  1. Obvious? on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    The following "news" was brought to you by Stratasys.

  2. Re:Other way aground on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat.

  3. Re:Really good idea on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    If you think it flies like a bucket of shit, wait until you see its crappy landings.

  4. Re:24 hours compared to what? on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Funniest CNC mills-vs-3D printers comment I've seen so far. Too bad I'm out of mod points.

  5. Re:Quick!! on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Buy your 3D-printed drone using Bitcoin and control it with this new open-source Android app via a wi-fi connected Arduino to spy on your Facebook friends while wearing a tin hat to prevent Google from making you buy the latest teen pop album sold on iTunes.

  6. Re:so what.... on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 2

    I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a 3D-printed hammer, to treat everything as if it were a 3D-printed nail.

  7. Re:Mars Trilogy future comes closer on 3D-Printed UAV Can Go From Atoms to Airborne in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Not sure if trolling or never heard about RepRap.

  8. Re:Nearly Unbreakable on "Nearly Unbreakable" Encryption Scheme Inspired By Human Biology · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll remove "Data In, Garbage Out" from my features list.

  9. Re:Nearly Unbreakable on "Nearly Unbreakable" Encryption Scheme Inspired By Human Biology · · Score: 1

    I can easily create an encryption system that is unbreakable. You just won't be able to get your data back.

  10. Nearly Unbreakable on "Nearly Unbreakable" Encryption Scheme Inspired By Human Biology · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The keyword here is nearly, which means it can be broken.

  11. Re:Knowledge on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 4, Funny

    What do they think about Apple computers?

  12. Re:Lires, Capes, Shields - how lame on Intel Releases $99 'MinnowBoard Max,' an Open-Source Single-Board Computer · · Score: 2

    Even better, how come nobody ever thought about using "Sonboard"?

  13. Re:Always do rock. on A Rock Paper Scissors Brainteaser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course. You use the rock to smash him in the head while he tries to stab you with the scissors. Your friend then uses the paper to write a letter to your parents about how you died in a stupid fight about statistics.

  14. Facebook or Google? on Why No One Trusts Facebook To Power the Future · · Score: 0

    Whoever wins, we loose.

  15. Who? on Why No One Trusts Facebook To Power the Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Facebook owns virtually all the aspects of the social experience—photos (Instagram), status updates (Facebook), location services (Places).

    That's funny, I don't use any of these services, yet I have a very social Web experience. I hang in places where people with the same hobbies hang out and it's great. It's called forums.

  16. Re:Typical corporation bullshit on British Domain Registrar Offers 'No Transfer Fees,' Charges Transfer Fee · · Score: 1

    Constitution? States? You believe everyone who posts on Slashdot lives in the USA?

  17. Typical corporation bullshit on British Domain Registrar Offers 'No Transfer Fees,' Charges Transfer Fee · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sign here to be bound by terms we can change any time.

    How can that be legal?

  18. What Japan should do on Japan Orders Military To Strike Any New North Korea Missiles · · Score: 2

    Just send a dozen mechas to North Korea.

  19. Re:Welcome to on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 1

    They could make a new movie with Sean Connery, called The Hunt for the New World October.

  20. Re:So If I Drop My Phone on Google Project Ara Design Will Use Electro-Permanent Magnets To Lock In Modules · · Score: 1

    My reply starts with If it's not intended for the masses, the rest of my comment is based on that assumption, which was from the parent post.

  21. Re:This data is about Twitter not platforms on Illustrating the Socioeconomic Divide With iOS and Android · · Score: 2

    Let's all remember that Twitter starts with "Twit".

    I'm gonna launch my own service, called "Idiotter".

  22. Re:So... on The Amazon Fire TV Is Kind of a Mess · · Score: 1

    I don't have mod points right now, but what Lumpy says is true. I'm selling the ones I have (2nd gen) before the 4th gen model comes out.

  23. Re:So If I Drop My Phone on Google Project Ara Design Will Use Electro-Permanent Magnets To Lock In Modules · · Score: 1

    I never said it would fail on its own as a device, I said it would fail on the points I listed, the third point being the most important if it's not intended for the mass market.

  24. Re:Don't Put In Pocket on Google Project Ara Design Will Use Electro-Permanent Magnets To Lock In Modules · · Score: 0

    Who the hell still uses floppy disks in 2014?

  25. Re:So If I Drop My Phone on Google Project Ara Design Will Use Electro-Permanent Magnets To Lock In Modules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's not intended for the masses, then it's going to fail on all important points:

    - it will be bigger/thicker than current all-in-one phones because each module will be its own box with its own case and you need space for the magnets and inter-modular connections
    - it means it will cost even more than current all-in-one phones
    - it means it won't get manufactured in enough quantities to make a difference in the waste produced by all-in-one phones
