  1. Re:rsync your entire house to a safe, remote locat on Ask Slashdot: Shortcuts To a High Tech House · · Score: 1

    Psh that is so several years ago. I just live in the cloud.

  2. Re:Hmm on Navy Planning To Build Laser Cannon In Four Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wouldn't the obvious solution be to create ships which absorb incoming energy and re-use it for their own use?

    If I extend that "obvious solution" to apply to how to counter, say, nuclear weapons, you'll see why that won't work.

  3. Re:the phone on IETF Attendees Reengineer Their Hotel's Wi-Fi Net · · Score: 2

    Dude I'm wearing my pockets inside out as soon as 2015 hits.
    At least get the reference right ;)

  4. Re:Who "owns" who on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 1

    who "OWNS" whom?

    FTFY ... yeah I'm single for a reason :(

  5. Re:Opera on Firefox: In With the New, Out With the Compatibility · · Score: 1

    I am (you may have seen some of my other posts...) a HUGE fan of Opera. And you are right. (Most) everything is built in. Which makes it super nice, because, as you said, it's the Opera team who are responsible for keeping the "plugins" working. But I think that most of that is that Opera has a nice slow(-ish) release schedule. Opera loads all sorts of cool new stuff into a new version, make sure it works, and release it, and then the other browsers struggle to implement their own versions of said cool new features before Opera does it again. :)

  8. Windows Pager on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://windowspager.sourceforge.net/

    Its a lightweight free one that stays on your taskbar, like the linux ones I am used to. You can move windows either by dragging or right-clicking on the title bar. My favourite feature is "keep on top" that I have become dependent on with my linux desktop. :)

    PS to run it, just run it. To make it run every time, put a shortcut in the "startup" folder.

  9. Re:Wondering on Seagate Hits 1 Terabit Per Square Inch · · Score: 1

    Just in case you've been wondering - this is why you are still a virgin.

    I thought we were trying to get past the "mom's basement" stereotype of ./ --- why is this "(Score:5, Informative)" ???

  11. Re:Wouldn't it be easier... on New York State Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...to just imprison everyone, and let out only those who can prove they haven't committed and will never commit a crime?

  12. Re:"Possible New Human Species Discovered in China on Possible New Human Species Discovered In China · · Score: 0

    Actually the homeland of the sheeple is the United States. Trust me, I observe them firsthand every day. .....I just said "sheeple." I am so sorry. :(

  13. Gotta block pastebin! on Turkey Bans Pastebin and Tinyurl · · Score: 2

    Because there aren't hundreds of other sites that you can dump passwords on for people to see? How does Turkey see this slippery slope as sustainable? Just do us the favour of having to watch it in slow-motion and cut off the entire internet. It would get to the resolution of all this a whole lot faster.

  14. Re:I misread the title and was REALLY confused... on Sexually Rejected Flies Turn To Booze · · Score: 2

    I am so glad I was not alone in reading "files"

    Yo dawg, I heard you like tracking

    You really don't know much about art, do you?
