  1. Mustache off, please on Facebook Will Track What Physical Stores You Go Into (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    "GPS needs to be on and set to high accuracy mode in order to detect your location and activity" We understand each other, my Android friend.

  2. I.G.Y. on Mooted: An Undersea Link From Finland To Estonia · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for that train, all graphite and glitter; 90 minutes from New York to Paris.

  3. Babysitter? on Can Students Have Too Much Tech? · · Score: 2

    Are they measuring adult/supervisory interaction in these studies? Technology can't be a baby sitter for children/students. "What's this website 'Imgur'?"

  4. Re:Mars Needs Women on NASA's HI-SEAS Project Results Suggests a Women-Only Mars Crew · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
    "Undoubtedly one of the stupidest motion pictures ever made. How I got talked into it, I don't know." -- Tommy Kirk

  5. Re:I don't think we are giving anything up. on Lost Opportunity? Windows 10 Has the Same Minimum PC Requirements As Vista · · Score: 2

    I agree. I think with any system, Windows, Mac, or Linux, the OS should be out the way to let me use 16 Gb for my raster/vector art, word processing, and/or movie editing software. If it looks pretty, even better. Although Windows 8.x and 10 look too damn flat for me. You need all that to run Firefox anyway.

  6. Re:Obligatory on New Goggles Offer Minority Report-Style Interface With Heads-Up Display · · Score: 1
  7. If you don't like it, make your own on Disney's Titling Problem With Its Star Wars Movies · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Finally they are recognized! on New Moons of Pluto Named Kerberos and Styx; Popular Choice 'Vulcan' Snubbed · · Score: 1

    Oh man, didn't Stanford Torus open for Styx in '78?

  9. Stroy Fail. Legal Fail. on Data Leak Spurs Huge Offshore Tax Evasion Investigation · · Score: 0

    "The IRS said, 'There is nothing illegal about holding assets through offshore entities; ..." Stopped reading after that. This story seems to rely on the reader's sense of right and wrong; morals and ethics. Fail.

  10. Correction: on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    CNN would like to apologize for the mistranslation. The article should have read "North Korean penis raised to firing position". As a further addendum to this story a North Korean Communist staffer was heard to say "So sorry, Un; we can try again later". The staffer was killed and later imprisoned.

  11. My on-topic vote on Vote To Name Two Newly Discovered Moons of Pluto · · Score: 1

    Acheron and Persephone get my vote. LV-426 and Monica Bellucci. Yes, indeed.

  12. Re:Why pick on EVs? on Fisker Hybrids Get Bad Karma From Superstorm Sandy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because most cars don't burst into flame when submerged.

  13. The First Rule on Ask Slashdot: What Would Your 'I've Got To Disappear' Plan Look Like? · · Score: 1

    The first rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is you do not talk about the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan"
    The second rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is you do not talk about the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan"
    The third rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is if someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out, the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is over.
    The fourth rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is only two guys to a "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan"
    The fifth rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is only one "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" at a time
    The sixth rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is no shirt, no shoes
    The seventh rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is "'I've Got To Disappear' Plans" will go on as long as they have to
    The eighth rule of the "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" is if this is your first "'I've Got To Disappear' Plan" you HAVE to disappear

  14. RANT! on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    Oh my fucking God! I'm going to Flux/OpenBox. I'm tired of the tiles, jewels, and bangly, big-buttoned food-trough-water over-excited dog wetting shit!

  15. I think... on DARPA Researches Avatar Surrogates · · Score: 1

    I have seen this movie. Or maybe this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woxgr_GtFnU

  16. Darn you Id Software! on Programming Error Doomed Russian Mars Probe · · Score: 2

    Who saw "Doom", "Mars", and "Phobos" and reached for your shotgun?

  17. Re:a new business model... on Ask Slashdot: Crowdfunding For Science — Can It Succeed? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I would send $100 to NASA right now if I knew it would reach their coffers.

  18. Indeed on Icelandic Rocks Suggest Meteorites Brought Gold To Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    'Icelandic Rock' was ABBA's greatest rival in the late 70's. They did indeed bring much gold to earth.

  19. Biblical Proportions on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
    Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
    Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
    Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
    Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
    Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, Duke Nukem Forever released ... mass hysteria!
    Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!

  20. The Tides Foundation on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 2

    According to http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/about.php?nid=&id=#support, World Public Opinion is funded by the Tides Foundation, which is a pet project of George Soros and Al Gore, among others. There is no love lost between Soros and Fox. I'd take this survey with a block of salt.

  21. One word: Passwords on Disney Strikes Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    ESPN needs to put a password on ESPN.com's content to "protect it". I swear to God I will never access their content nor any of the mouse's content.

  22. Re:Real Age doesn't "sell" your details. on The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes · · Score: 1

    That quiz is something along the lines of "How smart are you?" When it asked me for my gender and my carrier, I continued thinking that there wasn't much they could get from that (not smart of me, huh?). When it asked for my phone number I relied on my wisdom to close it out.

    Facebook is for the most part a waste of time. I gave in to peer pressure and signed up after some of my closest friends said it was the best thing since sliced silicon wafers. It's not a replacement for Real Life [tm].

    Never give out your birthdate online. Ever. You address belongs in the shipping information for the hard drive or memory you just bought; nowhere else.

  23. Re:assasination on Tactical Camera · · Score: 1

    It was a Fantasy Island episode. A hunter wants to stalk the most dangerous prey, so Mr. Rourke has him use a camera gun to take pictures of a dictator to prove he could shot him. Mind you, it was about 30 years ago, but I remember the camera gun to this day.

  24. Re:How about DRM? on GameStop Selling Games Played By Employees As New · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ha! You can thank the liberal educational system in America for that. "Fuzzy math" -- math without numbers? The whole aim of the educational system now is to ensure the students "feel good about themselves"; education is a FAR second. That's why there are an overabundance of idiots lined up to work at Gamestop and say such things as "Yo I totally own halo brah!"

  25. Stop apologizing! on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    It's a common business language; that's all. Latin, Spanish, and French all had turns at one point in history. English as a business language is fortunate for English speakers, especially US citizens. I need to learn Spanish now...
