  1. More effective measures on Google Glass Could Be the Virtual Dieting Pill of the Future · · Score: 1

    I bullshit you not, there was an actual study that proved that following around fat people and yelling at them, insulting their weight, and calling them names when they ate something unhealthy, it reduced their calorie intake significantly. So it'd be pretty easy for Google glasses to do the same thing.

  2. Re:One idea on Ask Slashdot: How Should Tech Conferences Embrace Diversity? · · Score: 2

    Have all the presenters in blackface, and then have them announce that they are embracing diversity.

    How stupid of an idea is this? Just treat everyone fairly, how hard is that?

    I agree. My company's policy is we don't give a shit. We'll hire anyone of any color from anywhere if they can do the job. Any racists can go be racist over the Miss America pageant or something but back here in reality at an actual business, we just need them to do their job and make us money. Honestly, nobody here cares about what color someone is in the last bit but we'll be on anyone's ass if they screw up at their job.

  3. There goes my idea on Tolkien Estate Sues Over Lord of the Rings Slot Machines · · Score: 4, Funny

    Damn, now I had to cancel my plans to make a LOTR craps table with "you shall not bet the pass" written on it :(

  4. wait a minute... on Syfy Reality Show Will Feature Giant Boxing Robots · · Score: 3, Funny

    But why is it being hosted by a Troll doll dressed as a douche?

  5. hold out? on Highway To Sell: AC/DC iTunes Snub Finally Over · · Score: 1

    I really don't think The Beatles' situation would be called a "hold out" lol.

  6. I have an idea! on Meg Whitman Says HP Was Defrauded By Autonomy; HP Stock Plunges · · Score: 1

    They should sue them! Oh wait, they own them. Damn, lol. My company actually did an even stupider, even more damaging acquisition in early 2011 so I can't laugh that hard but seriously, we have 4 servers and like 100 employees. When you scale up even higher, you should have the resources to look into this size of deal beforehand. I think she's just pulling ideas out of her ass so it looks like she's some big innovator and not properly reviewing them before implementing them. It's the "let's stop making desktops....aw fuck it, keep making desktops" kind of quick decisions that are going to get her ass fired.

  7. Re:Meg, Carly on Meg Whitman Says HP Was Defrauded By Autonomy; HP Stock Plunges · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't think you're going to stop women from buying things on emotion and then regretting it later when they actually look into the technical details, lol. That's been going on for centuries.

  8. Re:There's a new secure OS called... on New Linux Rootkit Emerges · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's a new secure OS called Rootkit Server 12 - maybe it's time you nerds started upgrading to it!

    This is the year of the Linux rootkit.

    Why? Linux has been around 85% of all web servers in the world for a loooooong time. You don't target the 15% windows servers to get stuff done.

  9. Re:this is a bad sign on Sharp Overwhelmed By Volunteers For Early Retirement · · Score: 0

    Maybe there's something else that isn't public knowledge yet like a free 42" TV deal as severance or even a rumor of that.

  10. Re:I really hope... on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Something like that would be more of a Mars-shaking discovery. Speaking of that, who says they're not meaning it literally? They found something on Mars that shakes the planet Earth. Like it causes earthquakes or something, lol.

  11. BIIIIIITTTTCOOOOIIINNNSSS!!! on Pirate Party MEP Helps Draft New Credit Card Company Controls · · Score: 2

    Just saying, this is THE reason they were invented. You can get money to anyone in the world in approx 10 minutes without any oversight of blocking or interception or BS like Paypal and the big CCs try to pull.

  12. Correct answer on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    The correct answer is all of them and also my mouse's custom software/driver, my GPU's drivers, my sound drivers, and the fact that I'm usually watching Netflix on monitor 2 at the same time.

  13. Re:Over private property? on Activists' Drone Shot Out of the Sky For Fourth Time · · Score: 1

    I think federal laws state you only own like 40 feet off the ground or something and then it's government property again so you may want to rethink that.

  14. Re:limkerickz on John McAfee Launches Blog, Offers $25K Reward For "Real Killers" · · Score: 3, Funny

    Also he's a drug addict. That probably rhymes with some stuff but I'm lazy, lol.

  15. asked? on Dutch Cold Case Murder Solved After 8000 People Gave Their DNA · · Score: 1

    So they "asked" people to submit their DNA instead of demanding it. Now if you were the actual perpetrator, wouldn't you say "no" instead of submitting your DNA? Yeah it'd make you look guilty but so does a 100% DNA match, lol.

  16. Re:thanks for asking on Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags · · Score: 1

    The majority of the phones in the US run Symbian.

  17. thanks for asking on Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My Samsung Character R640 running Symbian is working absolutely flawlessly and is getting battery life of approx 2 weeks. Thanks for asking about Symbian in that summary.

  18. Re:this could finally stop the debate on Valve's Big Picture Could Be a Linux Game Console · · Score: 1

    I have a PS2, lol. All ACTUAL gaming is done on my PC, thanks. Only console monkeys use consoles. That's why they're called console monkeys, rofl.

  19. this could finally stop the debate on Valve's Big Picture Could Be a Linux Game Console · · Score: 0

    I really hope they make one so that those clueless moron joystick monkeys can FINALLY be put in their place! I will load up some COD and walk up and down their ass with my mouse until they throw their controller across the room and rage quit. Mice are better than joysticks for shooters!!!! This could be the first mouse or joystick supporting console and it could end the decades long debate!

    That said, it better support mice! lol.

  20. Re:Anonymous on Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites In Response To IDF Operation In Gaza · · Score: 1

    Amen to all-o-that :-) If one of them stopped at Wikipedia for 10 seconds, they probably wouldn't be siding with Hamas.

  21. Re:I think it's a falsified information. on Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites In Response To IDF Operation In Gaza · · Score: 2

    Exactly! They're a bunch of hot-headed, murderous asshole terrorists who DO NOT want peace ever and Anonymous is siding with them? What a bunch of bullshit.

  22. Re:so what if they're minors? on Website Calls Out Authors of Racist Anti-Obama Posts · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good life's lesson before they'll face real consequences for their actions, and maybe their parents won't be able to continue to delude themselves about their childrens' behavior anymore.

    Ummm, what the fuck are you talking about? They'll learn a valuable lesson that (besides assassination threats) there's freedom of speech in America so they can say whatever they want no matter how idiotic or racist.

  23. Hurray for unions on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    I hope the union learned a valuable lesson from this but I bet they didn't. All those anti-big business morons who think they're entitled to 1 and only 1 job in their lifetime with amazing pay regardless of skill or performance better wake the hell up. Big, evil bosses can work people for 16 hours at crap pay but unions can hold a whole company ransom and then drive it straight into the ground. Power is power and it can be evil on either side of the coin. So if people ask if I'm anti-union or anti-corporations, I just say I'm actually anti-asshole on both counts.

  24. bad plan on Crooks Steal $1.5M In iPads From JFK · · Score: 1

    Too bad they hadn't considered that nobody wants to buy them. I hope they enjoy all their ipad minis, lol.

  25. basically the same thing on Artificial Muscles Pack a Mean Punch · · Score: 1

    If you eat a ton of Halloween candy and then grill out on a charcoal grill, it's basically the same thing. You'll get mega super mutant muscle strength!*
