  1. Re:and every one of them has an NSA back door. on Microsoft Has 1 Million Servers. So What? · · Score: 3, Funny

    But... virtual servers use virtual electricity, not real electricity!

    or vagina.

  3. Re:How can that be? on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    It's also possible that normal people, unlike the OSS elitists on Slashdot, see value in Apple hardware and software. The "shiny" of Apple products is just the cherry on top.

  4. I have an idea on ICANN Approves First Set of New gTLDs · · Score: 1

    1. Reserve the .isanasshole TLD
    2. Hollywood actors pay huge amounts so nobody can register "myname.isanasshole"
    3. Profits!

  5. We needed to step back, not forward on ICANN Approves First Set of New gTLDs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We should have ditched the com, net and org and just force everyone to use TLDs according to their countries. Sites like www.ebay.com would be www.ebay.us, etc.

  6. Re:OOOh IQ thread. on IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old · · Score: 2

    You have an IQ of 0xFFFFFFFF80000000?

  7. Reason on IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    But unlike most children, the machine's scores were very uneven across different portions of the test.

    That's not a bug, that's the beta version of GPP.

  8. Unfortunately on Jimmy Carter Calls Snowden Leak Ultimately "Beneficial" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Jimmy Carter is no longer president of the United States.

  9. I did not read TFA, I didn't know about the money and the attempted framing.

  10. Lame on Swedish Machine Turns Sweat Into Drinking Water · · Score: 2

    Turning sweat into drinking water is lame. I drink straight from the source! - Edward “Bear” Grylls

  11. Re:Old star trek movie on Apple-Liquidmetal Joint Patent Could Enable Futuristic-Looking Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    You don't need to explain the source, you're on Slashdot. All you needed to say was "transparent aluminium" or "Scotty".

  12. Re:Mimetic polyalloy on Apple-Liquidmetal Joint Patent Could Enable Futuristic-Looking Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Only if you drink milk straight from the carton.

  13. Fucking Flash again on Apple-Liquidmetal Joint Patent Could Enable Futuristic-Looking Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Here's a link to the YouTube video in question.

    If you have HTML5 enabled in your YouTube settings, it will play without requiring Flash.

  14. Re:Different versions of Windows on Why Microsoft Shouldn't Worry About Cannibalizing Their Userbases · · Score: -1, Troll

    If I had 1500$ I'd buy a Mac, not a shit computer with Windows on it.

  15. Re:Different versions of Windows on Why Microsoft Shouldn't Worry About Cannibalizing Their Userbases · · Score: 2

    If Windows Gamer Edition only cost 20$ I guess people wouldn't complain much about things like printers.

  16. Different versions of Windows on Why Microsoft Shouldn't Worry About Cannibalizing Their Userbases · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You know what I want? A lower-cost Windows targeted at gamers. I don't need drivers for scanners, printers, fax and other unnecessary crap if all I do is play games on it.

    A Windows with less processes running would also mean a faster computer able to dedicate more resources to the games instead of crap I don't need.

  17. Re:INDIA FEEDING CHILDREN SOYLENT GREEN !! on Pre-Dawn Wireless Emergency Alert Wakes Up NYC · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There's already animal-sourced soylent green for farm animals.

  18. I'm Canadian on Strict New Anti-Spam Regulations In Canada · · Score: 5, Funny

    Any reply to this comment will be treated as unwanted spam.

    Being Canadian, however, I feel the need to say that I'm sorry if my comment offended anyone.

  19. He shouldn't have gone to prison at all. The United States has slowly become the former USSR and nobody blinked.

  20. Prison on Former Student Gets Year In Prison For College President Election Fraud · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He's probably going to prison for accessing the students accounts, not for the election fraud itself.

  21. Re:I think he's ready on Former Student Gets Year In Prison For College President Election Fraud · · Score: 2

    What's wrong with Hwil Hweaton?

    I'd rather use a 1$ AVR.

  24. Re:QR code, introducing a new generation to hello. on Google Fixes Glass Vulnerability To Malicious QR Codes · · Score: 1

    Even more hilarious, qr.png would have text at the bottom saying "Scan this QR code to claim your prize."

    And make sure that second QR code leads to yet another, ad infinitum, in case you have two people with phones traveling the endless path to nowhere.

  25. Re:Only to be expected on Google Fixes Glass Vulnerability To Malicious QR Codes · · Score: 2

    For what it's worth, let's remember that digital has the word digit in it and analog has the word anal in it.
