  1. The Joke is On Everyone on Fewer People Are Dying of Cancer Than Ever Before (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    After they have cured all disease, then we can mock all the people in hospitals. Dying for no reason.

  2. Or else we will be very, very angry with you. And we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.

  3. More Time! on American Express Will Give All Parents 20 Weeks Of Paid Leave (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Now they will have more time to work on their resumes, they'll need it.

  4. Must Be The Drill Sergeants on Boot Camp Might Damage Speakers on 2016 MacBook Pro (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Must be those drill sergeants at Mac Boot Camp yelling up close and personal at the equipment. You'd get damaged also.

  5. Surveillance WITH Update! on The UK Is About to Legalize Mass Surveillance [Update] (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Now only if add the ability to update as well as surveil. (And why does my browser marked surveil as misspelled? It is perfectly fine.)

    Maybe I'll stop getting linkedin offers to "connect with "people you may know" that are dead.

  6. Re:Yes He Can on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. Same thing I heard. Accepting a pardon means Snowden has to cop a guilty plea. Maybe he has no problem with that but he has to come back to the U.S. to accept it.

  7. Bad Karma! on GoPro Recalls Karma Drone (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    (Subject line germane.)

  8. Like a Nun, Never Had It, Never Will on Telco CEO: Consumers Have 'Double Standards' Over Data Privacy (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Guess it paid off never having a Facebook account.

    Alas there is still slashdot.

  9. Should Try it in The Workplace on Study Finds That Athletes Perform Better When Reminded of Their Impending Death (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Better than motivational posters!

  10. Lex Luthor was Right on NASA Scientists Suggest We've Been Underestimating Sea Level Rise (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    By investing in beach front property in Arizona, but choosing the wrong method of deployment.

  11. Get Off Teletype? on Ask Slashdot: What Training Helps Older Programmers Most? · · Score: 1

    Especially weaning off the use of the shift key to code in numbers and the chicken plucker to edit your paper tape.

  12. "Interplanetary" on Elon Musk's Mars Colony Would Have a Horde of Mining Robots (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Title was a cheesy movie. (But funny, if you lived corporate culture.)

  13. Look at the Bright Side on Amid Major Internet Outages, Affected Websites Have Lessons To Learn (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    At least the hackers didn't bother shutting down Slashd...

  14. Tobacco Virgins! on Smoking Permanently Damages Your DNA, Study Finds (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Now they can tell if you are a tobacco virgin!

  15. And will Herr Flick ever find the painting of the Madonna with the big boobies?

  16. Still Waiting on SanDisk's 1TB SD Card Aims To Solve Your Storage Problems (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    For the Write Only model!

  17. Damn, no Pink Floyd reference? You have already been stunted.

    All of you! Fools!

    And you don't even know it.

  18. Isn't it Obvious? on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't Techies Improving The World? · · Score: 1

    Every techie who made it big is into their own little pet agenda. Even Bill Gate's foundation is mainly focused on just Education, and he's retired. So he no longer counts as a Techie, no?

  19. Used One 55 Years Ago In Kindergarfen on The World's Most Secure Home Computer Reaches Crowdfunding Goal (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Chalk and black board in a sealed room Erase when done.

  20. Space Merchants! on Can Humankind Establish a Supply Chain in Space? (arxiv.org) · · Score: 1

    I remember playing this silly DOS game for hours, moving my cargo from one star to another. (Or was it Apple ][?)

  21. No doubt the Professor has tenure, he (and his successors) will never lose their jobs even if the project is a dismal failure.

    Given the 34 year life span of construction. I'd look to see what relatives (and PLA Generals) have ties to the construction industry.

    I say go for it.

    Now if the Professor was based in North Korea, there is a different penalty for failure.

  22. Are they hiring?

  23. Did Not Meet Gov't Standards on ITT Tech Is Officially Closing (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Lack of diversity and sensitivity training courses.

  24. Re:Oh yeah? Then what are you gonna do about it? on Apple CEO Tim Cook on EU Apple Tax Case: 'Total Political Crap' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually that should be "supersede" not "supercede". Which comes from the latin, "to sit over" as in a request to "supersede my face".

  25. To Quote Patton: Every God Damn Day on Hillary Clinton Used BleachBit To Wipe Emails (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Yes I set bleachbit to run after boot when I turn it on every day.

    Not because I care about any emails. It the crazy 100MB of crap browsers leave behind from the previous day. I don't bother to shred, just want to free the space. I guess it improves performance too.

    Yes it's probably pointless when you have multi-GB of space. It is because I remember HP7920 disc drives the size of a dishwashers with 50MB disc platters.
