  1. Monty Python on Boiling Down the Meaning of Life · · Score: 2

    Monty Python already knew what it was: look here for some quotes.

  2. Do you think it's worth it? on Ask Slashdot: How To Go Paperless At Home? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All those tax returns, legal paperwork... Can't they just stay on a box or at the basement? It'll require lots of work, and get few benefits. I would understand for new documents; i.e. introducing to a spreadsheet some taxes/things to pay. But why care about the past? Or, at least, why scan? Just type the figures, it'll be more semantic and wouldn't involve machines (except for you and the computer).

  3. Re:just your basic setup... on Ask Slashdot: How To Allow Test Takers Internet Access, But Minimize Cheating? · · Score: 2

    Well, there's a thing called proxy... And there are plenty of them.

  4. Re:That confirms on Germany Delays ACTA Signature, Wants More Discussion · · Score: 4, Informative

    Poland is definitely another great country. It once blocked software patents in Europe; now ACTA... Great!

  5. Re:Sounds like a tool for P I R A T E S !! on Tor Tests Undetectably Encrypted Connections In Iran · · Score: 2

    Hmm. Let's take down computers, operating systems, browsers... They also use them!

  6. That confirms on Germany Delays ACTA Signature, Wants More Discussion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Germany as one of the most sensible states in the world.

  7. That was a Jedi lightsaber. If it were a double Sith lightsaber, nothing would have happened!

  8. Doesn't he have a lightsaber? Galaxy is a dangerous place.

  9. Re:In perspective on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 1

    I believe that every single answer to his post had a logical and thoughtful refutation of his opinion. Most of such replies have been up-modded to insightful.

  10. Re:How is this "news for nerds" on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 1

    Because it's also stuff that matters, yet what he said didn't matter a lot to [whoever's fault was], apparently.

  11. Re:Get his name right! on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 1
  12. Re:In perspective on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You deserve to be modded down. Every life lost, that could have been avoided, is a disaster (and not great even taking into account superpopulation, I suppose your family wouldn't like you to be dead, the 17 people's neither). And, clearly, the Challanger disaster could have been avoided as this guy proved. By the way, here's a quick link on Wikipedia about him.

  13. So, in a few years? on MIT Envisions DIY Solar Cells Made From Grass Clippings · · Score: 5, Funny
  14. Which can be translated to... on Half of Fortune 500s, US Agencies Still Infected With DNSChanger Trojan · · Score: 1

    Half of the Fortune 500s use Windows. Joking apart, I doubt anyone uses Linux in the frontends, sadly.

  15. Maybe... on German Government Endorses Chrome As Most Secure Browser · · Score: -1, Troll

    They didn't take into account its terrific privacy? Sending data to Google HQ? Really??

  16. Obligatory question on The Destruction of Iraq's Once-Great Universities · · Score: -1, Redundant

    How many Libraries of Congress is that?

  17. Re:Wait on Is the Earth Gaining Or Losing Mass? · · Score: 1

    m(b)illions

    In a regexp, you definitely wouldn't like to match mbillions. Use [mb]illions, or ([mb])illions if you want to get whether it's m or b. FTFY.

  18. Obligatory XKCD reference on Firefox's Web Push Notification System Announced · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Still no Flash in mobile ... on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But Flash must die; if we continue feeding it with updates it will not die. Web developers must realize that the future is HTML5.

  20. Re:Chromium master race on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    [sarcasm]Which has a faaaar slower release schedule. Definitely.[/sarcasm]

    Where do you think Firefox got the idea from?

  21. Re:"Firefox n released"... on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 1

    It's a routine.

  22. Before any jokes appear on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Firefox has launched a new version release system, creating an ESR for enterprises, organizations, etc. which is released once in 7 Firefox usual releases (Firefox 10, 17, 24, etc.), so that they don't have so much trouble (it must be horrible to find that two new versions have appeared as you are updating...). See a submission which didn't get to the front page for more details.

  23. Re:$225 on Facebook Reportedly Filing $5 Billion IPO Today · · Score: 1

    When you have, it'll be valued at $224.99, sorry. Anyway, if any profile is worth more than negative infinity, call me!

  24. Wait wait on The Science of Human-Robot Love · · Score: 1

    Didn't it appear in The Big Bang Theory? One of Howard's experiments, I believe.

  25. Re:whatever... on Why the Raspberry Pi Won't Ship In Kit Form · · Score: 1

    For a price which would be one millionth of the typical Apple product.
