  1. Rickroll from the grave on QR Codes For Memorials · · Score: 1

    It's not the zombies you need to worry about, it's the post-mortem trolling.

  2. Re:Decimated? on US Is Finally Cleaning Up Agent Orange In Vietnam · · Score: -1, Troll

    317,460 hogsheads covered 1,999,992 square furlongs in 408 fortnights, nice going USA!

  3. It's simple on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    1. Complement them on their company and its direction
    2. Tell them they shouldn't have to wait for the exit interview to communicate effectively with their employees.
    3. "Thanks! Bye!"

    Exit interviews are about statistics, not about gathering opinionated solutions. If they seem to act on your advice after you've left, it'll be due to the stats, not your once off rant.

  4. Easy to remember on Unbreakable Crypto: Store a 30-character Password In Your Subconscious Mind · · Score: 1

    Up, left, left, left, down, up, down, up, right. Got it.

  5. DON'T PANIC! on Microsoft Posts First Quarterly Loss Ever · · Score: 1

    Don't panic Mr Mannering!

  6. Re:Ballmer on Microsoft Posts First Quarterly Loss Ever · · Score: 1

    He would use Chair-style Kung-Fu.

  7. Re:Finally! on Trolling Al Qaeda... For Peace? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Troll + Insightful = Funny

    That's how the palette of Slashdot mod points work.

  8. Re:Right on Trolling Al Qaeda... For Peace? · · Score: 1

    Not such pissing them off, more getting them in a tissy. Spacked out terrorists confused about where to put the stick of TNT.

    If they could redirect 4chan posts to the Taliban they'd be all rainbows and unicorns.

  9. Re:But... on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Review · · Score: 1

    Cables? Just get a system with Bluetooth that has A2DP. You don't even need to take the phone out of your pocket.

    Heck, the music files don't even need to be on your phone, run a UPnP renderer on your phone, music server at home and stream the music to your car.

  10. I'm on borrowed time on Stroke Risk Spikes In Healthy Adults Who Don't Get Enough Sleep · · Score: 1

    That must be a quiet meeting.

  11. Re:"on there", "on here" on John Carmack Is Building a Virtual Reality Headset · · Score: 1

    The "hmm" has gone after each sentence, that was painful to listen to when he became more animated. I'd say some sort of speech therapy has been put into action over the years.

  12. Re:Surprising on Aussie Government Brings Back Piracy Talks · · Score: 3, Funny

    I could never get the hang of them.

  13. Re:I thought they were all on private islands on US CIO/CTO: Idea of Hiring COBOL Coders Laughable · · Score: 1

    They took that zero and bought an airship. They're up there with Cory Doctorow writing COBOL sci-fi novels and mowing Astro-turf.

  14. Bad decision on Is Facebook Going To Buy Opera? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm sure they could have picked up Internet Explorer for a steal. Imagine the positive effect on the stock price!

  15. Only public posts? on Online Loneliness At Google+ · · Score: 2

    There's your problem. If your G+ stream seems like a ghost town it's because you only have your Facebook friends in your circles.

    In G+ you add people with specific INTERESTS to your circles. That way when you read your stream, you get posts from people with the same INTEREST.

    The links below are to shared circles. Add these circles to your profile, your stream will jump into life.

    General Geek Circle
    More General Geek Circle
    Interesting Folks Circle
    Video Game Industry Circle
    List of Circles

    Once you get it, you'll find that G+ has a 5000 person circle limit...

  16. Re:near unlimited range thanks to in-air refueling on America's Next Bomber: Unmanned, Unlimited Range, Aimed At China · · Score: 1

    Don't need bombs, just send the automated Slim Pickens over.

  17. Big red bumper stickers on Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads · · Score: 0

    +1 my driving!

    Add me to your autonomous driving roundabouts!

    My internet is a series of tunnels!

    Driver closer, I'm feeling lucky!

    Do a barrel roll!

  18. Re:Google Beta on Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads · · Score: 4, Funny

    Goolash. Another fine dish tainted.

  19. Re:Read to him? on Ask Slashdot: Which Comic Books To Start My 3-Year-Old With? · · Score: 1

    I'll second that, it greatly assists comprehension, which tends to get overlooked sometimes with kids. Sure, they can read the words but understanding story is another thing for some. Reading to my daughter also gave me an opportunity to re-visit books that I loved as a child myself. Roald Dahl and David Walliams go down well at any age, try books for a few pages to see if they keep interest, if not then re-attempt in a few months. At 5 she was ploughing through the Narnia series and really enjoying it.

  20. This might explain something else about pigeons on Pigeons May 'Hear' Magnetic Fields · · Score: 1

    Not only does it explain how they get home, but also why they're in such a rush to do so. If someone were playing Jean Michel Jarre at me I'd do my best to get home as quick as I could too.

  21. Re:Wait a bit on Operators: Nokia Would Sell Better With Android · · Score: 1

    The current iPhone 5 rumour has a release date in September.

  22. Re:Missing from summary on New Targeted Mac OS X Trojan Requires No User Interaction · · Score: 5, Funny

    Two ints and a float are in a bar. They spot an attractive double on her own.
    The first int walks up to her. “Hey, baby”, he says, “my VM or yours”. She slaps him and he walks back dejected.
    The second int walks over. “Hey, cute-stuff, can I lick your Bean?”. After a quick slapping, he too walks back.
    The float then ambles over casually. “Were those two primitive types bothering you?”, he remarks.
    “Yes. I’m so glad you’re here”, she says. “They just had no Class!”

    Borrowed from somewhere else...

  23. Cartones! on Audi Gives Silent Electric Car Synthetic Sound · · Score: 1

    The theme song from Benny Hill
    The Spanish Fly music

    Both of these slow down and speed up with the car.

  24. There isn't an anti-virus dept IN Apple on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 1

    They're parked outside your house in a white/glass van with a giant Apple on the side.

  25. Re:South Australia? on Bill Introduced To Ban Sale of MA15+ Games To Anyone Under 18 in SA · · Score: 1

    We don't just have a Bible Belt in Queensland, we have a Bible Belt and Suspenders.
