  1. Re:I could answer your question on Ask Slashdot: Giving Users Extra-Firewall Access For Sites Normally Blocked? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is your attention span really th-SQUIRREL!

  2. Re:Some precedent in the claimed wrongdoing on FTC Officials Looking Into Apple's Streaming Business Model, Say Sources · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't use a modern necessity as a comparison, music is not necessary to live in 2015. Also, the power lines here are the Internet which Apple does not own nor control. And music from artist A isn't the same as music from artist B (although a lot of artists are extremely similar these days).

    What we need is... a car analogy!

  3. Computers? on FTC Officials Looking Into Apple's Streaming Business Model, Say Sources · · Score: 4, Funny

    Remember when Apple used to make computers?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

  4. Re:Gentlemen: Start your Hummers! on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    Of course it's not a game, I just imagined the whole thing.

  5. Re:Gentlemen: Start your Hummers! on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    I can't find that game anywhere. Given the fact that I haven't searched for it at all, I'm pretty sure someone will reply with a link to it in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

  6. Re:So will stacking us vertically on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 3, Funny

    If something mixes centimetres and inches, it's probably Canadian.

  7. Please donate! on A 'Star Trek' Economic System May Be Closer Than You Think · · Score: 1

    I will keep posting insightful, funny and otherwise stupid-ass comments for free!

    Donations are appreciated, however:

  8. Re:Trust on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Facebook?

  9. Re: Stop the press. The TV is on even after ... on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 1

    I think it's more similar to having a bank account, destroying a credit card and having the credit card company still have access to your bank account.

    No wait, that's not right at all either.

    Can someone make an analogy, but with cars?

  10. Re:App app apps apps! on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 2

    Don't you ever sleep?

    Oh right, you got an app for that. Carry on, then.

  11. Re:intended by whom? on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 1

    Intended by the Marketing and Data Analysis Department, of course.

  12. Re:Google's desire to sell all things on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In this day and age, don't attribute to incompetence that which can be sufficiently explained by malice.

  13. Re:Knowledge is a weapon on The Rise of the New Crypto War · · Score: 3, Funny

    Whoops, I'm sorry. I used ROT26 twice in my previous post.

  14. Re:"Saving Lives" is their claimed priority... on The Rise of the New Crypto War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The same kind of numbers could be used against tobacco, alcohol, food with excessive amounts of fat/sodium/etc. Except there's money to be made with those, so the number of deaths doesn't matter.

  15. Re:Knowledge is a weapon on The Rise of the New Crypto War · · Score: 3, Funny

    I use ROT26. So far, all my communications have gone unnoticed.

  16. Re:What transcript? on MetaMorph Helps non-Engineers Design Circuits (Video) · · Score: 1

    There's a "Hide/Show Transcript" link/toggle below the video and the description. Why there's so much blank space before that link, I have no idea.

  17. Interesting on MetaMorph Helps non-Engineers Design Circuits (Video) · · Score: 1

    It's a kind of DIY CAD for shields/hats.

  18. Re:Not in Canada on 13% of CompSci Grads Have Starting Salaries Over $100K · · Score: 1

    You call a 20% drop a little?

  20. Re:Dupe on Help Save Endangered Rhinos by Making Artificial Horns (Video) · · Score: 1

    No, that one was the original. This one is a 1D copy of it.

  21. Re:Got a better idea on Help Save Endangered Rhinos by Making Artificial Horns (Video) · · Score: 1

    Good thing that only China/Asia is being affected!

  22. Not what I want on NVIDIA Shakes Its Flowing Mane With Life-Like HairWorks 1.1 Demo · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see them try to render anime-style hairs instead. I've never seen it done perfectly, but this seems powerful enough to at least try.

  23. So, you're a people person? on Towards Public-Friendly Open Science: YouTube Alongside Journal Articles? · · Score: 1

    Are you anything like this guy?

  24. Re:French government is for cows. on French Government IT Directorate Supports ODF, Rejects OOXML · · Score: 2

    Ça aurait été vachement mauvais de choisir Microsoft.
