  1. Re:Please place all shark jokes in this thread. on Many Lasers Become One In Lockheed Martin's 30 kW Laser Weapon · · Score: 1

    I think a recent movie was created with just that concpet in mind; "Sharknado?"

  2. Re:NOOOOOOOOO on Satya Nadella Named Microsoft CEO · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm thinking of those products created at, not purchased by, Microsoft. I'm trying to think a India's business, or cultural contrabutions to humanity in general; in the last 3,500 years. It's a perfect match; bravo board of directors of microsoft.

  3. Re:Fruit of the poison tree on DEA Presentation Shows How Agency Hides Investigative Methods From Trial Review · · Score: 1

    If evidence is collected illegally, then the evidence is considered a poisoned tree. Thus using evidence that was from this "tree" is called "poisoned fruit." That would mean that Law Enforcement Officers are "fruits?"

  4. Re:Well, Heck... No Wonder! on Environmental Report Raises Pressure On Obama To Approve Keystone Pipeline · · Score: 1

    Not carbon based, but do folks in nebraska need to drink water? Their water table will be the first to go when the XL takes a dump.

  5. Re:In otherwards on Virtual Boss Keeps Workers On a Short Leash · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have found that most Libertarians logic fails when laws are applied without conditions, and amendments.

  6. It's a Begining on Startup Out of MIT Promises Digital Afterlife — Just Hand Over Your Data · · Score: 1

    The personal history download I think will take some foundation work.

  7. Re:VirtualBox Humans on Startup Out of MIT Promises Digital Afterlife — Just Hand Over Your Data · · Score: 1

    By my math, that would take a minimum of a 4 PitaByte drive, i figure with todays RAID configuration, 3 drives would be required, 6 drives would be a safe bet. That will be in about 15 years, given current rates of progression. I guess the next part will be the Brain Map, that technology is still in Beta.

  8. Matrox Killer? on 30 Minutes Inside Valve's Prototype Virtual Reality Headset · · Score: 1

    Consider I plug in a variation of this VR unit into the VGA port, and a USB port for mouse/keyboard commands. Why do I need a Marox interface card? I turn my head left, I see stuff, I turn my right and I see different stuff; the same for up and down.

    Has anyone considered hooking up a VR unit to a self driving Toyota Prius?

  9. It's Not IE's Fault! on IE Drops To Single-Digit Market Share · · Score: 1

    The buzz kills at m$ choked what was at one time a fine browser. 20 years ago. By Win95, IE was a threat to one's sanity.

  10. Re:More reprsentative stats please on IE Drops To Single-Digit Market Share · · Score: 1

    I am finding myself utterly confussed; I am agreeing to an AC's comment. With a foot note, Insurance forms make idiots of us all.

  11. Re:Pacific, or Arizona ? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 1

    I just got this image of some duck hunter holding something that looks like a part of the down drone and in the other hand is the cheesy certificate; with a big toothy grin.

  12. Re:The web needs a good layout engine on Google Planning To Remove CSS Regions From Blink · · Score: 1

    Flow? I've been using "ul", "div", and "span" with "float"; they work in Responsive Use Cases. Regions? What am I missing here?

  13. Re:Pacific, or Arizona ? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 1

    I know it's not real, (the drone hunting license part), but do the folks around Deer Trail know it?

  14. Re:Why bother? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 1

    Down let the door hit you in the back side on way out. XD

    Administrative Note: the fence at the U.S. border is the dumbest design ever, it's not built to keep anyone in; It's kind of built to you out, in some places.

  15. Re:WTF? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 1

    "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?" S.R. Hadden

    Does anyone think that Moller has been embarssed enough lately?

  16. Re:Pacific, or Arizona ? on U.S. Border Patrol Drone Goes Down, Rest of Fleet Grounded · · Score: 1

    I wonder if that bounty in some city in Colorado would apply here?

  17. Re:Brief translation from Chinese on Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight · · Score: 1

    I hear the Chinese Space Agency Department, CSAD, is looking for the Lego's sales rep that sold them the suspension kit.

  18. Re:Brief translation from Chinese on Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight · · Score: 1

    The government signed off on the project. I don't see a problem, maybe?

  19. Re:At the time .... on How Farming Reshaped Our Genomes · · Score: 1

    The Teeth will show what this person ate, the back molars in particular.

  20. Re:It might be an unpopular opinion... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    There is no doubt that when it comes to who the good guys are, humanity looks to America. Weather it's the President, some Chinese Fat Cat, or a Mula that should have switched to DeCaf years ago. The U.S. sets the bar, and the NSA does not meet minimum specification; I know what funny is, and I'm not smiling.

  21. Re:It'll work if you want to suceed on The "Triple Package" Explains Why Some Cultural Groups Are More Successful · · Score: 1

    There appears to be little sympathy by Africans for the plight of the African American.

  22. Re:Brief translation from Chinese on Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight · · Score: 1

    Maybe India, China, and Japan could collaborate?

    The naming of this joint mission fills the mind with possiblities; and they could blame the west for it?

  23. Re:Brief translation from Chinese on Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, when is the next China mission to the Moon?

    I guess cheap knock offs don't work well on the moon either.

  24. Re:Irony on Is the West Building Its Own Iron Curtain? · · Score: 1

    I believe it was refered to as "Airstrip One"

  25. Re:No on Is the West Building Its Own Iron Curtain? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Then we must all persuade those who are visiting, or working in the U.S. to leave. The sooner the better. It's to fight terrorism; and save their babies.
