  1. Re:Wait... wha? on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Some idiots think it was made by Apple, only works on Apple devices and so they think AAC isn't a valid choice.

  2. Re:..and we need this technology why exactly? on The Connected Home's Battle of the Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Just searched Google. Zero results. I just invented a new word!

    <Fluttershy>Yay!</Fluttershy>

    Funny + Insightful + frightening = Funinsightening.

  4. Re:The Connected Browser's Battle of the Mute Butt on The Connected Home's Battle of the Bulbs · · Score: 2

    Even worst: the damn thing auto-plays so you can't open a bunch of tabs at once and they're making me download something I'm not going to use.

    Waste of bandwidth is what it is. Let's hope it's part of the stupid april first pranks. Then again it appears that beta is real, so who knows.

  5. Re:More reason to keep using Firefox! on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 0

    You know what else are traditional family values? Beating your wife. Letting priests rape orphans. Supporting dictators. Listening to jazz music. Drinking Diet Coke. Milk, eggs, coffee.

  6. Re:Im all for human rights... on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Gay rights? Religious beliefs? What?

    P.S.: this is Slashdot, I didn't RTFA.

  7. Re:Wait... wha? on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And Facebook didn't make the Oculus Rift, Apple didn't create AAC, etc.

    Haters gotta hate.

  8. Re:Bayonet lenses are nothing new on Apple Patent Could Herald Interchangeable iPhone Camera Lenses · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm guessing "for a smartphone" is the new part, just like new patents based on old ideas are approved when you add "on the Internet" to it.

  9. Re:cm and lbs? on Ask Slashdot: Experiences With Free To Air Satellite TV? · · Score: 2

    It's the same thing in Canada. Even flyers have mixed units. I saw a tile cutter on sale at Canadian Tire, which had the following specifications: can cut tiles up to 12" wide, 12 mm thick.

  10. Re:2014/04/01 on Nature Publisher Requires Authors To Waive "Moral Rights" To Works · · Score: 2

    2014 divided by 4 divided by 1 equals 503.5

    If you're going to write dates in the ISO format, you might as well write them properly: 2014-04-01

  11. Best MAME motherboard ever? on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 2

    Powerful enough Intel CPU for MAME and direct Arduino-style ports for all the inputs and outputs of modern, home-made arcade cabinets?

  12. Re:Bad law... on Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video · · Score: -1

    You should know that iTunes runs perfectly fine on a proper operating system.

  13. Re:Blatant conflict of interest on Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's not insightful at all, unless the factories started employing 2-year old babies.

  14. Re:Well... not really on Square Market Now Accepts Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    I once delivered a pizza and the guy paid me with twenty thousand bitcoins. Too bad my dog ate the paper with all the numbers on it.

  15. Re:And, there could be a notice: on If Ridesharing Is Banned, What About Ride-Trading? · · Score: 1

    "4:20" sounded like a bible reference or something, and I didn't feel like reading whole paragraphs of make-believe stories that are supposed to reference something or other.

    And my quote applies to everybody, including me.

    Why are you calling me a republican? I'm Canadian you insensitive clod!

    You spelled Judas wrong.

  18. Re:Forbit all HFT on Adaptation From Flash Boys Offers Inside Look at High-Frequency Trading · · Score: 1

    Thirty seconds is too short and would open the doors for debate, just like we're doing now. Why not 15 seconds? Or how about 45?

    By setting it at one minute, there's less chance of arguing about it. And in our modern, Internet time, two minutes is just too long.

  19. Re:Not practical as contact lenses on Contact Lenses With Infrared Vision? · · Score: 1

    Nope, for that you're going to need infrared hearing.

  20. Re:Forbit all HFT on Adaptation From Flash Boys Offers Inside Look at High-Frequency Trading · · Score: 1

    Thirty seconds is too generous, if such a system would be implemented it should be sixty seconds.

  21. Re:And, there could be a notice: on If Ridesharing Is Banned, What About Ride-Trading? · · Score: 1

    I don't get the "4:20" part.

    You no like many time more faster? It's more better plus double good!

    Today's version would probably look like:
    BitCoin

    DogeCoin

    For videogames, what you need is X-ray vision. The ability to see the electric signals in the LCD gril before they hit the actual pixels will give you an advantage of several milliseconds compared to your opponents. The same principle applies to Monster cables' gold-plated, titanium-coated, oxygen-free optical cables which give you pure digital audio, free of data which are not zeros or ones.
