  1. Re:You know, what is more shocking on The Science of Password Selection · · Score: 2

    I SMS'd that password to Charles Dickens, and he sent back "T1my iz a kriple lol!".

  2. Re: http://www.betterwholesaler.us on Apple Patents Portrait-Landscape Flipping · · Score: 0

    Interesting, a can of beer, being a mulitfunction device (tastes good, has an effect on the nervous system, classified as medicinal in some societies), has it's own orientation detection and changes its contents accordingly when changed from vertical to horizontal.

  3. For me, there's a single good reason on Developer Calls Amazon Appstore a 'Disaster' · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is a single reason not to use the Amazon app store to publish your app:

    1) Customers willing to pay money living outside of the US cannot purchase from the store. I can publish my app from Australia, but I cannot purchase my own app without some circumnavigation of their block.

  4. Wait till they start installing hook-turns on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    Roundabouts are easy to deal with. When you start getting fancy hook turns, turning right from the left lane, that's when traffic has truly evolved into something else.

  5. Re:Regression testing on Dropbox Password Goof Let Any Password Work For 4 Hours · · Score: 1

    You mean that someone has finally closed the sarcasm tag on Slashdot?

    No wait, must be nested a few deep.

    Mein Führer! I can walk!

  7. Not enough really. on US Intelligence Agency to Compile Mountain of Metaphors · · Score: 3, Funny

    What we need here is a database of really bad analogies. Keep it somewhere safe.

    Imagine putting it in the locked glove compartment in a car.

  8. Re:Doom? on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    Luxury!

    When I was a kid we had to get up and lick the road dry with our tongues!

  9. Re:Armenian children sitting in school on Armenia Makes Chess Compulsory In Schools · · Score: 1

    I was reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

  10. Armenian children sitting in school on Armenia Makes Chess Compulsory In Schools · · Score: 5, Funny

    Plotting, scheming. Next it'll be mandatory reading of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Animal Farm and 1984. Apple stores burnt to the ground. Halted sales of converse to Hipsters. Mandatory prison sentences for anyone using a laptop at Tzarbucks. These are the children of the future...

  11. Re:One word... well acronym... on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 1

    Show me all films with a fastback Mustang chasing a '69 Dodge Charger.

  12. Great, new spam on Kidney Printer · · Score: 1

    Penis printing facilities. Price is measure in standard page sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, US Letter size, or Foolscap.

  13. Re:YMMV on Chess Games Translated To Music · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the next step would be a music2chess. The awkward situation of Louie Louie beating a chess grand master.

    Or even worse, Viswanathan Anand being checkmated by a drummer.

  14. Re:Sony will be annoyed on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wonder if they've disabled the fetching of custom icon files from the drive as you insert it. Nice place to find buffer overflows.

  15. Pissed off crackers? on London Stock Exchange Was 'Under Major Cyberattack' During Linux Switch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Part of thinks that these guys may have had easy access to the stock exchange system through whatever backdoor they had. Closing it then pissed them off so they went on the attack.

  16. Re:CQ? on Egypt Shuts Off All Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Livestock with extra electrons? I love bacon as much as the next person, positive bacon would make life perfect.

  17. If you go to the Vatican on Bill Gates Is More Admired Than the Pope · · Score: 1

    You can see the Pope's MVP certificate.

  18. Re:I do not think that word means what you think i on Smartphone As Your Most Dangerous Possession · · Score: 1

    My Chimpanzee owns both drivers and firearms licences. I've seen him drive with a hunting knife between his teeth while making bank transfers on his smartphone. I aggregate my dangerous possessions.

  19. Re:Huh? on Is Mark Zuckerberg the Next Steve Case? · · Score: 1

    Vanity and people who crave approval. I'd +1 but I've no points.

  20. Re:Very cool on Navy Uses Railgun To Launch Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    As with some other technologies, I think they could take a hint from nature. In particular the frog where we fit-out every air-craft carrier with a giant sticky tongue which shoots out when the plane gets within striking distance.

  21. Perfect solution on Electric Cars May Be Made Noisier By Law · · Score: 1

    Get one of those tail-pipes that goes Woooo! Woooo!

  23. Just curious about the department name on UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can only assume there's a Mildly Worrying Organised Crime Agency?

  24. Re:Not costing them anything. on MS Gives Free Licenses To Oppressed Nonprofits · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Maybe Microsoft is teasing them with a taste of their amazing technical support and after sales service.

    I'd think most of these countries would benefit more by being given pre-thrown chairs.

  25. Re: The Alchemists on Sir Isaac Newton, Alchemist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ladyboyarium springs to mind, with its unexpected extra Boson.
