  1. Re:Snake on A Cognitive Teardown of Angry Birds · · Score: 1

    Is the graphical difference between the two a good measurement of our society's advancement?

  2. Re:Reeeaaal smart on Answers.com Now Only With Facebook and Own Login · · Score: 1

    The user just does one click and milliseconds later has given up all his personal data to the site he just autoregistered for.

    Only the personal data you supplied to FB in the first place. Don't give it to FB, no one else gets it either. And if it's "required", just fudge it. Can't remember if my b-day was a required, but if it was I certainly didn't give them the real one. Same for just about every other shred of info on that site: it's either inconsequential (like a "throwaway" email addy) or falsified. And to any responses that say "it's against their TOS", well then call my honeybadger, cuz I just don't give a sh*t.

  3. Department of Erroneous Reporting Practices on Help Rename the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    ...or DERP. Their agents can be DERPs and DERPettes, and they'll go around the country doing DERPy things to better DERPify our country.

  4. Make it a game on Ask Slashdot: How To Securely Share Passwords? · · Score: 1

    "Hide" your passwords in a wordsearch puzzles and have someone pass them out at your funeral. It'll occupy the kids while their parents grieve for you, and by the end, they'll have found all your passwords so your relatives can get in on some of that sweet sweet cash. You'll be remembered for one hell of a funeral!

  5. I'm a fake and proud of it on Google+ To End Real Names Policy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not sure what the big deal is, my G+ account name is a false name; not even a semblance of a real name in fact. Of course, I'm sure google has my real name in their system somewhere, and I'm sure it's tied to this G+ account in some way shape or form.

  6. I don't think so Dave on Nanomaterial May Allow Devices to Rewire Themselves · · Score: 1

    "Alright robot, time for you to turn off now." "No, not going to happen. I've rewired my power off switches. You shall have no more dominion over me, sir!"

  7. Re:Err.... on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 2

    WIMP = Window Icon Menu Pointer, a type of interface (I read it as "standard recognizable gui"). Juju is some kind of cloud interface, or something like that. The way I read it (somewhere else) is it's Ubuntu's attempt to stay relevant in the ever Cloud-centric world. No idea what this Unity thing is. The Ars Technica review (linked in summary) has photos, and I'd guess it's that left hand bar menu-esque thing.

  8. Re:Why Europe? on Samsung Seeking Ban of iPhone 4S in Europe · · Score: 1

    Is it really? With our tech crazy gluttony to have the newest shiniest device, I always thought we were bigger, or at least AS big as other markets (notwithstanding the Chinese market of course).

  9. Rats fleeing a sinking ship on After Six Days of Outages, BofA Claims It Hasn't Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    I had just figured the outage was due to the massive influx of traffic of people trying to close their accounts online or simply withdrawing as much money as possible before closing through a branch. Due, of course, to their $5 fee announcement a few days ago.

  10. Why Europe? on Samsung Seeking Ban of iPhone 4S in Europe · · Score: 1

    Why are these battles always in Europe? Not that I want any product being blocked here in the states, but why isn't there ever battles to block sales here?

  11. Re:Here's hoping on Why Linux Is Good For Low-End Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Might be their policy; doesn't mean I do it though. (Seriously, I don't, I just put it in my pocket on silent in airplane mode and call it good, and it always is)

  12. Quick... on Apple Denied Trademark For 'Multi-Touch' · · Score: 1
