  1. Re:Well that was a load of crap on HBGary Hack In Depth · · Score: 2

    link?

  2. Sports on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I hear sports cause bodily harm. They also cause aggression. Being in sports competitively can also lead to steroid use. Playing a game leads to mental exercise. Sure, you're not moving much(unless it's Wii, Move, or Kinect), but I'd rather play make-believe games then come home with something broken. There should be a study on how sports affect teen aggression and how the competitiveness of sports lead to athletes doing things to their bodies that isn't healthy.

  3. Not a great idea... on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    The motion sickness would make everyone sick. I get sick just staring at the wing when the pilot is turning. It would just be too disorientating.

  4. Don't usually say this about Dell... on Dell's 'Dual Personality' Laptop · · Score: 2, Funny

    But that is really cool and innovative. This product fulfills a need that is currently not being met. I'm sure that will be copycaters pretty soon.

  5. Not enough artists yet... on Ping Could Be Apple's Social Networking Backdoor? · · Score: 1

    I went on there this morning and they only have a very small number of artists(Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, U2, Katy Perry, Yo-Yo Ma, Jack Johnson, Shakira, Coldplay, Mark Ronson, Taylor Swift, Dave Matthews Band, and Diddy.) I don't think this will make a dent into Facebook, but if there are a ton of artists who migrate to this then I see that this will certainly hurt myspace music.

  6. Childish on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gawker is just mad they didn't get the scoop. Maybe next time they should offer Assange cash. Apparently that's how they get their scoops.

  7. It's actually true on Survey Says Most iPhone Users Love AT&T · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The vocal minority bitch and moan. The majority of people like the service. It can't be all bad otherwise people would flee. Also, Apple would have nothing to do with a company that its consumers don't support. If Apple is happy then the majority of people are happy.

  8. Re:Good! on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 1

    Dr. Who left him in the present. He's actually a retail book manager at Futuremart. They went for a male love interest this time around but they had a argument and he's stuck in our time working as a retail manager at Wal-mart. He logs into Slashdot to be in the midst of history. Hopefully he won't mess up the time line.

  9. 'Go' doesn't go far enough on Google Engineer Decries Complexity of Java, C++ · · Score: 1

    I tried my hardest back in college to really like programming. I failed. I was taught VB and Java. I just couldn't get around how foreign it is to me to think and write the way programmers do. I think we need a real natural language programming language that anyone can understand to use. Why not put the brains at Google to create such a programming language. I have been looking at Google's App Creator and it looks really neat. Visually creating programs is also another way to get people into programming.

  10. "Protecting the Consumers" on GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    All the broadband companies interest is just protecting themselves to a constant stream of income without regard to the health of the internet. The Internet to them is just a revenue stream. Their interest is shaping the internet to maximize that stream. "Protecting the Consumers" is just a phrase used to blanket the problem of broadband trying to shape the internet into cable.

  11. Re:What Advertisers Don't Understand on Contextual Ads Based On Images · · Score: 1

    When the time comes, you will seek them. Most people just look in the phone book. That's where the ad should be. If anything, having such an ad when your grandma is not doing well is actually a turn-off. It depresses people. I'm fine with TV ads but when you have a picture of your own grandma and then an ad for a funeral home, that just goes over the line. It's like having pics of young men with accompanying ad for beer or condoms. Or a teenage girl and an ad for birth-control. The ads are fine where they belong, but they don't belong associated with a picture you personally put up yourself.

  12. What Advertisers Don't Understand on Contextual Ads Based On Images · · Score: 1

    People don't want invasive ads. I like the ads of yesteryear. All they did was provide information. Nowadays I've got ads that try to appeal to my emotions. It's ridiculous. Why such the rampant ads with children? Their only purpose is to attract women into buying said items. It appeals to the mother in them. For men,they see lots of commercials about young boys and baseball. Also young girls and how they are princesses. Appealing to emotions, I think is going to far. Why would I want an emotional response to a box of cereal? Ads for me are just a vehicle to provide information about a product or service I may want to use. The whole concept of using pictures, that you yourself have taken, to funnel ads also goes too far. Imagine if it could discern the age of individuals. Would you like to have the local funeral home advertising just because there is a picture of grandma on the screen? Of course not.

  13. Re:Playboy w/o nudity? on Playboy Launches Safe For Work Website · · Score: 1

    Yeah, also, how exactly am I gonna explain an article entitled "How to Get Laid at Work"? I'm sure the higher-ups, female in this organization, are gonna love that.

  14. Things I would like to do with Milo on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 5, Funny

    1) Walk around naked in Milo's presence. How would he react? Is Milo into women or men?

    2) Drink beer in the presence of Milo. Would Milo care for some and if yes, can Milo become drunk?

    3) Mess with Milo's logic.

    4) Scare Milo by saying that it was created by Microsoft and therefore is evil.

    5) Teach Milo to fart.

    6) Tell Milo he is a pirated version.

    7) Convert Milo to a religion.

  15. Absurd on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

    This truly is absurd. Prince, of all people, declares the internet is over. How did he come to this assessment? The internet is now like a utility. Can he make the claim that electricity, gas, and water are over? More likely that his music career is over and he can't figure out how to use the internet.

  16. College Fund on "David After Dentist" Made $150k For Family · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hopefully this will amount to a nice college fund for the kid. But in reality, the parents will use all the money to buy TVs and a car. I can't believe the father quit his job over this. Does he really think this is really gonna support his family in 5 years time?
    Also, this kid is gonna have to live with this for the rest of his life.

  17. Re:Its a scam on Alleged Russian Spy Ring Exposed In US · · Score: 1

    I thought the same too. It's just so strange that a movie about this topic just happens to be coming out. Salt--if you're interested.

  18. Re:Nothing too serious. on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 2, Funny

    As said fatguy, all I gotta say is that I tripped over the dog.

  19. Re:Ads on The Apple Broadcast Network · · Score: 1

    We tout innovation but apparently no one can innovate a way out of using the same ad model for decades. I prefer subscriptions. I'm a happy subscriber of Marvel Digital Comics. Also had HBO at one point. Why can't we subscribe to the channels we want and not pay for the ones we don't want(a la carte). Or better yet have a subscription model per show. The show you like will be ad free while the others, which you'll probably ignore, run like they usually do.

  20. Ads on The Apple Broadcast Network · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I despise how everything I now want to interact with (TV, Internet, video games, the old paper media) must be all based on ads. Can't somebody think of a better way? And if I have a subscription, can't I receive an ad free version. Thank (your favorite deity) for AdBlock and the mute button. I remember a time when there were only two commercial breaks when watching a TV program, now it's four. It sometimes feels like there is more commercials than actual program. I demand that these media outlets pay me for watching these ads. I might actually pay attention to them if I was paid to watch them.

  21. Subway Builder on Man Builds His Own Subway · · Score: 1

    He likes to be called a sandwich artist.

  22. Verizon on Flash Support Confirmed For Android 2.2 · · Score: 1

    He should of asked about the refusal of Verizon to carry the g-phone.

  23. Re:LOTR on Amazon Reviewers Take on the Classics · · Score: 1

    They've also have flat feet.

  24. Sinfest the webcomic on American Newspapers to Begin Carrying Manga · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I will never give in manga in newspapers unless it is http://sinfest.net/.
    Although it's likely never to happen considering the author, Tatsuya Ishida, has been rejected 11 times by the syndicates.

  25. Part of the infamous Echelon system? on Astronomers Revel In Former NSA Site · · Score: 1

    This has Echelon written all over it. I'd sure like to find out what the NSA did with the, "two 85-foot satellites dishes on the site - some of the largest in the country." It sure makes me wonder about the power the NSA holds over government agencies and the average Joe. Check out for more info on Echelon.
