may be that the sauce may come out a little too easily on to their food.""

    I love how this is shoved at the bottom, like it's some minor problem. I highly doubt this stuff is safe to ingest, please keep it out of my containers |:

  8. I get the feeling.. on Gadget Allows You to Keep Bees In Your Apartment · · Score: 2

    ...next time we hear about this, it'll be a news story on how terribly this actually works.
    I seriously can not see this ending well.

  9. ...huh? on Firefox 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm still on 6, what happened to 7?
    I can only imagine how pissed off add-on developers are with this batshit insane update schedule.

  10. ...what? on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 1

    Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?

    That's a terrible comparison, hotels give you your own private room.
    I'd rather not be stuck in a plastic tube 30,000 feet in the air with a bunch of wankers.

  11. ...I can't see why this is a good move. on Answers.com Now Only With Facebook and Own Login · · Score: 1

    From a business point of view, especially so if they generate their funds through ads, why cut your userbase? Your ads are just going to be seen even less.

  12. Hm... on Pirate Party Invited To, Then Banned From Gaming Exhibition · · Score: 1

    they decided to book and pay for a booth

    I don't see the article mentioning a refund, I'm hoping this wasn't just a huge ploy from the start to take their money.
    Booths at these kinds of things usually aren't cheap...

  13. Re:I can't help but be curious... on Derek Deville Answers Your Questions on Rocketry · · Score: 1

    Beats me, but it's still a possibility. Perhaps to them it was just a job?

  14. I can't help but be curious... on Derek Deville Answers Your Questions on Rocketry · · Score: 2

    Where the 2 FAA guys actually interested, or were they along the lines of "Can I go home now?"

  15. Welcome to Earth on RIAA Lawyer Complains DMCA May Need Revamp · · Score: 2

    What they complain about almost as much is that after they notify a service provider of an infringing song or movie clip and they're removed, new copies appear almost immediately.

    That tends to be how things work with humans. You tell them no, and instantly people do everything in their power to do it anyway, even if they had no interest before.

  16. This got passed around my office recently. on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    This is a video poking fun at VMware, thought I'd share.

  17. You know what would bring a lot of users back? on Google Tweaks Algorithm As Concern Over Bing Grows · · Score: 1

    Turn off the damn instant search BS by default.
    I have yet to meet a single person who thinks it's a good idea.
    From the common man's eyes, it slows down and lags as you try to type
    From the eyes of nerds, it's a huge waste of bandwidth. I don't need to search s through slashdo, I just wanted to search slashdot.

  18. This just in! on Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apple sues Mother Nature for making a fruit with the same name.

  19. Re:Data please to prove that claim, Google on Google Maps To Charge For API Usage · · Score: 1

    Haha, my mistake, I misunderstood which piece he didn't believe.

  20. Re:Data please to prove that claim, Google on Google Maps To Charge For API Usage · · Score: 1

    If you look up a few comments, someone posted a link to google announcing the prices.

  21. What's next? on Google Maps To Charge For API Usage · · Score: 0

    Do I have to start paying $1 for every 100 searches I do over 1000 a month?
    Not to mention with that horribly awful instant search BS they keep pushing, I can only imagine how much crap like that would hit people's wallets.

  22. Soon as an alternative pops up, i'm gone. on Skype Goes After Reverse-Engineering · · Score: 1

    And I'm going to force all my friends who use skype to come with me.
    Ever since Skype started emulating Facebook, I've just hated it.

  23. It wasn't wrong. on Avira Anti-Virus Detects Itself · · Score: 1

    Most anti-virus programs behave like viruses themselves.

  24. Hallowe'en? on Ask Slashdot: How Are You Haunting Your House This Hallowe'en? · · Score: 2

    What the hell is up with the ' there?
    As for what I'm doing, http://www.collegehumor.com/article/6635487/halloween-then-and-now is about right.

  25. Re:I love the fanboy justification on Steve Jobs' Missing License Plate · · Score: 1

    I'll admit I've never watched more than a handful of episodes of Seinfeld. Thanks for clearing that up, though!
