  1. Re:What about the Tea Party Movement? on Time's Person of the Year Is "The Protester" · · Score: 1

    Time probably already had a relatively strong penetration in the typical Tea Party demographic. They probably saw a large potential in the Occupy protester demographic.

  2. Never knew that.... on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    December 14th was the Finnish equivalent of April Fools day.

  3. Re:Don't forget the ones being recovered from Spac on Two Lost Doctor Who Episodes Found · · Score: 1

    Great, so now space is saying "We don't want your junk. Take it back!"

  4. Re:Next mod... on Terahertz Wireless Chip Will Bring 30Gbps Networks · · Score: 5, Funny

    This could be very handy for searching for government implanted transmitters inside your own body. I look forward to a day when we can cast aside our crudely fashioned aluminum hats

  5. Not in my previous company on Lying Is More Common When We Email · · Score: 1

    It was an extremely sales oriented company in a fairly shifty industry so, we just went with 100% lies on all communications (email/face to face/phone and customer facing or internal). Therefore, it wasn't more in this case.

  6. Re:I would buy one on Toyota To Let People Ride In Self-Driving Prius · · Score: 1

    You can actually jump further into the future if you like. Simply get drunk, take off your shirt, lay on the floor and prop your self up while trying to eat a cheeseburger.

  7. Re:duh on SCADA Hacker: Water District Used 3-Character Password · · Score: 1

    Water? Like from the toliet? Brawndo's got what plants crave.

  8. Re:Why does Mike Lynch... on Computing Pioneers Share Their First Tech Memories · · Score: 1

    A better question is why does Hermann Hauser look like an aging Fred from Scooby Doo and has Michael Dell been pumping iron or is that a cybernetic body?

  9. Business Plan on Energy Firm Wants To Be First To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    1. Cook up a crazy scheme that seems half-way plausible
    2. Get investment money from some foolish investors
    3. Play with rockets and science stuff and then revise timeline when your deadline nears.
    4. Goto 1

  10. Re:Build your own tablet? on Via Launches a New Mini-ITX System · · Score: 1

    I just attached a LCD panel to the side of my ATX case with bailing wire. I hardly even noticed the additional 12 pounds and 7 inches of thickness. Plus, the necessary extension cord can double as a belt.

  11. Re:This article is wrong. on Siri Gives Apple Two Year Advantage Over Android · · Score: 1

    In 5 years, Siri will be looked at as the 2011 version of Clippy the MS Office assistant.

  12. Mistitled on Hobby Inspired Electric Multicopter Makes Manned Flight · · Score: 1

    Maybe: Record the Location of your Death with Homemade German Suicide Machine

  13. Re:No one will buy this on 'Invisible Glass' Solves Screen Reflection Problems · · Score: 1

    Please, I upgraded to the super pro upgrade display. The LCD outer layer is covered by an outward facing mirror.

  14. Pretty common attitude... on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 1

    for those that are successful in business. Business rewards a cutthroat attitude and ability to exploit the work of others. It doesn't surprise me that was his attitude, he was one of the most successful businessman in the last 30 years.

  15. Over the top campaign promise on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    This sounds like some over the top plan a'la Ross Perot, but in reality there is no way something like this would happen. This wholesale closure would be nixed by Congress, but a moderated plan to review and reduce needless functions would make perfect sense.

  16. Re:Sounds already like Google on MC Hammer Launches a Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Sure on the surface, but when you dig deeper you discover, WireDoo has significantly more Hammer.

  17. This is Hollywood on Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing? · · Score: 0

    I predict they will ruin this more than they've ruined anything.

    Some predictions on the content of the movie (any or all of these my apply):
    Alan Turing will be played by Justin Beiber
    Alan Turing will invent the Atomic Bomb
    The movie will feature Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell and be titled Tango & Cash 2: The Alan Turing Story ...

  18. Re:Evidence Throughout the Ages of This on Marx May Have Had a Point · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? I think the parent comment was merely showing the methods that the United States has moved on the spectrum from strongly capitalist to somewhat more socialist.He wasn't condoning or recommending anything. You are certainly welcome to your opinions and feel free to speak them, but it comes off as less crazy if you do it in a structured manner.

    This is why it never pays to discuss politics or even listen to someone discuss politics.

  19. Probably shouldn't listen to ... on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    anyone with the title of CEO. That title is roughly equivalent to business politician.

  20. Re:Hey Apple! on Apple Claims Samsung and Motorola Patent Monopoly · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, in the fine tradition of the Lincoln - Douglas debates of 1858, an eloquently phrased point carries such weight that appeals to both the audience's emotion and reason. In fact, I think it was Stephen Douglas who said, "Yo Lincoln! (grabbing crotch for emphasis) Suck on this"

  21. Re:Efficient my ass on Panda Poo Yields Key To Cheaper Biofuels · · Score: 2

    Wow, forget this news story. The real news story is that there is a hardcore fundamentalist anti-panda faction in existence.

  22. Re:Why.... on Do You Want Best Buy Opening Your New Laptop? · · Score: 2

    I always go for the rust-proofing too. Those Coleco's will rust up on you.

  23. Sorry on Why People Who Make Things Should Learn Chinese · · Score: 1

    I already bought Rosetta Stone - Klingon edition to try to fit in on slashdot.

  24. Re:I found it entertaining on Review: Green Lantern · · Score: 1

    Lowered expectations are the key to happiness

  25. Re:Overly complex? on Are 'Nudging Technologies' Ethical? · · Score: 1

    That skunk's not stopping you. It's just making it a less attractive alternative to those who are able to take the stairs. So it's actually making the elevator more available to you.
