  1. Just look at my social networks... on The ATF Wants To Know Who Your Friends Are · · Score: 1

    I used to be friends with this guy named Tom, but I haven't talked to him since 2004.

  2. I googled titties on Google's Image Search Now Requires Explicit Queries For Explicit Results · · Score: 1

    And it gave me this in the first row of images (probably NSFW...but then again this whole thread is)

    I still received a fresh helping of titties so google isn't broken, they just want to sabotage and betray you so hard that you won't care about titties anymore.

    P.S. I know the pic is of a slashdotter. REVEAL YOURSELF!!

    P.P.S The people who are being modded insightful for whining that this is censorship ought not to be, because they aren't.

  3. Re:Nissan does something similar on OnStar Gives Volt Owners What They Want: Their Data, In the Cloud · · Score: 5, Funny

    but I don't want to void the warranty.

    Hand in your nerd card.

  4. 1B? on US Air Force Scraps ERP Project After $1 Billion Spent · · Score: 1

    If I blew a billion dollars I'd get fired.

    Just saying.

  5. Re:First-hand experience on Support Forums Reveal SCADA Infections · · Score: 1

    Holy mother of god.

  6. Not a mistake, this was expected. on Romney Campaign Accidentally Launches Transition Web Site · · Score: 5, Funny

    Romney is famous for flip-flopping. Even if someone told him he lost, he thinks he won. And he did. That's the beauty of not taking a stance and not taking NO for an answer. God bless you Romney. God bless us all. (Except the gays)

  7. Re:behavior, like constantly checking your phone? on Constant Technology Use May Hamper Kids' Ability To Learn · · Score: 1

    You're the type of idiot I snap my fingers at.

  8. Re:behavior, like constantly checking your phone? on Constant Technology Use May Hamper Kids' Ability To Learn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    while out?

    seems to be generational but my younger friends (20's) are always checking their phones, even while I'm talking to them at dinner or a social event!

    what the hell. since when was that good manners?

    since never. but few seem to care.

    I "belong" to this generation. If there isn't a pause in the conversation for them to read some inane text saying "whats up gurlll", or I'm actively talking and they pull out their windows phone (just kidding) I'll snap my fingers to get their attention. If they have the attention span of a three year old and do it again they're wasting my time and I'll leave them to their angry birds.

    If you're a dick I have no problems being a dick right back. They might not like having their faults pointed out and I don't enjoy doing it but some people deserve it every now and then.

  9. Re:Romney Kills Baby Seals on Nonpartisan Tax Report Removed After Republican Protest · · Score: 1

    - It was fairly typical for him to take a city and then kill all of the political leadership, but not punish the populous. He then would let it be known that he knew who had commanded the opposition, and that the fight was now over with their disposal.

    I know who I'd vote for in this election.

  10. durrrr on Verizon Worker Arrested For Copying Customer's Nude Pictures · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is stupid and pervy overall, but offering to show it to another CUSTOMER? Can't get much dumber than that.

  11. Not gonna happen... on 80,000lbs of Walnuts Purloined In Northern California · · Score: 1

    As the only owner of highly trained squirrels in the country I've had bad experiences working with Californian law enforcement and refuse to do business with them again.

    They can try to get some squirrel worker visas from India or the Philippines, but the paperwork is absolutely atrocious and the squirrels only speak broken english. I wish them the best though.

  12. It's a fake. on Steve Jobs' Yacht Revealed · · Score: 5, Funny

    And if you had any doubt this is Steve Jobs' yacht, there are seven 27-inch iMacs in the wheelhouse.

    Why yes I do. I doubt any egocentric billionaire could afford one of those $1800 27-inch iMacs, much less seven of them. Good lord, such opulence!

  13. Re:A trade war with whom? on China Telco Replaces Cisco Devices Over Security Concerns · · Score: 1

    You've already convinced the southern states we need to bomb Mexico, no need to involve China in all this. Lets pick fights we can win.

  14. Re:What if they are right? on Physicists Devise Test For Whether the Universe Is a Simulation · · Score: 1

    Which is why we need this test, to see if we even understand if we understand what we think we understand... or to see if the universe is a car.

    In other words, car metaphor joke goes *whoosh*

  15. Re:What if they are right? on Physicists Devise Test For Whether the Universe Is a Simulation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can we just check to see if the virtual machine drivers are already installed in this universe?

    I find that having a good understanding of computers and technology really helps when trying to understanding the universe. There's a lot of comparisons to be made and metaphors to facilitate understanding.

    For instance, say the universe was was a car...

  16. Re:Face recognition on Google Puts Souped-Up Neural Networks To Work · · Score: 1

    See computer. See computer behave like crazy needy woman. See computer run Johns life.

    Run John, run.

  17. Re:Have a friend with a paralyzed arm on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    Careful with the Naga, it's been my experience that a few games will detect it as a cheating device (for the macros or whatever it provides) and ban you. It's been a while since I've gamed with one, but if I remember correctly it was PunkBuster giving me grief.

  18. I broke my wrist a week before summer vacation... on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    ...in fourth grade. I couldn't really use my right hand much due to the obtrusiveness of the cast, so I didn't.

    Using only my left hand with either a standard or a turbo SNES controller I beat Super Metroid in about 9 hours (Yes that's somewhat of a long time, but it was my first playthrough)

    I'm STILL proud of that today. I think you need to look at what areas you can simplify the use of the controller, and perhaps change up a few games if your arm isn't usable.

  19. What are you doing later? on Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Call me when you're 18.

  20. Curious. on Feds Add 9 Felony Charges Against Swartz For JSTOR Hack · · Score: 2

    I admit I'm not familiar with the case and didn't read more than the summary, but even in an instance where someone breaks into someone else's network shouldn't it still be considered copyright infringement and not stealing when the original owner isn't being deprived of something?
    Forgive my ignorance.

  21. Re:Why not? on Microsoft Patents Whacking Your Phone To Silence It · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Almost a full four minutes later and I regret posting this. Or at least not wording it better.

  22. Why not? on Microsoft Patents Whacking Your Phone To Silence It · · Score: 1

    It works for my libido.

    ...but can they really patent that?

  23. I like this kind of progress. on Two Teams Win the BotPrize · · Score: 1

    While it may lack in variety, I often prefer to spend what little time I do have to play games in skirmish offline or against bots. I find that better than dealing with most of the bullshit online. Yeah I know your counterargument, if I spent more time finding good players or servers it isn't really a problem. I just don't want to. Bots don't go berserk or disconnect or lack (albeit often predictable once you've played a game enough) skills, or any of the other usual multiplayer complaints.

  24. Re:Commercial games already made it to Linux on Are Commercial Games Finally Going To Make It To Linux? · · Score: 1

    Posting a wikipedia link to a defunct company that had to declare bankruptcy isn't exactly the best way of saying "Us too!" when it comes to the viable Linux games market.

    Unless you're trying to be sarcastic.

  25. Re:CompTIA Certifications on Ask Slashdot: How To Prove IT Knowledge Without Expensive Certificates? · · Score: 1

    I just paid for two vouchers at $174 each for my work-required two part A+ test. $348 for the industry's entry level certification.

    I'm glad my work says they'll pay for it when I pass. I just with I hadn't taken a dead end detour from IT and finished it back in 2005.
