  1. Re:3D printers == sex toys industry on Pirate Bay To Offer Physical Item Downloads · · Score: 1

    This is so old, XKCD covered it

  2. Re:Not interested... on See the Tesla S at the Detroit International Auto Show (Video) · · Score: 1

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

    oh wait, that dude doesn't post here anymore...

  3. Re:Coding facepalm on Tales of IT Idiocy · · Score: 1
    you think that's boneheaded, what about:

    if (a=b)
    {
    doFunction();
    }

    What a howler!

  4. harvester of eyes, that's me, on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 1

    Crappy search results make Google search look bad, and search users might go elsewhere. It's not altruism, it's customer retention.

    You've got the relationship backwards. It's actually quality control on their product, to whit, eyeballs.

  5. Re:Innovation. on Apple Unveils Software To Reinvent the Textbook · · Score: 1

    Gotta be able to support professors releasing a new, incompatible edition every year so the cattle^W students have to pony up $$$$$ again.
    Probably already has re-sale prevention baked in, so we're good on that account.
    Apple just wants to snarf up the low hanging fruit by cutting out the publisher. They can be the good guy, cutting prices in half, and still make many $$$$$$.

  6. well, that's just like, your opinion, man! on Printing a Home: The Case For Contour Crafting · · Score: 1

    Bah!
    I double-dog (sic) dare you to name one contribution Tesla made to the science of electrocuting small household pets and circus animals to scare little old ladies.
    one.

  7. /jk, really... on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    time to get stabby!

    hey, I've been advocating that for years! I can't get anyone to listen.

  8. I KNEW IT! on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can we go back to the good old days of using IP numbers instead of text string that goes thru a DNS server. I think it might be harder for governments to censor that.

    I'm sure APK is unaffected by all this...

  9. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Koobface Malware Traced To 5 Russians · · Score: 1

    isn't Bookface one of the super villains in "The Tick"?!!!

    I think it's time for PybusJ to admit he has a pr0n problem...

  12. this, and then that other thing... on OpenStreetMap Reports Data Vandalism From Google-Owned IPs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's starting to sound like Google needs to reign in their over-eager foreign subsidiaries.

  15. hey... wait a second... this seems familiar on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 1

    Isn't this just that hoary old SCO troll? Microsoft's just dropped the pretense of using a sockpuppet to do it's shakedowns. And should be treated the same.


    DON'T FORGET TO PAY YOUR $699 LICENSING FEE YOU COCKSMOKING TEABAGGERS!!!

  16. I call bullshit on Russian Official Implies Foul Play In Mars Probe Failure · · Score: 1

    No press conference from K'Breel, speaker for the council ?!

  18. occupy reddit?!!! on Reddit Turning SOPA "Blackout" Into a "Learn-In" · · Score: 1

    It's a needed evil. To stop turning the internet into a communist domain.

    In Soviet Russia, you fool KREMVAX!

  19. Jamaica's finest on Who's Flying Those Drones? FAA Won't Say · · Score: 1

    Did it have a horizontal red stripe along the fuselage ?

    Seems like the FAA would know if it was a water tanker and wouldn't be coy about it...

    Looks like the closest place for something big to land would be 20 miles away.

  20. CORONA, anyone? on Who's Flying Those Drones? FAA Won't Say · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If the drones are prop driven, it wouldn't be hard to build a counter-drone to snag the prop on a line attached to a parachute.
    Jet powered would be a bit harder, maybe a a strong, lightweight lead that could get sucked into the engine without breaking.

    just sayin'...

    damn, that would be a fun job, dreaming up and testing counter-measures.

  21. I wanna be a warlord! on Who's Flying Those Drones? FAA Won't Say · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's gonna get really bad when those troops are demob'd, can't find jobs and join OWS.

    Maybe some aliens will come by and trade us some magic beans that grow an orbital beanstalk.
    Win-win all around.

    Unless giants are real, too.

  23. off by 2^3 ?! on Almost 1 In 3 US Warplanes Is a Drone · · Score: 1

    Either that, or they accidentally capitalized the "B" in "Mb" somewhere.

    Stupid hoo-mans, maybe you shouldn't use a protocol with every bit of redundancy squeezed out of if one bit error makes that much of a difference.
