  1. Running out of helium? on Helium Depleted, Herschel Space Telescope Mission Ends · · Score: 2

    That reminds me of a puzzle!

  2. Re:Template on Startup Founder Plays Tech Press Like a Fiddle · · Score: 1

    Well, every niche that has article writers is that, unfortunately. Gaming press is even corrupt to the point they are being told to give good reviews to the games.

  3. Re:Template on Startup Founder Plays Tech Press Like a Fiddle · · Score: 1

    I don't trust journalism for good reasons. I wish I didn't have to but they are making it hard for me not to remain skeptical.

  4. Intelligence is inherited on Physicist Proposes New Way To Think About Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Just like any other physical trait.

  5. I love the details! on Hybrid RotorWing Design Transitions From Fixed To Rotary Wing Mid-Flight · · Score: 1

    All that tape, cables and patchwork. It looks like a real garage project. :3

  6. Re:Anti sexist policies are almost always sexist on Changing the Ratio of Women In Tech: How Etsy Did It · · Score: 1

    Exactly this. Favoritism is always bad.

  7. Re:Incredible! on Former Sega Employee Reveals Sega Pluto Prototype Console · · Score: 1

    I think the Ouya has a real competitor on its hands now. You could say it's bog, like Sonic the Hedgehog.

  8. Re:Why would I want the Google Glass? on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 1

    Proclaiming yourself to be a geek and then proceed to buy a hyped-up expensive product by a big corporation does not correlate. Want to be a real "geek" then watch anime, become a brony and get a dakimakura. Bonus points for going to cons. Extra bonus points for dressing up like your favourite character. Extra extra bonus points for ending up on Your cosplay sucks.

  9. Re:Why would I want the Google Glass? on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 1

    Why do you want it?

  10. Why would I want the Google Glass? on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 0

    I have no idea why I should pay a lot for something I strap on my head to do what exactly? It's not making stuff around me levitate or otherwise make my life any more spectacular than I make it myself. It also cannot replace a strong drug effect if you are into that.

    Remember the Virtua Boy? That's what I am thinking of when I think of Google Glass. If I want a novelty item to strap to my head my money is on the Oculus Rift.

  11. Re:Not supported on Anonymous Raises Over $54,000 For Dedicated Your Anon News Website · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It was posted on /pol/ a while ago. Already then it was dismissed. I don't see this as being anything but yet another opinionated meaning-skewing outlet just like every other. Look at /. for instance, after being here I feel that I should buy more computer hardware and learn to code.

  12. Yearly thing on Google Apps Suffering Partial Outage · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's like the start of a new tradition! Yay! :3

  13. Why hasn't this been posted yet? on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 1

    That this is absolute bullshit.

  14. Re:Phones: More than communication on Competitors Complain To EC That Free Android Is a 'Trojan Horse' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am going to take a wild guess:

    The user?

  15. Cue Jlist's NSFW link on Researchers Build 3D Printer That Makes Tissue-Like Material · · Score: 1
  16. Do you speak Norwegian? on Ask Nathan Myhrvold What You Will, Live Q&A April 3 · · Score: 1

    I was curious about that seeing your name. :3

  17. Re:creepshot on Google Reportedly Making a Smartwatch, Too · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know there is a lot of energy to be harnessed kinetically by rapid repeated forearm motions caused by the creepshots and the virtual naked filter...

  18. It's all about presenation on Schneier: Security Awareness Training 'a Waste of Time' · · Score: 1

    It's all about how you present the security awareness. Start by asking a simple question: "Do you care about your profile/account/access?" Then keep it simple from there. Just one or two one-lined paragraphs or bulletpoints, or a video lasting max 30 seconds. Use emotions and feelings and pack it all up with kittens and upbeat indie music. That is how you get it into the skulls of the mediocre masses.

  19. Re:It's a "Jump to conclusions" mat. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    I should probably see it.

  20. Re:It's a "Jump to conclusions" mat. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    I don't know why, but I found this amusing.

  21. Slow news day? on EU Car Makers Manipulating Fuel Efficiency Figures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Haven't we all been taught to take all of these "tests" with a grain of salt?

  22. This device can detect Alzheimer's! on Technology To Detect Alzheimer's Takes SXSW Prize · · Score: 5, Funny

    This device can detect Alzheimer's, and it sure as hell can detect Alzheimer's!

  23. Re:Your seeds on Terminator Sparrows? · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. Just do it. DO IT

  24. I am so illiterate on Carmakers Oppose Opening Up 5GHZ Spectrum Space For Unlicensed Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    I see a techy subject and read it instantly as Carmackers...

  25. Blender is FREE on Blender 2.66 Released · · Score: 2

    What part of free do you not understand? Stop complaining about it. You have no reason at all. I switched from 3Dsmax to Blender and have never looked back. Seamless integration with the Unity made it superior as a development tool for graphics and animations. Whenever I see people complain about a free product like Blender for petty reasons remember that jumping off a bridge is free too.
